I'd love to sync Apple Mail's Folders including archives. Can this be done?
I want to sync the Mail Folders including archive mail.
- Symlinks can work in Dropbox but they are not supported, and depending on where you created them, can result in the files being synced twice, taking up twice the amount of storage.
Mark's suggestion is the correct one. Just don't do it. If something goes wrong, it won't be pretty.
Thanks Mark I already use IMAP mail and it works wonderfully well between my macs.
It's the archive of mail I have setup in the "On my Mac" section of Apple Mail that I want to share with my two MacBook Air machines. I have seen that some people have used symlinks but I am not sure that it is supported by Dropbox and I cannot find any supporting information.
