I'd like to free up space on my hard drive by moving all my email in Mail into iCloud. How can I do this?
MacBook Air 11", OS X 10.10
Thank you. When you say I can forward mail to my iCloud address, do you mean I can forward each email individually to iCloud? Or can I set things up so messages that are addressed to my other account automatically get forwarded to iCloud? I can't figure out how to do that.
Thank you, but my question is the opposite of what's asked in the thread. I would like to move email FROM Mail INTO iCloud.
If the account you are using/seeing in the Mail app is your iCloud account, it's content is already "in" iCloud. There is nowhere to "move" it to.
iCloud only stores/supports it's own mail. It does not have the ability to sync other IMAP based mail accounts like Gmail etc.
You can forward mail to your iCloud address.
If you have been using the "On My Mac" section of the mail app, that mail can't be stored in iCloud either.
Both.
You haven't shared which email service this is, but I am sure it has a forwarding feature.
See the thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250790698
You can try forwarding it from Mail by using a Rule in Mail/Preferences/Rules.
Thank you, but my question is the opposite of what's asked in the thread. I would like to move email FROM Mail INTO iCloud.
Thanks, I should have clarified: I'd like to move email from another account to iCloud, and for the future I'd like all messages sent to that other account to show up in iCloud.
Ah! I realized I was trying to forward messages from the Mail app rather than from my service. I'm all set now, thanks!
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!
You are welcome. If you decide to try that, it may need some adjustments based on email provider and some other things.
