HT2500 How to archive mail messages outside the mail app, like in an external drive?

can you please explain how to archive messages in an external drive,? Thank you

Hello, If you have 2 Macs with Firewire, bot the 10.3 one into FireWire target disk mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then use Mail on the other one to Import.
If that isn't possible then I think this is the same for 10.3 as 10.4 & up...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
As an aside, what is best way to delete all private data a Mac Cube G4 in order to sell it.
Best is to erase the whole disk with zero one pass then reinstall.

  • Problems archiving old messages at the end of the year?

    At the end of 2007 I'd like to create new mailboxes for messages sent and received in the year, date them, and move the messages across into them; leaving the Inbox and Sent box empty and ready to handle messages for 2008. Is this a reasonably straightforward thing to do? Are there potential pitfalls I should be aware of?

    Yes, it’s reasonable and straightforward, and is also what I do, except I don’t wait till the end of the year to archive my messages. Instead, I create a (white) folder for each year, including the current one, and organize my mail by topic into (blue) sub-mailboxes there as I read them. My Inbox only contains messages (if any) that are waiting for me to do something with them.
    Are there potential pitfalls I should be aware of?
    The main pitfall you should be aware of would be not doing that and leaving all your mail in the account mailboxes indefinitely. Using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes (which a lot of people do) is a bad idea.
    Another thing to be aware of is that you shouldn’t use the same folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders. Mail allows that duality, but doesn’t handle it very well, and it’s better to not try to “take advantage” of it.

  • How to switch between messages in the BlackBerry Hub

    With the release of BlackBerry 10 version 10.1, we’ve added a new gesture to the BlackBerry Hub that allows you to quickly switch between your next and previous messages. It’s simple: while viewing a message drag your finger from the left to the right and in one continuous motion swipe up or down.
    For example, in the following screenshot you’ll notice I am viewing ‘Test 08”. To get to the next message, “Test 09”, all I need to do is swipe from left to right (red arrow) followed by swiping up (green arrow) in a single motion. To switch to the previous message, “Test 07”, I complete the same gesture, but swipe down instead (blue arrow).
    Tip: Using a BlackBerry Q10 or Q5? On top of using this gesture to switch between messages, you also have the option of pressing the N key to view your next message, or the P key to view a previous message.
    If this gesture doesn’t appear to be working on your device, verify you are using BlackBerry 10.1.0.4181 or later by going to Settings > About and reviewing the OS Version field. If the OS Version is lower than 10.1.0.4181, check for updates by going to Settings > Software Updates.
    For more details about the availability of BlackBerry 10.1, check out Inside BlackBerry’s post on BlackBerry 10 Software Updates.

    I would set up a variable before you get to that node, lets call it $EmpID and assign to it the value of the prompt you want to play lets say 12345 which would be the library promptID. It will then play prompt, get digits, and once you validate if it goes through the expression that flags it as invalid, in that node re-declare the variable, but this time give it the value of the new prompt you want to play, then sent it back to the node which will then play the new prompt and collect the digits.

  • Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.

    Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop.

    I did change my apple ID password though...

  • Configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail

    Is there a way to configure Mavericks Mail app like the iOS Mail so that mail messages are not automatically downloaded, and they will only download when you click on the titles on the list of messages on the left?

    Hello yonole,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The steps below will disable the automatic checking of new email for your email account:  Please note that even though the article title is for Mountain Lion, the same applies to Mavericks.
    You can set Mail so that it doesn’t automatically retrieve messages from an account—for example, if you have an account you use only occasionally or you don’t want to check a personal account while you’re at work.
    Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Select an account, and then click Advanced.
    Deselect the “Include when automatically checking for new messages” checkbox.
    When you exclude an account from automatic checking, you must manually check the account for new messages. To do so, click the Get Mail icon in the Mail toolbar.
    Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) accounts are automatically synced with the mail server (and so automatically check for new messages). To keep an IMAP account from being synced, take it offline.

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • HT201250 how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.

    how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
    I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup"  It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
    I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

    Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
    The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
    Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    Boot from the external hard drive.
    Erase the internal hard drive.
    Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

    FOr some reason I am in the US App Store, how do I change back to the Australian App Store on my iPad as I can't make purchases? It keeps telling me my account is not with the US store and to change to the Australian store.

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.
