What format do I use for mailboxes for saving prior to reverting back from Mavericks to Snow Leopard?

After three weeks and spending hundreds of dollars on Apple-certified techs, I have to revert from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard due to unbearable issues.  I've got the instructions on the process, but don't know exactly  what format to use to export mailboxes and contacts for Snow Leopard to be able to recognize them.  Can I use Mavericks export OR do I need to use a dmlx to mbox converter program?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

When you have added all the list or numbered items you want, then press return to get an empty list item, and then return again to exit list format to regular paragraph style.

  • Downgrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard without using Time Machine

    Hello.
    I upgraded from Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) and upgraded to Mavericks but the Time Machine was not turned on. Is there anyway to downgrade back to Snow Leopard?
    I contacted Apple Support and was told that it is not advisable to format the drive and do a clean install using Snow Leopard installation Cd's since Mavericks made changes to the hardware on the iMac. They advise using time Machine to downgrade, but this option is not available to me. Is this true?? Or can I re-install Snow Leopard with no issues?
    Thanks.

  • What format do I use for internal drive?

    I want to install a new internal harddrive into my Macbook.  What format should I use for it?
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
    MS-DOS (FAT)
    ExFAT
    I know MS-DOS(FAT) is what I should use for external to work on mac and windows.  Can't remember which to use for the internal.  I have an Intel-based Mac.
    Thanks for your help.

    I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
    So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
    Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
    But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
    And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

  • Use this mailbox for Junk does not appear to work in Mail 4.2.

    Hello, all:
    Have been using 10.6.x since it came out on my previous iMac [24" Early 2008 model]. Went with a fresh install of 10.6.3 on the new iMac [27" i7], and ported data over.
    The only problem that I've had is that setting the Use this mailbox for Junk command in setting up Mail 4.2 does not seem to work. I've closed Mail and looked at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, and the correct mailbox name is indicated for the two accounts [IMAP and GMail over IMAP] where I'd like to do Junk Mail filtering. However, there is no centralized Junk Mail filter, which is really annoying me.
    I didn't have this problem previously in Mail 4.x, and I'm expecting that it's a bug specific to 4.2, which I haven't seen in my previous incarnation because I did the import from 3.x->4.0, and the prefs carried forward correctly from 4.0->4.2.
    Anyone else running into this, and is there anything else I should be looking at? Am I explaining the problem such that it's clear what I'm asking?
    Thanks,
    Geof

    I figured out the problem (for me, anyways). In Preferences > Junk Mail, make sure Junk filtering is enabled and make sure the "move it to junk mailbox" radio button is selected.

  • 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.

  • Apple Mail won't remember "Use this mailbox for ..." state

    I have all my devices up-to-date now, with my two Macs having the newest versions of Lion installed.
    I am trying to set up all my devices (2 Macs, iPhone, iPad) in a way that all my sent mails, drafts and deleted messages are always stored on the server.
    To do this, I have to define folders like the "Sent" folder in each email account (on the server) as the one to be used as the Sent folder on the Mac - quite easy. (From the Mailbox menu, I go to "Use this mailbox for ..." and then define what it should be used for).
    This worked fine on the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone/iPad (in the same iOS settings).
    Somehow though, whenever I define this on my Mac Pro Lion installation, it will revert to the old state (save them only on the local disk) whenever I restart the program. It will go back to saving the sent emails and drafts on the local disk, and all the folders reappear in the dropdown menu under the individual accounts on the right-hand side in Mail.
    It takes quite a long time to quite Mail too (although I am using an SSD), and Safari has been acting up lately as well (it goes back to a application state from January 4 whenever I restart it, so I see tabs and windows I browsed on that day). This might have to do with the fact that I copied my Keychain from my other Mac to the new one, but I can't figure out why ...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's driving me nuts because I need my email to be in sync at all times!

    Who is your email provider? I only ask because depending on who it is, you may or may not be able to do anything about the next paragraph.
    What method are you using to fetch your mail from the server - POP or IMAP? For what it sounds like you're asking to do, you should be using IMAP (which will keep things in check on all devices in all locations.) POP tends to be an all or nothing type of thing.
    Any time you start transferring things from other Macs (like preferences), you're asking for things to start acting odd.

  • How to "use this mailbox for"....in 10.8

    I am trying to designate a different mailbox for trash. However, prior posts which said to create the "new"  mailbox, select it , and then use the above mentioned menu selection do not appear to work in 10.8. All the selections for this menu item (including "using  this mailbox for trash" are grayed out and not selectable).
    Any thoughts?????

    I am on office 365, and these options are greyed out. IMAP doesn't seem to be an option. Any advice? I really prefer mac mail app to outlook, but being able to access my sent mail is also fairly crucial. thanks!!

  • "Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

    I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
    Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
    I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

    I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
    This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.

  • Use This Mailbox For...

    In mail under the mailbox menu, there's an item titled "Use This Mailbox For". All the options are grayed out. Why?

    It still doesn't explain why the contents of the "use this mailbox for" is greyed out.
    I noticed it first when installing Gmail (Seamless) but the same happens on Apple Mail.
    In fact the number of greyed out submenus is quite impressive, and not just due to items not being highlighted.
    it seems to me that some features were not activated during setup.
    Is it because most people use another client that there has been such a sparse response to this question?

  • Use This Mailbox for... not working for Yahoo Bulk Mail

    Hello!
    I have a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, both running Mountain Lion.  My two Yahoo mail accounts are successfully set up via Mail on both Macs.  I was able to use the "Use this Mailbox for..." command to assign the Drafts, Sent and Trash for each account to the respective Yahoo folders (so I don't have duplicate folders). The problem is trying to do the same for the Bulk Mail folders.
    On my Mac Pro, I was able to successfully select the Yahoo Bulk Mail folders for each account and use "Use this Mailbox for... --> Junk" and it worked, no problems.  On the MacBook Pro, however, when I attempt to do the same thing, it doesn't seem to take.  Nothing happens...the Bulk Mail folder in each account remains separate in each account's folders, instead of moving up under the Mailboxes above the VIPs, Drafts, Sent and Trash.
    I've tried Rebuilding the mailboxes, and eventually deleting the accounts and re-adding them to Mail on the MBP...still can't get the Bulk Mail folders to assign to Junk.  The others (Drafts, Sent, Trash), no problems.
    Suggestions?

    Well, after literally months of searching, and trying to find different search terms to find the answer, I finally solved it.
