How to Limit Search Scope to the Exclude the Mail Folder

When I do a search of my computer for a document by a portion of its name (e.g. "Target"), the search finds the original document in the folder which has a name I recognize (which is good), and also as many versions attached to email messages in a folder buried as follows: Library>Mail>Pop-account>Sent Messages>Attachments>Target Document.
I prefer that the Mail folder not be searched at all. Is there a way I could exclude the Mail folder from the search? If so, how?
Thanks.
Ira

Thanks, Mike. But that does not solve my problem, which I probably did not describe with sufficient detail. Spotlight (i.e., the magnifying glass at the top right corner) is not the type of search I find useful. The "Command-F" search is what I use, and that is where I need the solution.
So, any solution out there?
Thanks, again.

Lost emails, how to get them back from the Mail folder?

Hi there.
I have a folder called +/Previous System+ inside of this folder there was folders of the system I had before.
Inside there is the Applications folder, and I deleted the old versions of the applications such as Mail, but when I did this, I lost the preferences and the email accounts, the Mail application opened as new, without any account, I still have all the folders and .mbox files under ~[User]/Library/Mail but I don't know how to make the accounts visible in Mail
Question 1: How can I retrieve my sent and received emails.
Also the accounts that I had were POP and today I learned that the hosting provider suggests IMAP, so now I'm confused.
Question 2: What should I do? if I get the accounts back will be POP or should I create IMAP accounts and try to retrieve the emails there?
Thanks!

I imported the mailboxes
Import data from: Apple Mail
and everything went back into the Mail folder.

How do you purge/compress/shrink the iPhoto11 folder/file size?

How do you purge/compress/shrink the iPhoto11 folder/file size?
I have been using iPhoto since iLife'05 and have always upgraded with each iteration of iLife. Without exception, I had just recently upgraded to iPhoto'11 when iLife'11 came out. Because I have used iPhoto to store all my photos and videos taken over the last 5 years or so, my iPhoto folder/file has become bigger and bigger over time and so I moved it to an external hard-drive. My main iPhoto'11 folder/file has 14,367 photos, 995 videos and is indicated to be 83 GB by iPhoto'11. But "Get Info" in Finder reports a whopping 130 GB.
I started to think that this is getting a little crazy and I had wanted to better manage my photo collection, so I decided to "divide and conquer" this gigantic iPhoto'11 folder/file into several smaller, more manageable sized ones. So I made a duplicate copy of this gigantic iPhoto'11 folder/file onto another external hard-drive, fire-up iPhoto'11 again to delete away almost 80% of the photos and 90% of the videos. Now, my "slimmed-down" iPhoto folder/file has 3,000 photos, 75 videos and is indicated to be 6.8 GB by iPhoto'11. But despite the new "slimmed-down" status, the "Get Info" in Finder reports a still very huge 44 GB. Where did all those bulk come from? I have emptied both the iPhoto'11 Trash Can and Mac OS X Trash Can and these steps did not seemed to change anything at all.
Therefore, I wanted to see what the "Get Info" in Finder will report if I were to delete 99.99% of the photos and video to leave just one (1) photo in iPhoto'11? Guess what is the result? My "One Photo experimental" iPhoto folder/file has 1 photo, 0 videos and is indicated to be 2 MB by iPhoto'11 yet the "Get Info" in Finder reports a mysterious 36.3 GB. There must be something hiding inside!
Help! What can I do?

I went on to try trashing away some of the folders and files inside and found that I could actually do it quite neatly if I go by the year which the photos are taken. After a lot of trial and error working on duplicate copy of my iPhoto '11 library, I am able to do away with all the clutter within the library and still open it normally.
Now my 44GB obese iPhoto'11 library has been slimmed down to just a little over 7 GB (5 GB as reported by iPhoto'11) and I am just comfortable dealing with 2 GB of "don't-know-what-info" of clutter within the library.
Remember my "One Photo Experimental" iPhoto'11 library that was 36.3 GB? I managed to bring it down to the realistic 22 MB size. This size is still double that of a brand new iPhoto'11 library I created to import 1 photo. However, it sure beat having 36.3 GB of clutter.
So, now what I am gonna do is to "divide and conquer" the duplicate copies of my iPhoto'11 library into smaller sized ones according to their year. But I think I'll still keep the original bloated, gigantic 130 GB intact and continue to feed it with photos and videos until maybe it becomes 1 TB! Yikes!
Anyway, million thanks for your tip and I really appreciate it! Have a Happy holidays!

