Remove mail

I have trouble with Apple Mail in OSX 10.9 and need to delete all information to start from scratch.
I have deleted the V2 Mail folder and cleaned out the keychain but some information keeps comming back.
Where else do I need to look in order to make Mal start as if it never has existed on a user account?

Wow I would never have tought of that!
A specially since it doesn't do anthing on the other Mac's I would not have figured it out.
Meantime I solved it the hard way by keeping the V2 folder open and de delete the auto populated folders for the various email accounts when the showed up after starting the Apple Mail configuration.
Not the most elegant way but it worked...
At least now I know what to uncheck next time I face a similar problem ;-)
Thanks!

How to remove mails (and attachments) permanently?

Hi!
I just realized my Archive.mbox (~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes) is quite big (8.5GB) and I decided to remove old mails with large attachments.
As I use GMail account via POP3, first I removed mails from the Google account and I freed up about 1.5GB extra space. Later, I searched for mails with attachments in Mail.app, then sorted then and started to remove and emptied the trash. This operation was quite weird as some of them where moved to the Trash folder, some not.
As I was controlling the space of the Mailboxes folder this is what I noticed:
- Archive.mbox - the size of the mbox didn't change (anyone know why?)
- Deleted Messages.mbox increases while removing another mails then decreased while wiping it out (this is what I expected)
In summary, I removed a lot of mails and didn't free up ANY space! Does anyone know how to do it properly?
Also, while googling I found out about "Mail Downloads" folder which is moved from Library to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. As I set "Remove unedited downloads" to "When Mail Quits" can I simply remove all subdirs from this dictionary to save some space? This folder is only used for copy of attachments, right?
Thanks for anwers,
Bart

Each IMAP account it's own Archive folder. POP accounts all share the same Archive folder.
I removed a POP account in Mail but the archive messages did not delete. You would need to move them out of the Archive folder then trash to remove if you have archived other POP account messages. However, if it's only the one account, you can manually delete this folder in the User's Library then rebuild the Mail index.
Quit Mail
Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
Scroll to Mail folder.
Mailboxes folder stores the "On My Mac" messages. IMAP accounts store it's Archive folder in the account's folder.
In Mailboxes you'll find the Archive folder. Delete.
In the MailData folder, delete the 3 files with envelope in the name.
Open Mail and it will reindex your messages.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash

HT1277 How to delete/remove mail accounts. After I restart mail they all come back.

I would like to remove mail accounts on my Mac. I press"-" and account is gone, however as soon as I start mail again it shows back. Is there a way to remove it so it wouldn't come back?
Thank you.

From the Finder menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... and enter
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
in the text box that opens. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. In the Sharing & Permissions section of that window, do you have read & write access? Is the file locked? What is its modification date?

Removing Mail

What is the process for removing MAIL from my MacBook -- or at least disabling it so that whenever I attempt to copy an e-mail address MAIL does not automatically open all sorts of intrusive, unneeded, unwelcome windows? I have already "poofed" (or whatever AppleHip term is used to remove something from the toolbar/docking bar/whatever AppleHip calls it) the MAIL icon, so it no longer appears there. I went to System Preferences, which would be the location where logic and reason would lead one, but, no, AppleLogic is different from common sense logic, so it's not that simple or straight-forward. Looked under MAIL Help, but (no surprise this) there is no mention of how to remove MAIL, only email messages. And now, ever so humbly, I turn to the Support Forum in hopes someone with thinking processes better aligned with AppleThink can provide an answer. Thank you.

You got that right, it's a crazy deal... you have to use Mail to disable Mail... well not disable but have it not be the default Mail APP which it tries to open when clicking on an email addy!
Mail>Preferences>General... 1st line... Default Mail Reader, then choose something like Text Edit... or a dummy APP you can delete aftrwards maybe!

Remove Mail from mailbox after accepting mail by another guy

I have an requirement in such way that if one employee accpets the mail, mail should get removed from mail box of other employee.
Mail are the MS-Outlook mails and all employee are group together in one address book.
In second scenario, if employee sent one mail (For ex. Leave application) it goes to two high level. If first level try to approve it at time it should prompt error message that second level approval is pending.
Please let me know is it possible through ABAP or workflow?
Thanks in stack

Hi Nilesh,
<i>at first I don't really have very good news for you:</i>
Removing mails from Outlook is a microsoft feature and does only work when developing an appropriate application for this one. Removing mail items also prerequesites that an Outlook template/form is used and it is not a "mail" object anyways.
Solving the problem this way would possibly exceed any one's project's budget.
<i>The better news is:</i>
What you might think about is the Outlook-Connector for SAP which comes with the Frontend-CD that opens up in a separate "inbox", which refreshes from the SAP's workitem inbox. If a certain workitem disappears it will also disappear (after the refresh time) from the outlook's inbox as well.
As I have said in one of my posts before I'm still not sure if that interface product is still activly supported by the SAP. Furthermore I have experienced certain curious effects that came up, e.g. that read-notifications from the last years have been sent once again. Also consider more network traffic etc.
For the second scenario you where asking, you should think about opening a new thread and a bit of more detailed information about what you are asking exactly.
Best wishes,
Florin

Can I remove Mail.app and retain Thunderbird functionality?

