Apple :: Mail -Trying To Schedule A Move Of All Inbox Messages To An Archive Folder On A Different IMAP Server
Jan 18, 2010
I've got a couple of accounts set up in Mail, and I'm anal about keeping a clean inbox. Is there any plugin of which I'm unaware that can automatically move messages in either server's inbox into an archive folder of my choosing, depending on the account?
way to transfer messages from mac mail to Outlook 07 other than using an Imap account or setting up an Imap server plugin in outlook? I have to move ALOT of machines over and all have thousands of e-mails.
Is there a proven method to import Windows Mail (Windows7) folders and mail messages into Mail? This would be just about the final step required for me to ditch Windows altogether.....
we have server at work and we trying to have a folder on ut that anyone can access. the problem is everytime you clic on the short cut it will ask you to log on to the server,
can I creat a shared folder hat doesn't require loging on every single time.
Every time I get junk mail it says "mail thinks this is junk mail" But i never want to see the email at all. Its taking space on a list thousands of messeges long. Is there any way to use mail to block messeges from verizon, gap, best buy, etc all together? Or do I just have to unsubscribe from the 50 mailing lists I am on manually
I've been using adium for sending messages to cells because MSN doesn't support it in OSX and my cell account only has 200 to it and I won't pay anymore for it, the reason I don't like adium is because I keep getting people sending me messages that I don't know and I try to block them but they keep coming, So is there another messenger app that I could use in OSX for SMS's
I set up mail with my Gmail account but I don't want it to download all my messages. Is there a way to set a limit to how many messages get stored in the computer? I have way too many messages and don't want to waste hard disk space.
Is there any way to make your mac mail passworded? Isn't it no -secure to have your inbox readily available at all times especially for work? How can you "close" mail and make it as for a password to open it?
I have tried since last night to configure my mac mail. I have read that I need to click "mail" then "preferences". However, "preferences" and most everything else is shaded. Does anyone have a clue why this might be?
I stopped using Thunderbird and switched to Mail entirely after I moved from Windows to Mac. Everything looks and works great. The only thing I am having problems is the "attachments" with the Mail software. All I want is just to add a file to a message. However, Mail puts everything inline with the text, tries to create preview of the pdf in the message (which doesn't work with complex pdf files that require "full" Acrobat), etc etc. For instance, today I had to send a pdf file before a 5:00PM deadline. It was around 4:55, I added the pdf to the message, and what I got was "Please wait while we generate the preview for your attachment" inline with the text. It didn't allow me to send the message, neither I wanted to send it without making sure that the attachment was added. It was stuck at that stage for about 30 seconds. Long story short, I sent it using Thunderbird and made it before the deadline. This may work great with inserting pictures into messages, but in situations like this, it doesn't...
Is there a way to have the attachments in an "attachment" box (similar to Thunderbird) without all the hoopla? In addition, my replies and forwards are sent as an attachment, even though I chose to include it in the main body of the message. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
So I decided to use Thunderbird as my main mail app. I've set it as my primary mail app through the settings.
But every time I put the mbp to sleep and wake it back up, Mac Mail opens even though its not my main mail application. Is there any way to disable this?
I just migrated from W7 to OS X and love it so far but was wondering if there was a way to have the folders show thumbnails instead of just the plain blue folder. Maybe I'm just spoiled because later versions of Windows had that. [url]
how to organize files in folders by date modified by when i modified it. I know that you can right click and use "arrange by date modified" but that sometimes arranges the files when they were modified online and not by me. I know on windows when i use Arrange by last modified it arranges it according to the date when i last downloaded it or opened it, not by when it was modified online. I would like to be arrange by date last opened or used by me.
Saw this tip on another site and figured others may find it useful and wanted to pass it along.

Tip: Using The New Automatic Import Folder In iTunes 9
10:26 am, September 10th, 2009, Giles Turnbull
iTunes 9 has neat little new feature: it will automatically import any music or videos you throw into a specific folder.
That folder is called “Automatically Add to iTunes”, and after installing iTunes 9 you’ll find it tucked away inside your “~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/” folder.
