I’ve a protracted query concerning utilizing native storage in Apple Mail vs “cloud” or “server” storage. My mother has a number of e-mail accounts which are energetic in Apple Mail. She has a number of gmail and one icloud account. She has all of her subfolders like a folder known as private, household, receipts, on-line orders, and so on. listed underneath the part known as “on my mac” in Apple Mail. Inside every of these folders, she has a number of emails from a number of e-mail accounts. How can I, in a easy manner, clarify to her A.) what icloud is and what it does, and B.). how she will get her emails out of these regionally saved folders and transfer them to cloud folders for every account? Am I right that she must transfer all of her emails out of these folders again to the inbox, create these folders for every e-mail account, after which transfer the emails again in to these folders underneath the server account within the applicable folders per e-mail account? In different phrases, she has, for instance, a folder known as on-line orders, nevertheless, she has an e-mail from a web-based order that was despatched to “X” e-mail handle and an e-mail from a web-based order that was despatched to “Y” e-mail handle. Am I right that she’d have to verify she places the “X” e-mail from her on-line orders folder to the web orders folder underneath “X” e-mail handle after which the e-mail from a web-based order that was despatched to “Y” e-mail handle and drag that e-mail to the web orders folder underneath “Y” e-mail account? In different phrases, she’d have to do this for each single e-mail that is saved regionally in these folders underneath the “On My Mac” part in order that she’d be utilizing cloud based mostly folders and be capable of obtain her complete e-mail account, sub folders and all, on any machine she has? By the way in which, she will not be in a position to seek for any e-mail by way of portal, whether or not it’s for gmail or icloud, as a result of all of her emails that are not in her inbox are saved regionally on her laptop computer underneath “On My Mac”. She’d have to maneuver any e-mail to her inbox to have the ability to seek for it by way of net portal, right?
