How do I set iCloud mail to download to imac

I get a lot of email, but I don't need all of it to be mobile. I would like to have about the last weeks worth of mail up on iCloud, and I would like the rest to be downloaded to my computer and DELETED OFF the iCloud server.
How do I set that up?
I tried transferring messages to a box on my computer using a rule, but then if I set it to delete it deletes everything it just transferred

It's probably easiest to do it manually. Create a new mailbox, making sure it's under 'On My Mac', then simply go to the iCloud account (in Mail) and select the messages you want to download and simply drag them to the new mailbox.

    There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.<br />
    Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.<br />
    You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.

    If you lose the history then make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.<br />
    Also make sure that you do not have cleanup software that might clean up files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Simply add the account to the Android email app and that's it. The same as any other email program.
    If you also want iCloud calendars and contacts you must use Smoothync (Play Store)

  • Setting up Mail to download e-mail from separate addrsses to one account

    I have been trying to set up Mail to download e-mail messages from separate addresses-my wife and daughter's addresses-from one isp like you can using MS Entourage's Identities. So far I haven't discovered any articles in the Discussions Forums, Support, or in Mail Help that can help me with this issue. I even tried to set up rules to separate incoming mail to separate folders in "Mailboxes," but that didn't work. Is this something that cannot be done using Mail 1.3.11 in OSX 10.3.9? I have also tried to do the same with Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail software and haven't had any luck. Thanks in advance for any help or advise offered to resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    If what I think you want is what you want, this could be a long discussion...
    I have 'Multiple' accounts, some from the same ISP and some from another ISP all coming into my Mail program (the V. 1.3.11 one with 10.3.9) and do separate some in different Mailboxes.
    Short and sweet: Each account has to be set-up in Mail Preferences (so you can send and receive e-mail), this under "Accounts" in 'Account Information'. Clicking the + adds another.
    Then, go to "Advanced" in the same Menu. Enable it! And anything else you want there.
    Now in the same Preferences: Go to "Rules". There you can add the 'From' or 'To' and put 'Here' or 'There', a Mailbox or anywhere else you have on the front-end already (it will come up as a choice)... if you do not have the Mail boxes made yet, they will not show in the Rules Menu. So you will have to make them first, then go back to Rules and click away. And the Accounts also have to be working accounts for them to show in the Rules Menu. (enabled)
    Yes, I did it backwards the first time trying to get ahead of it... it did not take. So going from front to back did the trick. Remember, Make the Mailboxes you want; Set up the accounts (these two can be backwards and still work); lastly, do the Rules Menu.
    If you run into a wall, let us know...
    Enjoy

    How i can receive icloud mail if my icloud email disabled from apple?
    please help
    thanks

    If Apple has disabled or deactivated your e-mail account, then you will not be able to use it. Did Apple tell you why it was disabled?
    If you don't know why Apple disabled it, you'll need to contact Apple Support to find out why.

    how to remove my icloud mail from icloud server ?

    If you don't want to keep it, select it, on the iCloud website Mail page click the Trash icon in the toolbar to move it to the Trash, then click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Empty Trash'. Or in the Mail application drag the messages to the Trash and from the Mailbox menu choose 'Erase deleted items' then 'iCloud'.
    If you want to keep it, in the Mail application drag the messages to another mailbox under 'On My Mac'.

  • How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

  • How do I get iCloud Mail set as preference instead of old Apple Mail?

    Every time I click on a hyperlink e-mail address, it opens the old Apple Mail program.  How do I set everything to go to iCloud mail?

    Open Applications/Utilities/AppleScrupt Editor. Paste in the following:
    tell application "Safari"
      open location "https://www.icloud.com/#mail"
    end tell
    Save it with a suitable title and make sure to set 'File format' to 'Application'. Place it anywhere convenient.
    Now go to Mail Preferences>General and click the 'Default email reader' menu: choose 'Select' and navigate to your AppleScript.

  • How do I set my 3Gs to download only new email messages from my comcast account?

    This is something I used to be able to do with my Treo, although I believe it was a date setting (ie. - mail sent for the last 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, etc...)
    My iphone downloads up to how ever many messages (I am set to 50) irregardless of date sent.  I often end up with old emails I do not want to see again and have already delete.  IT becomes annoying having to delete messages over and over.

    All i have done is right clicked the song > add to > '(Name)'s ipod' and normally my music will go to my ipod, but it didn't, is there a way to automatically set my music to download straight to my ipod instead of manually doing it

  • How do I get iCloud mail from another computer?

    I would like to access my iCloud mail from a friend's computer. How do I do that?

    I apologize for making an incorrect assumption.  After searching now for about 30 minutes I cannot find one conclusive article from Apple that states in plain terms that you cannot access your iCloud email from another computer. I cannot find anything in the ASC when i do a search either. That really seems absurd to me, and probably another reason why I refuse most of the iCloud services myself.
    Anyway, that is of not help to you and I apologize for that. This is the most conclusive evidence that I can find that states that you can't read iCloud email on another computer unless that computer is set up with iCloud.

    I hope for your sake, that I am missing something and it is possible to access mail from another computer, otherwise it is really pointless to rely on iCloud email. I/we have to be missing something somewhere ... I hope.
