Mail trash auto delete longer than one month

Is there a way to set up Mail to delete my trash after two months instead of one? A terminal command or edit a preference file or something?

Quit Mail. Locate its preference file com.apple.mail.plist in ~/Library/Preferences and double-click to open it (for me it opens with Property List Editor). Expand by clicking the disclosure triangle beside Root and scroll down to find MailAccounts and expand it - there will be one child for each of your accounts. In each of them that you want to change, expand to find the NumberofDaystoKeepJunk entry and change it to whatever you fancy. Save the plist file.
I would strongly recommend making a copy of the plist file before trying this, and can't guarantee that it will work - but I think it will. Note that the entry in Mail's Preferences/Accounts window will change to "Never" - but in Terminal defaults read com.apple.mail shows the changed value.

  • How can I see more than one month history in safari?

    I need to see the safari history longer than one month. Can I change that?

    For previous history entries, no, unless they're stored in a backup.
    For future entries, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on General, and increase the time before they're removed.

  • Mail sent older than one month and half deleted

    Hello,
    all the message older than one month and a half I have sent have have been deleted or are not displayed either on my MacBook Air with the e-mail application or with Safari connecting me directly with my account on ICloud web site.
    By side, the message I have put in archive folder or that are in my inbox are still there even if they are older than one month and a half.
    Do you have any idea to solve this issue ?
    Thank you very much.

    Check your sent folder settings at mail > preferences > accounts > iCloud > mailbox behaviours.

    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.

  • I am using iPhoto 11 mail and cannot add more than one recipient in the 'to' line.  When I put a comma in, the recipient's address is deleted.  If I use ' ' with more than one recipient the save grays out.  Any thoughts?

    I figured it out.  I needed to fix some errors in my account information.  It works fine now.

  • How to delete more than one photo at a time

    Apparently there is no longer an iPhoto trash. So you don't drag photos to the trash. Instead you hit the delete key and then a second click on delete when you get the message "Are you sure you want to delete this photo." Has anyone found a way to delete more than one photo at a time, though? This is really a hassle if you have just imported 500 photos and are going to end up deleting 450 of them.

    I didn't say use the command key and delete. I use the command key for selecting random photos. Then I right click and choose delete from the contextual menu.
    I always use right click, but the command-delete does work also in that album.
    Depending on what album you are in, there are different menus. In a user created album, the right click would show "Remove from Album" & "Delete Photo". I noticed that was the same for Last Import Album. But at the same time, under image, you will only have Remove from Album. If it is a system album, you will only get the delete menu from either the right click or from the menu under Image.
    What you have to remember is if it days delete the photo, it will completely delete it from the library and all albums. If the menu says Remove From Album, then it will only be removed from the album you are in.
    In PhotoStream Album, you get only Delete Photo from the right click menu, but under image, you get only remove from album. So if you want to remove an image from PhotoStream, you have to use the top menu so it won't get deleted from the library. If you want to remove a photo completely, you would use delete and it will be removed from the library and photo stream.
    So, there are different processes for the different albums. I don't know if that is intentional or just oversight. That may change in the future.

    How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    With your Mail app open and the listing of the messages, tap Edit at the top right.  Then check each circle on the left side of the messages to delete.  When you have checked those to delete, tap Trash at the lower right.
    Next tap Mailboxes upper left, under accounts select the account, then for the account tap Trash.  Select Edit upper right, and at the bottom, Delete All, and confirm Delete All and all will be removed at one time.

  • How to delete more than one workbook from command line

    Hi, I'd like to delete more than one workbook from command line:
    The following syntax, it doesn't work....but I followed the manual instructions:
    dis51adm.exe /connect eul/eul@uatdb /delete /workbook "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2" /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
    where:
    eul/eul@uatdb: is the db’s schema/user where the EUL is installed;
    /delete "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2": is the command to delete the workbooks, specified inside the “” (with the relative path)
    /log D:\Ale\delete.log: is the command to write a log’s file named “delete.log” to track the action     
    The log file says:
    22/4/2008 4:00:26 μμ
    dis51adm.exe /connect /delete /workbook ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
    Document ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 not found in EUL.
    Internal EUL Error: ObjectNotFound - Can't find EUL element
    There are 0 eul elements to be deleted.
    Completed deleting eul elements.
    22/4/2008 4:00:29 μμ
    Anyone can tell me how is the right syntax ?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    Hi Rod
    I was coming to that conclusion myself but wanted to wait until the other avenues had been exhausted first - aka making sure of the workbook names.
    I checked through all of the command line documentation and read nothing which clearly indicated that only one workbook could be processed at a time, other than the fact that the syntax says workbook and not workbooks, which could be a big clue.
    I think you are right though in that it has to be one at a time, which would be a pain.
    Best wishes
    Michael
