Mac Mail deleting mail older than 1 month old

Mac Mail is deleting mail, from my Inbox, after 1 month old. I can't find the settings for deletion or archiving. I have not selected archiving either. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Steve:
I think you misunderstood my post. I was not talking about the delete trash setting in Apple's Mail application. Many (most?) E-mail providers have settings in their applications to automatically delete mail. This has nothing to do with Apple's mail application. I know nothing about Mobile Me or Mac mail, but what I was suggesting was that those might have a setting someplace.
Apple's mail application did not, on its own, to delete mail. There is no setting in that application that I am aware of that would cause that to happen.

  • Mail deleting inbox older then month

    Hi,
    i've got a mbk with lion os x, and im using the mail app to sync with my email account via IMAP.
    the mail just deleting masseges from the app and on the server, and not touching the sent masseges ...
    please any help!!
    thanks

    My only suggestion is to STOP using the built in Mac Mail program and switch to something that actually works.
    There are numerous posts everyday about problems with the Apple Mac Mail program. IMHO it is one terrible piece of software. But then I only used it for a short time then switched first to Outlook, which I didn't really care for, then to Thunderbird which I use on both Mac and Win PC and am very happy with.
    Good Luck.

  • HT3275 I've 1.85TB empty space on my time Machine, but it only backs up to the beginning of the previous month. it should have weekly back-ups for every month before that. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?

    I've 1.85TB empty space on my Time Machine, but it only retains back-ups to the beginning of the previous month. I should be able to access weekly back-ups for every month before that until the disk is full. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?
    Thanks, Rigby.

    If you are using Ethernet to connect your Mac to the Time Capsule, are you allowing at least 2-3 minutes for Time Machine to fully load when you open the application to see your backups?
    If you are using wireless to connect, you may need to allow 8-10 minutes or longer for everything to fully load, depending on the speed of your wireless connection.
    If you see only white time "bars" on the timeline at the right of the screen, you are seeing temporary backups. Permanent backups are displayed with purple "bars".

  • The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

    opps.  Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those.  Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads.  Problem still contintues.  Any suggestions?

    Folks,
    even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
    In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
    When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
    What else can be done to correct this problem?
    Thanks and best regards.

  • Delete messages older than a date except personal folder

    Hello everyone,
    I have been spending a lot of time searching and testing how to delete all items older than 6 months in a user mailbox, but this rule it cannot be applied just one personal folder named "personal". I have been reading about retention policy and
    retention policy tags, but I can't figure out how to use that to keep all items older than 6 month in personal folder.
    could anyone tell me if I am right with retention policy or it's better other way?
    thank you in advice

    Hi,
    In Outlook client, we can set AutoArchive for all folders to delete all items older than 6 months except for “Personal” folder one by one.
    If you want to use retention policy in Exchange side, we can use retention tags and retention policies to have a try. there are three types of retention tags:
    Default policy tag (DPT), Retention policy tag (RPT), Personal tag.
    For your scenario, we can create a personal tag applied for this Personal folder. For example,
    delete messages older than 3 years for this personal folder. Then apply this personal tag for Personal folder in Outlook. And the Personal folder items are all tagged. After that, we can
    applying default policy tags (DPTs) to mailboxes to manage the retention of all untagged items.
    Personal suggestion, since the delete action is only used for one specific mailbox, I suggest we can use AutoArchive in Outlook side to achieve it.

    Hi Winnie Liang,
    Thank you for answer. I would like to do all tasks from exchange side, so I know how to apply a retention policy to a mailbox for deleting all older than 6 months. But how can I apply the personal policy tag to a personal folder's users?
    All involved users in this requirement are warned that they must let all personal messages in "personal" folder named "personal".
    regards

  • How to delete data older than three years from DSO

    Hi  all,
    We needs to keep historical data in the DSO only for three years. One way of doing this is by selective deletion we can delete data older than three years but we want to make it authomated. Is it possible to add a process or ABAP program to delete data older than three years.
    If it is p[ossible by ABAP code then can you please give me sample code.
    Many Thanks in advance.
    Harman

    Some time for in case of huge volume of data selective deletion is not works, Try for "prunning" option.
    It's work as follows
    1)     Create DSO which is same replica of your Source DSO.
    2)     Create two transformation
         a) from Source DSO to Copy DSO
         b) Another is from Copy DSO to Source DSO
    3)     Transprort Last 3 years records to Copy of Source DSO using DTP Filter range for time.
    4)     Once data loading from Source DSO to Copy DSO get completed delete all data from Source DSO.
    5)     Now load data from Copy DSO to Source DSO.
    6)     After complete loading delete entire data from Source DSO.
    I use prunning process to one of my client and it's work perfectly.

  • How do I set Mail to only download one-month old emails?

