How to deactivate rules sync in apple mail?

Hi,
unfortunately, rules in apple mail are synced via iCloud when "Documents & Data" is activated in iCloud settings. I would have thought that deactivating the "Mail" checkbox should do that, but this one seems to be related to iCloud email adresses only.
My problem is, that I need the "Document & Data" sync for other apps, but I cannot turn it on because then, mail rules will be synced too. This leads to a horrible mess as I have different rules on my private mac and on my business mac.
How can I deactivate the "Documents & Data" sync just for a single app (in this case Apple Mail) and leave it on for the others? Did I miss something, or can I just turn it on and off for all apps?
Thanks in advance,
Timo

I don't have a second computer to test, but you could use DropBox, OneDrive, Box.com or other cloud service to sync your documents and data.

How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

I received some important emails in my spam folders when I checked them with Safari, but Apple mail does not have them in Inbox or Junk folder. How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
Here's my Gmail account listing:
It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.

How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

I wasn't aware that you could sync other mail accounts with MobileMe, other than their settings. If you are referring to settings, then they should already be set up on your mobile device, any new accounts would need to be added manually.
POP accounts will continue to receive and send e-mail but will not sync (so for example if you delete an e-mail on one device it won't be deleted on the other), IMAP/exchange accounts will continue to function as they always have.

How to sync the apple mail with exchange servers?

Hello, I am trying to configure the Apple Mail app to sync the mailboxes with the corporate EXCHANGE SERVER. The mails did not sync as I click, Is anybody had the same problem? is there any special configuration?
vanderlei

Unlike Gmail, which is set up as either an IMAP or Exchange account, POP accounts will delete messages from the server when they are retreived by an email client, such as your iPhone. The only way to keep them longer is to change the Delete From Server setting on your account (if present) to Never. (This is supported by many, but not all, POP accounts). This is usually found on your phone in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>tap your POP account, tap Advanced (usually under Outgoing Mail Server), tap Delete from Server, set to Never. As for the messages already deleted, unfortunately they can't be retreived at this point since they have in all likelihood already been deleted from your POP account's server. Also, you can't recover them from your iPhone backup as the backup doesn't not contain email messages.

Blackberry notes sync with Apple mail notes

When I sync my blackberry it says that the notes sync with the Apple mail notes, but I cannot find the Apple mail notes. How do I access them??
Thank you.

I had the same problem. It actually syncs the memos to Mail. Open Mail from your computer, and on the left side there should be drop menus called: Mail, Reminders, and RSS. On mine, Reminders was closed, so I dropped it, and there was another menu called "Notes", and viola! There were all the Blackberry Notes, ready to go! It's literally saved in "Apple Mail Notes".
This thread is what made me look there: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12187767
Hope I helped!

IPod notes syncing with Apple Mail

When I finally started using Apple Mail on my MacBook, the next time that I synced my iPod Touch, all of the notes from the iPod showed up in the inbox of my mail. If I delete them from the inbox, they get deleted from everywhere - the iPod, the notes folder, the trash folder, wherever. How can I get the notes out of my inbox so that they're not cluttering that up, but keep them on the iPod? Or did I set up something wrong?

Turned out to be a simple, but obscure fix: In the Mail application on the MacBook, go to Preferences > Account > Mailbox Behaviors and find the check box for "Show notes in Inbox". I just unchecked it!

Flag color sync in Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo?

It appears that colored flags sync through iCloud for your @me.com email address. Is there a way to get the colored flags to sync across computers for a Yahoo or Google account? For example, if I flag an email in my Gmail account with a Green Flag on my Apple desktop computer in Apple Mail, is there a way to get the flag to show up as Green on my laptop in Apple Mail? Currently, the fact that the email is flagged syncs across computers and accounts, but not the particular color of the flag. Also, highlighting an email a certain color does not appear to sync, even for my @me.com account. And lastly, now that Apple has switched from Mobile Me to iCloud, they have given up Mail Rule syncing... is there a way to get my Apple Mail Rules to sync between computers? Thanks!

Upon further investigation, I have determined that flag colors applied in Apple's Mail program DO sync through your iCloud @me.com email address AND through a Google gmail account. However, flag colors DO NOT sync through Yahoo. Email highlight colors DO NOT appear to sync through iCloud, Gmail, or Yahoo. If anyone figures out a way to enable any of these features that at the moment do not sync (flag color in Yahoo, highlight color, mail rules), please respond!

How do i transfer my old Apple Mail to a new iMac

I have a new iMac running OS 10.10.1 and Apple Mail 8.1 and an old Mac Pro running OS 10.7.5 and Apple Mail 5.3. I have a LOT of unwanted apps and other material on my MacPro which I don't want to transfer so I can't use migration methods that just transfer everything. So, I am generally struggling to transfer applications and files but particularlyy Apple Mail. I have lots of saved mail in folders (stored, I believe, locally on my Mac) which I DO wish to keep.
So, the questions are:
1. what is the best way to transfer a large and complex Apple Mail set of files?
and
2. Is there a tool to there that enables me to selectively transfer files between Macs?
Grateful for any suggestions/advice.

