To permanently show all hidden files:Open Terminal found in Finder > Applications > Utilities.This will open the User Library directly in a Finder window for you!.Once the Terminal window appears, type "open library".Additionally, one can access the User Library folder directly through using the Terminal:Access Spotlight Search by clicking the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen (right side of menu bar).This will make the User Library folder accessible directly from the "Go" drop down menu. Using macOS 10.13.2 (High Sierra) and Apple Mail 11.2 212 3Īlternatively, you could access the User Library folder by selecting "Go" from the Finder menu bar and hold down the "Option" key on your keyboard. In research I have done so far I have also seen mentions of moving the following files but I question that because they would need to remain in ~/Library/Preferences. (I prefer to keep data on a separate drive.)ĭo I only need to copy the ~/Library/Mail folder to the second drive and then create a symbolic link in ~/Library pointing to the relocated /Mail folder on the second drive?
My question is how to move/relocate the Apple Mail data folder/files from my home folder on my system HD to a separate drive that I use exclusively for data. In this case, I do not plan to copy or migrate any mail from Outlook to Apple Mail, so my use of Apple Mail will be "clean" in the sense there will be no prior emails or accounts in Apple Mail. Move Apple Mail to separate drive I am considering changing from Outlook to Apple Mail as my mail client. I know that even if this works, I'm still going to have to import all my Outlook 2011 messages into Outlook 365 because MS also failed to provide an automatic way for 365 to pick up existing Outlook data. I've done some research so far and haven't found any definitive answer. Will something similar work for Outlook 365 (aka Outlook 2016)? In other words, if I put a symbolic link to a folder named /Outlook 15 Profiles on my data HD at ~ /Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles on my system HD will I effect the same situation I had with Outlook 2011? In the past, with Outlook 2011, the default Outlook data location was ~ /Documents/Microsoft User Data and by using a symbolic link at that location I was able to store all my Outlook data on my data HD.
In the process I discovered that Microsoft changed the Outlook Identities to Profiles and, worse, changed the location of Outlook's data folders from ~ /Documents/Microsoft User Data to ~ /Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles - which is of, course, on my Mac system HD. I just upgraded from Office 2011 to Office 365.
