OS-X 在哪里存储 Mail.app 数据 - 对于其他电子邮件客户端也是如此

Question

我想让他们将数据存储在加密位置。

我也对 Thunderbird、邮箱等感兴趣...

Answer 1

邮件应用程序

Mail.app 将消息存储为 .emlx 文件，~/Library/Mail/TYPE-ACCOUNT/例如。~/Library/Mail/POP-user@example.com/

雷鸟

Thunderbird 将其数据存储在~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[string].default/. 有两个文件夹，一个文件夹Mail将保存本地文件夹，如果您有 IMAP 帐户，一个文件夹ImapMail将保存下载的 IMAP 消息。[string] 是一个随机的字母数字字符串。

邮箱

基于 Thunderbird 的邮箱以几乎相同的方式存储它，但在~/Library/Application Support/Postbox/[string].default/.

捷信

GyazMail 将其数据存储在 ~/Library/Application Support/GyazMail (data)/

邮差

MailSmith 将其数据存储在 ~/Documents/Mailsmith User Data/

To store you email in an encrypted location you can make an alias (ln -s ORIGINAL DESTINATION - eg. ln -s ~/Library/Mail /Volumes/EncrypedImage/) onto an encrypted disk image made using Disk Utility if you'd like. Just ensure that the disk image is available or you'll find the data is being stored in a folder at /Volumes/EncryptedImage instead of actually on the image.

Alternatively you could use FileVault that will encrypt your entire home folder. However if the messages are sitting on a server somewhere (eg. not removed by a POP account or using an IMAP account) then the messages are still available unencrypted on the mail server.
