No permission to open mail archives

i am not able to view archive files recieved from email,when i open it says no permission

If you're referring to ZIP files, that means they're corrupt or encrypted.

Permission to open archived, .zip files

What Application or utility allows a "user" to open an archived .zip file that they have made themselves. I can open an archived .zip file as the administrator but my user that has limitations cannot open one that they have made so I want to give them the "permission" to open the archived file.
Thank you, Linda

How to open and display and mail archive folder?

We were running Novell and GW for a number of years. Recently, we have migrated to Microsoft and Outlook. We have a number of GW archive folders that I now want to access. I understood that I could retain an installation of GW on my PC and although no longer connected to the server, I should be able to browse and open the archive, to retrieve these emails
Have tried this, but they dont display. When I go to check mailbox size, it is seeing data as the it reads the same file size as the folder of archived email - so I think they are there somewhere!
Any suggestions please??

provide more information. It should work. But only if you installed GW
in remote or caching mode.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

Mail Archive without hosting a Mail Service

Hey all,
I'm working with a University group that just set up a server. We are running DNS, Open Directory, and Web services. We would like to document and archive all e-mails going to and from members of the group using the server, but we do not want to issue new e-mail addresses to our members. Is there an easy way to do this using 10.5.4?
Maybe a mailing list just using everyone's third party e-mail addresses?
Thanks
Pat

Hi,
I have set up a couple of groups doing this with a group mailinglist with and without the archive and forwarding to individual user's email addresses (not hosted on the server). It does require a mail service for _teamsserver to distribute the mail for the group to users. You can setup the mailservice easily following pterobyte's nice tutorial at http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/45/41/ for a basic setup. Ensure to enable server group mailing lists and put the mailservice domain in the local host alias panel of Advanced->Hosting.
Enable group web service->site->Web Services mailist web archive and
in WGM enable group services including mailing list web archive for the group. This puts a mail archive function alongside wiki and blogs for the group.
If you just want to distribute mail without a wiki/blog, only enable Mailing List for the group service in WGM; no archive will be maintained.
For each user assigned to the group in WGM ->Mail -> enable Forward and enter the email address as well as in the Info Panel email address block.
HTH,
Harry

Open mail and every email downloads

every time i open mail on my desktop, every email in my entire system pops ups in a window. it just started doing this one day, random.

You need to create a new Account and enter the correct IMAP settings. Note: Apple enters User name in both receiving and sending as the first part of your email. Most accounts actually like you to enter the full email address. Apple also defaults to ports 25. 465, 587. If you know the default port, select custom and enter port. Most accounts require SSL but not all. Verify your IMAP settings with your provider.
You can select to disable the POP account until you are happy with your new IMAP account.
NOTE: when you delete a POP account in Mail it deletes all the messages in the Inbox. You need to move all the messages in the Inbox to a custom folder under "On My Mac" or select to Archive. Under Message in the Menu bar select Archive. Apple creates an Archive folder and moves the messages into this folder. Each account has it's own archive folder.

Open Applemail archive file in Outlook Windows

I archives my emails a long time ago from Apple Mail in Mac. I stored the file in hard drive and now I nee to access those emails again. But I don't possess that MBP but I do have a windows system in which I have installed Office 2013.
Is there any way that I can open those archives files in Outlook 2013???

Your emails are archived in different (.mbox) file format which windows outlook can't read or import.
You will first need to convert these archives files to a format (.pst) that outlook can read and import.
For email file format conversion there are various coverters available online.
You can gert a flood of solutions if you search in the right place.
Search in Google:- apple mail to outlook conversion
I have found this application the on tope charts searching in google for this query, please have a look and if you feel positive then first check the tools functioning by downloading its trial version. (none of the email converters are free)

I hope this helps you.

Duplicate mailboxes and deleted mail archive

So after installing the latest Mac security update, Security Update 2006-007 PowerPC (no idea if this is related to the problem or not), Mail 2.1 was not able to receive messages from my POP earthlink account, even though I could check it through my browser, so the internet connection was not the problem. Everything looked the same in the Mail preferences, so I decided to run Earthlink Total Access and use it to 'set up Mail for my account' in case anything had changed that I wouldn't know about. It said Mail was already configured for the account and when I relaunched Mail there were now two listings of my same email account - one with all my old messages and one that was 'new' and empty and both now received a new email at the same time. Naturally, I found it displeasing to have two copies of one account showing, so I tried to delete the new copy. I can't remember if I tried to delete this duplicate mailbox through the preferences or by right-clicking on it in the left hand column. Anyway, both boxes are still there and they still work, but all my old messages are gone - except for sent messages. Mail still lists all the subject lines, but instead of the actual contents, clicking on them shows this message:
"The message from ____ <________@________.com> concerning “___” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
I hope there's a backup copy somewhere of these messages. [I already ran FileSalvage and it did not turn up any.] Oh, they don't show up in Spotlight anymore, either. If Mail itself doesn't keep an archive, is there a way to look at recently trashed items on the hard drive and recover them? I suppose I'll need to do this before I write new data to the disk, so please respond quickly. [Maybe I overwrote them when I downloaded FileSalvage....]
OK, so accepting that all the old emails are gone forever, I still have these very important questions about the application:
How do I re-download the emails that are still on the server? I have emails going back to Nov. 9th that I can access through a browser, but I'd like to at least get those onto my HD.
Also, I can't save any changes to either copy of the same account because I get a message that says I already have an account with the same name. I still need to delete that stupid duplicate, but I'm afraid to mess with it until I know for sure that there's no way to get my emails back. Right now one mailbox preference window says it deletes downloaded messages after one week and another says it deletes after one month, but I don't want anything deleted from the server, but I can't change the settings, as noted.
Can I automatically backup my emails to a more secure location or change Mail to not erase things so easily?