    Hello there
    I have been a Mac user since 2008 but I have never actually used the default Mail client. I always used third-party applications but since most applications on Yosemite perform really well, I decided to give Mail a shot. The only problem I am facing right now is finding a setting to have Mail only download one-month old emails rather than the whole inbox? I have three accounts (Two on GMAIL and one on Hotmail) and of course they contain thousands and thousands of emails and it will take a very, very long time to download all of them since my internet is pretty slow (2MB), so I was wondering if that option is available? It'd be fantastic. It's available on Android and iOS AFAIK so I assumed maybe it's an option on Mac too?
    Thank you for your time.
    Regards,

    If you have gmail (Google Mail), one idea is to "label" all the mail you want to in the gmail web interface and then just download mail with a certain label. Take a look at the article at http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/download-copy-of-your-gmail-and-google.htm l
    Does that help?

  • Deleting backups older than a month

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to delete backups that are older than a month. I've performed the following steps.
    1. Click on time machine
    2. Navigate to a month ago
    3. Navigate to "Macintosh HD" and select all items
    4. Click on the gears the "Delete all backups .."
    This delete all backups, even my current ones. How can I delete just "old" versions from a snapshot in time (say x) back to the beginning of backups and keep everything with time > x?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    +That won't screw up the database will it?+
    Probably. Time Machine uses hard links to keep track of its previously backed up files. You can read how Time Machine uses hard links in this Ars Technica review.
    http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
    To make sure you keep the hard links intact launch the Time Machine browser from the dock. Click on your hard drive in the sidebar. Don't select any folders or files in the window. Use the white ladder lines on the right to navigate to the backup you wish to delete. Click on the button with the gear and select Delete Backup.

  • Mail lists messages older than Yesterday with 27 March 09

    My mail is received under the heading Date Received: as Today, Yesterday and 27 March 09. If I open the message with 27 March 09 the correct date and time is displayed in the message header. the time received is correct on all messages.
    All messages in my various folders older than two days are dated 27 March 09. Any ideas.

    With respect to having Mail store your Sent messages you must choose whether they are to be stored on the server (if .mac or IMAP account), and for how long to store them.
    Before making this change, you should have created an On My Mac mailbox (this would be separate from the one for the account) and transferred the older messages to that mailbox.
    However, in this case, since Spotlight finds some messages, you should look with the Finder in Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and see if there is an xxxx.mbox folder that was storing the Sent messages previously. If so, rename it, and it should show up in the Sidebar to the Mail window -- this might require reindexing via the Rebuild command.
    More info after making this examination, and before renaming of making any other changes.

  • Delete emails older than 3 months sent to a distribution group

    Hi,
    Have a strange request hopefully someone can help me with.
    We have Exchange 2010 on site. There are a large number of casual staff who are only at work for a few months of the years, then are away for a long period. These staff are still receiving all of the Everybody emails that are sent out, causing their mailboxes
    to fill up and stop receiving emails.
    I have tried the usual searches and have found solutions for deleting email with specific titles and for specific dates; but I cannot find any information on being able to delete based on the 'To' field of an email.
    My query is -
    Is there a way to delete emails from all mailboxes in an organisation that have been sent to a specific distribution group that are over three months old?
    All help is always gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Peter D.

    Hi,
    I have found a solution to this issue.
    Am posting it for when i need it later, or if it helps anyone else.
    Using Powershell, i use the following code to be able to search using the To field, which in this case is the name of the distribution group.
    #Add Exchange 2010 snapin if not already loaded
    if (!(Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"}))
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    get-Mailbox | search-mailbox -searchquery to:"DistributionGroup" -DeleteContent
    Now just to add the date variable...

  • Delete entries over 1 month old in parent  and child tables

    Hi guys,
    Im new to oracle (2days old) and im struggling to find out how to delete all entries over 1 month old in a database but also delete entries from the child table. I have read about delete cascading etc but im really strugging at the moment. Any tip or ideas? thank you

    You just need to delete data in parent table using the right WHERE clause that requires some timestamp column that stores data age. If the foreign key constraint is created with ON DELETE CASCADE child rows are automatically deleted.
    Assuming P is the parent table and C the child table and the timestamp column is stored in the parent table here is an example.
    SQL> create table p(px int primary key, d date);
    Table created.
    SQL> create table  c(cx int, cy int references p on delete cascade);
    Table created.
    SQL>
    SQL> insert into p values(1, '01/01/2011');
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into p values(2, '15/01/2011');
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into p values(3, '31/01/2011');
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into c values(10,1);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into c values(20,2);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into c values(30,3);
    1 row created.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL>
    SQL> delete p where months_between(sysdate, d) >= 1;
    2 rows deleted.
    SQL>
    SQL> select * from p;
            PX D
             3 31-01-2011
    SQL> select * from c;
