[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1369803, member: 101117"] I hope I didn't misunderstand your question… Create On My Mac folders (You create local folders under the Mailbox>New Mailbox…>Location: On My Mac) Go through all the folders in the IMAP account and drag the emails into the relevant On My Mac folders. This would move the emails to local and at the same time remove the emails online. (Should, I can't guarantee that your IMAP server works the same but it should) And in the future, just drag emails in the inbox that you want to keep to On My Mac folders. What this means is all email in your inbox will be synced between all devices connected to that account. Move emails to the On My Mac folders and they will only be accessible on your Mac. [/QUOTE]
