I have all my mail sorted out by rules in my Runbox and Fastmail email providers..
I access these mails from three different computers, however I want one local backup on my Mac (at home) Mail.app does it but it can't handle IMAP that well. I had moved one folder of 920 emails from Runbox to Fastmail and my time-stamps are a mess.All these emails have the same time-stamps although they are a year old. Time stamps were proper in T-bird but not in mail.app.I tried few of those mails in PM and they appear properly. So it is a client fault. regards Rishi >you know, I thought that too and just tried it out but it did not work - >but oddly enough FILTERS are all greyed out when it comes to IMAP >folders and messages in such folders. hmmm.. > >out of curiosity - why exactly would one use IMAP if one anyhow wants to >make local copies and why not just use POP (and e.g. leave messages on >server for xy days as backup next to local backups) ? > >---marlyse > >------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- > >>Rishikesh Mulgaonkar wrote: >> >>>Now is it possible to create Applescripts so that every mail in my IMAP >>>account goes to a specific local folder. >>Why an Apple script?
