I just want to save my mail

This really isn't a MacBook Pro question but a general question. I can't seem to find any threads on this subject. I currently have a macbook pro and recently migrated everything to a MacBook Air. My mail did not transfer over which is not a big deal, however, I do want to save my mail to a harddrive or disks before I wipe it. Both machines are using Maverick. Both machines are using mail 7.1. In the old days I would export and burn to CD, but I don't know Maverick. Does anyone have the simple steps to complete this correctly?

What email provider is it? Google, Hotmail, Outlook?

Try this:

Make ff remember a secure website password? (I don't want to change security settings, I just want to save a specific site login info)

The site has https address. I don't want ff to remember secure sites logins, but in this case the security is really unnecessary and annoying. I just want to force ff to remember this website login.

hello, sites can define that the browser shouldn't save passwords in their source-code, see [[Usernames and passwords are not saved]].
you could use an addon like the following to circumvent such restrictions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords

Simply just want to save a file!

Maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it is... but how do you simply just save a document to your mac to be able to email? I'm trying to save my resume to be able to upload it for job applications, and it's not wanting to work for me...

If you're editing the document on icloud.com you have to download it to your Mac and access it there. Are you sure that the company you are sending to accepts the Pages file format?

I just want to save my photos- why is this so fraught with danger?

Many of you must have had this problem: iPhoto is full (I currently have over 2,500 images in there) .. and it is really slow to open and operate. The solution seems to be to empty out contents - copying them to an external HD or onto my iPod being used as an external hard drive. But my Firelite HD has a"Back-up express" feature ... and surely when it comes to read an empty iPhoto, that is what it will transfer to the copy on the Hard Drive? Isn't there a simple and safe way to put my precious photos out of danger, so that I can move on with my life!!??

Hi Stevie,
I have my external partitioned. One partition is where I have Super Duper! sync my User's folder. The other partition is where I manually copy all my dated Photo folders and dated video clip folders, and backup iPhoto libraries.
By the way, with only 2,500 images in your iPhoto library, it should not be that slow. I do think that it is best to have smaller libraries for speed though.
To backup the library just copy the iPhoto Library folder to the external (partition it if necessary) Once it is on a separate partition you can then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message to create or open another library. Navigate to the external and highlight the iPhoto Library folder and click "open". When iPhoto opens the library make sure all is fine.
Now close iPhoto.
Navigate to your Pictures folder and delete the iPhoto Library folder. It would be a good idea to burn the entire folder first so you now have two backups, one on DVD and one on the external.
Now Option launch iPhoto and this time choose to create a new library.
iPhoto will now use this new library to import photos to.

I want to save many of my documents in my Documents file to the iCloud. How do I do it? I used to be able to save them to the idisk.

iDisk, iCloud, MobileMe? I just want to save important documents currently in my MacBook Pro in "DOCUMENTS" (pdf, etc. from any source) to the "cloud" as a backup source and to access from my iPhone. Now that iCloud is loaded, I cant find the documents I used to save to "iDisk". Any help out there?

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts.....

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts. I have several accounts, but on one of them it just doesn't save any mail I send. Is there a hidden setting I've missed somewhere? I did delete the account and then reset it, but it took out all of my emails to that address so I'm loathe to do that again!

I'm lucky enough to have two Macs running OS X 10.9 next to each other, both using the same network, and sharing a common Exchange mail server. My corporate machine (an first gen' Aluminium iMac) has both Outlook and Mail installed. My personal machine (a 13" MacBook Air) has only Mail installed.
Neither install of Mail is guarenteed to write sent messages to the Exchange Sent folder (it might happen, it might not). Both write perfectly to other common mail servers (e.g. GMail). Outlook writes perfectly to the Exchange server, but generally functions less effectively as a mail client than Apple Mail.
The failure to write to the Exchange server only happened after the upgrade.
It's quite frustrating.

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

If you click on the person's name, you go to the public profile they have posted. If there is an email address given you can email directly. If not, you cannot email the person directly.
You could post a reply to the persons reply on the communities to note their help.

How do I remove Apple Mail from my hard drive? Over 10,000 downloaded into my mail and continues to freeze up--- I just want to use my gmail account directly

I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape. I thought it would be better to take it off if I could

Why is it, every time I click send e-mail for instructions on resetting my security questions, I don't get them? I just want to play minecraft. I already put $15 in my balance and I can't even spend it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Either they're being sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something's wrong at Apple's end. If you can't find the email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions, which can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
