How do I set Mail to only download one-month old emails?

Hello there
I have been a Mac user since 2008 but I have never actually used the default Mail client. I always used third-party applications but since most applications on Yosemite perform really well, I decided to give Mail a shot. The only problem I am facing right now is finding a setting to have Mail only download one-month old emails rather than the whole inbox? I have three accounts (Two on GMAIL and one on Hotmail) and of course they contain thousands and thousands of emails and it will take a very, very long time to download all of them since my internet is pretty slow (2MB), so I was wondering if that option is available? It'd be fantastic. It's available on Android and iOS AFAIK so I assumed maybe it's an option on Mac too?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Tarek Elsakka

If you have gmail (Google Mail), one idea is to "label" all the mail you want to in the gmail web interface and then just download mail with a certain label. Take a look at the article at http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/download-copy-of-your-gmail-and-google.htm l
Does that help?

HT4993 how do i set phone to ONLY download songs that ive selected in itunes

On the Summary page of your device in iTunes, select "Sync only checked songs and videos."

How do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?

I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app. After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default. I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,

The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway.

New Mac - Don't want Mail auto downloading all my old emails.

I am getting a new Mac and from previous experience, once you open Mail it automatically downloads all the old emails situated on your ISP's mail server.
As I have got these emails saved on my present computer I don't want all 1,500 of them downloading to my new Mac.
I could prevent it by deleting the emails on my ISP's mail server but I want to keep them there as an independent backup.
Is there any way I can configure Mail to ensure that it only downloads new emails and not the old ones?

I've been mulling this over overnight and wanted to follow up.
The only thing I can think of is if your email is set up using the older POP technology, you could do this one of two ways:
1/ migrate your mail across, then from within the mail app, delete whats there (ensure your delete from server settings are switched to off - if only for this section). This will tell the server that you've already downloaded the existing mail and it ill only download new emails. IMPORTANT: this will only work for a POP Account.
2/ Again, POP only but you could alternatively redownload all the mail, and perform the #1 steps.
As for IMAP accounts, these by nature Sync with the server, so I think you're firmly out of luck.

How to configure mail client to only download headers(titles) of emails

Hi there?
I have 10 different email accounts (for some weird reasons that i think irrelevant fir this question), and i want to use Mail app as my main client. iCloud, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, other imap and pop etc.
Now the mail client is trying to download everything from the servers which is gigs of storgae space. I need to configure mail to only download titles of emails, not the entire email with attachments etc.
I can do that very simply in MS Outlook, and even in the old outlook express client.
How can i do that in Mavericks mail client please? I looked everywhere
Thanks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

How to set Mail NOT to download new messages?

How can I set Mail NOT to automatically download incoming email messages when it opens?
I have several email accounts turned on within Mail. My default email is NOT iCloud, and I use another app to manage that account. However, within other apps, for example, to report a crash, the iPad defaults to Mail to send the report. That is OK. However, in the process it starts downloading all my incoming messages. I want it NOT to do that.
i want it to download new messages only when I ask it to do so.
Thanks.

The iPhone data plans are unlimited, so you shouldnt be concerned about cost. That being said, it is ANNOYING to have all accounts (I have six) check email just because I launch the mail app. And if I follow a URL in an email to Safari, then come back to Mail, it checks AGAIN.
Nope, there is not way to stop if from doing that short of turning the account OFF under Mail Settings, which is even MORE inconvenient. I went to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and left them a message. Perhaps you should do the same.

The "LocalAccount" is "On My Mac" and doesn't correspond to an account on a mail server. That all I can tell you from the information provided.

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

How Do You Set Mail To 'Manual' ?

Never had problem with iPhone until yesterday. I am not receiving 'push' e-mail anymore. I did not do any changes to the iPhone at all. Any e-mail now I have to go to inbox and click on the curved arrow symbol at bottom left of page in order to load the waiting e-mails. In a different posting someone mentioned to test 'push' function by setting e-mail to 'manual' and then sending your Yahoo account an e-mail from your computer (I assume using a different e-mail service). In the 'settings' menu for 'mail' I do not see where you set for 'manual'. How do you set mail to 'manual' setting? And do you think I should just RESET the iPhone (using the iPhone or hooking it up to iTunes on the computer to RESET) ?

I have no other e-mail accounts set up. Anyway I did RESET my iPhone (using the RESET button on the iPhone) and all is well again (how long I do not know). My e-mails are being 'pushed' again so that I can see from the main menu the little red dots (with the numerals inside) showing how many e-mails are waiting for me. I love this feature. I had 'push' e-mail on my ex-Blackberry. BUT, I do not see the AUTO-CHECK anywhere. I am heading over to the Apple Techies at my local Apple store to ask them about this missing AUTO-CHECK. I have a feeling you need two account set up on your iPhone for this feature to appear. I could be wrong. Thanks, everybody........

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights

to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

How can I set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer choices?

I've given it half an hour. Can't seem to figure out how I can set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer options. I'm not sure if I need to download an Adobe file, and what folder I might need to place it in, and if I also need to add a specific driver.
I'm trying to create a PDF file that printers and outfits like www.lulu.com will accept. Printing an MS Word document via 'Adobe PDF printer' will allow me, I'm told, to produce a suitable PDF file.
Ideally I'm producing the original document in Pages - but I've been told by printers and lulu.com et. al. that no one out there likes PDF's produced by Pages ("not professional").
Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated...
Ben

I downloaded the Lulu Adobe PDF joboptions file ... but it didn't come with any instructions on how to install or use it. I just have the file. I opened it with a double click and got Adobe Distiller - and I can 'see' what the settings are, but I'd love to understand how to install it so it becomes a selection when I export from Pages.
Forget the Lulu instruction about double click to install. Quit Acobat Distiller and Acrobat Pro. Move the Lulu joboptions file to the Adobe PDF Settings folder. The path to it is:
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/
or
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
You're in the right folder when you see other joboptions files already in the Settings folder.
Next, launch Pages and open your document.
From the File menu, select Page Setup. In that window, select Adobe PDF 7 for "Format for," choose your paper size, orientation and scale % and click OK.
From the File menu, select Print
In the Print window, be sure the Printer is Adobe PDF 7
Click on Layout for a pop down list and select PDF Options
To the right of "Adobe PDF Settings" click for a pop up list and select Lulu
Click Print
