#Mac mail archive archive
If you’re not careful when you’re moving messages around, it’s pretty easy to make a mistake and accidentally delete things you didn’t mean to.Īnyway, to get started with this in Mavericks Mail, it’s easiest to first organize all of the messages you’re going to archive into a mailbox of their own, assuming they’re not already. Secondly, be very sure that you’ve got a backup of your machine before you get started. You will no longer have access to them on any iOS devices or other computers you may have. First, know that this will pull your chosen messages off of your mail server, which means that the only place they’ll be stored is on your Mac. However, t here are a couple of caveats to archiving your mail that you should be aware of. So you could export your mailboxes out in what’s called mbox format, ready to reimport the data if need be. I mean, if it's possible you'll need to access them again, it's good to have an archive, right? But it's not entirely necessary for you to keep them cluttering up Mail if the information is years old. Just because that would drive me batty doesn’t mean it’s not a viable solution for you.Ī different (and in my opinion, better) option is to take old messages out of Mail altogether. Sure, leaving messages in the Mail application (or even stuffed in your inbox) for the rest of time is one choice. If you like to keep old e-mails, you've got quite a few ways you can go about storing them.
