I have taken the iMac CRT and torn it apart and created a 1U rack mount server with iRack. I still have G4 OSX servers running from 2000.
#Filesalvage information mac#
I support many MAC users and have only ever had one bad Vid card and one System board ever go bad. The first iMac all in one CRT's were the only other issue with the power button and that was on a Apple recall. I went to school for this Mac Advanced school to be precise and for 5 days 8 hours a day. And when you're done, you'll know the tools and steps to recover said emails.If you're running POP make sure save emails on server is checked.Once you've successfully (or not) completed your quest you will have learned many lessons that will aid you in the future.

You have been there with Windows as well, seeking information you had no experience with. Look at how many threads are out here in our community. They seek a solution from those with experience they don't have (i.e. Spiceworks!) and learn from the experience of others becoming a resource in that scenario in the future. Operating systems whether Windows, Macs, Linux, whatever are increasingly complex and no single person has every answer for every situation.Įverybody comes up against situations they have no experience with. I work with Windows and Macs and feel no "oppression" at all.

But even if you know your stuff, a lot of the software is limited to NOT allow for repair.Īllow me to disagree completely completely with both of you. That has always been my contention with macs.

Maybe my understanding of file structures from years of cumbersome PC use paid off in being able to locate the messages.Īmen. I'm new to Mac and have only been using one for a couple of weeks. Worked like a charm! Got everything back! I feel sorry for the guy that spent months trying to recover his messages, but I really don't know why he had problems. I copied the messages into the message folder in the copied inbox and imported it into the mail program. I saved it and rebooted on my internal hard drive and found my INBOX.mbox file in the mail folder in the Library section and option dragged it to my desktop. It was exactly where pixelgun said it would be. The quick scan did not find anything, but I ran the Deleted File tool and after about an hour found all of my deleted e-mail. I downloaded and installed the Data Rescue II software on the USB hard drive. I booted my computer from a USB hard drive that had a copy of my system installed on it. Finally to get all my messages back into the right place (I had recreated the lost account with the same name) I just opened the imported inbox selected all the messages and dragged and dropped them into the inbox for the account where they needed to be. Then I just used Mail.app to import that mailbox (File>Import Mailboxes.) which resulted in a new folder icon under the On My Mac section in the left hand margin of the the mail window. However I found an old mailbox file in a backup so I decided to make a copy of the INBOX mailbox (option dragged it to my desktop) and try dumping all the messages I recovered into that.


Now I had folders of messages but no way to get them back into Mail.app. Inside those folders were email message files (.emlx I think). After waiting 40 mins or so I was able to find and recover three folders titles Apple Mail, Apple Mail1, and Apple Mail2.

I used the Expert mode and clicked on the Deleted Files icon to scan my disk for deleted files since I knew that Mail.app had essentially deleted the mailbox and all the messages there in. I'll only paste in the info from the ones that had success. I found a thread for you where some people had the exact same issue.
