#HOW TO CREATE NEW FOLDER IN MAC EMAIL ARCHIVE#
The user wants to reduce the amount of email on the server (they have limited space on the IMAP server) and have the ability to archive old emails in Mac mail when necessary with some archival process in the future when they need to prune. Then last step, run an import in Mac mail for the old data which will place all the emails in an imported folder which we can rename to archived. This should in theory remove the data from the IMAP server and that should then sync the changes to the Mac computer running Mac Mail. Then in Outlook run the archive tool to archive emails older than 12months.

Then program the IMAP account onto a windows machine running Outlook 2016. First backup the the whole Mac mail store folder. I also came up with an alternate solution last night that may work. You are right about using an another mail app. We do have a need to get the data off the IMAP server too. I didn't get a chance to try the smart folder export as Spike337 suggested as I was snowed under the last day, but your input does help clarify what will happen if we use that method.
What, exactly does the user expect from "Archive"? Any IMAP client will do, and maybe one of them will be perfectly suited to your needs. Maybe that is ok.Īnother great thing here is that you are not limited to just using Apple Mail. That is pretty close, the only difference is that the exported mbox will also include messages that are not older than x. Then you can use a smart folder to find all messages older than x & delete them from Mail. Check the exported files to MAKE SURE that the subfolders were included. That will COPY (not move) all those messages, old & new, everything that is selected to the local computer. Then right-click & choose "Export Mailbox." to save the messages in their folder structure on a local drive in mbox format. You can click any mailbox, then shift-click another mailbox to select all the mailboxes between them. First: Click the triangles open to reveal all subfolders. Nothing special about that Archive folder, as far as I see.īut maybe you really want "Export" anyway. They are still on the IMAP server, still in Apple Mail. The "Archive" command moves mail to a preselected mailbox per account - but does not bring the folders. Hopefully, you don't need the folder structure, but if the guy has 500 folders, I bet he wants them preserved as an organizational thing. Doing a Smart Mailbox will let you select multiple emails across mailboxes, but it will not preserve the folder structure that those emails were in.
