How do I keep emails on the Mac? They are all in iCloud and I'd rather they weren't, for a variety of reasons.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
Create or delete mailboxes in Mail on Mac describes how to create Mailboxes " On My Mac."
Create or delete mailboxes in Mail on Mac describes how to create Mailboxes " On My Mac."
One of the things to be aware of when you do this is: On My Mac: Mailboxes you create in On My Mac are local, meaning you can access them only on the Mac where you created them.
Which for some folks is the killer. I have three Apple devices.. An older 2014 Mac mini, a M1 MacBook Pro and a 2017 iMac. I need to have the same set of mail folders in each device. Apple Mail will not allow for that.
I ended up using a mail client called Postbox, which allows for the "local" folders to be stored on Dropbox. The other mail client that allows for local folders to be stored on Dropbox would be Thunderbird.
Just a thought.
Thanks! That did it!
You are welcome.
