I have an IMAP email account, and in Mail --> Preferences --> Advanced it has this option:Keep copies of messages for offline viewing: - All messages and their attachments - All messages, but omit attachments - Only messages I've read - Don't keep copies of any messages How does this work? Does setting it to "All messages and their attachments" cache all of my emails on my local machine?
yes it does; i'd call it better than a cache — it's complete maildir archive stored in ~/Library/Mail (at least on 10.5), and it is indexed by Spotlight
i rely on this Mail behavior to back up my email traffic, even though i use Thunderbird for interactive email
