Undo move in Apple Mail?

I can move and delete and otherwise mess with emails in Apple Mail, then hit undo...
EXCEPT when it is an email to my GoogleMail account: If I drag an email that Apple Mail has retrieved to my gmail.com address, when I hit UNDO, it beeps.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Sorry, perhaps I was not clear.
I have retrieved the emails into Apple Mail, but when I drag them into a mailbox folder, I cannot UNDO that drag with items that originated at GoogleMail, even though they have been downloaded into my Mac hard disk.
This seems weird. Is there any way to make UNDO work for googlemail items I have downloaded already into Apple Mail ?
Thanks

TS3276 Apple Mail Welcome Page suddenly has appeared

We had a blackout two nights ago now, and upon rebooting Apple Mail, it is now "Welcoming" me to set up my email accounts. They've been set up for 9 years. How do I get access back to Apple Mail? There are six separate email accounts.
I have read that I can move com.apple.mail.plist out of the Library and see if Apple mail rebuilds it. I also have time machine backups where I assume I could restore the mail.plist (and I assume one prior to the blackout as close as I can), but I don't want to go into time machine and drag com.apple.mail.plist into the library/prefs/ until I know I won't accidentally erase anything or emails.
Thanks for your advice in advance.

icloud.com via safari won't let me access mail either

.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Apple Mail To Do/

Hello,
One morning Mail has created a directory on my IMAP box :
.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Apple Mail To Do/
Quiet funny...
Does somebody know why and how I could remove it ?
I have tried to delete it with "delete mailbox" but it reappears.
Thank you !

Yes - it is a strange one. I was getting multiple mailboxes and constant Mail crashes when I had Safari 4 beta installed. If you are using Safari 4 beta then you need to uninstall it using the uninstaller in the original download package - it will reinstate Safari 3.
Here are some other things to try:
Firstly, 'Repair Permissions' using Disk Utility, and restart.
If Mail crashes upon opening, try holding down the shift-key when opening, then rebuild your mailbox - Menu/Mailbox/Rebuild.
Are you using Synchronization in System Preferences/MobileMe? If so, try turning it off. Also check that your computer appears under the 'Advanced...' button.
If all else fails, then move the 'Mail' folder in ~/Library/Mail to your Desktop (do NOT delete it at this stage). Also, move 'com.apple.mail.plist' from ~/Library/Preferences/ to your Desktop. You will need to setup your mailbox again when you open Mail - follow the default setup procedure and setup your mailbox as an IMAP account - it will synchronize/download the emails you have stored on the server if you have been saving your data there.
Test Mail and if it is OK, then you can import whatever data you have in the old Mail folder on your Desktop - Menu/File/Import Mailboxes/Mail for Mac OS X and navigate to the Mail folder on the Desktop, follow onscreen instructions.
Hope this helps.

Move Apple mail 2.07 account directory to another location/partition

Hi all,
Was bugged by few problems after the update to 10.4.6.
As follows:
All my emails disappear after it. Knowing that i previous did some customising of moving to different folder, i try to import it in and everything is there under the folder Import. Solved on my first problem.
I have since drag all folders from Import to the main and deleted off the folder Import.
While i starting to add accounts into the new Mail 2.07, i faced another problem. I am unable to set the account directory for the account i have created. This is bugging me as i have all my emails on the other partition and it contains 2GB of all my important emails i need. though i have successfully imported them into Mail 2.07, i wish to move the mail to the other partition so i can have a easier time not needing to housekeep now and then since most of my emails have large attachments with them.
I tried accessing Andrew Pontious's helpfultiger tips after some searching within this discussion and found that his site is no longer functioning.
Have also tried the other method of adding a new account without the assistance by pressing "Option" when clicking the "+" icons and the Mail preference panel just hang on me without anything shown. Forcing me to do a force quit on Mail and try again and again. And still, after last night of countless tries, i still unable to progress any further.
Help needed :
1. Any ways to push my mail to other partition other than setting the account directory within the account setting to the other partition?
2. If able to customise the default folder from /Library/Mail to another partition, that will be nicer.
3. If no way to set the default account directory, possible to customise a folder which is located at the other partition and create a rule to move the mails into that folder?
Pardon me for this lengthy post as i have been bugged by few other problems other than this Mail and desperately needing help to get my Mail back in order to carry on working.
N.B: I have tested my iMac hardware, did a disk verification and permission repair and everything is doing fine.

