How do I encrypt a folder for email

I'd like to encrypt, ideally compress and encrypt a series of pdfs and mail them to a Windows person.
I know stuffit does that but it is cumbersome and I have an old version.
Any ideas on a modern utility - or using OSX

First open the file on your computer. Then go to file>print. Click on the PDF button and then select save as PDF. Select where to save it, then select security options. Then save it and give it a password. Now open Mail and create a new message and attach the password protected PDF. When you attach the PDF a notice comes up that the PDF is password protected and it asks for the password. Don't put in the password, just send the email. The person receiving the email will have to put in the password to open it. It works very well, even when receiving it on an iPad.

Folder for email

how create a folder for emails on my IPad?

At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appears in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

The folders on the desktop are widgets. Hit the app button in the top right hand side to take you to the app and widget drawer. Once there tap on the word Widgets at the top of the screen and scroll over to the folder widgets.

You can't. Under what circumstances are you hoping to see the characters? When you type them in? You do see each character as you type it in for a fraction of a second. But you can't see the whole thing.

How to compress file 32+ mb for email attachment

how to compress file 32+ mb for email attachment, after I used compress it's still shows 29 mb. Is there another step I could do. I am new with MAC so please forgive if this sound simple and stupid question.

You simply don't attach that file to email. Even if you could cut the size by half, that's still way too big for email. Many mail servers will remove attachments over a certain size, and for most of those that size is below 10 MB. Find another way to share that file, like a web server or Dropbox or something along those lines.

How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

Hello,
Office 2010 32bit, VBA
Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running? If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result. IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
Many thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

TS3276 how does one select a folder for an outgoing email, prior to sending out that email?

I would like to know what I need to do to select a folder for my outgoing emails before I send them. In other words, if I am sending a message to someone, Outlook has the option to select the folder where you would like to save the outgoing email to. That way, you are able to document all of your important outgoing emails. I was wondering if Apple mail had the same option. I know you can set rules up, the challenge is that the rules do not always apply depending on the email messages.
Thank you for your assistance.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How do I encrypt an archive for a PC user?

I can't find a way to encrypt an archive for a PC user. There doesn't seem to be an option when making an archive from the Finder. I also tried making an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility but the PC can't open the DMG filetype apparently.
In the reverse, the same problem exists if I try to open a zip file encrypted on a PC - can't be done.
When I do a Google search the results for encrypted archive usually point to Stuffit Deluxe or encrypted disk images that you can use on your mac or another Mac.
Does anyone know how to make/use encrypted archives that are cross platform? I'd like to avoid buying a program (i.e. Stuffit Deluxe) just for this one utilitarian task. Thanks.

Thanks, Dave.
I tried the command you gave me. It worked! I could open the zipped archive on my neighbor's PC.
The only weird things, are that it seems to zip all the other folders, e.g. users\Marlinespike\desktop\target-file, in the filepath and not just the target file, and that it also drops the zipped archive in the home folder.
I tried adding some of the other commands, such as zip -e -r or zip -er or zip -e -d but it doesn't seem to work. However, this is a huge improvement over where I was earlier.
I clicked through those links - I forgot about Mac GNU Privacy and am going to check those out too.

How do i transfer a folder of emails dragged from old mail app on old mac?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What is the format of those emails and how did you create them? Exactly what do you mean by "add to my new mac"?

How to scan a specific folder for the existance of a PDF before saving

I created a folder level function for saving a file by passing it a name and a path. The problem is I don't want to allow the user to overwrite a file of the same name. I would rather want to append a version number to it's name so I can keep track of the evolution of the form.
I'm thinking about a script to scan the folder for the occurrence of a file and returns something or throws an error. I experimented with app.browseForDoc() but I don't want the dialog box to show.
I would use a do/while loop to appends a version number and then look for the file until I get a specific return value or error indicating that the file is not present (or in my case that the name is not already used).

I think I have just the answer, I still need to try it though. I forgot about prompting the user for appending version numbers because it would mean he'd have to cancel a bPromptToOverwrite box for each version present in the folder. That's way too many boxes.
BUT....;o)
I needed a way to prevent overwriting which is the first concern. What I'm looking for is a way to:
1-stop my save script before overwiting;
2-Append version number if script stops and launch save script again;
One way to stop the script is when an error is thrown. I'm thinking about saving the file as a copy with the bCopy parameter and adding a DOS script to the folder that would monitor in real time the attributes of all files and turn it to read-Only. That way, if I run my save function and reader tries to overwrite a file, it will throw an error. I will modify my save function to return a boolean named successfulSave. Using a try/catch handler, I will append a version number to the file name and call the save function again. I will encapsulate this in a do/while loop until successfullSave is true.
