Mail storage space limit
I'm using Macbook Air OS X 10.7.4, I've a question regarding Mail application. Is there an option by which Mail stores the latest 50-100 emails and delete the rest from the MacBook but not from the main server? So if I login through like gmail.com, I find all my emails there. Or if I can manually do that?
If I will manually delete my email from the Mail, it is also deleted on the main server, any way I could delete it from mail and still find it on main site?
When you say you are unable to erase emails to free up space, do you mean you need to keep all the email you have, or that you try to delete email and run into some problem?
If you need all your emails and room for more, you can buy more iCloud space if you are not at the maximum. If you are already at the maximum size account, I can only say "Wow, you have a lot of email!" and suggest you look into moving some messages to another mail system.
If you run into some problem when you try to delete email, let us know what sort of a problem you are having.

Reducing Mail Storage Space on Mac OS X Server
Hi,
We have a very large mail database on Mac OS X Server as we store a lot of images etc. in our email.
I have been trying to delete older messages, and deleting them off the server but this seems to have little net effect in terms of opening up more free disk space on the server.
I have deleted older emails on each client version of mail and after also chose the Erase Deleted items option to make sure that the messages are being deleted off the server
In addition I noticed also that /var/spool and /var/spool/imap continue to remain at close to 150GB each?
I tried to look up online as to what these directories hold and am wondering if there is something I need to do (after deleting messages) to help compact the mail database and perhaps thereby reduce the amount of files in /var/spool & var/spool/imap
Does anyone have any suggestions or help in this matter - would be most appreciated.
Thanks - RohinI tried to look up online as to what these directories hold and am wondering if there is something I need to do (after deleting messages) to help compact the mail database and perhaps thereby reduce the amount of files in /var/spool & var/spool/imap
The mail content is stored in /var/spool/imap/user/ and I'm surprised that you're seeing content sizes for those folders (unless perhaps you're logged in as root) since they are owned by cyrus and not otherwise accessible. Mine only shows about 320MB (the size of the database) for the /spool/imap/ folder when I know that the actual contents are weighing in at around 10GB..
There are maintenance tools in Server Admin that will let you reconstruct individual mail accounts as well as repair the mail service database. Best done by stopping the mail service and performing the maintenance.

I tried updating to iOS6 via itunes bc my storage space was pass limit and now my phone is telling me it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I didn't back it up. How do I take it out of recovery mode and keep the information on my phone?
You cannot. If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating? -
Storage space for sub mail accounts
Does anyone know how I can allocate more storage space for my additional mail accounts? I ran out of space and purchased another 2gb of storage on my .mac account. However, none of this space is allocated to my additional mail accounts i.e. all of it goes into my main mail account (where I dont need it...). Any advice?
This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Yours appears to be a .Mac issue that has absolutely nothing to do with Mac OS X’s Mail. The right forum for such questions would be one of the .Mac Forums, such as .Mac General, for example.

N9: MfE Hotmail: Mail Storage Full Free some space...
Hi Friends,
Does anyone having the error " Mail Storage Full free up some space first"...? I have this issue with N9. I just deleted the account and added it again and Hotmail working under mmailsettings.. but no contacts.
I have so many issues with Hotmail & contacts that I am going to abandon my N9 once Lumia 920 released (of course I will remain Nokia Fan)...
I just wanted to know:
1. Once my MfE stops, my whole contact list disappear? Extremely annoying and I don't know to add contacts again.
2. I don't care about mail, I just need my contacts back.. does anyone knows how to keep the contacts in the phone once imported? and they remain in the phone for life?
Please help.. I usually don't attend phone from unknown contacts and now all my friends are unknown as the phone numbers are not associated with their names.
Thank you.you can go into the setting of the exchange account and make it NOT sync the contaacts after you have them on your phone.

How do I manage (i.e., limit) storage space for Messages?
How can the amount of storage space for Messages be limited and/or managed? Messages are currently taking up nearly 600MB of my iPhone and iPad devices storage space. Deleting old message threads does not appear to reduce it. And I don't consider myself to use messages excessively.

IMAP vs POP mail storage on iPad
An advantage of IMAP is said to be that it doesn't take up an ever growing amount of local storage space. But I get the impression that POP behaves the much same way on the iPad, in that the IOS Mail app keeps only so many pieces of email locally. If so, am I right in thinking that deleting mail in either IMAP or POP makes no practical difference to the amount of storage used? I.e if you have Mail set to display, say, 100 pieces of mail, that's how much mail gets stored locally on the iPad using either POP or IMAP?
Thanks Bob for your reply.
I'm well aware that IMAP has syncing advantages. My question was strictly about storage but perhaps I wasn't clear.
Am I right in thinking that — either with IMAP or POP — I need not worry about excess storage of mail on an iPad because the iPad self-limits to, say, 100 pieces of mail or whatever you set the limit at?

