I tried solving this one myself, and found a temporary fix but it seems I've messed things up again.
I use Mail to access my school's webmail on my Macbook. I run bootcamp and installed Outlook 2007 to access same webmail whenever I'm using Windows. After installing and using Outlook for an afternoon, I noticed that my entire Mail contents had disappeared on the Mac. When I logged into my webmail directly through the web, I noticed my entire mail history on the server had been cleared. The only place to find my thousands of emails now was on Outlook.
I *think* I disabled the setting that clears out my webmail, but the damage was done. I used Thunderbird to transfer the .mbox files back to Mail. All was good. Then, I used outlook again today, and alas, my Mail has been emptied again. Outlook still has all of the emails.
Is there any way to set up my mail so that I can store copies of my email and regularly send out emails on both Outlook and mac Mail? If I have to keep importing and exporting mailbox files I'm going to go bonkers.
Also, I was under the impression a copy of my emails were always stored through Mac Mail, regardless of what was on the server. Can I set it so that I have such a backup?
Thanks.
