How do I manage old messages in Mail on my Mac?

Hi,
I can no longer receive Yahoo messages in Mail on my Mac.
This could be because I have over 20,000 messages in my Inbox?
I'm wondering if there is a way I can arrange for Mail to delete and
archive all these messages so I don't have to do it manually?
If there is a way, please explain how to do it.
Thanks all!

Select the bottom or top e-mail, then hold down the shift key and select the last e-mail, the Mail/Message/Archive.

  • I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

    To do that, you would have to have iMessage setup on both your iPhone and your Mac (no PC option), take a look at this Apple doc -> Messages (Mountain Lion): About iMessage and iOS devices

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • How do I recover .emix messages into Mail app?

    I wanted to rebuild my mailbox because of some issues I was having with a rule not catching all the files I thought it should. I am using 4 POP accounts all on the same smtp server. I have 10s of thousands of messages so I knew it might take some time. When I selected it, all messages disappeared from all mailboxes, including the folders on my Mac. I was patient for a while, but when over 24 hours had passed with no visible sign that anything was happening. I force quit the app and relaunched. Everything was still empty. Per another discussion, I deleted the old Envelope index files from the MailData folder and relaunched. It seemed to work, taking a couple of hours to reimport, and everything looked fine. But now I find that all the old messages in my Wife's Mail account are empty. However they all still exist in her INBOX.mbox folder, but in a subfolder called Data-T0x600000673740-T75NeQ instead of the Data folder, which holds only the messages since the restart. So I have all these .emix files but how do I reimport them to the program? Remembering that they already appear in the list as if they exist.

    As an update. I tried using an emix to mbox converter, but, while it did create an mbox with the ~18k messages, when imported messages had no from, date or subject entries, so finding any old message would be incredibly difficult. All formatting and attachments were gone as well.

  • How can I manage all my e-mail in the cloud?

    I am interested in managing all my e-mail in the cloud, even those mails I have already archived in my Mac.
    I am interested in manage my messages through all my devices (iMac, iPadf, iPhone, Macbook Pro etc.)
    iCloud only offers up to 50 Gb. My archived mail is 25 Gb so far. My current mailbox is 7 gb so far and growing
    I have been thinking use iCloud Mail, but I don't know if I would be able to upload all my archived messages so I can manage them
    anytime, anywhere
    Your suggestions would be very appreciated
    Carlos

    If you need more space, use a different email service.  The maximum iCloud account is 55 GB.

    How to get old pictures back and messages

    If you deleted pictures without importing them to the computer, they are gone. Messages are kept in the backup, but once they are deleted they are gone as well.
    What are you trying to do? Even plugging into the computer will not allow you to read old messages if you have deleted them.

  • How do I migrate my old emails in Mail from one Mac to another?

    I've upgraded from a G5 (OS Tiger) to a Mac Pro (OS Leopard). I've set up Mail on the Pro, but I want to migrate/move all my email folders, Inbox messages, Sent mail, etc. from my G5 to the Pro. I thought manually grabbing all folders and files from Library/Mail/... and placing them in the same place on the Pro would have done the trick, but no emails show when I have Mail up.
    I've searched through Apple Support, but the closest match is migrating from a PC to a Mac. Not quite what I'm looking for.
    This seems like a pretty standard question. Hopefully someone out there can walk me through it.
    Thanks!
    Steve (aka Twitchy)

    Hi Steve,
    The best most complete method would be to use Migration Assistant to Migrate everything, but if they're networked with File Sharing enabled on the older one, then connect using the G5's username & Password, then on the new Mac use Mail>File>Import Mailboxes>Apple Mail...

  • How to retrive the old messages in sxmb_moni (integration engine)

    Hi Expert,
    We were trying to call RFC and send some messages through XI. Due to some connection issue the message was failed in integration engine(MONI). As this messages had failed last week. We are not able to see the messages in MONI.
    Now we wanted to get the payload of the messages which had failed.
    Can you please suggest how can we see those messages and get the payload which is now not visible in MONI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Nutan Champia.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your response. I am able to see some messages in the mentioned table but I am not able to open those messages in MONI with the message id given in the table SXMSPMAST2 (SXMSPMAST) and SXMSPHIST to get the payload. (I have given date selection critaria as 1st of Nov 2011 till date). As this is very important for us would you please help us.
    Hi Venkata Ramesh,
    So if I have correctly understood you, then you mean to say that these messages which is not visible in moni we can not retrive the payload.
    Would you please help me to understand where can we see the settings to mention the number of days for which these messages should appear in MONI. (So that we can increase or can see the current settings for our project)
    Thanks
    Nutan

  • When I try to delete a message it deletes but then the app freezes and when I restart my phone the message is still there. How do I delete old messages?

    I have an iphone 4s with ios 7.0. I'm trying to update to ios 7.1 but I don't have enough storage space because I have so many old messages and this glitch is preventing me from deleting them to free more space.

    Try restoring your iPhone.  Plug it into iTunes on your computer (current version), let it sync, then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

    I want to view messages from around this time last year, and I have previously deleted them from my ipod.
