    Welcome to the first part of the Mail Archiver miniclass. What is the difference between a backup and an archive? When you make a backup then usually the data is copied 1:1 to the backup. That means when you delete the original data then the data is deleted from the backup, too. In contrast, an archive means that data you delete from the original is NOT removed from the archive. This also means that you need a backup for your archive. You always need multiple copies of your data. Mail Archiver can be used both as archive and as backup. Mail Archiver as backup You add emails to a Mail Archiver archive without deleting the emails from your accounts or email clients. You have the original data and the copy in Mail Archiver. This is the default. Mail Archiver as archive You add emails to a Mail Archiver archive and delete the emails from your accounts or email clients - all emails or only some of them. You don't have all 1 the original data, only the copy in Mail Archiver. Therefore, you need to make a backup of your Mail Archiver databases. Between using Mail Archiver as archive or as backup there is only one option called "Move to trash" which you have to activate yourself. When the option is active emails that are in the archive are moved to the trash for the email client or IMAP account after archiving. We will have a look later where the option is located. Mail Archiver will never delete emails from the archive on it's own.

  • Starting out with Iwork
    Chapter 1 Starting Out with iWork In This Chapter ▶ Leaving the past behind ▶ Using iWork everywhere ▶ Working in iCloud ▶ Taking advantage of iWork timesavers ord-processing and spreadsheet applications are among the most Wwidely used software products on personal computers; presentation software is a close runner-up. Having started from scratch on the hardware side and then the operating system side, people at Apple started dreaming about what they could do if they were to start from scratch to write modern versions of word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. They knew they’d have to follow their recent advertising campaign theme: Think Different. Freed from supporting older operating systems or from foregoing features that couldn’t be implemented on Windows, they began to dream about how good those programs could be if they could start over. So they did. Meanwhile, other folks at Apple were thinking about mobile devices. Considering the fact that cellphones in the early 2000s sported the processor performance and memory capabilities of the computers on which the early versions of Mac OS XCOPYRIGHTED had been written, they wondered MATERIAL what they could do if they rethought computers in the mobile world. And they did that, too. Welcome to iWork. 005_9780470770207-ch01.indd5_9780470770207-ch01.indd 7 33/1/12/1/12 77:53:53 PPMM 8 Part I: Introducing iWork Working Everywhere iWork now fits into a world centered on you: your ideas, data, and docu- ments; your desktop and mobile devices; and your life on the web. iWork and its components run in all these environments; they can share data (many times automatically) so that you don’t have to worry about synchronizing them yourself.
