It’s certainly not unusual to want to store your data only on locations over which you have full control—not some company’s cloud, even if that’s Apple. Macworld readers Bob and Barbara migrated off other mail services to iCloud specifically to download messages directly and to avoid poor performance they were perceiving.

They thought macOS Mail and iCloud would be a better match. But they’re in a pickle, because they’re seeing iCloud storage fill up (Bob) or become full (Barbara), and they don’t want the messages there at all. When they log into their mail, they want any email to be moved from the server to their Mac. Apple’s Mail and most email clients on every platform and from every third party optimize their defaults settings around leaving mail on a server. That’s the modern way, where we can reach the same mail storage on any device, as well as through Web mail.

However, it’s possible to avoid all this. You just have to change a view settings and rethink how you file mail once you’ve dealt with it. You can archive messages on a single Mac and store them there without leaving a copy on the server. (You’d better be making backups, Time Machine or otherwise, or you’ll be sunk if your drive fails.) Your Inbox will always remain on the server.

The Inbox is essentially a window into messages that have arrived and you haven’t processed. You make one change in settings and one change in behavior for everything else. In Mail in macOS, follow these steps: • Select Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. • Select iCloud in the list at left. • In the Account Information tab, set Download Attachments to All. (The only reason to avoid this if you get frequent large attachments in messages you delete without needing those attachments.) • In the Mailbox Behaviors tab, for each mailbox popup menu, select a mailbox listed under On My Mac.

(If no mailbox exists, you need to create it from the Mailboxes sidebar. Now all the standard Mail behavior will result in messages being downloaded or stored on your Mac. On the behavior side, create all the mailboxes you need under the On My Mac section of the Mailboxes list, and then as you receive email in your Inbox, file those locally into those folders. That removes the messages from the mail server, leaving it stored only on your Mac.

If you can print a particular item in iOS 10, you can save it as a PDF. Yep, you really can—it’s just not obvious how you’d do so. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is a pretty darned hidden feature, which is a shame. I find it very useful to be able to save Maps directions as PDFs, for example!

In this tip, I’ll show you how to save something out as a PDF and put it into iCloud Drive, but if you’d like to, you could also share your newly created PDF through a message or an email. Hey, friends, the world is your oyster! Well, the world of PDFs, at least. To do this, then, first open any app you can print from. In this case, I’m using Safari, so I’ll start the printing process by tapping the arrow icon. Once the options screen opens, I’ll swipe to find “Print” along the bottom row of icons and once I touch that, I’ll see the preview of how my webpage would look if I printed it.

On that screen, though, is where the PDF magic happens. If I place two fingers on the screen and pinch open on the tiny preview image I’ll be taken to the PDF version of my item! And as I’ve indicated above, yet another arrow will allow me to save the PDF to iCloud Drive with an icon on the bottom row of the subsequent screen: You can also do the typical sharing stuff with your PDF: send it to a message or an email, for example, or use whatever option here floats your boat. I do have to ask, though—is anyone out there still listening? Or are you all too busy drooling over the new iPhone and Watch to pay attention right now?
