Where does Mail store its todos?

Where does Mail store its todos? I'm trying to restore lost todos from time machine. help!

I also found my to-do's for my imap account in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).imap/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics.
In addition, I found to-do's created in iCal in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics. Scroll through the files in the events folders, find the date created or due date of the to-do and double click it. It will take you to the to-do in iCal.
In general, the to-do's will be in the Events folder of the Calendar they were created in. The iMap to-do's add another layer to the file structure.

Where does Mail store its email files

hi there, I'm having a bit of an email crisis.
background: I have a MacBook Pro circa 2012 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with over 28 or 29GB of free space.
For email, I have a primary address through Cox Cable and some secondary Cox Cable email accounts for junk mail and the like. Recently, there was some recurring difficulty retrieving the Cox emails. The Mail program would open up and look for the Cox Cable email accounts and variously fail to connect with any of them. The Mail program would tell me that it was unable to access the account and suggest I enter my password.
I decided to delete the accounts and set them up again to see if doing so would grab the most current SMTP settings, etc.. Doing so, I may have accidentally deleted from local storage (on my computer) my old archive of sent and received mail (going back to 2006). More on that later.
When establishing the settings in Mail for the cox accounts, I left the feature on where Mail would leave the the emails on my Cox email server (which only uses 7% of its space currently). This seemed to correct the retrieval errors I was getting before. Something else strange happened. Sometimes when I would send mail, it would send, I'd hear the whooshing sound, but it would not store a copy of it in my sent email folder. In most cases, the recipients confirmed receipt. This would only happen with some sent mail. Others would be deposited into the Sent mail folder in Mail as usual.
Questions:
(1) Where does OS X store the Mail email files? I can't find any folder with an xbox file or any other file.
(2) How can I find out if my missing email archive doesn't exist somewhere else on my laptop right now and my Mail program can't find it.
(2) If I well and truly deleted the archive not only from my Mail program but also from my laptop, am I able to import my email archive from my external hard drive where it was backed up? I'd like to leave the archive in an archive folder in Mail so that I can see it and search it when necessary without having to plug in my external drive and also so there are two copies of this email archive.
Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

hi. update. I found the hidden Library folder where the mbox email files are located as follows:
click on your finder to open it
click the GO command from the drop down menu and before clicking again press and hold down the option key. that reveals in the Go drop-down menu the hidden Library folder. Click on that Library folder to open it.
from there, look for a sub folder called Mail
click on that and see a sub folder called V2.
click on that and you'll find subfolders for the email accounts you've established, inside which are the .mbox files that represent those email databases.
however, once inside there, I found no .mbox files for the old archived files and so I think that I goofed and well and truly deleted the old POP emails when switching from POP to IMAP about two weeks back.
the good news is that I was backing up somewhat regularly via Time Machine to an external drive. So I recovered the old POP emails into an separate INBOX and SENT MAIL archive that now sits again on my Mac in my Mail program, somewhere below the active mail folders I use daily.
The POP email protocol was lately prone to these 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages and that's what prompted me to try to change my settings. When I did, I must have found that Cox email now supports IMAP for residential customers and made the switch from POP to IMAP, inadvertently deleting the old POP email.
The IMAP protocol resolved the 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages that Mail used to give me under the POP protocol. But left the problem of certain sent mails not being stored immediately in my local sent mail folder on my Mac.
unresolved questions are:
i generally liked switching from POP to IMAP because my email on my phone and laptop are more apt to be in sync and coordinated, and it resolved the connection/password problems I had with POP. I'd like to keep on IMAP. I have experienced the occasional missing sent mail. So far as I can tell, when sending the email from my laptop, I hear the swoosh of sent mail and the recipients do receive it but a copy if not always delivered into my local sent mail folder. a copy of it is stored on the Cox email server, however.
any workaround that issue? It leaves me wondering sometimes whether the mail was sent or received and I also need a record of all email sent on my laptop for future reference.
is it possible this missing sent mail only happens when there are attachments? it doesn't happen every time. I've noticed it has happened when I've sent emails with attachments.
any help you can give is appreciated!

Where does Mail store its passwords?

HI there, I am running into little trouble with mail here.
Can anybody tell me, where it stores the passwords for my account?
is it in preferences or in keychain somewhere?
thanks!

Hi Alexander,
It depends how you setup your system ... in the language I mean.
If you for example are a German than it would called something like "Slußel ..." or Dutsh "Sleutelhangertoegang" and you will find it in the Utilities folder.
Hope this will help you.

Where does mail store downloaded photos

Where does mail store downloaded photos?

If I understood you... you can export your entire iPhoto library to an external Hard Drive? I could only see import option...
You're welcome. Yes, that is correct. In iPhoto, File > Export... > Select external drive.
You said your drive has to be specially formatted - is that for if you want to export your photos to that drive? Or do you mean if you wanted the iPhoto library to be located primarily on the hard drive?
I meant the latter > specifically, your external drive would need to be formatted in this manner if you wanted your primary iPhoto library to reside on an external drive and function correctly. This format is the format of your MBP's internal drive.
Format the drive as FAT32 using disk utility to make the drive universally compatible between OSX/windows. Place the JPEG images on the drive. Transfer between machines with no problem.