Anything you drag into it will be imported into iTunes immediately – and it’s worth noting that the original file (the one you put into the Automatic folder) promptly disappears afterwards. It doesn’t get trashed, but moved to the appropriate place inside the iTunes Music folder.
I know it sounds Outlook-ish, but I think it'd be nice to be able to have my calendar and contacts show within Apple Mail -- that way, everything is right there in one window, and any changes I make are synced to Gmail / GCal, since that's the source of my calendar and contacts.
Have only found one reference to a since-defunct piece of software. Can this be done, preferably via freeware -- or even software options I missed?
I just bought a macbook! Yah, but I've already hit a snag... a notebook is only good if it contains my music library! so seeing as I have everything on my PC and I already have the network folders set up... I tried ot copy my music (3.71GB) onto my mac, but my mac can only see 945MB of it and that's all it will copy. it can see and copy my video's folder(195GB). but only a fraction of the music!
My concern is twofold 1. because these tapes are proprietary, if the drive goes down, the tape can't be read by any other machine. I had this happen a couple of years ago when the tape drive broke and because it was discontinued, I have all 5 daily tapes that could no longer be read and cost almost $100 each. Luckily I have never had to restore from a tape, but if I did, I would have been out of luck.
2. The cost. These drives are expensive. Would it not make more sense to have a couple of 16gig USB flash drives to rotate through. They are more portable and I can do a restore on any networked machine.
Or we can simply do a backup to a networked drive. I like the flash drive better than the last option because it can be moved to a safe part of the office to protect against a water pipe burst or something like that. the total data requiring backup is just under 1 gig
How do I move the active app on the screen with some keyboard shortcuts?
I really need some application that will move my windows where I want right away, resizing them at the same time.
My specific scenario is: I use an external 27" LCD with the MBP; I keep connecting and disconnecting the laptop over a day at work several time.
The problem is: I set up a window to be "that big" and to be on "that" part of the display, I set up other windows next to the first one (usually all documents, need to compare them side by side) and it looks and works fine on the big screen, but when I disconnect they are not keeping the side-by-side position (smaller of course, to fit on the 15" MBP display).
My wish: to press something like Ctrl+1 to move the active window to position 1,1 on the screen, with the windows size of 960 & 600; Ctrl+2 to move the active window to position 961, 1, with the size of 960x600. This way I would get the 2 windows side by side really easy.
I found several apps doing this(and much more) for Finder, but nothing for any window of any application that runs on Mac ...
I have no idea how hard is to code this on a Mac, fairly new with Macs; but I am ready to purchase a small utility that will accomplish those tasks ..
I finally upgraded to snow leopard and noticed that when I zoom into the screen, I can't move the zoomed-in portion of the screen around like I did in Leopard. Is there a way to enable movement?
I have a Lenovo Y510P, and i want to make a backup. But in the User Manual it says that i should select System Backup in the NOVO interface, but there is no such option. In This thread it says that there's a Metro shortcut, but i am with Windows 7.  EDIT: My computer DID NOT come with preinstalled windows.
How did this show up on my network? It's a private network, and I'm the only one that uses the network that would know how to create a server, and nobody I know would name it "truestoneimage". How do I get rid of it so it doesn't appear in Finder? Why is it showing up at all?
Weird question, but: why is it that in Apple Mail, I can set an outgoing font to 15-point Calibri and have it look identical to an incoming Office 2007 user's message sent from Outlook (and in fact, "show fonts" shows it as 15-point Calibri), but in Word 2008, if I were to set it to 15-point Calibri, it would be huge compared to what I remember it as in Office 2007?
Its default in Office '07 is 11 point, if memory serves. To my eyes, 10-point zoomed to 150% looks normal, but I definitely do not remember this.
Is this just a function of OSX's 72 dpi versus Windows's 96 dpi? I'd hate to send an email at 15-point Calibri, have it look like an 11-point Calibri message in Outlook '07 on the Windows size, and end up having my recipient get an email with a HUGE font.
I've looked at messages I've sent using 14- or 15-point Calibri in Outlook 2010 in Windows 7 via Boot Camp, and it looks like I'd expect 11-point Calibri to look.
