Where did all the Mail Rules files go in Ventura?


John Hay
 

I need to track down the rule in Apple Mail that's moving some emails around and having gone through manually the rules front-end dialog I can't find what's triggering this behavior.

Unfortunately Apple does not provide any way to search rules, in any way. I have dozens and dozens, with dozens of child rules.?

?

The mail rules used to be located at either:

/Library/Mail/(latest version number)/MailData? or

...twin files called SyncedRules.plist and UnsyncedRules.plist

?

But they are not there (or hidden) in Ventura 13.5.1 to my knowledge.

I guess things have changed quite a bit. If I can open the rules file I can just do a quick search for key words and then edit the rules? <dict> code, or at least find the title of the rule and go back to the front-end and try again from there.?

?

Anyone know where the rules files went??

?

All the best,

John
