Where is the mail folder use/library in MacOS X 10.7.5 in a Mac Air?

I would like to know how to find the folder wher the mail application is storing the mails in the MacOS X 10.7.5
I know is somewhere in mail/ library, but I am unable to find it. Perhaps is hiden and I don't know how to locate it.
Thank you very much.

Actually it's in youruser/Library/Mail. The user's Library folder is hidden by default in 10.7 and later, but if you go to Finder, hold down the Option key, and select the Go menu, the Library folder will be shown in the dropdown list and you can open it from there.
Regards.

  • Where is the mail folder in Mtn. Lion?

    I am setting up Time Machine to back up the files on my iMac.  I want to exclude Applications, the System, and related files for space reasons, but want to make sure that I get a backup of my e-mail files.  I have searched for the MAIL folder but can't find it.  What is the path to where the e-mails are stored in Mountain Lion?  Thanks 

    Hmm - out of curiosity - would the User Library be part of the System deep down in the file hierarchy?
    @ ReidMac:
    Not sure if excluding the System (or Applications for that matter) would be wise - it may prevent you from being able to restore from Time Machine in case your system is borked? If size is of concern - and since Time Machine keeps making backups until the disk/partition is full - have you considered a different backup strategy, such as a bootable clone which needs exactly the same amount of space as your system currently uses?

  • Where is the mail folder in 10.8

    I recently changed from 10.6.8 (snow leopard) to 10.8 (mountain lion).  In 10.6, in the finder window, under the library tab, there was a folder for "Mail".  I was able to copy the folder "Mail" and take it to another computer I have at a different location and keep both computers synched.
    In 10.8, the Mail folder is not there. 
    Where is the application Mail, storing the mail folders with their content?  I want to do the same thing of synching another computer with all of my current mail boxes and content.
    Lee

    It did work!
    Thank You.
    I did notice that the "Mail" folder in the Library maintains the same date, (the date when I installed Mountain Lion, June 11 2013 6:15 PM) even after there are updates and new E-mails comming in.
    The size of the folder does change when I delete (put into trash E-mails) or receive new E-mails, but the date of "date modified" never changes. It stays on June 11, 2013 6:15PM.
    Because the date never changes, it makes it hard to know when i look into "Time Machine", which is the most current Mail folder.
    HELP PLEASE!

  • Where is the Services folder in Library in Lion?

    I used Terminal to make my Library folder appear, but there's no Services folder inside. I'm pretty sure there used to be one.

    Dan, there are two Library folders, one visible to all users, the other visible to the logged-in user, that is the one you do not normally see in Lion, must press Option/Alt Key.
    You may have Services folder in both, as you may have other folders with identical name inside the Library folder. The difference is that one makes things visible to all users, the other to the logged-in user only, the difference being important if there are more users with the same computer.

  • HT204093 Where is my mail folder on my mac

    Okay I hope to make sense here....
    I had all my mail in the icloud.  I then created a folder on my mac for mail older than 6 months.  Then mail that was older than 6 months in cloud I moved to my mac. 
    In mail I had renamed the older than 6 month folder.  I still see my old mail in mail.  I can't find the corresponding folder on mac, or when I do it really is odd size.  Mail in folder on mac is housing 10 years worth of email and coming in at 300MB when I think it would be way bigger, like 1 TB.
    I created a new folder in mail, but I can't find the coorseponding folder in documents---> mail folder.
    Where is the mail folder on the mac?  Where does it naturally default too?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Thank you of the quick reply and I kind of now have more info. 
    Since posting my question I "exported" the mailbox and voila, 2.6GB of info.  So I think I have some solution. 
    "Are you desiring to Archive mail older than six months and remove that from Mail?" Not from Mail, but the iCloud, but when I did remove from icloud, I want to make another back up, even though I have time machine.  I want to basically burn a DVD or put old email on other storage media.
    "With a better understanding of your goal -- I can help you to a solution." Okay great, appreciate it! I hope I made/make sense.
    "If you haven't done a Rebuild lately, I'd highly recommend you start there:"  Ummm  I've never rebuild.... so I also wanted to back up the data before I rebuild I think, right?  I have no other copy, these emails were removed from the iCloud, and put in a mail folder on my mac (which I can't find the mailbox (mbox) on the mac, user name--->documents---> mail folder---> there is no corresponding mbox that I just created, this folder/get info says circa 2012), so the mail on my mac is not copied from iCloud. Technically I do have the time machine backup.... but you never know if that gets corrupted.
    So my thought prior to rebuild is to export, as a back up, then rebuild?  As to mailbox naming, since I have no idea where the corresponding folders are on my mac, exporting first, might be best option.  If I rebuild, will that break or possibly lose data?
    Thoughts?

