Sorry.Īnd on followup imports, if I select groups individual messages, how do I know EF will put them in the same-named folders or sub-folders they come out of in Mail? How will EF know where they should go?Īnd how would I add groups of messages from earlier older sets of Mail from years back where my folder structure may have been different?

I don’t understand the simple mechanics of your instruction. Or are you talking about doing this through the Mail file in Library the way I did an Import? Select All is greyed out when you have a range of mailboxes selected. How do you “select a whole range of mailboxes” and then Select All Messages? When I select all my mailboxes in Mail and hit fn-F1 or fn-opt-F1, I get an error message telling me I have to select individual messages. Personally, I Shift-click to select a whole range of mailboxes in Apple Mail, Select All the messages, and press F1.Ĭould you please elaborate or explain your recommendation. Whereas, if you just import mailboxes it’s easy to sort Records by Title and merge them into the existing hierarchy.

This method may be good for a first import, but it will make a mess for subsequent imports because it will create a new hierarchy of folders.

Whereas, if you are importing the selected messages it’s obvious. And if new messages are downloaded while EagleFiler is importing, it may not be clear which ones you should delete. Also, you’ll still have to select the messages in Mail in order to delete them. This will force it to completely load all the mailboxes from the server.

If you go this route, I still recommend first selecting all the mailboxes in Mail.

That’s valid if you want to import every mailbox in the hierarchy (which I usually don’t).

Whereas I would prefer using the traditional Mac way of using the Import command from within the EagleFiler menubar, and selecting Mailboxes, so as to be sure to preserve the hierarchical folder structure I have created within Mail. Thanks in advance for any help or advice or answers to any of these questions!

Why are there about 3 or 4 different ways described as to how to get email into EagleFiler, and why is the “preferred way” recommended by the author/developer the one that I find the most awkward? Michael recommends selecting all emails in each folder, one folder at a time, and then hitting command-option F1, whereas I would prefer using the traditional Mac way of using the Import command from within the EagleFiler menubar, and selecting Mailboxes, so as to be sure to preserve the hierarchical folder structure I have created within Mail. If I need to search for a prior conversation by emails, some of which are in Mail and some in EagleFiler, how would I do it? And would the emails look like they do in Apple Mail, or would they be in the teeny tiny faint barely readable font I see in the ones I have tentatively imported into EagleFiler? I have tentatively copied all my emails into EagleFiler, but I have gotten cold feet about now deleting them from Apple Mail. Is anyone on this forum using it the way I describe my concept of intended use for it? If so, can you pass on any tips, description of your step-by-step use etc.?Īnd whether or not you are satisfied using EagleFiler this way? (I’m really not interested in using it as a general scrapbook of miscellany the way other users in the forums seem to do.)

step by step set of instructions for a systematic use of it solely to archive Apple email. it seems that because EagleFiler is designed and used to store so many different kinds of documents, that I can’t seem to nail down a 1-2-3 etc.

As a novice user, I am just now working with a trial version of EagleFiler to see if I can safely and comfortably combine old collections of decades and tens of thousands of emails with new and current email, eliminate possibly hundreds of duplicates, and set up a system for regularly moving email into matching folders in EagleFiler.Īlthough I have read the online manual, scanned discussions in these forums, etc.
