[MlMt] mailmate Digest, Vol 168, Issue 2

[Henry Seiden]

Mark,

You are most welcome. I suppose another way around the issues would be to email (forwarding) them to your new Source account. I think the former proposal was the best, though. You’ll likely also need to inform others of your new account prior to its retirement, so don’t forget about that - there may be others that need to know what happened. So a limited closure notice might be appropriate.

Also, even without that, I have found that junk mail ends up locating you again, so filtering will likely need to be set up for your new email as well after closing your old account.  Hopefully that is not the only reasoning you’re re-locating/revising/remocing an account, though you didn’t say so.

My experience with 10 Source Accounts of several flavors , including iCloud, Outlook, Windows Live, Gmail and commercial servers is speaking on this topic, FWIW. I recently abandoned a Gmail account which I hadn’t used in any way for years. I found several emailers still had no knowledge of my change, despite following all best practices, etc. Yet that said, thee junk mailers ALL were able to find me. HA!

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden

>> Sounds like from the size of the email mentioned (45MB), it may be an attachment in that email causing the difficulty. When you move an email item to a different source MM may try to move any associated attached files, too. Have you investigated this? Many servers react to an attachment file of that size with such a response including iCloud. So, try separating attachments or export to a local storage.

When I try to delete it, it keeps the deleted mailbox from synchronizing. Is it safe to delete it in the finder?