I must be missing something here, because this is
starting to make little sense to me. In my previous
reply I did give you step-by-step instructions
to accomplish what you want. Have you tried it? Is
there something there you didn't understand? If
replacing the HOME/Library/Mail folder with an
alias doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it can be done
using Unix symbolic links instead, but I believe
Finder aliases are preferable here if they work (and
I believe they do).
Why on Earth would someone prefer to play with more
involved hacks that only provide a partial solution
and that are more likely to cause problems?
Never doubted your suggestion and was gladful for it.
However, i tried and my mail didn't show up with those personal folders which i created to categorize the chunk of emails i got. Ended up i reverse the process and everything is back in Mail again.
One thought after last night of trying, com.apple.mail.plist.
Will try to see if i can edit the default location ~/Library/Mail to my preferred location on the other partition by means of editing the plist.
Will update if any result.
And to all who have responded in this thread, sincerely thank all of you for the time and effort spent to help me out. Thank You!

I use Apple Mail and dislike Outlook. If I create a note in Apple Mail, move it to desktop for easy access and then open the note, it opens in Outlook. How do I stop Outlook from opening? Do I need to uninstall Outlook? Will it disrupt other software?

Open Apple Mail, and open Preferences (under Mail in the Menu Bar). On the General tab, check the "Default Email Reader" and set it to Mail (6.6).

Apple Mail - undo Mailbox - Use this mailbox for

Using Apple Mail 4.5, I tried to get my mom's Trash back to a normal place. She's using Gmail, and IMAP. I tried doing a "Mailbox" and then Use this mailbox for and pointing it to Gmail's trash. Now it is empty.
What is the proper way to set up IMAP gmail with Apple Mail?

Mail has to store those messages somewhere. Hence, the only way to “undo” those selections is to do Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For on a different mailbox or to turn OFF the corresponding Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store messages on the server setting.

Move emails from apple mail to windows outlook

Hello Everyone,
I have recently bought a windows laptop as majority companions in my office have windows only. I also have mac book pro having apple mail as my e-mail client. I work in a small company in which e-mail is the life blood of our company. So now what I need to do is move all my emails from apple mail to outlook that is present in windows laptop. I haven't found any answers or discussions regarding this topic on this forum site. Can any one please help me get over with this problem or atleast guide me or direct me to the forum where solution for this query is posted.
Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email programs. Then when you logon with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.

Are there any other options available...???

Is it advisable to MOVE contents of "Users/~/Library/Mail/V2" in the Finder instead of from within Apple Mail "ON MY MAC" left pane?

Is it advisable to MOVE some folders/mailboxes within "Users/~/Library/Mail/V2" by drag and drop in the Finder instead of moving them from within the Apple Mail "ON MY MAC" left pane?
Any drawback or problem or danger about it? In case of doing it, should I do it with Apple Mail open or closed?

Apple Mail : Move emails from one account to another

Good Day,
I please need help with Apple Mail. A client of mine recently changed her email address from her webhost to online exchange. I setup her new email in Apple Mail and that is all working and nice.
Her Apple mail now shows 2 accounts:
- the old IMAP
- the new Exchange
I would like to consolidate all emails from her old IMAP account to her new Exchange account, so that they are all in one place. In Outlook you can just drag and drop emails and folders between the accounts, but my client says that that doesn't work in Apple Mail.
How would I go about moving these emails from one email account within Apple Mail to another?
Sorry for the trivial question, but I am a Windows girl and not as versed in Mac;)
Thanks for the help!
Maike

Try creating a new mailbox in the On My Mac section and drag the e-mails there. Mail/Mailbox/New Mailbox.

Open Mail and export the mailboxes to .mbox format (Mailbox Menu>Export Mailbox) that will produce an .mbox file, then in Outlook:
On the Outlook for Mac File menu, click Import.
Click Contacts or messages from a text file, and then click the right arrow.
Click Import messages from an MBOX-format text file, and then click the right arrow.
Follow the instructions.
Sorry pal but this method of yours also didn't work. The files that i need to import are greyed out and cannot be selected. I tried this method saveral times but the result was the same.
Well I was hoping if you can suggest me any software that could help me with this type of problem. Because i have looked into similar kind of queries and there some softwares are recommended.
your help will be really appreciated.

How to move Apple Mail from one Mountain Lion mac to another Mountain Lion Mac?

What is the easiest way to do this?

The easiest way would be to just reenter the settings for the account in question in Mail.app.
Then Mail would access the mail server online and download whatever is on the server (depending on your mail settings, and the server settings).
If you have mail stored on your Mac that is not on the server, then you could move the stored mail files too. This is a bit more complicated.
