Which is my iCloud mailbox folder?
When I view my folder ~/Library/Mail/V2/... then I see two seemingly duplicative mailbox folders that contain my icloud email folders that are saved on the icloud server via imap.
a) Folder "mac-[icloudname]"
b) Folder "aosIMAP-[icloudname]"
Both folders are several GB and appear to hold many messages. The first folder is approx 50% larger than the second folder.
Are these folders duplicative? (should I delete one?)
Should I remove my icloud account in Mail App and then re-add it?
Any guidance welcomed
Cheers, Ross
I need to export my contact list for my daughters upcoming wedding.
iCloud website doesn't let you export.
iPad doesn't let you export.
iPhone doesn't let you export.
MacBook Pro is OS X 10.6.8 can't even use iCloud.
Am I going to have to retype all these freakin' addresses? Come on now!

These 2 pics should further show/explain what I am talking about as I am not sure of the proper name for this process. -
when i try to set up icloud on my iphone 4S, i am asked for an email account, which i supply. icloud then saya to check my email for further instructions. The problem is, the email never arrives in my mailbox. Now my phone says "check email" and lists the proper email account that i supplied while trying to set up icloud, however, it is all 'grayed' out and no touch screen action can be performed.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. -
ICloud mailbox started to duplicate incoming POP mailbox
Friends,
A few days ago and without any changes to my configurations (as near as I remember), my iCloud IMAP mailbox has started to duplicate incoming mail from my POP ISP's mailbox. The incoming mail IS sent to my POP address BUT it appears in my iCloud mailbox as well. When I delete the mail in the IMAP box (iCloud) it is deleted from ALL devices which share my iCloud account, but remains in the POP box. This occurs on my iPhone, iPad and my desktop Mac - all with the same account settings. This is not really a big issue but sometimes it is annoying to have to wade thru 2 copies of each email. Any ideas?
Thanks & cheers,
Sam
P.S. as an addendum I just noticed that my duplicate messages are downloaded seperately and do not seem to be being duplicated on the machines. A message that just arrive addressed to my ISP's POP box arrived first in the iCloud IMAP box and moment later another copy arrived in the correct POP box. Maybe my iCloud account is checking mail on my POP account from within the cloud before my machines get to check?
Message was edited by: sam b.The only pattern I could establish was that emails after a certain date in one POP account only were all problematic (failed to move). When I rang the ISP who hosts that POP account they asked me to forward the full headers to see if there was any junk in the headers. They said sometimes that happens but they couldnb't find anything wrong with the headers. They said without a more specific error log they couldn't do anything.
It turns out they are finally offering IMAP on the server my account is hosted on and we switched from POP to IMAP which sorta helps, at least I have remote storage if I can recreate the folder structure on the IMPA account and have Mac Mail mirror it… I'm not too hopefully of that actually. Co-incidentally they added IMAP around the same time that I started getting this iCloud problem with emails on their account but they denie any assoication other than co-incidence and I couldn't estanblish exact chronological symetry anyhow.
My work around has been to host the folder “On My Mac” since I no longer need to share the folders b/w two Macs. I'll try to re-create in IMAP account like I said. If anyone has a way to get a more detailed error message from Mac Mail I'd be interested! -
The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD). But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message. I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
Thank you!While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up? I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr. -
Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files. -
How can I edit a word doc received in my icloud mailbox on my ipad?
how can I edit a word doc received in my icloud mailbox on my ipad?
You need a compatible app in which to save it such as Pages or Documents to Go.
Find an app that is compatible with Word that you want to purchase and then after you download that app - go to that email and you can select the "open In" option. Tap and hold down on the open document in the email and select "open In' and select the app that you purchased. -
My iCloud mailboxes do not show in mail
My icloud mailboxes do not appear in mail. I have reinstalled icloud several times.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results. -
I have three accounts set up in Thunderbird, two are unified and the third one isn't. I've looked through the setting in the tools-account settings for each of the three accounts but I cannot see anything that refers to unified folders. I have the view-folders button set to on.
I've seen a solution on your forums which reads:-
Help menu (Alt +H) > troubleshooting information Click the show folder button.
Close Thunderbird
open the mail folder open the smart mailboxes folder
Delete the inbox and inbox.msf files
Restart Thunderbird.
I don't understand why this solution should make all my inbox's unified, and I don't want to loose any emails.
Can anybody help please?
Response appreciated.Bonjour Crumbleey,
Excuse me, I don't understand your problem ... Can you describe it and tell me what you want to get ?
I have been using Thunderbirds for years now, I installed it in many PCs, I solved many problems using only the standard possibilities of Thunderbird, I never had any need to intervene in the emails files and folders.
If you want to delete an account which has its own set of folders, if you want to keep its emails, first move the emails in Local folders.

.icloud-drive file in root of iCloud drive folder
I have noticed a rather strange file in the root of my iCloud drive folder on iCloud.com
it is called .icloud-drive with the file extension of do-not-delete. ".icloud.drive.do-not-delete"
Does anyone else have this???Hello rhearob,
Apple did not mention or publish anything so far which indicates that it is possible to share iCloud Drive folders or to access iCloud Drive from multiple Apple IDs. As KiltedTim wrote, it could be that Apple is going to add additional functionalities to iCloud Drive once Yosemite is released, but as of today, nothing has been announced.
Best regards,

Mailbox folder with password protection?
Is it possible to create a mailbox folder that is password protected? That would be invaluable to me!
How about creating an additional computer login account without admin privileges named "Guest" for the occasional user and for a regular user, a login account based on the name of a regular user.
Enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process and disable automatic login for your admin account which requires manually entering your login account password during a computer startup, restart and with Fast User Switching.
When stepping away from your Mac, logout from your account switching to the Guest account or just log out. This way all data stored in your Home folder/directory is kept separate, private and protected from other users.
OS X was designed for multiple users of the same computer in this way. -
How to empty iCloud mailbox without deleting account
I have a Wi-Fi camera that emails me video clips every day. Those emails go into my iCloud mailbox. I've never deleted them and now my iCloud is full and I wanted to make room by deleting all the mail in the iCloud mailbox without deleting the account. is there any easy way to do this?
Thank you so much
GeorgeOpen your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
Note: this is permanent, and will delete the email from your devices/computers too, so be sure there isn't anything you want to keep. -
Cannot delete an mailbox folder from email client
Somewhere along the way I created a mailbox folder entitled Nøtz - that folder does not appear on any iOS devices nor in my Mac mail, it does however, show up in other email clients that I use such as Thunderbird, however, the folder is somehow invaild; likely due to the ø character in the name...
I don't need the folder and would like to delete it because it is giving these other email client fits... since I can't see it in iCloud, on my Mac, nor any iOS devices I can't delete it, it's like a phantom specter!!
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
GaryI also have this problem. I have it in every email client I use IMAP in (Thunderbird and Apple Mail). I used a non alpha numeric character (so not foreign, but I think one was a slash, the other may have been a dash or dot). I would LOVE to delete them, but the error says that these foldes 'don't exist on the server' but obviously, that's where they came from... (using GoDaddy and their interface in webmail does NOT show these folders, so I can't delete them there either). At a minimum, I would like to unsubscribe them or hide them, so they don't clog my left side folder navigation. Can you not hide folders in the sidebar in Apple Mail (Mavericks)?

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.
Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

-iPod touch Deleted Photo Recovery Tips You Should Know
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan
If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up. I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?
