Ask it to search for ¡°Mac Tune Up¡±
I suggest using these criteria:

Re: Stop Catalina Update Nag

 

From the article, I take exception to the leading run-on sentence:

"Apple is persistent about software updates. Since the updates are free, it¡¯s not exactly a monetary?motivation, though newer versions of macOS have an increasing number of services, like the new TV?app in Catalina, which inherits previous features from iTunes and will allow Apple TV+?subscriptions?when they arrive."

But monetary motivation is exactly what it is all about. Give away the razor to sell the blades. Eventually, the hardware will not run some iCandy, long before the hardware breaks. And the basic services of apps like Mail, Contact & Calendar, no longer sync with older versions.?

Just my 2 cents.

So am I.

I¡¯ve had a detailed set of rules in Apple Mail on my Mac for many years.
Using IMAP on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad, my mail and mailboxes neatly synchronize among all three ¨C IF the Mac is booted up.

When all the sorting was done on the Mac, mail didn¡¯t get sorted if I was reading it remotely on my iPad, but the Mac was turned off at home.

So I took a different approach ¨C I logged into iCloud, opened Mail on that website, and set up all the sorting filters there, since that was the first place my incoming mail went, before even going to my Mac, iPad, or iPhone.

Of course, I also DISabled those rules on my Mac.

This is all by way of saying that, in MY experience, rules do NOT synch.
Having them on the mail server is the most efficient method.

Re: Mail Rules messed up

 

Those created within Mail.app are on your Mac Only.?

You have to open iCloud dot com, go into Mail there, and create the Rules and I guess Folders there for IMAP accounts.?

I have yet to do it, myself. All my accounts are IMAP, but if I move or delete an email on my Mac, I no longer can see that email on my iPhone or iPad. The folders should appear on the other devices, but I would change the name slightly until you move over all the emails from you folders on the Mac.

---
As an aside, since my OS, 10.7.5, there that been some very low level changes in Mail, Contacts, and Calendar up until 10.14. Catalina, 10.15 seems to be another low level change. It is causing a lot of issues as the servers switch over, and conflicts with older OS. For example, I can not only use one browser to access iCloud, and it is not Safari. It is the one that gives me the most problems with more other sites.

I¡¯m using an iMac with the latest Catalina updates (see below), and an iPhone 7+ that¡¯s current with the latest updates.

As I mentioned to Paul, Apple is working on it and hopefully will find a cure soon, as this is driving me up the wall.

?Good morning all,
My mail rules are misbehaving terribly! ?
I keep all my mail in folders, each one with a ¡°rule¡± to direct all email to that folder.
For instance: ?macsupportcentral has it¡¯s own folder, and a rule set up so that if [macsupportcentral] is in the subject line, the mail would instantly go to that folder.

So this morning I got a pop up warning that the macsupportcentral folder didn¡¯t exist, and it couldn¡¯t move the mail to a non-existant folder. ?The pop-up persisted and would not let me do anything other than force quit mail.

I ended up going to mail on my iPhone and deleting the messages from macsupportcentral, and then opening mail on my Mac.

I went into ¡°rules¡± to see what was wrong, and the folder for macsupportcentral was unchecked. ?I checked it - the same thing happened the next time mail came in.

I have about 30 mail rules, and the rest of them work fine, it¡¯s just the mail coming from the 3??I belong to that are causing the problem, so I deleted those rules, quit mail, reopened mail and the same thing happened.

Again, deleted the mail on my phone so I could get into Mail on my Mac.
Opened Rules and the rules that I delete were back, and were unchecked again.
I deleted the rules, closed Mail and re-opened it - same thing - over and over again.

I got mad at this point and decided to delete ALL of my mail rules, thinking there was a glitch somewhere. ?One by one I removed them.
Closed Mail, re-opened Mail and checked - all the rules were there again, but they were all unchecked.

I can¡¯t delete them!!!

Please, someone help me get his straightened out. ?Is there a place on my Mac that stores the mail rules outside of Mail, where perhaps I can permanently delete the rules and start over from scratch?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Correct. File Sharing makes a computer act like a NAS.?

Windows cannot read HFS+ (or APFS) natively, so you need a third party product such as Paragon. (Macs can read NTFS, the Windows file system, but that's not relevant?here.)

Re: group directory #Resolved

 

If you have the gun, rope and a stake or wall, I'm sure i can come up with the blindfold, and I will pick up a cheroot on the way over.

So, I can slowly draw out of you one advantage of opting into the Directory, possible access to other's profiles, but again if they post one and if they opt in. But only 12.5 have posted profiles of 281 members. We have a whopping, less than 4.5% that have posted profiles.

Any other benefits to opting into the Directory? Other than helping remote identity theft, which is often done from what we post and share online? Unrealistic fear or not, it is each member's choice.

You want my profile, I have used a Mac consistently since 1998. I borrowed one in 1991 to recruit, manage, schedule and communicate with 1000 volunteers for a 3 day event, that drew over 40k customers. I got a half hour of training, and most of that was how to assemble, turn it on, and which programs to use. I have held several jobs, that depending upon the decade, could have been labeled efficiency expert, customer service, tech support, expeditor or troubleshooter. Basically a remote problem solver. All without visual aids.

I think you doth protest too much. But I do understand that we all learn and communicate differently.

Only you are pushing for everyone to change their settings, and only 18 of 282 members of this list have chosen to share. I have no idea how many have or have not opted in on the other group, but I bet it is low, since no one has brought it up. The platform owner by default, decided that individuals have to opt in.

One disadvantage is I think, why make it one iota easier for a spammer? And once capture by a spammer, there is no way to retract it.
