Relocate a .mbox folder from Mailboxes

I have one .mbox folder that is now in the default location of ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes that contains confidential information. I would like to put this into a sparse image volume.
Is there any way to tell Mail (3.6) to look elsewhere than the default? I don't particularly want to move everything in Mailboxes, but that could be done.

Thanks, V.K. I appreciate the warnings about the downside of doing that.
I may just go with File Vault once I am stable on Snow Leopard. If I have to enter a password just to use Mail without regard to whether I use that folder, then why not just let it be secure with my logon password.
I tried using the Save as option in Mail to create files to go into the sparse image, but that is useless since the date is changed. I would have no way to find a message based on the date sent. What would be great is a way to create PDFs (with attachments) from the messages. I did just that for my mail when I moved from a PC last year. I could also print each message to PDF, but this has two flaws: no attachments and no way to determine date sent.

If I move a mailbox from my imap account to "on my mac" can I safely delete the folder from the mail server and still be able to read the messages?

You certainly can.
Be aware that the emails you move to local storage ("on my Mac") will be the only copies that remain.

How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
Thank you!

Hey PrincessJasmine,
I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

Move a single Public Folder from one server to another cross-domain

Hi, I need to move specific Public Folders from a database on Exch2007 to a database on Exch2010. These are 2 separate domains and are already set up with their respective Public folder databases. I have a customer requirement to move from one domain to
the other. All mailboxes are moved, I just need to move their Public Folders. What is the easiest way to carry out this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can take PST of public folder from source forest and import PST on target forest from Outlook client.
Then you can use ExFolders to export and import PF permissions.
Best regards,

Public folder migration: Whats wrong with this Folder to mailbox file?

Hi,
This is my Folder to Mailbox file, migrating public folders from 2010 to 2013:
"FolderPath","TargetMailbox"
"\","Hierarchy-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office1","Office1-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office2","Office2-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office3","Office3-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office4","Office4-PF"
All these PF mailboxes live in a dedicated database. But only the mailbox DB containing Hierarchy-PF is growing and my initial migration (New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest / Step 5 in the technet article) is over 50% percent complete. This mailbox is going
to be over 300GB big and I gather the limit is 100GB, I'm sure that can be exceeded without problems, but I had several different reasons splitting the mailboxes and data the way I wanted above.
Questions:
1. How do I achieve the end result I want? Do I need to add a \ to the end of the office1-5 ipm_subtree perhaps?
2. Is there any problem with me stopping the existing migration, deleting that request/mailbox/DB and starting over?
Thanks.

Hi,
From your description, it seems that all public folders are migrated to the public folder mailbox "Hierarchy-PF".
Please run the following command to check if these migrated public folders are under the public folder mailbox "Hierarchy-PF".
Get-PublicFolderStatistics | ft Name, MailboxOwnerId
And please use the following command to check migration report.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl

Cannot open mail "home folder is full" after importing mail folder from time machine

hello, sorry for my poor english.
after an erase and reboot of my harddisk with new os yosemite installed, i've copied the mail folder from the time machine backup. but when i tried to open mail app it start to "import the mail box" and then stops saying that the home folder ins full, but it isn't, i've over 300gb free

What is your hard drive capacity and available free space after deleting a ton of stuff?
Try the following.
With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index.
Move the Envelope Index file to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, you will be prompted to import all mailboxes located within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. Select OK and allow the import process to complete.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully imported, you can delete the old Envelope Index file from the Desktop and this should resolve the problem.

Email alert volume; Stopping deletion of mail from mailboxes

Hi--Is there any way to turn up the volume of the email alert on my earthlink acct, the account came with the MB PRo.
Also, is there any way to stop the deletion of mail from mailboxes I've created. You can stop deletion from the Inbox or whatever, but I lost important mail I'd put them in a new mailbox and poof they went, without warning, no advisory, ****.

OK great.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

TS3899 Saved messages disappear from mailboxes after 'update'.