  • Where is the Junk Folder in Mavericks Mail?

    Apple swapped out busted hard drive and installed 10.9.5. Where is the Junk Folder in Mail??? I've now spent about a half hour searching for the answer and no joy. Please help.

  • How to Limit Search Scope to the Exclude the Mail Folder

    When I do a search of my computer for a document by a portion of its name (e.g. "Target"), the search finds the original document in the folder which has a name I recognize (which is good), and also as many versions attached to email messages in a folder buried as follows: Library>Mail>Pop-account>Sent Messages>Attachments>Target Document.
    I prefer that the Mail folder not be searched at all. Is there a way I could exclude the Mail folder from the search? If so, how?
    Thanks.
    Ira

    Thanks, Mike. But that does not solve my problem, which I probably did not describe with sufficient detail. Spotlight (i.e., the magnifying glass at the top right corner) is not the type of search I find useful. The "Command-F" search is what I use, and that is where I need the solution.
    So, any solution out there?
    Thanks, again.

  • Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

    I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
    Thank you!

    At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
    There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
    You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
    And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
    And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
    User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
    Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
    Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
    Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
    Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

  • What does the HSTS.plist file in the Cookies folder in /Library ?

    What does the HSTS.plist file in the Cookies folder in /Library ?
    If I open it in TextEdit it is filled with sites I never have visited.
    Does anybody know where this file is used for ?
    Thanks

    I also have this file in the same folder in the same location with two other 'documents' called:
    1. com.apple.appstore.cookies
    2. Cookies.binarycookies
    Document type shows as 'OOPlistDocumentType'.
    Yes lots of website addresses and at least one known spam tel number. The top line of the text when opened by TexEdit is as follows:

  • Where is the Hidden folder in photos?

    I Migrated my pics from iPhoto to Photos. I've read that the pictures will appear in a "Hidden" folder...not in Moments or Albums. Where is the Hidden folder? I cannot find.

    Hi Ohohum,
    Happy Holidays!  The resource below will review the migration process from iPhoto to Photos for iOS.  If you have any hidden photos, they will be in an album called Hidden.  Click on the links below for complete details.  I've summarized some of the key information relating to your question below:

You see a My Photo Stream album if you use that feature (see My Photo Stream). If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, you have an All Photos album, which includes all your photos and videos in iCloud (see iCloud Photo Library beta); if you don’t use iCloud Photo Library beta, the Camera Roll album includes photos and videos you took with iPhone or saved to iPhone from other sources.
    Hide photos you want to keep but not show. Touch and hold a photo, then choose Hide. The photo is moved to the Hidden album. Touch and hold a hidden photo to Unhide it.
    Remove a photo or video from an album. Tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo. The photo is removed from the album and from the Photos tab.

  • Can I move the MAIL folder off my System drive?

    Hi there,
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and using Apple's MAIL email.
    I have a very small 32gig SSD on my Mac G5 8 Core and the folder in USERS>(My name)>LIBRARY>MAIL is 11GB in size. I'd like to move this to a different internal drive, but I imagine if I do so I will find that my mail doesn't work.
    Can anyone help me with the correct procedure for getting this folder off my SSD and onto a different internal drive?
    Maybe if I moved the MAIL application and that MAIL folder to a different internal drive it would work ok? Or can I continue to run the MAIL program from the SSD and move the MAIL folder, the program will find it?
    Any ideas greatly appreciated.
    With thanks,
    Harry.