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

Hi..
If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
Go to ~/Library/Safari
Look for the History.plist file.
Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

Where does ODI stores its varaible values if the type is Text

Hi All,
I have already wasted my 2 to 3 hour just trying to find "where does ODI stores its value for variables if type is text". Certainly "SNP_VAR" is not the anwser.
Following ways I have tried:
(1) Cannot find any column tat can hold more than 400 characters in my work repository.
(2) Trying to set up trace on Oracle drive to find out sql getting issues when we hit refresh button on ODI variable. Is anyone aware how to trace driver sqls ?
Regards,
amit

Hi Amit,
When it is a text variable it is stored at SNP_EXP_TXT in so many records as necessary once the text is "broken" in blocks of 256 character lenght. It means that if the variable has a text with 700 characters you will find 3 records at SNP_EXP_TXT.
Does it help you?

Where does iweb store its gallery information?

In which file does iWeb store the information which allows it to construct a gallery page?
I have a site with a Gallery page, which I publish to a local folder, then upload to an ftp server for a live website (www.ayrmodelboatclub.org)
When I update the gallery by adding a new gallery page, iWeb updates the initial gallery menu page showing the little photobooks of all my galleries.
If I publish to a local folder, I can go to the gallery and double-click gallery.html which then displays the page correctly in my browser. If I upload the Gallery folder to the site, then go to the site and choose Gallery, it goes to an older version of the page. I can't see how that is possible, but I figured it must be because I have not updated a file which tells iWeb which gallery thumbnails to display on the page (or perhpas the number of thumbnails to display).
I can't find that file.
I have tried updating Gallery.html an streamloader.html and Scripts and the Media folder.
I have also tried uploading the whole Gallery folder again (an again, and again) but can't get it to update.
I have had this problem time and again, on more than one site.
What am I doing wrong?
If I set iWeb to update the site directly, it creates a folder within the site, called AMBC (the name of the site within iWeb) and that functions perfectly, but because it is a folder within the main site directory, it adds AMBC to the addresses, so anyone who has bookmarked the pages can't see then because the address has changed.
If I delete all the files on the server, except the functioning AMBC folder, then take everything out of the AMBC folder and put it at the top level, that fixes the addresses, but the old version of the Gallery now displays instead. I think it may not be the old version, but may be simply the wrong number of thumbnails that are being displayed and iWeb is reding one too few thumbnails. But where is that information stored?
I'd appreciate any help with this. It's driving me daft.

I just went through this with a GoDaddy site. I think I am on the track to the answer, since the site is now working correctly. There are a couple of areas where failure to update occurs that I have found so far. iWeb saves all it data in a single file called domain. It has a default location but you can move it and have several 'domain' files for separate sites. Iweb will default to the last used domain file. Just double click on the one you want to use.
The main concept:
On your computer the file can be loaded properly, but on the web it is wrong. Remember, that when the HTML is written out by iWeb, it creates a name_files folder and puts stuff in there. The name_files may be in a different relative location from its location on your computer.
In iWeb you set up the location of your site to publish to. Remember that it creates the site each time, so you actually select the location above your 'Name' site in the hierarchy, which is often 'Sites' on a Mac. So don't choose 'Name' as your location, chose 'Sites.' The links will work within the 'Name' location but will not work if a link strays outside that location after you publish it. If you publish to 'Name' then your new site will be 'Name' inside your already published 'Name' site. When you look at the site you may not realize that although you can see the new file in a location similar to the location on your Mac, the file that is linked to by your published page will be the one inside the Name_files folder on the top level of your host site, not inside a folder which is inside a folder....
If you FTP, then in iWeb, choose publish entire site rather than publish changes, and drag the entire site to the upload window of your FTP client, and replace all the old files. If you don't want to do that, then if you are using an FTP client such as Transmit, you can actually rename the old files on the server and keep them as backups. You can also drag files around on the server directly, but you will break any links to them in any old pages that are not updated.
Probably something I explained is wrong, but my GoDaddy site is updating properly anyway. :-D At first I was copying the corrections into every name_files folder on the GoDaddy site, until I realized that iWeb would do that for me properly if I published everything and replaced everything.
Sorry I am confused about this myself!

Where does iCal store its calendars?

If I want to back up an iCal calendar onto something like a USB flashdrive where would I find it? Since I am not using Lion, I do not have iCloud capability.

Mike,
Calendar data for Mac OS X 10.6 is stored in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder.
Using the iCal UI is IMHO, better than relying on the file system to backup your iCal files. The best way to backup iCal data is described in: How to back up iCal calendar data .

Where does Automator store its files?

I've created 2 identical Automator actions
I cant locate where they're stored to delete one of the duplicates
When I open, I get a choice of looking in the cloud or on device
It's not in either location
I've tried searching using Spotlight and Finder for the name I used, but cant find anything
Where am I going wrong?
I assume to get rid of the duplicate, I need to locate and delete the file - if not, how do I get rid of?
Thanks
Omar

Where does Mail gets its addresses?

This isn't a trick question. A friend's email starts with his initials. I've typed it many times. But now, when I type those three letters, instead of one of his two email addresses, I just get To: three letters. No @, no nothing else.
I would like to find, and delete, that three-letter designation, but I can't find it anywhere.

You can find it in Mail > Window > previous recipients. In the new window will be a list that you can remove any unwanted email addresses. The icon next to the name indicates it's in your address book.

Where does GB store its sample files?

I'd like to remove some of them.
Thanks
Peter

The easiest way to locate them is to do a Spotlight search for one of them. GB may store them in different folders:
- /Library/Application Support/Garagband/Apple Loops ...
- /Library/Audio/Apple Loops ...
... and in the corresponding subfolders of your User Library.
If you trash some of them, they won't vanish from your Loop window in GB unless you discard the folder(s) Apple Loop Index (should be in the same folder as the loops), restart GB and drag the remaining loops back into the Loop window!
