Mail backup without attachments

Hi
Without removing attachments from my primary mail folders, does anyone know a way of making a backup of my mail that would not include attachments?
My aim is to make a relatively concise backup of the contents of my mail that I can store online without taking up all my capacity.
Grateful for any advice!!
Thanks!

Apple's "Mail" app does not offer that flexibility at this point.

Deal with mails with / without attachments

My codes actually can save the image attachment of emails from email server. But, one problem I have is the codes don't work for mails with no attachment. How can solve this? I have added the structure of how I coded it. I am not sure if I can modify the 2nd part of the codes such that mails without attachment can work too. Pls advise. thank.
My code pattern is like this:
1st part : Connection.
2nd part:
if (contentType.startswith("image/")){
//get the image and save to folder and insert path to image table of database
if (contentType.startswith("text/plain")){
// insert image id and text to another table of database
3rd part: Delete email.

I don' have the demo folder currently. Any sample code that can be posted here?
I tried
if(disposition == null){
//do this for emails with no attachment
else if (disp.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT)){
//do this with attachments
else{
out.println("invalid");
But it still can't work. The (disp == null) seems to pass in all values for both emails with attachments or no attachments....Why??

How to create an identical local copy of a mail without attachments?

Hi,
I would like to save a copy of an IMAP-Message to my db without the attachments.
As I cannot modify the original message, I tried to create a new MimeMessage with the constructor MimeMessage(MimeMessage source) and then remove the attachments - this works fine so far, but using this constructor only the body seems to get copied without subject, recipients or from-address.
Can anybody give me a hint how to create an identical local copy of a Message-Object? I would rather like to do this without installing any local third party providers.
Regards
Karsten

Sorry, found the problem - I did some things with the InputStream before I should not have - now the message gets saved without attachments and can be reopened.

Import mail without attachments

Hi, at last I got myself an iPhone!
Is there a setting somewhere to receive emails without attachments?
This is mainly to cut down on data traffic when on the road.
Thanks.

Can anybody help with problems with Mail & Backup, please?

Hi, yesterday, for some reason, a problem developed with Mail.
Without me changing anything, while it will send and receive e-mails through my Apple account, it has stopped downloading emails from my BT account, which previously worked fine.
It keeps trying to log on to collect them (the rotating gear wheel beside the account operates) but nothing downloads. It is not the BT account which is at fault, since my iPhone, which is synched to the computer, downloads them fine.
Also, while I had been regularly getting advice from Backup that my storage disk was full and it was deleting an old backup, today Backup has told me that the disc is full and the backup has failed.
I cannot see anything in Settings which could obviously account for these changes.
i am a pretty new Apple user (a conversion I cannot claim has been a great success so far, and I would be grateful for any help you can provide.
Many thanks,
Neil

Export the folders/mailboxes and put them in the other users Public folder or go to the hard drive level user and put them in the Shared folder. You may have to reset permissions using Get Info (command - I). The other user can them import them.

How to make a backup without password

I have tried to create new backups, but every time as they are with a lock on. have deleted itunes on pc n without help. bought a new computer without help. my problem is that I have two girls who have switched phones, the mobile phone that owned the first desired content into the new. Now that it has acquired the old iphone ready and ruin the iphone and I wish to make a backup of it on the new iphone her but each time the backup is locked with a code. there is none of them have made some code!!!!!! only code code they have had is a code to open the phone. we have gone in between all the codes they have used but there is no acting. I've talked with apple suport on several occasions and they say that it is only making a backup without code.
So my question is how the **** do I do it?

You will have to delete ALL of your existing backups. Under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows), Devices, delet any and all backups that are listed. Connect your 3GS, right click in the device pane & select backup. You should be able to restore that backup to your iphone 4.

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.

Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

How do I prevent Mac Mail from dropping attachments?

My OS X 10.7.3 Mail is dropping attachments. Any idea how to fix this? Every time I need to send an email with an attachment, I have to use webmail, and this is getting old fast. Thanks.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

I backed up my iphone to iCloud and sold my iphone how can I get my pictures from the backup without another iphone ?

Hi there I backed up my iPhone 4s to iCloud then sold my phone
if I go on my ipad and go into iCloud-manage storage the back up is there
But how do I get all the pictures from my iphone backup without another iphone ore using the ipad
I need the pictures on my PC/windows phone

1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

It is better to have the TC as part of the main network in bridge. You do not need to run wireless.
If you want to use the TC plugged in by ethernet and still use wireless for internet, that is possible but the setup is rather more complicated.. the computer must not get confused about which device to use as a gateway or dns server.
See info in this thread on setting this up.

I need to add.. a USB drive would be cheaper, faster and more reliable. It is really poor use of a TC.

How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

Can I print a Mail message without multiple recipient names?

Is there a way to print a Mail message without having also to print the dozens of recipients, where that's the case? I can't see an obvious way, but I'm sure I used to be able to do this. I'd be grateful if anyone knows how.

HI,
Go here and download this utility. Print Selection 1.1
"You can select text and graphics in any cocoa application (safari, mail.app, etc.), go to the services menu and go to "Print Selection" and the selected stuff will be printed."

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without resetting to factory defaults?

IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without having to reset to factory defaults? I have both iCloud and iTunes backups....

No.
Apple has no support or provision for reverting to a previous iOS version.
Try a reset of your iPad by holding down the power button and hone button simultaneously until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple Logo reappears on screen, then let go of the buttons.
