OS X Mavericks :: Backing Up Email From Mac Mail
Jun 21, 2014
I'm running 10.9.3 and use Mac Mail to connect to an Exchange email account (Office 365). I want to back up all my mail and have been playing with the Export Mailbox feature. I have a few questions: Is there any way to back up more than one folder at a time?My Archive folder is quite big (35k messages). When I backed this up, it created 2 folders (Archive.mbox and Archive 2.mbox). The mbox file in mbox 2 is much larger (5.48GB vs 173KB).Is it normal that it would create to folders?Will this cause me any issues when doing a restore?I also backed up my Inbox and Sent Items and both were created in just one folder each.Are there any recommended tools for automatically backing up Mac Mail or is my best bet to do this manually?I'd love to find a cloud based tool where I can archive all my email and keep it secure and searchable in the cloud.

When I expand the Sent folder in Mail (directly below inbox), all my email folders from my yahoo mail account are there plus Sent.I also have all the same folders listed below that under my email address including sent and sent messages. Some outgoing messages are in "Sent" folder and some in "Sent Messages" folder.Not sure how this happened but I can not delete the folders under sent. I am hesitant to delete the Sent folder.

I am running OSX Mavericks and using Mac Mail. I have several email accounts set up including 2 different gmail accounts. My preferences are set up so that new messages are supposed to send from my primary gmail account. However, over the past couple of days, when I reply to a previous message or create a new message the message appears to be sending from my primary gmail account. That's the address that shows up in the box showing from which account the message is being created. The message uses the signature that is set up for my primary gmail account, and the message appears in the primary gmail account's Sent mail folder. However, when I look at the actual message that was sent (I tested this by sending it to another non-gmail account of mine), the From email address showing up is my secondary gmail account. So, replies are coming back to that secondary account, not the account from which I sent it.
I do not have this problem when sending messages from my iPhone or iPad, so I'm pretty sure it's strictly a Mac Mail problem.
I've checked the Preferences to ensure that my Composing settings have it set up to send from my primary gmail account, and it is set up that way. When composing the message, everything indicates that it will be sent from the primary gmail account, but instead it goes out as if coming from my secondary gmail account.
This is definitely a new problem. I've not updated anything on the Mac OS recently. The only updates that have been applied recently are a Flash Player update and an MS Office update. This problem started before either of those were applied, I believe. I know for sure it happened before the Office update.

I'm having major issues with my exchange email in mail. I upgraded to Mavericks. Everything was fine as usual until one random day in April. I've deleted the account and re-added it. Basically, it rebuilds the email library, but and shows new mail that would be on the server, but when I click on one the messages are completely blank except for the subject. I've tried to rebuild the mailbox. Restart mail. Reinstalled Mavericks.

I'm able to open the app but it won't display any of the actual details of my emails. When I try to open them standalone the app crashes too. Tried googling for fixes, most of them include Terminal which seemingly won't open anymore either.
Must note that I haven't deleted anything or downloaded anything untoward since this error started occurring.
Pasted from the error log of my mail app:
Process: Mail [1332]
Path: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Identifier: com.apple.mail

I had a notes section under mailboxes in mail. Within this notes section I had several named mailboxes that I used to store various emails. They are now missing from my mac when I converted to Maverick. I still have them on my iPhone.

It doesn't matter if I set the preferences to check automatically, every 1 minute, every 5 minutes, etc. Mail just stops retrieving, and even more aggravating is the fact that the Activity monitor runs at the specified interval, implying that my mail is being checked. And yet, if not for checking my email on my iPhone, I'd think everything was fine, it's just a particularly slow day. When I see that in fact I've gotten a number of emails, I check my Mavericks Mail manually, and still nothing comes in. It's only upon deactivating all my accounts and then reactivating, or quitting the app and then restarting that I get all the mail I've already gotten on my iPhone. This is pretty infuriating, as I get caught up in my work and forget that my Mac Mail is "moody."
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 and Mail 7.3.

I just realized that I have never seen an option to organize mail in the Mail app on my Macbook. Is there a way to do this that I am not seeing or is this another feature that Apple has to implement? It seems strange to add the tag feature to documents on your mac but not to integrate that with your email.

