Reading archived email

For years, I have backed up my business and personal email every weekend and archived it on a backup hard drive.
But since I switched to 10.4.9, I no longer can read the archived email. I can only do so by importing it into my mail.
Is there a solution I am missing? This is a huge pain. What used to be a simple way to look back to e-mail from a particular quarter is now a problem. I appreciate any help you can give me.
Power PC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Dual 1.8 Ghz

You’re welcome.
You aren’t making this very clear, but you appear to be talking about having upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and trying to open Mail 1.x mailboxes in Mail 2.x.
The thing is, regardless of what you were able to do in Mail 1.x (which remains unclear to me and cannot currently try myself), the mailbox format used by Mail 2.x is completely different. Mail 1.x mailboxes must be converted to the new format (e.g. by importing them) if you want to be able to view their contents in Mail 2.x at all...

  • Update to Acrobat 9.5.1 breaks Flash functionality for reading archived emails

    On installing update 9.5.1 to Acrobat Pro on WinXP, I can no longer read the index of previously archived email collections created using the Email to PDF macro in Outlook 2007.
    The PDF data file indices were readable before, and are still readable in Acrobat X Reader.  Hence the data file content seems to be correct.
    I get the error message as below and then on Cancel (as the download page does not work) I can only see the first email in the collection as a two pgae PDF, which is limited to say the least.
    Please advise how I should restore the functionality I had prior to this upgrade.

    Yes, as I said in my original post.the link to the download page did not work.  Also as Acrobat X Reader worked (on the same computer), then the required Flash software was already somewhere on my computer
    However, this issue has now been resolved by applying the recent update from Acrobat Pro v.9.5.1 to v.9.5.2, reopening the PDF portfolio and following the link in the new dialog box that appeared, to go to the correct Adobe(R) webpage to download and install the Flash Software update.  This latest webpage has a date of this month (August 2012).
    As of v.9.5.2 this problem is solved.

  • HT4207 I have same problem.  But my archive is off and was never on.  I downloaded a bunch off apps and it changed.  I can swipe delete, but there is no longer a delete button to hit after I read the email?  Confused

    My gmail on my iPhone 4S was working perfect.
    I bought a iTunes card and registered it and bought some new apps
    And tried many free ones.  Now when I got to in box and read
    An email the delete button option is now missing.  I can swipe delete, and my archive is and has always been off.
    At the bottom if the page on gmail on the phone the whole row of options delete, move etc
    Is missing.  Can anyone help?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • How do I read my archived email stored as a pdf by adobe?

    How do I read my archived email stored as a pdf by adobe? I have been archiving my email in adobe x.  When I go to view it I cant seem to access the information, but the file is 200 mb and growing. I can read the first email but that is all.

    I set up the archiving as per the “Setup Automatic Archival” instructions and it
    appears to be archiving things in a pdf, however when I go to open up the saved
    file “text.pdf” all that I see is the first e-mail in the collection as a pdf
    and nothing else.  I can’t seem to access the rest of the e-mails.
    They appear to be there, if I look at the volume of the file, 200 mb (screen
    shot 2).  I have tried opening it from acrobat pro x, outlook, acrobat
    reader and other various programs to no avail.
    I have attached (tried to) a print screen:
    Screenshot of the file explorer showing archived file names and volumes.  (the title
    CGT902 email.pdf at 203,885 kb is the archive title.  The first screenshot
    below is what I see when I open it.) 
        Thank you for responding to my question.  This seems simple but I seem to have hit
    a wall.

  • Mail deleted a current inbox and restored an old deleted inbox. It won't restore from Time Machine, and I'm missing archived emails from the old account. I'm pretty sure there is other stuff missing, but it's hard to tell. Any ideas why it would do this?

    Our Mac was working fine last Monday, then Tuesday morning one of our current inboxes was gone, and an old, archived inbox was restored--twice. Other than some trouble-shooting on Tuesday, we've pretty much left things alone as we were busy doing other stuff.
    I tried restoring the files from Time Machine, but it didn't work. I followed plisk restore instructions--nothing. It's a mess. We have no idea what would have caused this. We're above average users--we weren't mucking about with anything. It was just so strange.
    I went back into Time Machine, and it just makes no sense that I can't restore anything. We're now missing important emails--nothing too tragic, but still a pain in the butt. Thankfully the current inbox that was somehow deleted had a back-up on our email server, but the archived/deleted inbox file that was magically restored had all the archived emails that we kept deleted.
    Any ideas would be wonderful.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

    Its been for years (starting from 10OS Version 10.2 ) I couldn't see filed/labeled emails in my Z30/Z10 Blackberry HUB of my Gmail account, but I just downloaded Blackberry Blend and it started to show all my filed/labeled emails, but I still cant see them in my Blackberry HUB! Maybe you can tell me how to make Read Filed Emails visible in Blackberry HUB too?
    Blackberry HUB >> Settings >> Display and Actions:
    Show Read Filed Emails is ON
    Show Sent Emails is ON
    Both are turned on, but I still cant see them like on Blackberry Blend.. On search field then I type specific email from filed/label from my Gmail account I immediately finds it, but then I go back to Blackberry HUB all I can see just emails from inbox and single sent emails and YES "SYNC ALL EMAIL FOLDERS" IS SET TO ON AND "SYNC TIMEFRAME" IS SET TO FOREVER (''Sync All Email Folders'' is set ON and ''Sync Timeframe'' is set FOREVER).

