Where is Mail folder in 10.9.4

I upgraded to 10.9.4. I'm trying to backup my mail to an external backup drive. Prior to upgrade, I could drag the Mail folder to external drive. Now I can't find a Mail folder on my hard drive. Where is it? I just want to do a manual drag and drop backup. Thanks!

You Can't Create A Mail Folder For POP Accounts?

I can't believe that I am unable to create a folder for a POP email account so that I can file and manage my email on the iPhone 3g! Which rocket scientist at Apple made this decision? What happend to the "manage email on iPhone" Use Case?
So, how do i use the iPhone for email if all i can do is load the last 200 emails into the inbox?

You cannot have POP3 mailboxes on the iPhone. You can have IMAP mailboxes but you must create them on another client such as your desktop.
Even if you could create POP3 mailboxes there would be no way to sync them with your desktop. the POP3 protocol does not support mailboxes; it was developed at a time when having mail on your desktop was unusual, and no one at the time ever thought you would have more than one computer to read mail with.
One workaround is to get a free gmail account and set it to read your ISP mail. You can then set up the iPhone to sync with gmail via IMAP.

Where does "Mail" Folder live in Leopard?

It's always been Users > Home > Library
Just got a MP G5 and have my old mac connected via firewire, transferring files, pictures etc. In the past I simply loaded my "Mail" Folder into the Home Folder's Library opened Mail app and voila everything exactly how it was on the other machine. Not with Leopard after i moved the Mail Folder into the G5's Library and launch Mail it wants me to set up the acct. as if I was starting a a new as a fresh user.
Any ideas?

(Discussions says I can't edit my posts?!)

How do i create a mail folder for my iphone 5c

I need to make multiple folders in mail but I do not know how to do this. Can anyone help me? I appreciate your time.

Hello Husker2759,
The iPhone User Guide details the steps for creating mailboxes on your iPhone.
Organize your mail with mailboxes. Tap Edit in the mailboxes list to create a new one, or to rename or delete one. (Some built-in mailboxes can’t be changed.) There are several smart mailboxes, such as Unread, that show messages from all your accounts. Tap the ones you want to use.

Monitor folder for importing files

Does iTunes have a feature similiar to MS Media Player that will monitor a selected folder and automatically import any new music?

yes I am not sure if you have to enable it or not, but there are little folders named like '90's songs' or 'top 25 most played', or 'top rated' that put songs that belong to these categories in the folder.

Where is plugins folder for cc14

How do I install a program into filter in cc14. Where is the plugin

The term "CC14" is ambiguous. Do you mean Photoshop CC 14.x, Photoshop CC 2014.0, or Photoshop CC 2014.1?
If you're referring to Photoshop CC 2014.0 or 2014.1, on a 64 bit Windows system:
32 bit plug-ins go here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (32 Bit)\Plug-ins
64 bit plug-ins go here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Plug-ins

Where is my mail folder in time machine?

For the first time today I've backed up using Time Machine, on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8.
When I check the external harddrive I've backed up to, I can see/discern all my MacBook Pro files except emails. Mail only appears in a folder called Applications as the application itself. A friend using Yosemite says within the Users folder he can drill down to a Mail folder that houses the emails. He also says he's never failed to get his emails back when he's restored from his Time Machine back-up. My Users folder does not have a Mail folder.
Can anyone reassure me that my emails are backed up somewhere, or direct me to where they are?

It is highly unusual that your Mail does not appear in your Library folder. Somehow, it would seem that you've told the Mail application to store the mail in a non-standard location.
Ok, the first thing is to make sure we're talking about the same "Library" folder. You have at least two. One is at the root of your startup drive, and is the Library folder for the whole system. The other is user-specific, and belongs to you, but is inaccessible to other users on the Mac (of which there may be none).
From a unix file system perspective the two Library folders (directories) exist in these two places:
/Library
/Users/user_name/Library
Your Mail folder should be in the second one. If it's truly not there, then you could find it by opening the Terminal application and run the following command:
mdfind -name Outbox.mbox
That should show you where Mail's outbox is, and therefore where your Mail folder is. Once you know that location, you can then check your Time Machine drive, using the instructions I provided in my previous post, to find and confirm that Time Machine is backing up your mail.

User Mail folder under Lion Server? Where....?

Does anyone know where the mail Postbox in the lion Server file system are stored if i use open Directory?
The local users have the mail folder in their home folder, (user/Mail/Dovecot/cur/) but where is the folder for the Domain Users?
Hint: i use MailServeForLion ;-)
Thx a lot

Ha,
i´ve found it.
The User must login once, then the folder mail will be create in the home folder.
But why did i have no access to my own mail folder as normal User? The Folder Icon is shown with a red -
Anyone?
Thx

Does yahoo push not work for bulk mail folder?