Just sync or Back Up the iPhone, you do not need to Update Firmware or Restore Firmware. Just sync or Back Up.
Then sync or restore the Back Uo to the new iPhone. You do not have to Update Firmware or Restore Firmware. Just sync or restore from the Back Up. Do not Restore the Firmware.

How do I synch iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail?

I believe this is the simplest way to phrase this:
I want everything that I do to my Gmail account, no matter where I do it (iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 on a MacBook Pro, and Gmail on the web) to synch across those three platforms.
Now on to the more complicated part and multiple questions:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the only way for iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail web to behave completely "in synch" is to use ONLY IMAP...and therefore, the first step I took was to DISABLE POP on Gmail web, and ENABLE IMAP on Gmail web.
Problem #1: My Apple Mail account was originally set up as POP. Therefore, I created a "second" gmail account in Apple Mail, using the same username and password, but choosing to use IMAP rather than POP. So now MAILBOXES in Apple Mail has 2 "sub inboxes" under my Inbox, which I named "Gmail Pop (for archival purposes only)" and "Gmail - IMAP." There is also "DRAFTS" (unchanged), "SENT" (unchanged), and "TRASH" with 2 "sub trash cans" - Gmail Pop and Gmail IMAP.
* Since POP is disabled, at this point is it safe to completely delete the entire POP account from my Apple Mail? If I do that, will "Gmail Pop" disappear as a "sub inbox" and "sub trash can"? I would like to have only 1 INBOX and TRASH under MAILBOX in Apple Mail.
* Once I am ONLY using IMAP on my MacBrook Pro, what happens when I have no wireless / internet connection (for example, when I'm out of my condo and riding on the train)? Is there any way to actually download my Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders to Apple Mail on my Mac using only IMAP - so that I have the option to work offline?
Problem #2: I figured out how to change the setting on my iPhone so that I can actually delete messages and not just archive them to "All Mail" on Gmail Web and make them disappear from the iPhone Inbox. The issue is that on all 3 devices - iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 AND Gmail, with IMAP enabled I now have 3 "trash folders": I'm not exactly sure where everything is going depending where it's deleted from, but I ONLY want it to go to TRASH (and not the weird [Gmail]Trash folder nor the newly created "Deleted Messages" option in Gmail Web) - regardless of how it's deleted.
* How do I get rid of the [Gmail]Trash and Deleted Messages options across all 3 clients (iPhone, Apple Mail and Gmail web) - so that whether I'm running my thumb over the message in my Inbox and choosing "Delete" (iPhone version) / pressing the "Delete" button on my Mac (Apple Mail version) / checking the box next to the message in my inbox and then clicking the Trash icon that comes up (Gmail version) - so that no matter how I'm deleting my mail, all that happens is that it goes into just one Trash area (on all 3 clients) - so that it gets permanently deleted after 30 days....Basically, I don't want messages lingering in a bunch of different trash folders, where some are permanently deleted and some aren't - I just want 1 "centralized" trash area!
Problem #3: In Apple Mail --> Mail --> Preferences --> Mailbox Behaviors: If I want the solutions for problem #1 and problem #2 to work, which boxes should be checked? I don't really understand why you would or would not put everything on "the server"... nor do I understand what "server" they are talking about.
Problem #4: Since I've started using IMAP on my Mac, my internet connection in general, as well as my Apple Mail, has slowed down quite a bit. Will this go away once I completely rid my computer of the POP files?
Problem #5: Doesn't it seem pretty simple that someone would want all the same things to happen to you whether you're using Gmail web, Apple Mail, or your iPhone? Why don't Google and Apple work together to make this a MUCH simpler process?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Gmail won't sync with apple mail

My apple mail no longer shows any past or current gmail message. I have tried deleting the account and making a new one and I have tried reinstalling OS X (I am currently running OS X 10.10.2 and running Mail 8.2). This has been going on for a couple days, I have not updated the system or anything, it just sort of stopped happening. If anyone had any ideas to how I can fix this I would be very grateful.
Thanks!

Clarification question - can you download e-mails or you can't see downloaded e-mails?
Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

How can I set up my apple mail to get mail from my exchange account?

My work recently changed the security on the Outlook Exchange server. I used to be able to get my Exchange email on my iPhone and in Apple Mail, but now it only works on my iPhone. I don't understand how to get my Apple Mail to receive the emails? I contacted tech support at work and they said that they don't support Apple Mail they only support iPhone. I have the settings for my iPhone that work but I don't understand why they don't work in Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton!

How to add a photo to Apple Mail signature...? (he asks laughably)

Since the sender's Address Book photo is not included with emails sent
(even 'though Apple Mail makes it look like they are),
how can you add a personal photo to a Mail signature?
OR, is there another means of including a personal photo with every email sent?
**** How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
Thx.

How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
As a matter of fact I have never seen it mentioned before. Perhaps only a few people need such an ego-trip every time they send an email.
The normal way is to add a photo within the text or as an attachment. The Signature only handles thumbnails.
But you can send your suggestion to Apple via their feedback link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
It will be read but you will not receive a reply.