Saved messages often disappear from mailboxes after an automatic 'update'. Why does that occur? If it's normal, how long are messages retained in a mailbox? Thanks

Hi Milli,
I think the problem is that Mail tries to download them in order & if it runs into one it can't it just stops, happens when a bad/malformed email is in the chain too.
I think this may have cleared your problem though...

Did you use the expunge() method on the folder, or use close(true)? Otherwise the messages marked as DELETED will not be removed yet.

How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s. when it was synced, the photos went to two folders and not to the camera roll

Lightroom 3 - restore a deleted folder from HD?

Hello!
When I first began using LR I don't think I understood the navigation correctly, because for one project, back in June, I created a folder and moved favorites (flagged and 5-starred) from other folders into that one. What I didn't realize until 5 minutes ago is that it actually moves those files on your HD as well! The folder in LR has long since been deleted and for a heart-stopping 15 minutes or so I thought all my favorite photos were gone as well.
What I found, however, was the original project folder with all my favorites on my HD. So that's okay - problem is, now when I try to bring the folders back into LR, it treats them all as new, untreated photos. It doesn't recognize them. It doesn't recognize any adjustments I've made, either. Even in Finder when I open the photos, they're all totally untreated.
My question: is there a way I can get LR to recognize those photos again? Or am I going to have to go one by one and re-do all my adjustments, keywords, and folder placement?
Thanks!
p.s. - I don't use LR's backup because I have an online backup service, but thanks to Murphy's Law, that's also on the fritz...

Thing is, I don't see how deleting the folder in LR (but not on the HD) would totally erase all adjustment information. Doesn't LR store that info somewhere else? Or inside the photo directly? Where did that info go?
That is logic: LR is a database(=catalog) with records about your images.
You can tell LR to delete a folder from its catalog, but not from the HD. This is tantamount to telling LR to throw away all information it ever had about these images.
As you speak of "project folders" you might err by thinking LR should work like e.g. DxO, but it does not.
LR is a metadata-database, nothing else.
There is a remote chance that you might get things back, if you had saved LR's catalog settings into xmp of the files (so sidecar files for proprietary raw formats, embedded for TIF, DNG, JPG). Did you ctrl s or have your preferences set to autowrite xmp?
I am afraid not, since you report that a new import does not reveal your former work - which it would, as import reads xmp if available.
So tough luck, I'm afraid. If you tell LR to delete from its database, it does so.

Can I remove download folder from desktop without deleting

My Downloads folder has gotten on my desktop and now to remove it I have to put it in the trash and lose all my downloads. Is there something else I can do? It is already on my dock and in finder, but once I put the download folder from the desktop in the trash it removes my downloads from finder and the dock.

Open a Finder window and navigate to your User directory (it will typically have folders including Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures). Click the arrow to the left of Desktop and you should see the Downloads folder that is currently on your desktop. Drag that Downloads folder (or the Downloads folder on your desktop -- they are the same) to the blank space in the Finder window below the other folders -- i.e., below Documents, Movies, etc.)

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?
Can you "securely delete" just 1 item?

A dangerous and incorrect shell command has been posted in this thread.
NEVER empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.) NEVER put anything in the Trash unless you intend to delete it immediately. If you do put something in the Trash and change your mind about deleting it, move it out or use the Put Back contextual menu item. Then empty the remaining items in the Trash as usual.

Delete folder from application server

Hy folks i'm been reading many topics about creating and deleting a folder ( entire folder) from application file.
i successufuly create a file by using command and SM69 cmd /c mkdir,
and that's ok, what i'm unable to do is to delete a directory.
witch command should i use?
is it all possible to zip a folder?
Regards.

Hi,
you have to delete all files in your directory before deleting the directory. Otherwise, it is not possible.
The command is: rmdir -p
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD 'rmdir -p'
ID 'TAB' FIELD tabl-*sys*
Afterwards, to Zip a folder, refer to the class CL_ABAP_ZIP.