The other messages are lost, then. If you don’t have a backup and FileSalvage cannot recover them, you’re left with whatever remains at the server. Unless you want to continue trying to recover deleted *.emlx files, proceed as follows.
For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. Deleting that file causes Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
Before opening Mail again, re-create the preferences file to get rid of the duplicate account settings without also deleting the account folder (ignore step 1, I’m just copying & pasting here):
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem).
4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.

Apple Mail Archive - Best Practices

Dear Fellow Apple Heads:
Does anyone have any best practices to archive mail so that I can backup an mbox file and remove the archived items from current use?

Greetings,
There are two ways to do this, but since I don't really use 10.5.x I can't be sure of one of them. In Mail, there should be an option to Archive Mailbox somewhere, but I just don't know because I don't use it. The other way is just to copy the folder of the mailbox you're looking to archive onto your Desktop or wherever you want to save it.
The drawback is that if you want to open these messages again, you can't do it from Mail; you would have to double-click on each one to open it, and the message name doesn't tell you anything about who it's from or what it's about. There's at least one third-party mail archiving solution on the market, but I don't remember the name offhand.
The best option is to always have a current, bootable backup of your entire drive so you can restore your Mac to the way it was before the hard drive failed or that unexpected power outage causes a bunch of files to get corrupted or just disappear.

Cant open Mail application

When I go to open Mail, it won't open and I get the swirling cursor. Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks

Hi oboeguy,
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these +folder & file+ to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Why cant I open Zip Archive made with Mac?

I made several Zip archives of some of my photographic files, but when I try to open them I get message that I do not have permission or an error occurred. I have tried Apple's Archive Utility, Stuffit Expander and recently The Archiver with no success. Can anyone help me unarchive these as I have lost the originals on an external drive that became corrupted. I only archived the files in case of this happening, but now rely on opening these or loosing hundreds of photographs. There is data there, because only after unzipping the files, which takes a long time, do I get the 'permissions' message with Apple Archive Utility. If I used MediaRecover, or similar, can I get at the files this way? Thanks in anticipation of an answer to a frustrating situation. I have read through the discussions on this topic but can't find an answer? Chris

Mac OS X (and any Unix system) makes use of Disk and file permissions,
if you don't have sufficient rights on one of these, the you won't have permission to open it.
since it works as:
file permissions+disk permissions=actual permission
for example:
no access+read/write=no access
select the archive and press cmd+i (or from the menu use file->get info)
and take a look under "sharing and permissions"
you see a list ordered like this:
<user name> <permissions>
if you want to extract a archive changes are you need permissions to modify it
so make sure the permissions are like this:
<your user name> read and write
if you can extract them, make sure the permissions for the files are at least "read" for your account then you should be able to open them (but you probably want "read and write")

I cannot receive email properly now. When I open mail, it says that is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, it gives me my newest ones. But this takes a long time. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right setting

I cannot receive email properly on either my IPad or my IPhone. I have had them for over a year and they have always worked fine. Until three days ago, when they both started acting up. On the IPad, when I open mail, it says it is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, which takes quite a while to get to, I finally get the most recent ones. The IPad is sending emails just fine.
On my IPhone, when I open mail, it says it is downloading 100 emails, but it doesn't do that. And it gives me no new emails at all. The IPhone is sending email just fine.
I have already deleted the email accounts on both devices and reinstalled them. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right settings. The Outlook email on my desktop is working perfectly.

WMV is a heavily-compressed format/CODEC, and the processing time will depend on several factors:
Your CPU, which is not that powerful in your case
Your I/O sub-system, which is likely a single HDD on your laptop
The source footage. What is your source footage?
Any Effects added to that footage. Do you have any Effects?
Each of those will have an impact on the time required.
The trial has only one main limitation - the watermark. Now, there are some components, that have to be activated, but are not with the trial, but they would be evident with Import of your source footage, if it's an issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

I just updated to 10.9.3. I now cannot open Mail - it comes up with an error window and suggests it may be incompatible with this OS. What is the fix for this? Thanks

When I try to open Mail from the launchbar it won't open and comes up with a window saying it may be incompatible with this version of OS X.
What is the answer to fix this?!

Backup for safety on at least two reliable drives.
Reinstall using the combo update at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
You would be wise to quit all apps, disconnect all peripherals and preferably delete all email accounts before upgrading.
