How To Backup Mail for Legal Purposes

How do I back up a Mail folder for legal purposes. Is printing out suffecient? These may need to be used in court and I want to make sure I have them saved or printed out properly.
Thanks in advance - Macbook Mom

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Depending on what type of legal arbitration is being done a printed copy may be sufficient. I would consult with the lawyer you are speaking to what is sufficient. Note, .Mac and IMAP servers are normally storing mail off where you are getting your e-mail from. POP normally stores it locally on your computer depending on your mail preferences. The advantage of the former is that you can take a notebook computer or any computer anywhere and retrieve them. The advantage of the latter is that it is securely in your possession except when it initially arrives at where you are getting e-mail from. Switching from one to the other you have to be very careful not to lose messages, as it may not save the messages from one to the other. Mail offers you the ability to create an "On my Mac" folder in the left hand side of Mail by control-mouse clicking the Inbox and making sure the location is on my Mac. If you store all your messages there, before you migrate from IMAP to POP or vice versa you will be safer. Once that is done, your messages are stored in Home (users -> yourname) -> Library -> Mail folder. Once it is stored there, it can be backed up to CD, DVD, or external hard drive.
If you are using some other mail client than Mac OS X Mail, it will store its messages elsewhere. Let us know if you need to know where Entourage, or Netscape, or some other client stores messages if they are POP or stored locally?

  • How to backup mail in 10.3.9

    I'd like to know how to backup Mail in 10.3.9.
    Help says to:
    Copy all the files located in Home/Library/Mail.
    Copy the file "com.apple.mail.plist," located in Home/Library/Preferences.
    Copy the folder "AddressBook," located in Home/Library/Application Support.
    NONE OF THESE THINGS EXIST on my computer. No folder called Mail in the Library. No folder called AddressBook in Application Support. No file called com.apple.mail.plist in Preference.
    Please tell me how to backup my Mail.

    Are you sure you are looking in the library folder within your account

    You would have to contact Apple in order to do that. Just use this link to ask Apple for a refund: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • I want to change my name on my outgoing ID. I want to use my professional name rather than the name i use only for legal purposes as that is how people know me

    my friends and clients know me as Jeanette Vonier
    this is also on all my bank accounts
    I use my birth name Jeanette Stringham only for legal documents and credit cards.
    I prefer to have my professional name Jeanette Vonier show as my id on messages.
    however the thunderbird mail through gandhi.net inserted the professional id instead and I cannot figure out how to change that. as a consequence my emails may be flagged as spam or go unopened.
    please advise how I may correct that and change the name showing up.

    The way to change what ever people see when they get your email is to set up your email the way you want to. '''Modzilla''' defaults to the name that you use for your computer.
    '''Open Modzilla''' go to tools then '''account settings''' When that page opens you will see your name as it appears on your email and your email address you can change any of this if you want and even create a signature which can be really cool if you know some basic HTML

  • How to backup configuration for a domain?

    While I am learning WebLogic Server, I created serveral domains for excersice.
    However, my laptop is now crashed and need to reinstall the whole system. So HOW
    should I do to backup all the domains? If it's impossible, it means I have to
    re-create all the domains again. I believe there must be a backup way. What's
    that?

    Alternatively you could use the fantastic wlshell utility
    (www.wlshell.com) to generate a script to recreate your domain (it can
    generate a script automatically from your config.xml). That has the
    advantage that you can use it to build domains on different machines
    very easily, customising where necessary.

  • Possible to retrieve 2 months of deleted txt to/fro one number--for legal purposes?

    This would be in aid of preventing a dispute so, if a court-order or something lawyerly is required, then it's a no-go.  But, if not, I'm hoping like heck I can get hold of a copy/transcript/file (whatever) of the actual text messages that have passed between my phone and that of another person over the last couple of months.  I don't mind if I have to pay Verizon, or a service or whatever.  (We're talking probably hundreds of deleted messages dating back to early November as of yesterday--first on a Droid 2, then switching to a Droid Razr in mid-Dec..)
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Best,
    CF

    Verizon Wireless only keeps a few days worth of text message content on their servers. A court order is required to retrieve them. The text message log (numbers and times) are available for 90 days worth on your MyVerizon account online. You can download that information to an Excel spreadsheet.
    The Android devices do also have the option of a third party application from the Play Store to backup and even restore your text messages from one phone to the next. You can also email the backup file to your email address if desired. You do have to have the application installed and running in the background before the messages are deleted from the device. I personally use SMS Backup and Restore which saves the backup file to the SD/storage of the phone as an XML file. I can then email that file to myself and print it out with my computer.

  • HOW TO BACKUP MAIL

    I want to transfer all my emails, folders and preferences settings (including accounts settings) from my iMac to my Powerbook.
    What folders and files I have to transfer?
    I'm using Snow Leopard in both computers.

    To back up your messages, back up the folder at the path in Templeton Peck's post.
    For your Mail settings, go to your home folder/Library/Preferences, and back up com.apple.mail.plist
    That's all you need, just that one folder and that one file. Copy them both to the same locations on your other Mac, and Mail should come right up with everything.