Summary: The Storage Spaces UI has several problems when there are more than 21 physical disks available to Storage Spaces.
I have 28 SATA disks connected over 6 controllers. 2 are used for an Intel motherboard RAID1 for OS (PhysicalDisk0), so that leaves 26 data disks for Storage Spaces. [The plan is to get to 36 data disks in due course by adding disks (this 36-bay chassis: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847A-R1400LP.cfm)]
Initially, there were 23 data disks (5x 1TB, 1x 640GB, 14x 500GB, 3x 250GB) as PhysicalDisk1-23 (in that order), which I put into a storage pool. I created a parity disk over all 23 disks. It looks like it is working fine, albeit very slowly on writes.
I've now added 3 more 4TB disks, as PhysicalDisk24-26, and taken them offline, and have now noticed errors in the Storage Pools UI in the Server Manager. For example:
* No more than 21 disks ever show up in the "Physical Disks" area in the lower right. When the 23 disks are connected, only the first 21 show up in the pool I created. With 26 disks connected, only the first 20 show up in the pool, and only 1 more of the
new 3 (PhysicalDisk26) shows up in the Primordial group.
* In the Properties of the parity Virtual Disk created over the 23 disks, the disks are shown incorrectly. Again, only 21 disks are shown, and PhysicalDisk26 is incorrectly shown as part of the virtual disk. See image:
* Using the New Storage Pool Wizard, I cannot add more than 1 of the new 3 disks to a new Storage Pool (only PhysicalDisk26 is available). And the details incorrectly refer to PhysicalDisk21. See image (a WDC WD2500JD-22H is a 250GB disk, not a 4TB disk).
Thus I cannot use the new disks in a new storage pool.
According the blog post at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01/05/virtualizing-storage-for-scale-resiliency-and-efficiency.aspx:
Q) What is the minimum number of disks I can use to create a pool? What is the maximum?
You can create a pool with only one disk. However, such a pool cannot contain any resilient spaces (i.e. mirrored or parity spaces). It can only contain a simple space which does not provide resiliency to failures. We do test pools comprising multiple hundreds
of disks – such as you might see in a datacenter. There is no architectural limit to the number of disks comprising a pool.
However, the UI currently does not seem to correctly work with more than 21 physical disks. Please advise.
Using Server 2012 RC.
Hardware: Supermicro X8SAX (BIOS v2.0), Intel i7-920 2.67GHz, 6x 2GB DDR3-1333 (certified Crucial CT25664BA1339.16SFD)
Disk controllers: 2x RAIDCore BC4852 (PCI-X, final 3.3.1 driver) (15 ports used), 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 (PCIe, 4.0.0.1200 Marvell driver to allow >2TB disks) (6 ports used), Sil 3114 (PCI, latest 1.5.20.3 driver) (1 port used), motherboard Intel
in RAID mode (4 ports used for data, plus 2 for OS RAID1).An update. I added 16x SATA disks across 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8. All 16 disks report the same UniqueID.
I have 25 disks in the pool now (23 as parity; 2 as journal added via PowerShell). 10 of these are on the two AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers. Only the first 16 disks show up in the UI, so 9 are missing from the UI - which is consistent with this UI bug where
only one disk per UniqueID shows up. PowerShell does work to manage the SS.

TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?
on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?
Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated. -

Not enough temporary storage space on disk
I'm new to Access. I've imported some tables from a co-worker, who cannot help troubleshoot this issue.
When I run a query, I get the error "Query cannot be completed. Either the size of the query result is larger than the maximum size of the database or there is not enough temporary storage space on the disk to store the completed result."
I've compacted the database.
I've searched online about how to increase the storage space on the disk.
Unsure what to do nextHi,
Which Access version do you use? The issue might be related to some reasons.
1. Access database has its max size (2GB). While running a query it often needs temporary storage. It means that the normal size plus the temp size hits the 2GB file size limit of Access.
2. Caused by the query, any non-trivial query or operation can use a larger amount of temporary space.
3. Caused by the database, the column name in database is not the same of the output in the transformation.
Thus, we may try:
1. Using SQL Server 2008 Express as back-end database
2. Splitting your database into front-end and back-end - due to the size eventually multiple back-end files- and using linked tables.