  • Archiving email into PDF portfolio

    I'm trying to set-up for archiving emails from my Outlook 2007 (Win) to one or more PDF Portfolios.  I have Acrobat Pto XI  v. 11.0.3  I made a test portfolio from a small number of emails and it works great-- fully sortable and easy to do-- the Adobe TV how to was very helpful.  However, I'm bringing in a folder of received email and a folder of sent email, and the directory listing of emails at the top includes the "From" field, but not the "To" field, so for all of my sent emails there is no useful info (they're all from me).  How can I make the portfolio display the "To" field, as well?  I know that the info is in there because I can filter on the "To" field.  One other question, since I plan to use this solution, my plan is to bring a large number of emails in, many with large attachments--do I need to be concerned about limitations on number of emails or total file size for each portfolio?
    Thank you.

    If you go to the top of the table listing in the Outlook Portfolio and right-click, you can turn on the To: column.

  • Archiving emails?

    I have a few queries regarding archiving emails from Mail.
    1) If I use the drag & drop method I've seen mentioned, is that mailbox only ever recoverable on a Mac?
    2) How would I go about archiving say any email from 2008? Could I just do a search for those emails then copy them into a folder and then store them on an external hard drive?
    3) Any favourite methods that are recommended?
    Many thanks.

    I'm not sure what "the drag & drop method" is, or what you mean by "archiving," since that can mean a variety of things when it comes to e-mail.
    If you want them tucked out of the way but want to still be able to search them, just put them into a mailbox (or a nested hierarchy of mailboxes) created "On My Mac." I have a mailbox called Archive, inside which are mailboxes "Sent 2005," "Sent 2006," etc and "Trash 2005," "Trash 2006," etc. I've got thousands of e-mails in there, and never really pay any attention to them (except at the end of the year, when I make new boxes in there and clean out my never-emptying Trash and Sent mailboxes), yet they are still searchable.
    If you need to tuck them away somewhere and forget about them for all intents and purposes for a period of time, and will never need to look at them except in some kind of unusual situation - kind of like you would do with tax records - you can select a mailbox and choose Mailbox -> Archive Mailbox. You can put the file wherever you like, but won't be able to easily look at the messages it contains without re-importing into Mail.

  • Saving archived emails for entourage 2008 on 2 different MacBooks

    I use a Entourage 2008 on Macbook Pro at work on an exchange server and archive emails to specific files on my computer section. This allows me to keep the record of the email and keep the mailbox size appropriate for work. At home I have a separate Macpro with Entourage and want to "see" the archived emails.It is difficult to "synch" them if I saved at different locations.
    Previously in outlook, I could do this by saving the PST file on the shared folder and pointing to that file when I opened the outlook at home. The file would be always current. IS there a way to do this in Entourage? Is there a specific way to point to the database, so that either work or home opens to a "shared" drive rather then the local C drive?

  • Archive emails

    Hi. My emails are filling up my .mac storage space, yet everything in there I need to keep as they are a record of my business transactions. How can I archive emails (incoming and outgoing) from a smart folder to my local hard disk and then erase the files on the server to create more space? Thanks. Erryl

    Assuming you are not accessing your .Mac account as a POP account with the Mail.app, create/utilize "On My Mac" location mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive.
    Transfer messages from the account's Inbox mailbox to the designated "On My Mac" location mailbox. This process will store the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.
    If you are storing sent messages on the server, do the same with sent messages.
    After the transfer, take the account offline and back online which will synchronize the server stored mailboxes in Mail with the server removing the transferred messages from the server. Quitting and re-launching Mail will do the same.
    Using a Smart Mailbox will not achieve the same.

  • Unable to Archive Emails in Mavericks!

    I am unable to archive emails in Mavericks.
    This is what happens:
    1. I am archiving emails in one or all mailboxes and then I switch to a different mailbox in Mail.
    3. Then I switch back again to the previous mailbox and all the emails I tried to archive earlier, appear in the same mailbox (inbox)
    Any sollutions?

    I've posted this question elsewhere (going to close it now) and I fixed it by selecting "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu. It took a while to complete (see the floating activity window), but once that was done, Archiving worked.
    Oddly it worked for me on some messages but not others, and there was no pattern to which worked (from, to, subject, etc.)
    Try this and let's see if it works for you too.

  • How can I show outlook archived emails on iphone

    I archive my emails on my windows 7 laptop but want to be able to have access to those archived emails on my iphone. Is there a way to have the sync'd like the inbox and sent box are?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    To keep mail in sync requires an IMAP or Exchange account, such is not possible with a POP account. The only mail folders that can be kept in sync are folders created on the server...again, requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Local folders, created on a computer, cannot be kept in sync.

    How do you mass archive emails in iclould mail?  I have 330,000 emails and what to move old emails from my inbox to a managed folder. Can anyone help?

    Winston - thank you for your reps but that is common sense... Icloud only displays 50 emails at a time. So your recommendation doesn't work if you have 330,000 emails in your inbox. I am looking for a way to do a mass move.. Like a filter or rule that runs in the inbox. Current rules can only work as emails arrive.
    Any other thoughts?

  • Access to archived email folders

    I use ms exchange for my emails and have archived folders how do I access those folders from my ipad

    To the best of my knowledge, this cannot be done from an iOS device. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean when you say "archived folders", archived email from Outlook is a local file stored on the computer on which the archive was made, so it can't be accessed from the Mail app on the iPad. I don't know of any way to open an Outlook archive other than with Outlook even if you get the iPad access to the file via FileBrowser, Dropbox or some similar method.