MacBook Pro 15" Retina, 500g drive, 8g ram. VM with Parallels 8/Win7 and Bootcamp with the identical Win 7 installation.
Nearly two months after receiving my lovely MacBook in October last year, my Mail app quit receiving mail. I could send, but nothing came in. Pop3 accounts on digital cable service.
I asked about it here and was answered with the recommendation to use Thunderbird. No looking back, it's great. I have used it before on Win XP long ago, but didn't have server based e-mail accounts then so I used it as the prime client on a Toshiba machine. Since then, I have started a website and am allowed ten e-mail accounts so I just go to the server or use Thunderbird. Thunderbird out of convenience, and the server if I am not at home on my network. I won't go into it here. A Charter Communications issue.
So, here is the question, and the subject asks the same thing. Can I remove Mail.app from my machine and retain functionality in Thunderbird? Additionally, can I remove Mail.app and reinstall it from here if I desire to test it or end up with issues if I do remove it?
The reason I want to do this is due to clicking on e-mail links and having Mail open and ask me to set it up. I have no desire or need to use it. I have been copy/pasting the link, but I am really tired of it. I want to click and see Thunderbird go to work for me.
So, another question, how do I get all xxxx@xxxxx,com/net/org links to open Thunderbird instead of Mail if that is a better solution?
Thanks gang,
Kelly J.
BTW, I looked around the boards and found nothing even close to this. I posted to this board because it seems to be the right place for this issue since it is a system app.

Trying that now. I'll post my address here and try it. Back in a minute.
Yes sir. That's the ticket. Thanks for the help. I had to create an account to get mail to open fully, but I can delete it.
Thanks again.
Kelly J.

P.S. It still works after deleting the account. Thunderbird takes the command.
Thanks.

*I just want someone to let me know that this is the best way to delete my user account and create a new one, but I need to make sure that my files and applications stay intact.*
Those are a bit contradictory goals. First, there's only one way to delete your account without erasing the machine and doing an Erase & Install: you have to create another admin user account, log into it, and delete the original. If you installed your applications the normal way, they should reside in /Applications, not in /Users/your username/Applications, so they're available for all current or future users. As for *your files*, why would you want the new user to have them? Those are private and shouldn't be transfered. Finally, for all Apple apps that didn't come with the machine and 3rd-party apps you installed separately, you need to include the installation disks and manuals; otherwise, what you're doing is illegal. You might want to reconsider why selling the computer tomorrow is so urgent.

Removing Mail from a MailBox via Command Line

Hi,
I have a mailBox with > 10,000 (Mailing List Bounce).
I'd like to be able to delete all the mail from the command line.
Is that possible?
Thanks,

Hi BriGy,
Base on my search, if you want to remove these service account permission, you need to remove from organizational level, not mailbox level.
Please refer to the following thread, it may give you some hints:

Removing Mail For Exchange from Nokia 5800

Hi. My Nokia 5800 is running the firmware version v.30.0.011 (latest available).
I installed MfE via the App. Update.
However, now, I don't need it anymore and have removed it using the application manager.
The problem now is that whenever I go to file manager and try to send any file, it shows the option "Via Mail for Exchange" despite it being non-functional.
Is it possible to remove that entry from my "Send" list?

Only E-Series can handle security policies. It might happen that a N-Series or other S60 devices supports one or more policies but all are only supported by E-Series.
Device lock might work on 5800 buit if there is a policy that is not supported by the device access is denied. MfE supports all 2003SP and 2007 security policies and a subset of 2007SP1.
Please check the TSG on www.businesssoftware.nokia.com.
There are several other things the admin needs to check. Please try it with a E-Series device.

Removing mail preference files

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Apple Removed Mail Search by Message Content in Lion 10.7.2

Just got off the phone with Apple Support. As usual, they are very helpful. However, I was disappointed to learn that Apple silently removed the ability to search mail by content in the latest update to OSX.
I have OSX Lion 10.7.2, and when I type anything into the search field in Mac Mail (or, interestingly, onwww.me.com), there are options to search only by subject or sender or recipient, not by message content as there used to be.
According to Emily at Apple Support, Apple intentionally removed the search by content feature because "it wasn't working right". They are or MAY be working to add it back in to the next update. No commitments.
Sadly, there was no mention of this DOWNGRADE at the time I installed 10.7.2. And, the knowledge base article herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1458 makes no mention of Mail changes either.
Sad. Confused. And a little bit angry. Apple can and should do better.

Well, I agree with #2 out of 4.
I have no problems searching by content in OS 10.7.2. As Barney says, it's the default search state now.
