Sync mail folders and signatures

With mobileme gone, and now on icloud... sync support is gone.
Any way to do this now?
Can I manually pull all mail settings, accounts and sigs to copy over to a new mac pro?
Ideas?

a smart mailbox is not a regular folder. it's a saved search. you do a search and save the search parameters so you can repeat the search quickly. that's what a smart mailbox is. no actual messages are moved anywhere when you make a smart mailbox.

Trouble syncing Mail folders/subfolders

Hi to anyone who reads this.
Not sure where to turn for help right now. Apple Tech Support says this is a .Mac problem; .Mac says it's an Apple Tech Support issue. I'm in the inferno.
Like a lot of people, I download a lot of e-mails from the server and put them into folders and subfolders (and sometimes sub-subfolders). Some folders are important; others are not. It is critical that I have access to these important folders over the holidays when I'm not at my iMac. I have a .Mac account, so I should be able to do that. But when I try to sync, the folders don't show up (or...worse...only a few of them show up). For those of you who want to read on, please do.
I initially tried this sync with my folders about two months ago. It didn't work -- it wasn't critical to me then, so I didn't pursue it. What happened then was that I dragged the main folder(s) with several subfolders (and lots of e-mails) from where they sat in my mail program to below the globe icon for my .Mac account. The colorful ball whirled for quite a while. Then I went to the .Mac site, opened my mail and found only a few of the folders and subfolders had transferred. I was frustrated, but I stopped worrying about it.
Fast forward to today. I have a very strong need to have access to those e-mails while I'm away. I have tried to sync many times in the last day. Most recently, I have manually sync'd everything, so I know the sync works for my iCal and address book (although strangely, the automatic one looked like it worked, but it didn't). Nevertheless, the calendar and address books are completely up-to-date. I double-checked that the memory wasn't a problem. It's not. I even increased the storage allotment for mail to 700.
Trying everything I could think of, I went to the .Mac site, opened my folders, deleted the old (incompletely transferred and NEVER effectively synchronized despite autosyncing) folders from a few months ago and started over. (By the way, not that it matters, but the main folders under the globe icon are white, not blue, and the subs are blue...not sure what that means.) I have tried in many ways to get the folders I created in my Mail program to transfer to .Mac by placing them under the globe icon and then pressing the sync button. Nothing seems to work.
Help. Do you know what is wrong? Do you know what department at Mac should be helping me? What else do you need to know to help answer this one? I really need those e-mails -- far, far too many to resend to myself to put on the server over the holidays. Hundreds!! All very important for a conference I am planning.
Thanks so much!!! By the way, I'm a 10.4.3 user. I wish I could tell you whether this happened before or after the upgrade this fall, but honestly, I just don't remember.

I have an iMac with many mail folders containing many emails. I just purchased a MacBook. Is there a way to transfer the mail folders and all the existing emails onto the MacBook
the easiest is to use Migration Adssistant (it's in Applications/Utilities). It lets you transfer all your user settings, not just Mail. If you are interested in Mail ONLY, copy the entire folder /users/username/library/mail and the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. when you start Mail after that it will look just as it did on the old computer.
and once that is accomplished is there a way I can keep both mail accounts in sync?
if you use an IMAP email account, this is automatic. if you use POP, it's impossible.
I would like to be able to file or delete an email on one computer and have the same action take place on the other computer.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad.

Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.

I clicked to open one of my mail folders and when it opened, it immediately deleted all of the items in it! Why and can I get them back???