I don't seem to be having any problems with yahoo push in my Inbox, but it doesn't seem to be working for my bulk mail. I have to actually go into my bulk mail folder for it to update. Is this normal? Thanks!

That is normal activity. Works the exact same way on tests phones we have set up. Bulk/junk mail is not something that all would like getting pushed through.

Where is mail stored? etc...

I got a few quick questions...
I want to make backups of all the email on our server (we use IMAP accounts)... Where are the files stored?
Also, any suggestions on a good offsite backup program? I want to have a drive at home that automatically backs up the server at work every night... I could backup the whole server once when I'm at work... after that, when the drive is at home, it only backs up files that have been changed... since i am remotely backing up, i should back up incrementally like that right?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi:
No doubt others will give their opnions on what and how to back up as well as what to use.
Briefly Mail is stored in either an outgoing queue awaiting transfer to a remote server or in a local mail store accessible by local mail users. Outgoing mail messages are stored, by default, in the following spool directory on the startup disk: /var/spool/postfix. This location is temporary and the mail is stored until its transferred out. These locations can be moved to any accessible volume, either local or NFS mounted and symlinked to by the mail administrator. The Mail Service keeps track of incoming mail messages with a database, but the database doesn’t contain the messages themselves; the Mail Service stores each message as a separate file in a mail folder for each user. Incoming mail is stored on the startup disk in the following directory: /var/spool/imap/user/whatever the user name is. Cyrus puts a database index file in the folder of user messages. You can change the location of any or all of the mail folders and database indexes to another folder, disk, or disk partition. You can even specify a shared volume on another server as the location of the mail folder and database. Be careful if you decide to use a shared volume as things can slow down a bit. You should not use NFS for remotely mounted filesystems. Incoming mail remains on the server until its deleted.
You could also enable IMAP for all users that have their accounts enabled for mail. This way all mail is kept on the server until its deleted by the administrator or by the users, if you decide to go for this option as well then /var/imap is the database and /var/spool/imap is the mail store.
As for backup it depends on what you want to spend. Retrospect is a cheap solution that will do the incremental backup that you seem to want. Its been around for a long time and for most people its the first thing they turn to especially on the Mac platform. However its not perfect its slightly limited in its functions and there are problems with it running on the Intel platform, specifically Xserves. It can be ran remotely and supports a variety of devices. There are numerous others which others I’m sure will mention.

OS X 10.5.6 Junk Mail Folder won't let me see inside

I posted this question already this morning but the post is now missing.... I need help. I deleted a tabbed folder attached to the junk mail folder without realizing that that folder was the junk mail folder for my account. Now, I can see that there is Junk mail (it says 25) but when I hit the Junk Mail folder icon, it shows that folder is missing.... I need to get the 2 re-connected so that I can see the contents of this folder.
If I go to the Finder and open the Junk Mail folder in my user/lib/mail account, I can view the junk mail if I drag them over the Mail application icon.
How can I get the Junk mail folder "reintialized" ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Lori
I can't get any lower than my documents folder. I have multiple folders inside my documents folderFirstly, I take it you have clicked the disclosure triangle to the right of the "Save As" box? This should then show you a list of folders. Double click on one, and you'll see it's content, including other folders that you can double click, to as low a level as you like.
Is there something I need to set in System Preferences?No, this should be standard behaviour.

"Import Mailboxes" can't see IMAP inbox in backup Mail folder

So, a friend of mine thought he'd be efficient and, via the webmail interface, deleted all the messages in the Inboxes of two IMAP accounts (hosted by Fatcow). He did not understand that this would delete all the messages in the inboxes on his computer, too. He understands IMAP better now that we've had a talk!*
We have a backup copy of his ~Library/Mail folder, and I thought it would be a piece of cake to use Import Mailboxes to reimport those missing messages back into Mail, from where he could drag them back into the Inboxes in the cloud. Being a Mac consultant, I have done this very thing many times.
However, no matter what we do, the Import Mailboxes dialog will not offer those two inboxes in the list of mailboxes to choose from. We see all the other boxes, including two inactive POP accounts. When we look inside the backup Mail folder in the Finder, we can open the IMAP folder for each account and burrow down to the actual messages. The hierarchy there is kind of too deep, perhaps because the IMAP Path Prefix in his account preferences is incorrect--one of the accounts has the final Inbox with the messages inside another Inbox folder inside the IMAP account folder**. This is the only reason I can think of that Import Mailboxes would not be able to see those inboxes. Does anyone know if it would work if I moved the final Inbox folder higher up in the hierarchy?
Thanks very much for any assistance.
*Please don't ask why he wasn't using Time Machine. He will be, very soon.
**I can't reproduce it exactly here because I was working with him over a LogMeIn connection, as he's in another state. Geographically speaking, not emotionally.

in finder rename the backup imap inbox from INBOX.imapmbox to INBOX.mbox. then Mail will let you import it if you choose it directly when importing mail.