I've always used Mail in Mac OS X but one day I decided I would try Outlook 2011 so I could manage rules and filters without having to go to OWA. I was not very happy with Outlook 2011 so I removed it and decided to go back to Mail for Mac OS X. Since trying Outlook 2011, I'm having problems setting up the Exchange account in Mail.My company uses first.last company.com and flast company.com for our email address/alias.When I setup the account, auto discovery finds everything just fine and logs me in and downloads all the mail, rules, filters, etc. stored on the server. The problem is in Internet Accounts in System Preferences, I now see two Exchange accounts. One for first.last and another for flast. since mail seemed to be working fine, but one day I noticed something when I did a reply all to a mail message. It included myself in the reply to fields. I thought maybe it was a setting in Mail that I overlooked when setting up the Exchange account. As it turns out though, the problem is that the first.last account is now somehow the default mail account on Exchange and the flast is what I'm replying with.Checking System Preferences, I noticed that the first.last Exchange account doesn't have checks in the selection boxes for Mail, Contacts or Notes, but it does for Calendars and Reminders. However the flast is exactly the opposite; it has checks in the selection boxes for Mail, Contacts and Notes, but not Calendars or Reminders.
When I try to enable Mail, Contacts or Notes in the first.last Exchange account I get an error dialog stating "There was a problem setting up the account. An unknown error occurred."I experience this on multiple computers, including an iMac 27", iMac 24" and MacBook Pro 17".I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and iCloud for my home accounts and connecting to an Exchange 2010 work account.

In Mac Mail I have a mix of POP (my main accounts) and IMAP (G Mail) accounts.
Since installing Mavericks the e mail addresses are now all lumped together (as on an iPad) and I do not want this!
how I can go back to separate addresses listed as before? I choose to prioritise my e mails and a whole lot at once is so not where I want to be! (

My mail program seems to be slow. I'm not sure why. I get the spinning ball frequently. I need to save mail messages sometimes for a few years and there are hundreds of emails. Is it better to save them on my computer than my mail program? I may need to retrieve them at some other time so they need to be readable. Is that possible?

I know how to create a email profile on OSX Mail to access GMail. My question is if the GMail mail will be downloaded locally to my machine or will it remain on the Google servers. I WANT it to remain on the servers, ie I only want to access my emails through Mail. Otherwise most of my HDD will fill up with email and also I will not be able to access my emails when I do not have my machine on hand. what happens when I delete an email in Mail? Will it also get deleted in GMail?

I was trying to email someone from a certain company/vendor, but I didn't remember the reps name.
I knew that their business name was in their domain name though, so I tried typing that into the To: field.
To my surprise, Mail didn't find anything.
Is there a way to turn this feature on, or else can I submit it as a feature request?
I realize that it's possible to use the search box to search for past emails containing a domain name, but this clearly is not my intention, I wanted to compose an email ...

I want to back up the essential files of my office machine (windows 7) to my home mahcine. I have a VPN and have it working fine. I have linked to the remote drive (FAT) containing my documemnts and can access tnem fine
I was planning to use time machine but learned i broke two golden rules
a) Its a FAT based drive that I want to backup
b) It is a remote drive and Time Machine can only handle physically connected drives
I guess I could script top copy the documents to a local drive and then use Time Machine. Any software that woudl avoid the new to copy 5 gig of data ?Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

My hard drive crashed recently and I was able to put back everything on my MacBook's new hard drive as it was via Time Machine and my external hard drive - everything except Mail.
It put back my folders, but they were all empty - none of my emails were backed up - why is this and how can I ensure that Time Machine saves my emails when I back up? I have a Gmail account, so haven't lost my emails completely, but it's frustrating that they aren't filed as I had saved them and I will have to download them again.

I just discovered that I am unable to restore mail since about the time I first installed Mavericks over a year ago. Prior to that time I can see the mail in time machine and recover a specific email. Since that time forward there is nothing shown to restore. I am now running Yosemite. I rebuilt my inbox to see and after completing that it still is not allowing me to see the any mail that was backed up. So I can restore any emails from prior to the end of September 2013, but it appears I have no backups of email since that time. This is disturbing. So much for relying on Time Machine for backups.

If anybody can offer me advice regarding how to transfer my email from Microsoft Mail (a Vista program that is different than Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express)?
I have done quite a bit of internet searches to find an answer to this question, but so far to no avail!
Microsoft Mail on vista exports email files to a .eml file (I think) and not the .mbox files that one needs to import easily into Mac Mail.
I have a Max OS X, version 10.5.4 and the old computer was a Toshiba running Vista.
