Simple Situation; no Simple Solution?
The quoted error message from Mail arises most often in the one situation I want to accomplish simply: I back up my Work computer's Mail account on my iPod, copy the backup to my laptop, and, presto, no luck: "...the mail is on the server...". While I have my suspicions why Mail might be constructed this way, it would be really nice if I could keep a complete and functional backup of my Mail archive on my laptop. Is there no simple solution for this?
Simple Situation; no Simple Solution?
For the Mail that you've trying to archive, are you copying from a system running Mac OS 10.3.x or 10.4.x? Apple changed the way mail is stored in Tiger (to support Spotlight indexing without having to write an extra plug-in), so the cause of this error message is slightly different.
Try mailsteward
Mailsteward basically backs up your mail into an sqlite database. It's not particularly elegent, but does work and is fast for archiving years worth of mail. |
