Snow Leopard Server Mail - need attachments from mail server no longer on line.

Switched to GMail
pulled in .pst file for outlook but it had been configured to leave attachments on server.
the mail server is no longer online - how do I get the attachments?
I have access to the server but do not want to risk the mail syncing with google and deleting the files on the old mail server.
The export was not done cleanly - now I have to go back to pull from server.
Is there a way to export a users mail with attachments from the server to a folder that can then be imported into regular mail program?
To make it more fun the person is on a windows XP using outlook - so I will need to get it from the closed server to his outlook.

Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder.  At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Stripping Attachments from Mail messages.

    Does anybody know of a utility for stripping out attachments from Mail messages so as to save storage space?

    Hey thanks for the suggestions.
    Firstly, embedded attachments can be dragged out of the email messages on Windows as they can on OS X.
    Getting our clients to work like this could be difficult as they all have 1024px screens and from what we've seen they always have their windows maximised (in fact most Windows users seem to do this). But we'll suggest it.
    Secondly, when you next plan to make an attachment be sure to use the menu or toolbar option for selecting an attachment. When the Choose File dialog appears you will see a checkbox in the lower left labeled "Use Windows friendly attachments." Be sure that option is checked.
    We do this but it still doesn't seem to work - maybe their MailMarshal software is causing this?
    Thirdly, be sure any attachment you send has the proper extension. For example, PDF files should have ".pdf", and JPEGs should have ".jpg" or ".jpeg" in order to be consistent with what Windows applications expect.
    Yes, we do this.
    Fourthly, often certain documents on OS X do not have an extension or the extension is slightly different, for example, Word documents may be ".docx" on the Mac, but need to be ".doc" in order for Word for Windows to open the document by double-clicking.
    Have come across this also.
    Fifthly, ZIP files should not normally be confused with junk. Your IT department may need to consider making some changes to their email filtering software.
    We don't have an IT department, and based on recent conversations with their IT guys, they're definitely not interested in taking suggestions on email security from Mac users!
    Will see how we go with getting our clients to work differently but I'd personally prefer to sort it our end - from their point of view it's a Mac issue and from what I can see I think they might be right.

  • While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

    While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

    Hi all
    Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
    I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
    That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
    Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
    Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
    Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
    I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
    However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
    You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

  • Do i need to download snow leopard to Buy a program from the apps store?

    There is a image editing program that I am trying to purchase, but in order to, I have to purchase it now from the Mac Apps Store. It seems I don't have the Apps store And I heard that I needed Snow leopard (10.6.6?) in order to have access to the Apps Store. I currently have 10.5.8..So is this the problem? Would I need to buy Snow leopard? And when I do, Does it just download onto my computer or do I actually have to send out for a disc ? Any feedback would be appreciated.. THANKS!!

    Would I need to buy Snow leopard?
    You need it to get the Mac App Store. If you haven't already, check the manufacturer's website or the online Apple Store from the link above for that program.
    And when I do, Does it just download onto my computer or do I actually have to send out for a disc ?
    You need to get it on DVD.

    You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
    See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
    Most commonly used backup methods
    see here for how to find your disk space
    Why is my computer slow?
    If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
    Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
    Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.

    anybody have a suggestion? I need to find out what my key code is to connect another pc to my airport, I am running snow leopard. I need the hexidecimal code, 12 characters. How can I find it?

    You can get the Equivalent Network Password from the menu options of the AirPort Utility as follows:
    Start the AirPort Utility; select the AirPort, and then, select Manual Setup.
    From the Utility's menu bar, select Base Station, and then, Equivalent Network Password to reveal the hexidecimal key code.

    turn the mac all the way off. turn the mac on by pressing the power button. as soon as the apple logo appears, pres and hold your mouse button(trackpad mouse clicker etc...) until the CD comes out.

  • I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

    I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

    You can migrate to iCloud whilst still using snow leopard, but you will not be able to sync your calendars and contacts on your Mac.
    If you are asking whether you should get Lion before or after migrating to iCloud, it really doesn't matter, but I think I would prefer to get it before migrating to iCloud .

    I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

  • I have a Mac os x version 10.5.8 and I want to clear it what snow leopard do I need

    Please can you tell me what version of snow leopard I would need if I want to clear my mac osx version 10.5.8 ?

    You don't need Snow Leopard to clear your Mac.
    As long as you have an Intel Mac you can use any Snow Leopard DVD to erase your disk and install.
    Perhaps backup your Mac to an external disk first.

  • Creating mails with attachments from flat text files

    Hello XI community-
    we need to send emails containing attachments via the email adapter. The input comes from a flat ascii file.
    The source file contains the message body, receiver and one or more lines that have to be converted into one or more (text) attachments.
    As far as I know, the mail adapter can create attachments only from SOAP attachments.
    Does anybody know a way to create SOAP attachments from the message payload?
    Cheers,
    Linus
