I need to download all my emails from an html server account and archve them on my PC. How?
I have a paid email account on Spamcop, which will be shut down in a few days. I want to download all my emails, inbox and sent-mail, to my PC and archive them -- before deleting them from the server. I currently have a "mirror" of the server in Thunderbird; but I don't want to lose any of those emails when I clean off the server.
What do I need to do to accomplish this?
PS: I'm a new user who hasn't had a PC-based email client for at least 8 years.
Move all messages to your 'Local Folders' account. You can create folders underneath 'Local Folders' to mirror any folder structure you may have on the server.
To move messages to Local Folders:
Select the messages to be moved on the server.
Right-click the selected messages - choose 'Copy To'
Select 'Local Folders' as destination.
Once the messages have been successfully copied to your disk you can delete them on the server.

I add my comcast email to the mail on a iMac running Maverick. It downloads all my emails from there. How do i get my email to delete of the the server
Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one. How, help?? Phone is a 3GS
So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it. -
my gmail acct was recently comprised. and i was exposed to a phishing/fraud thing and the hacker scared the heck out of me:/ and i am afraid to keep my gmail account that i have had for over ten years now. so i created a new gmail account and i want to move all my emails from old acct to new gmail acct and then delete my old gmail acct. will thunderbird assist me with this? or i may just upload all my old emails from my old gmail to thunderbird and use thunderbird exclusively but can i delete my gmail acct without affecting thrunderbird? gosh i hope this makes sense. haley

Did someone actually gain access to your account or did you just get someone abusing your email address without your knowledge?
There are unscrupulous idiots who abuse other peoples email addresses and send emails using it. This is actually more common than you would like and has happened to me as well. Do not respond to these emails.
Tell you friends you have had someone abusing your email address and I suggest you create a HTML signature file to use in emails that you send. Tell your friends that genuine emails from you will alwways have the signature, so that they can tell the difference.
After a while the abuser gets bored and moves on to their next victim.
Usually, your account has not been hacked; just the email address abused.
To check there is no malware/virus on your computer logging keystrokes or similar, download malwarebytes:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/
then restart your computer in Safe Mode and perform a scan using your Anti-Virus software and the malwarebytes program.
Once you have the all clear, then update your passwords.
Do not post personal information & email addresses in public forums as this is typically where abusers find the info. I notice that phillipp had to edit your question to remove personal info.
It is easier to forward emails from one email address to another via the gmail webmail account.
You do not say what type of mail account you are using.
If Pop then the emails will be downloaded from the server Inbox to Thunderbird Profile account name Inbox. Ususally, the copy is deleted off the server, but settings can be modified to leave a copy on the server.
If IMAP then you see a remote view of emails on the server.
you subscribe to see folders. email headers are downloaded and when you select to see an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temp cache. These emails are not stored in Thunderbird, they are on the server.
If you synchronise those subscribed folders, then a copy is downloaded to your Thunderbird Profile, but these folders are constantly updating to match the server. If you delete any email via Thunderbird or webmail, it will be removed from both as these folders are one and the same.
So if you have IMAP then they are stored on the server then you will only have a copy at best.
If you want to get a copy into Thunderbird and delete everything on the server, you need to synchronise your subscribed folders to get full up to date copies in your Profile folders.
Then go into 'offline' mode to stop further synchronising, then move all emails into 'Local Folders' mail account. Local Folders is a special mail account - emails in this account are not efected by the server. Remember to create folders to keep your emails organised.
Once you are happy that all emails are in Local Folders account, you can delete the mail in the IMAP mail account and then remove the old gmail account if desired.
You can create a second gmail account in Thunderbird regardless of whether you delete the first one or not:
* File > New > Existing mail account
If you put them in Local Folders then you can move/copy emails back onto server after creating new gmail account
OR
simply create the new gmail account and move emails between
Or
Leave the emails in Local Folders to read/store. But these emails will then be only on your computer, so creating a backup would be advisable. -
I write a new email message from my personal gmail account and it automatically sends from my family gmail account. I make sure that it lists my personal email on the from line. It still shows up that its from my family email. Help!
Hello, gypsyro.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would check to make sure the default account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars is set to your personal Gmail account. Test send another message after making the change.

Can anyone help with how I download all of the my purchased content?
The best thing would be to restore from your backups. If you failed to make backups, though, download and install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, if you haven't already, go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the new Purchases link under the Quick Links. The new iTunes in the Cloud service, currently in beta as part of iCloud, may allow you to re-download your purchased content. Music, movies and TV shows are only available to US users at this time.
You can also do this from the iTunes app on your iOS device, if you have iOS 4.3.3. Run the iTunes app and look at the bottom of the screen for the Purchased link.

How can I delete all the email from a user's account?
I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
Thanks!sudo -u _cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ipurge -d 0 -f user/mailboxname

Hi Jimm -
I'm not sure I understand your situation. Do you currently have a creative cloud membership? If you do, are you having problems installing the software? The Adobe Application manager is the program that installs the desktop applications for Creative Cloud Members - is that what you are using?
If you can provide some more details we'll be able ot help you.
Thanks,

How can I delete all the email from a user's account? (Update for 10.6)
When I tried this on OS X Server 10.6:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2317213&tstart=0
I got an error about "configdirectory" option not being specified in configuration file... anyone know what this means and how to fix it?
Thanks!Hi
If I've understood you correctly and if you've used that exact same command It's not surprising it won't work. Perhaps you've forgotten but Cyrus is not part of 10.6 Server. It was replaced with Dovecot. I've not used 10.6 Mail Services yet so I'm not certain but I think deleting the User deletes the mailbox?
Perhaps someone who is can verify?

I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?
Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts. -

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

The Imap account does not need to be moved, sign in on the new machine, your mail will be there.
Does this mean even though these mails had been downloaded to the first Mac, they are still stored online too
Yes, Imap systems store all mail on the server, all connected clients are synchronized to the server (the mail itself stays on the server)
... regarding the POP accounts. Do you simply want the contents are or you planning on continued use of these accounts on the new machine?
Continued use.
Export each mailbox from the old machine to the desktop, to do so select a mailbox, rght click and choose Export, repeat for all others. Move the mailboxes to the new machine'sdesktop.
I suggest setting up the new accounts before importing the mail from the old machine.
In mail choose File>Import Mailboxes, choose the ones on the desktop (one at a time) a new mailbox will appear in Mail called Imported, you can move mail from there back to the correct mailbox in the POP accounts. -
I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??
What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod. -
Hi, i downloaded ios 5 to ipad 2 and when I rebooted, all 2000 emails that i had recieved, read and trashed are downloading again. They are coming through 25 at a time eaach time I check mail. How do I stop this happening?
Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.
