Network 23
I did as you suggested and maybe it's because there are 9K messages, but it didn't seem to remove the attachments. I then tried just selecting 5 or so attachments, and it didn't remove them either. I am merely highlighting them, not opening each attachment. It only seems to work if I actually open each message and remove the attachment that way. As you can imagine, at 9K messages, that's not a task I'm relishing.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm not sure...it's always worked for me to just select messages and do Message > Remove Attachments. I don't know if it works differently with different email providers or different protocols (POP vs IMAP vs MS Exchange vs...)

- Check the external drive is formatted as OS X Extended (Journaled). it is but it doesn't say OS X Extended, just Mac OS extended
- Ensure the external drive is not enabled for " Ignore ownership to this volume " How do I verify this. that wording doesn't appear anywhere
- The guide is referenced on many posts. My preference is to perform this with a cloning tool, Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Which guide? I don't have Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
- My typo, as long as the format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) , should be ok.
- Under Finder -> right click external drive -> Get Info : at the bottom is a tick box for " Ignore ownership on this volume " make sure it is not ticked.
- As I posted earlier: User tip: User Tip: Creating a lean, fast Boot Drive
- There is a free version of SuperDuper, a trial version of Carbon Copy Cloner

Jul 16, 2014 11:42 AM in response to dwbrecoveryby czani64,There is a drop down menu with a sunburst or wheel icon in the "Sharing and Permissions" section. The options are
"make …(me) the owner
apply to enclosed items...
revert changes
But they are greyed out unless I unlock them. When I unlock them, I can "make me the owner" or "apply to enclosed items".
I dont' see any tick box with Ignore ownership on this volume.

Jul 17, 2014 9:00 AM in response to dwbrecoveryby czani64,That does not show up on my system. I'm on Mac OS X v 10.7.5, if that makes a difference. And I can't upgrade to the next version, because I don't have any space on my internal hard drive!! Catch-22...

Jul 17, 2014 11:06 AM in response to czani64by dwbrecovery,- The "ignore ownership" does not appear as the external drive was or is used for Time Machine. which?
- How much disk space is free on the external? It can be used to create another volume and resize the current volume.
