OS X Mavericks :: Sync Mail Database Between MAC Computers Without Using IMAP?

Jun 30, 2014

The normal question is can I sync  Apple mail database (folders) between two MAC computers. The answer is always use IMAP, but unfortunately IMAP is limited on space to store historical emails. I keep mailboxes (on_my_mac) with thousands of emails and attachments that take up a massive amount of space, well beyond any IMAP server allowances. I keep these in order to search conversations that span over many months and sometimes years.  

I use GoodSync to sync my normal folders from my MAC Book Pro and my Mac Pro desktop so that I can have the same information (in real time) when working from home on my big machine or at the office using the laptop. This is great except I can not sync the email. I use Outlook 2011 but would prefer to use apple mail if I can sync the two computers (Sync'ing Outlook 2011 is even more impossible). 

I also do not want to start and stop my email clients to make this happen and worry about which MAC is running mail and what direction to copy the entire folder structure just to have to follow that up with a new re-build of the index. 

Also keep in mind the amount of data - Cloud based solutions are dependent on Internet connection speed (days of initial transfer time and hours to sync) and if I am on my laptop without internet connection, say on an airplane, I would be out of luck so I need the information local on each computer.

OS X Mavericks :: Mail Rules Don't Sync Across Computers

Aug 27, 2014

I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4  on both my Late 2014 MBP and my Late 2012 iMac. I have iCloud set up on both computers and logged in to the same account. I added a ton of new Mail rules to sort my incoming mail on the MBP. Rules were created within the Mail program, not on iCloud. I have both Mail and documents & Data set up to sync on iCloud. However, I'm not seeing any of my new mail rules showing up on the iMac. I have removed and re-enabled Mail and Documents & Data from each computer with no change. 

How do I get them to sync across to the other computer?

Info:
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), Late 2012

Applications :: Apple Mail Import - Sync With IMAP Account

Feb 11, 2010

I have the newest version of Apple Mail and I am syncing it with an IMAP account. Everything works fine so far. I had to delete all my mails on the provider server because I reached the storage limit. So I saved all my mails on my mac from the apple mail first and then I deleted all my mails on the server. After deleting all mails on the server, I putted back my old mails into APPLE MAIL, but it immediately deleted all my mails in APPLE MAIL after syncing with the server. So my question. How can I place my old mails back into APPLE MAIL without it deleting my local mails when it is syncing with the server?

ICloud :: Migration - How To Sync IMAP Passwords On Server For Mac Mail

Mar 25, 2012

Recently my Mailbox started prompting me for my password. When I enter it, I get told the MobileMe IMAP server rejects it, so my mac mail is frozen in time when viewed on my MAC. Yet I can log into to my mail via web just fine, my iPhone and iPad have no problem. It seems like this is an issue that occurred recently after I migrated ot iCloud but I cant be sure. I haven't made any other changes or software upgrades and I've been happily using mail for years. How does one resync IMAP passords on the server (if that is what I need to do)?

OS X Mavericks :: Possible To Delete Message In Server Using Mail Configured / IMAP?

Sep 1, 2014

Is it possible to delete message in the server using Mail configured using IMAP? 

Currently when I delete the message in Mail, the server still keep a copy of it, which means it is not deleted on the server. I know that POP can do this but I still want the option of being able to access it from other computers.  

My server has only a small size, so I hope that I can just delete it from my Mail instead of having to log in to the server and delete it again.

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail Stopped Connecting To IMAP Servers Identified By Name

Jun 20, 2014

I'm running mail (Version 7.3 (1878.2)). For some reason that I cannot fathom, imap accounts stopped working on June 10 or so. 

I can fix this by setting the imap server to the ip address of the server, rather than its name. 

I can confirm that the name is properly resolved to the address in terminal. 

I'm using my own imap cyrus imap server

Jun 22, 2014

i use both an apple mail email and an IMAP email for my business.

1. When i file mail into a folder into won't stay in the folder. It comes back into my inbox.

2. When i delete emails: the appear back in my inbox even though i have deleted them. 

I do not receive an error message when this happens, the emails just pop back up & into my mailbox

OS X Mavericks :: (10.9.3) Sync Apple Mail / Signatures And Rules Across Devices

Jun 25, 2014

I would like to know if apple mail is supposed to sync both signatures and rules across devices.

I recently had to create 3 signatures on 3 separate devices and am now realizing that rules don't carry over from my iMac to my MBA or MBP. 

if they're not supposed to sync (which makes absolutely no sense) hopefully apple will fix this in yosemite. 

finally, i will say that, while being a huge apple fan (and would never switch to a pc), i've seen apple mail become one of those neglected softwares and have steadily gone on the decline in terms of features and consistency among devices that are supposed to communicate to one another.

