I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail.  Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account.  I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger.  However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

  • I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

    I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

  • I forgot my iPad mini pass code and i don't want to lose all of the data, what should I do?

    I was camping and my brother kept getting into my ipad mini so I deceided to change the passcode. I cant remember the passcode one bit. I dont think that i have ever synced it with a computer. I also dont want to erase any data because i have a lot of apps and songs that costed a lot that i dont want to lose and they arent hooked up with a computer. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Thanks!

    If you have never synced with a computer, you have no choice but to erase it and set it up as new.
    Apps can be re-downloaded for free and, in most countries, music can be re-downloaded for free also.

  • HT1386 I don't want to lose all of the music on my iPod when I sync with my Mac (work done on my Mac lead to the itunes library playlists being deleted. I have re-created them, but some of the music on my iPod isn't in my music library. How can I keep bot

    Hello. I hope someone can help. I have an iPod Touch 8G that I am trying to keep the music playlists from, adding them to what is on my Mac. I had work done on my Mac, and as a result, the original playlists in iTunes were deleted. I have recreated them using the Music Library, a long arduous process of thousands of songs! I would really like to have both, so I could manually combine playlists. How do I do this, not losing either set of playlists?
    I enabled Home Sharing and iCloud.
    Many thanks!

  • If I restart my mac without finalizing a project, will I lose all of the editing I've done after start up? (iMovie'11)

    iMovie'11
    I've come to a road block here, after so much editing, I've suddenly lost music and sound within iMove. Not sure what happened. All the other finalized projects are also not making any sound (within iMove). With this current project, it is not finalized, but I cannot edit anymore because I can't hear anything. YouTube is giving me sound, and other websites as well. Just wondering if I can restart my mac without finalizing this project and see if I get sound back with iMove. I just don't want to lose all of the work I've done. Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    You can purge the swap files etc. from the Edit menu. Try that. Otherwise there is simply no way to salvage the situation once PS runs out of memory, virtual and real one...

  • How do I keep my emails in Apple mail after they have been downloaded from exchange server

    Hi
    I have an urgent issue with my work email. I have used Apple Mail to read and store my work email right off my work Exchange server - without any problem.
    All was fine, and for what seems a very long time, I happily used both my win 7 laptop at work and my 2 Apple computers at home and during travel as well as my iPhone - anywhere.
    However, now, there is a new policy at work where all email older than 3 months (sigh!!) has been removed to an "online archive" of the "emc SourceOne" - which is a non-crossplattform service - and not accessible from other than a windows PC with supported browser (not including SafarI). (Windows revenge) I have lost all access to these on my iPhone, which is a shame - not Apples fault, though. This is  not about blaming Apple.
    However, I still have all my "older than 3 months" email in theory safely kept on both of my Apple computers - presumably safely stored in Apple Mail.
    Here is my question: I have not dared to connect either of these imacs / mbas to Internet - at all - in fear of losing my precoius work emails. I have feared that the exchange server will kill all these "older than 3 months" email kept there - as soon as it gets a chance to do so.
    So I urgently need an educated advise. Googling any kind of "apple" questions seems to be far less productive now than a few years ago...
    1. Can I safely connect Apple Mail to internet without losing my already downloaded exchange emails?
    2. If not - how should I proeceed to get these files safely transferred to my iCloud email?
    Any and all help will be deeply appreciated!
    Best regards, from a chilly evening in Oslo, Norway

    When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
    To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
    You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
    To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
    You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
    In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

    If the ipod is still under warranty and Apple determines it to be defective then they will replace.

  • Apple Mail will not load

    My Apple Mail will appear to open, but will not allow me access or to perform any actions, like to read the messages, or open them, or send mail.  This has been going on for at least a month; sometimes repairing disc permissions seems to correct it, sometimes it just has suddenly worked, but tonight it will not let me at my mail at all even though I can see my Mail window.  I've repaired permissions, restarted, etc., but to no avail.  When this problem has gone away briefly, every action taken in mail gives the spinning ball and takes forever, but sometimes works and I have my mail back.  If I shut down my computer and restart it the problem reappears.  Anyone else have this problem in Apple Mail?

    I am not sure how to link these discussions, so below I am pasting the post that helped me. And here is the link:

    This is not a problem specific to Lion, but most recent OS X versions. Regularly I receive email formatted as HTML, which includes JPEG images embedded within them. These images are technically attachments, and as such, Mail.app displays them as a placeholder. Other mail apps will display these images inline, regardless of them being an attachment, remote image or otherwise.
    How can I make these images load automatically?

    This solved my question by louse101  on Jul 26, 2011 3:47 AM 
    No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
    This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

  • Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

    I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.  These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints.  Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users.  I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins.   Any help is appreciated.

    Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

    Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
    You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
    When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
    In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
    Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.    You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
    At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

  • Apple mail will not open any windows for me.

    I have a mid 2009 mac book pro. I upgraded to Mavericks and now my apple mail will not display any screens (windows). When I open it, it will bounce once in the dock then show the nav bar at the top, however most everything like send new mail is grey. I have tried loading upgrades but they won't load to my HD for some reason or another and am at a loss.

    Try holding down the shift key when opening Mail.

  • "Unable to send mail" using Verizon email account

    No matter what I try, my Incredible will not send an email using my Verizon email account. I receive emails but cannot send. I've verified the account settings numerous times and the verifications always work. But I still get the "Unable to send mail" message. Initially I thought it was the port but I've tried both 25 and 587. Neither work. I know I've sent messages before but it's been a while. Anyone have any ideas?

    I tried SSL with 25 and 587 (Verizon recommendation). Still no go.
    BTW, there isn't any way to save the Mail size limit and Download options is there. Every time I go thru this I have to go back and set these up again.
    Thanks again for your help.

    If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.