In my email app, I clicked to open one of my mail folders. When it opened, it immediately deleted all of the emails inside that folder. This happened with all the others too. How can I stop this and is it possible to get that mail back.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

I am no longer able to sync multiple photo albums/folders on my iphone. I use to be able to sync many folders and now itunes only gives the option of 1 folder. How do I get back to the multiple folder option?

first time to the discussion forum. Like I stated in the title, I use to be able to have all my photo albums sync to my iphone. I did something and now it only allows me to "sync photos from..." and it only allows me to chose from 1 of my folders and not pick multiple folders from my photo library. does anyone know how to get back to the multiple folder option? I'm sure its simple since I changed this so easily when trying to add a single folder to my library.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Mail folders and smart mailbox

Can someone tell me what the difference is between a regular mail folder and a smart mailbox?
I made a lot of mail folders under "on my mac" and I just found that I can make a smart mailbox. How are they different?
When do you use one and not the other?
Thanks, Susan

Sync send folders and templates between multiples devices

hello there,
I have to send many emails and use a lot of templates as I am a sole trader and I contact ppl to find work. I need a solution to keep sent folders of emails, all contacts and also template folders on multiple devices in sync. I am using 2 pc's and one Ipad currently.
I would further like to sync with a macbook I am going to but soon. Unforutnately I dont know of any email client able to do that yet.
Is Thunderbird able to do that? Or is a feature like that currently in developement? I might have to try outlook for this. But honestly I dont like Microsoft. I would much prefer to use Thunderbird. I would even be willing to pay money for this feature. I am so desperate for an email programm to be able to synchronize a complete account with all templates I made etc on multiple devices.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take out the time to help me

This is an email protocol thing and not an email client thing.
IMAP syncs different folders across multiple devices. POP only connects to the Inbox of the email server.

Move mail folders and settings from 10.6 to 10.4

Hello,
will there be any problems if i copy my Mail folder, and the com.apple.mail.plist file from a 10.6.4 install over to a 10.4 install?
I have all my emails on a macintosh with Snow Leopard, but i need to copy all my emails etc over to another Mac that has a 10.4 install.

I will have to think about this, and perhaps test. I have tested going from Mail in 10.6.x to 10.5.x, and it works despite some changes and new added files in Mail 4.x.
While I think it should work, I do know that with a POP account, the file that prevents duplicate downloads will not functionally transfer to Mail 2.1.x, and thus any messages remaining on the POP3 server will again download. This is because Mail 2.x uses a file in each account folder, while in Mail 3.x and 4.x, there is a single file at the root level of the Mail folder that does this.

Mail Folders and Dock Icons missing

My MBP started up today with only the default icons in the dock. Also it's not hidden as it was before.
My mail folders are all gone as well. It would seem my mac has forgotten some things.
That's as far as I dared to venture before seeking help from you guys. Please advise if you know how i can get things back the way they were.
regards, Graham.

PLEASE HELP ... My iMac desktop and Mac Air laptop are not syncing mail folders ???

I am running mac mail with icloud on both my desktop and laptop. They are both running Mac OX Lion 10.8.2 and originally when I set them the email folders created unders icloud were syncing. Lately, if I add an email folder in icloud on my desktop I do not see the same on my laptop and if I transfer an email from the inbox on my desktop into an icloud folder, I am not seeing the same occuring on my laptop. Hence, my laptop has over 900 emails in the inbox and I don't want to have to manually transfer all of them into the appropriate folders.
Any idea what I am doing wrong or what happened?

Jason,
1. iCloud is checked and set up correctly on both computers with respect to their preference panels and both computers are logged in with the same iCloud account.
2. I have forced the sync on both computers multiple times ... nothing changes.
3. When viewed online at iCloud.com, the folders are not the same. The recently added folders are not showing up on within iCloud. The same problem as the laptop. Only the desktop retains the correct folders once added.
Not sure what to do now ...

Syncing Mail folders from iMac (on my mac) to IMAP account

I use Mail, on my Mac mostly, for my mails. I obviously have inbox & folders. I have my folders under "On my Mac" this is where I move mails. I also have folders under "IMAP account". Which was set-up initially with help of technical support - but of course I can't remember exactly how....
So when I view my IMAP account - via Mobile Me - my Inbox is always fully synced - but my folders are not synced.
How do I sync my items that I move into folders on my mac with my IMAP account, that I can then read off-line?

I have the same issue, did you ever find a solution for this problem?