How to attach a file to the mail

How to attach a file to the mail

I know that this can be done when going to any PDF program and push (send as email)
This also can done with multiple files or even with separate pages from that PDF file (Many programs can do that, like: PDF expert, Adobe Reader, iBooks, PDF Provider, Documents, etc)
But what if I begin to wright an email, then I wanted to attach a file (such as PDF, or word, or any file) , FOR BASIC APPLE MAIL IT IS UNAVAILABLE
You can attach Photo or Video but not PDF or other document
There are some email programs that can attach files to email such as my.mail (as you can see from the photo)
But why Apple don't provide such simple service ???

How to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?

Is there a piece of code in JavaScript on how to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?
thanks a lot

Please disregard this message. The information below is only semi-accurate. When I get some kinks worked out I'll edit this again. -Bill
FYI,
Don't really know if I'm adding anything useful but here it is. I use NetBeans and I simply added an images folder so now I have my package (deckofcards) and a sub package deckofcards.images.
The image:
back: Image {
            url: "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG",
            backgroundLoading:true
            placeholder:bind placeholder
        };works and the value of "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG" becomes
<CARD backUrl="jar:file:/C:/Users/Bill/Documents/NetBeansProjects/DeckOfCards/dist/DeckOfCards.jar!/deckofcards/B.JPG">
...when I marshal. That string (backUrl) will unmarshal correctly and can be use in the url variable to display and image too.

I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
I watch the youtube videos online.
How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
* checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
* extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
* or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
* Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-youtube-videos/

How to move back microsoft in the original folder

How to move back microsoft in the original folder?

Microsoft Office? The applications themselves go into Applications>Microsoft Office 2011.
Why did you move them? You may need to install anew if you've moved the applications in the suite.

Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive. how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

Where is the mail folder in Mtn. Lion?

I am setting up Time Machine to back up the files on my iMac. I want to exclude Applications, the System, and related files for space reasons, but want to make sure that I get a backup of my e-mail files. I have searched for the MAIL folder but can't find it. What is the path to where the e-mails are stored in Mountain Lion? Thanks

Hmm - out of curiosity - would the User Library be part of the System deep down in the file hierarchy?
@ ReidMac:
Not sure if excluding the System (or Applications for that matter) would be wise - it may prevent you from being able to restore from Time Machine in case your system is borked? If size is of concern - and since Time Machine keeps making backups until the disk/partition is full - have you considered a different backup strategy, such as a bootable clone which needs exactly the same amount of space as your system currently uses?

Mail does not accept that the Mail folder is on an external drive

On Snow Leopard and on Lion, I have moved the Mail folder (from the Library) to another location (on an external drive) which happen to also be my Dropbox folder. In these two OS, it worked well so my Mail folder is portable and also online. I have used aliases that lead Mail from my Library folder to the Mail folder on my external drive.
On my new MacBook Pro preconfigured with Mountain Lion, Mail, as soon as I launch it, tells me that it can not use the Mail folder located on my external volume because it has not Read&Write permissions.
OK but my Mail folder, inclusing all enclosed folders, have the right Read&Write permissions.
I have read here and there that there are many issues with Mail on Mountain Lion so I was also wondering if there are no solutions if I can install Lion on this brand new MacBook Pro or did Apple did again something stupid to prevent us to do so.
Any solution on my Mountain Lion problem would be appreciated.
Thank you for your support

I have found this solution: http://thenerdnest.com/2012/08/how-to-move-apples-mail-folder-to-an-external-dri ve.html
and it seems that my problem is now solved!

Where is the mail folder in 10.8

I recently changed from 10.6.8 (snow leopard) to 10.8 (mountain lion). In 10.6, in the finder window, under the library tab, there was a folder for "Mail". I was able to copy the folder "Mail" and take it to another computer I have at a different location and keep both computers synched.
In 10.8, the Mail folder is not there.
Where is the application Mail, storing the mail folders with their content? I want to do the same thing of synching another computer with all of my current mail boxes and content.
Lee

It did work!
Thank You.
I did notice that the "Mail" folder in the Library maintains the same date, (the date when I installed Mountain Lion, June 11 2013 6:15 PM) even after there are updates and new E-mails comming in.
The size of the folder does change when I delete (put into trash E-mails) or receive new E-mails, but the date of "date modified" never changes. It stays on June 11, 2013 6:15PM.
Because the date never changes, it makes it hard to know when i look into "Time Machine", which is the most current Mail folder.
HELP PLEASE!
Lee
