Removing GMAIL POP Account and Replacing with IMAP Account

Because I want to sync my Gmail account on two Macs and discovered that IMAP is better at this than POP, I want to delete my Gmail POP account and add an IMAP account. Mail > Preferences indicates that all received mail will be deleted as well. Since I want to keep received emails, should I move them to a folder in On My Mac? I don't see where emails are stored on the hard drive, so until I know that I'll be able to retrieve them, I don't want to delete the POP account.
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
You may find that all these messages also exist on the Gmail server, and if so they will sync with the IMAP access. The account folder and the Inbox, etc, can be found at Home/Library/Mail in a folder beginning with POP.
You can leave the POP account, and only disable it in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced until you check or transfer the info.

  • Remove preinstalled iLife 08 and replace with iLife 06

    I'm planning to buy an intel iMac shortly. I know that iLife 08 comes preinstalled on the machines - is it possible to delete everything except for iDvd and reinstall iLife 06? I was told by a genius that it can't be done because of the licensing agreements or something like that. In other words, you can't remove bundled software

    You can remove the bundled software but if you install iLife 08 on the new computer without deleting them from your current computer you will be in violation of the license agreement.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Remove People from Backgrounds and Replace with Solid Grey Backgrd

    I have several photos of people with poor backgrounds that I want to replace with a solid medium grey background.
    How do I get or make the background.
    I assume I use the Quick Selection tool to select the person but I don't have an image with a solid background.

    Open you picture file
    Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground
    Go to Layer>new>layer via copy (CTRL+J)
    Place a blank layer between the background layer and the layer created in step #3
    Go to Edit>fill layer, and in the drop-down for contents select 50% gray. OK it.
    Note: In step #5 you can use any color. Set the foreground color chip to the desired color, and fill  the layer with the paintbucket tool

  • Remove existing website content and replace with iweb 08 site

    Hi
    I have an existing website (not iweb) on personal domain name that needs complete overhaul - I want to replace it with an iweb 08 site using same personal domain name. I am new to the mac world having converted a few months ago - also don't know html code etc.
    How do I remove the existing web content to make way for the iweb site using the same domain name - do I download folder using cyberduck and delete content from public_html folder - will this clear the way for new site to be published via iweb and .mac ??
    Any help and guidance appreciated
    Thanks

    I think what you are asking might be better put this way:
    "When published, will my current Domain name automatically go to the new site, and if not, what do I need to do to make it so?"
    The answer is no, it won't. If Web City is also your Domain name registrar, then you will either have to transfer it for use with .Mac, or forward the Domain to the .Mac url.
    I have not personally transferred any of my Domain names to .Mac, but I don't believe it is hard to do. You can go into System Preferences on your machine, click on the .Mac icon, navigate to "Account info/Personal Domain", and go from there.
    There are many here who have already done this so I'm sure someone will chime in and lend a hand if you run into difficulties.

  • UZBL wants to remove dmenu-vertical-xft and replace with dmenu

    Thinking that UZBL may have a PKGBUILD that asks for dmenu.   
    uzbl-tabbed and uzbl-browser that is.
    uzbl-core installed fine after removing uzbl-git.
    Currentlyusing dmenu-vertical-xft
    all good   all fun!

    most iteresting new tip for me. thank you.
    so, the PKGBUILD first half of it is below and I'll change the last line or two? to:
    conflicts=('dmenu')
    "provides=('dmenu=4.0')"
    um, what about conflicts.... leave it as is I think. makes sense.
    Actually seem quick a brilliant way, change it slightly like that.
    And of course a lot more I won't yet understand.
    in any event, great!
    -------- PKGBUILD FIRST PART BELOW
    pkgname=dmenu-vertical-xft
    pkgver=4.0
    pkgrel=4

  • Mail.app and purging of moved messages with IMAP accounts?

    I REALLY want to like Mail.app but one item that has caused frustration for years is the handling (or lack) of handling of my messages once moved to another folder with IMAP accounts. I would like for Mail.app to purge/expunge the messages from the server automatically when the message is moved but it doesn't seem to complete that transaction until you actually quit out of mail.
    I use multiple computers and I don't remember to quit out of Mail.app going from one of my Macs to another and don't want to but I'm getting tired of having to file the messages twice (or more). Is there a way to set Mail.app to do the automatic instant purging (or expunging) of the messages from the originating folders without having to quit out of the application? This seems to be the default behavior for nearly every other mail client I've used, including Entourage and is an option in Outlook and Outlook Express (PC).

    same is true with popmail, not just imap.
    moreover, i think hitting "remove now" just puts content in your server's trash folder, meaning it's still taking up disk quota and you'll never know till you stop getting mail...

  • Rewrite  process and remove the call to f-54 and replace with bapi proces

    Hi Gurus,
    Please help me to find the soultion.
    The root cause of this continual problem is the design and use of BDC session for F-54.  Is there a redesign possible with ECC6.0?
    I wanted to rewrite the process and remove the call to f-54 and replace with bapi process.
    if this is now possible in ECC 6.0
    The benefit would be to better control what PO was used in the DP recoupment.
    Thanking you,
    Raju Singhireddy.

    Hi Balaji,
    Check this BAPI

  • How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

    Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
    As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
    I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
    (In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
    Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
    Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 11    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 12    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    (See this earlier thread if you wish!)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
    At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
    As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
    This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
    In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
    What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
    I have one OS drive
    and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Harm,
    Regarding your comment:
    Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
    Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
    If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
    Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
    Step 2: Turn off the computer
    Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
    Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
    Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
    Cheers,
    Jim

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???
