How to download all emails from IMAP servers to a single inbox in local folders

I would like to have all incoming emails from my account(s) at IMAP server(s) (not POP) to be always downloaded to a single INBOX in my Local folders (all emails to be stored on my computer permanently); Thunderbird 31.5.0. Thanks, Peter.

2. you will need a separate filter for each destinations folder. It is also better to use email address contains that email address. Less precise.
3. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/attachmentextractor/?src=search but it appears it is buggy.

How to download all songs from my external drive into my itunes library

I have enough Gbytes to not use an external drive for my music.
How do I proceed to download all songs from the external drive on my internal drive?

Hello there, Laetidela.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps on how to move your iTunes library from an external hard drive to your computer:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How to select all emails from the same sender

Hi
I have been pulling my hair out with this one, what i want to do is select all emails from 1 specific sender and delete them, because my inbox is completely chocka, is this possible in mail.
Cheers
Karl

There are multiple ways to achieve this. First, you could click the From header in the mailbox in question to sort by sender, then just click the first message from the desired sender and shift-click the last message. Second, you could do a search using the search bar, limiting it to the mailbox in question and searching only the From field using the buttons that appear when you start typing a query.

How to download ALL messages from server - not just NEW messages?

Good evening.
The only pulldown menu options I find are for NEW messages.
How can I retrieve ALL messages from the email server? (Yes they are all there).
Thanks for your time.

Did you try "WebMail to goto your mail server & Mark all Messages as Unread?", as I mentioned before?
On the Server is where it's kept as to which ones have already been downloaded. I think marking the Unread should do it.

How to move all emails from mailbox to an external email account in Exchange Server 2007?

I have a user who is leaving the university in a few days. The user would like to forward all of their old emails from their mailbox to their G-mail account. Will setting up email forwarding forward all of the old emails to the G-mail account or just the
new emails that are received after setting up email forwarding? If forwarding isn't the correct solution; then what is? We are running Exchange Server 2007.

No, as you've suspected the forwarding will only affect new messages coming into the mailbox, not existing ones. Additionally, if you did get all existing messages to forward to another account (you could probably do it by creating a rule in Outlook) then
the gmail account would show every single one of them as arriving now, and lose their existing send date.
Probably a better option would be to export the mailbox to .pst, and then assuming the user has their gmail account configured in Outlook somewhere as something other than POP3 they can then open the .pst file on their machine and copy the messages over
to their gmail account, which I think would also preserve the original information.
You could do that via the server using Export-Mailbox as described here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb266964(v=exchg.80).aspx (note it has to be run from a 32-bit OS with the Exchange Management tools installed), or the user could just as easily do it themselves from within Outlook using the Export option.

How to Move All Emails from MAIL to ENTOURAGE

After 30 years married to Windows I have filed for divorce and am entering a new relationship with Apple via a new Black MacBook. (you may have heard the expression "once you've gone Black you'll never go back"!)
Although many Mac things are elegant the move from Outlook Express and Outlook to MacMAIL was disgustingly painful and amateurish. I now have 25,000 emails mixed up together in MAIL. (They were formerly neatly separated in Outlook Express into various accounts with sub-folders according to my various businesses and projects.) The Apple store that guided me was totally uninformed about the abiity to transfer intact account structures from Outlook Express and Outlook and so I am left with 10 years of filed emails all mixed together ... what a disaster in my first week of the new marriage!!
It appears to me that MAIL is not the serious business email program I need. I have heard that Entourage might be more powerful and flexible, and in fact is similar in functionality to Outlook. My HUGE concern however is the continuation of my pain in moving my emails again.
Can anyone assist me with credible advice on (a.) how to make the move (b.) is Entourage a truly business-strength program (c.) are there any programs to facilitate the transfer, and (d.) how can I get the file organization back again?
I have 6 separate accounts and own all my own domains through which I have my email services (incoming and outgoing mail is controlled by my servers).
This is my first real experience with Apple and it has been painful. While Apple seems truly superior in audio, video, music, graphics and "cool designer widgets" I have found that in a serious business environment in which email is a foundation of our businesses that Apple lags behind. I really hope to be able to embrace the Mac world totally but I am unimpressed about what I have found so far. I would be deeply grateful for any helpful comments.

Have you used Entourage's import feature?
It may not be exact since Entourage does not use the same account and filing structure as Mail but it will be close. There isn't any other way to transfer all Mail.app mailboxes and messages to Entourage that I'm aware of.

Does OSX 10.9 Mail download all mail from yahoo servers and store locally?

I recently found 11GB worth of email messages on my hard drive that had been downloaded from the Yahoo server. I can't find a setting in mail preferences to keep all of my stored e-mails on the Yahoo server from downloading and being stored locally on my internal hard drive. Suggestions?

I hadn't tried connection doctor, but it's led me to some more info about my problem, sent me to some more websites and forums and ultimately a solution...
Connection doctor was not giving me much info (1 line saying it was trying to connect), so I plumbed all the email settings into Mail 6.5 (1508) running under 10.8.4 on another Mac, I get the same issue (and the same positive result with Outlook 14.3.5), but at least connection doctor there gave me a lot more info.
The clue was this from connection doctor:

A lot of reading of forums (http://business.forums.bt.com/t5/Email/email-on-Mac-problem-sending/td-p/46630/p age/2) led me to realise this was my BT Home Hub 3, Mail and the 123-reg smtp server having an incompatibility.
I changed the name of my computer in sharing prefs to a simple name with no spaces and punctuation, made sure the new name was updated in the hub, restarted both and bingo we're working.
The hub was suffixing to wifi mac id of the Mac with .home and this was failing the EHLO/HELO authentication.
Anyway, problem solved. Thank god!!

How do I download all messages from server to my Mac Mail inbox?

Good evening.
I'm new to Mail.
All my email messages are stored on my provider's server. I can access them with my previous (and archaic) email program.
I would like to delete (already done) and reload all current messages back to my G4 Mail program.
"There must be something easy here........"
How?

Mail 2.1.3

Thanks for your reply.
It is a POP2 account.
All messages are stored on their server.

Does this lead you to any resolution?

How do delete all email from a mail box?

On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?

This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
1. Go to your inbox
2. Press Edit
3. Tap any message once to select it
4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
6. Release the Move button
7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

How to download all files from a shared workspace

In regards to your 2nd comment, that is not correct. If you look at the sharing
options of a particular document/file, there is a "publish" option which will allow
the world to see your document assuming you share the link to them. They

Further to my previous comment, have you also noticed that when you hit the "publish" button, according to Adobe's Ts&Cs:

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.
