Hey,
I have this little problem...
Big emails, limited bandwith... And when I open mac mail it tries to download my 20 000 emails!!
And it even says they are UNREAD!

How can I just get the recent ones?? Is there a way??

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I noticed that when I transferred my email from Comcast, it didn't transfer over my subfolders, it only transferred my Inbox. So you could create a folder in Hotmail called "Old Mail" or something, move most of your messages into until you only have the mail you want to transfer in your Inbox, then transfer them using Apple Mail.

Sounds like you might need to get better at managing your mail!

which brings a question to mind...

Does anyone know how I would transfer other folders other than the Inbox into Mail?
