I am running out of space on my hard drive and have an external drive. I want to be able to store my emails on the external drive seamlessly. I want them to appear in mammal, but when I store them I want them to automatically go to the external drive. I also want to be able to manipulate them as I do now. I don't want a mirrored drive, though, as that will not alleviate my storage issues.
- 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.

Thanks! One of the suggestions is to move the home drive to the external drive, so I might look in to that.
My system is not letting me copy or drag and drop the home file to the external drive. Any suggestions?
Smart folders do not move the messages. A Smart folder is a view of the messages using the criteria you set for the folder.