All my devices are using osX 10.9.3

OS X V10.7 Lion :: IMAP Gmail Folders Do Not Sync

Apr 26, 2012

Read boards, tried help, tried everything.  Gmail IMAP account will only synch inbox. ALL other folders do not appear in Mail 5.2 / Lion 10.7.  In fact, MAIL doesn't even appear in the list of applications here.  Am at a HUGE loss. I have checked Google settings. They are all set to show and show online just fine. I need this for work, so if this cannot be solved, I need to go back to a PC solution.  Nothing should be this complicated.

ICloud :: Sync Data With 10.5 Computers?

Feb 15, 2012

I'm contemplating the move to iCloud from MobileMe. I need to be able to sync an older Mac Mini G4 running 10.5.8 too. It can't run Snow Leopard or Lion, so this one issue is holding me back from the iCloud transition - I would have to replace that computer to do so, which seems ridicluous.  I'm concious that I need to make a decision before the June shutdown of Mobile Me and need to plan.

Intel Mac :: Sync Files Across Computers?

Feb 27, 2012

I know there are ways to sync files across computers, but I wonder if you can do it on the same computer. I have a file in one directory (Direcotry A) named users.yml, and a file in another directory (Directory B) called users.yml.Those directory A and directory B are in the same super directory. Is there any way I could have both of the users.yml sync with eachother so if I changed one, the other file would be the same?

ICloud :: Moving Mail Boxes From Mail To IMAP Server Error NUL Character In Message

Mar 18, 2012

I am migrating my mail and archive folders from Mail to iCloud.  I moved 20+ folders and over 8k messages with no problem by dragging and dropping the folder from 'On my mac' section to 'iCloud' section in Mail.  The last two folders were the largest with over 1.5k in each folder.  Over 1200 of the messages in each went in to iCloud without a hitch. Then I got this error: 

The IMAP command “APPEND” (to [mail box name]) failed with server error: Message contains NUL characters. 

There are 149 messages left in one folder and 203 in another folder.  Try as I might, it will not work.  I tried Rebuild mailbox option in menu and exported to Mail and mbox format and then re-importing.  Still does not work.

OS X :: Mail Delayed In Fetching Mail From IMAP Server

Dec 30, 2008

My Mail application (Leopard) is sometimes incredibly delayed in downloading mail from the server. If I have Thunderbird open on the side sometimes I receive mail in it but have to wait 15 minutes before Mail gets it. Also, my iPhone gets the mail in time always, though one would think that the mail fetching system is similar to that in Mail. Does anybody else have this problem and know a way around it? It's really frustrating and I'm considering moving to Thunderbird for good.

Applications :: Mac Mail Database Corrupt?

Jul 27, 2010

Having some issues with mac mail at work. My mac mail is connected to our exchange server. It is working fine. Ran into a problem today. Mac mail quit for some reason and when I fired it back up, it walked me through the process of configuring mac mail to connect to exchange. The odd thing now is the only mail I see in mac mail is new mail, none of my old previous mail. I see my folder structure that I created (held on exchange), but I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot sync my mail to show my emails in mac mail. Is there a way to clean out the old stuff in mac mail and start fresh?

OS X :: Snow Leopard Mail.app - Can't Get IMAP Mail?

Sep 23, 2009

Since updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 Mail.app has been unable to retieve IMAP mail from my OS X Leopard 10.5.x server running the standard cyrusd. Does anybody have any clues? Mail just sits there syncing the mailbox forever, it never stops. If I turn on logging to file, it just continuously FETCHes from IMAP and never ends. It's driving me mad. My iphone can get the IMAP mail from the same server absolutely fine. I added the mail account to a new OS X Snow Leopard user account, and that also failed to get anywhere. So its not corrupted data on my MBP. It doesn't appear to be corrupted data on the OS X server either, as the iPhone works.

OS X Mavericks :: Converting POP To IMAP For Gmail

Sep 1, 2014

I've been using the Apple Mail app for many years, to access gmail. I almost never access gmail with a browser. But the gmail account is a POP account, which, now that I have an iPhone, is pretty frustrating. 

I understand how to convert the gmail account (disable account on Mac, change account type at Google website, create new IMAP account on Mac). But this will sync my Mac to the mail Google now has. And since I've been managing the whole account from the Mac, and email deletions on the Mac have no effect on Gmail, Gmail has vast amounts of mail that I've deleted from the Mac.  How do I switch to IMAP and get the server to match what's on my Mac? 

Info:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
