Apple Mail : Move emails from one account to another

Good Day,
I please need help with Apple Mail. A client of mine recently changed her email address from her webhost to online exchange. I setup her new email in Apple Mail and that is all working and nice.
Her Apple mail now shows 2 accounts:
- the old IMAP
- the new Exchange
I would like to consolidate all emails from her old IMAP account to her new Exchange account, so that they are all in one place. In Outlook you can just drag and drop emails and folders between the accounts, but my client says that that doesn't work in Apple Mail.
How would I go about moving these emails from one email account within Apple Mail to another?
Sorry for the trivial question, but I am a Windows girl and not as versed in Mac;)
Thanks for the help!
Maike

Try creating a new mailbox in the On My Mac section and drag the e-mails there. Mail/Mailbox/New Mailbox.

Can't move emails from one account to another in native Mail app IOS 7.0.3

I can select an email and click on move, and MAIL looks like working (the animation seems to move the email to a different account folder) but indeed is not moving the email! This was working with the previous release of IOS
Mail works if I try to move email to a folder belonging to the same account.
I need to move email from my university account to my gmail to store it! And I can't create an alias in gmail because of my university (stupid) security policies.
Thank a lot for your help.

Hi Kobe Zhang
Option 1:
Your MSN account might be deleted but the eprintcenter wont be deleted along with it.
You should be still able to login to eprintcenter account using the old msn id and the same old password for eprintcenter account which you used regularly.
If you have forgot the password, i dont know how can you recover it.
If you get a chance to login then you can remove the printer from the old account and then claim it in your new account created usign hotmail ID.
If you are not worried about changing your printers email ID, here is option 2.
One more option is to de register the printer and register it again to cloud to get a new email address which can be used to claim the printer in your new account and then customize your email ID there. But be aware that you might not be able to set the same customised email ID which you have used in your old account.
Kind Regards,
Olilloyd

Can't move emails from one account to another, some accts greyed out.

I am using the iphone 4s and ios 6 I have two gmail accounts and one outlook exchange accout through work. I used to be able to move messages from 1st gmail to the second or even to the outlook exchange acct just fine. Now depending on which acct I am starting in, some of the other accts are greyed out and I can't click on them. What has happened and how can I fix this? I think this may have been in another thread but I didn't see anything specific or any fixes.
Thank You

I have similar problem here which problem began this morning. When attempting to move an image file to a folder (something I've done a kazillion times) an error message pops up:
The item "*.jpeg" could not be moved because "Raw Images" cannot be modified.
No amount of changing file permissions makes any difference. Redoing the image with PhotoShop doesn't help. Tried to move an image file I created years ago and get same message. Also changed permissions on destination folder - no effect.
I can however move the same recalcitrant file to a backup HD or a memory stick without problem. Can also move same file into iPhoto with no problem.
Ran Applejack utility - no difference.
Is this a virus or Trojan Horse of some kind??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can i move money from one account to another?

Can i move money from one account to another?

Basically, no; only the iTunes Store staff can do this, and then only by putting the balance from a completely unspent gift card back onto the card.

Failure to move messages from one account to another

I have recently started having problems when trying to move messages from one account to another. I get a message that says: The IMAP command "APPEND" (to INBOX) failed with server error: message contains NUL characters.
I have tried shutting down and restarting, repaired permissions. Not sure what to do next. Any help?

Ernie,
One is POP thru Cox Comm and the other is mobile me (the old .mac accts). Why would all of a sudden there be an issue when I several times during the day have been able to move messages from Cox to mobile me?

How to move contacts from one account to another

I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
Thanks

I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
In answer to your second question:
To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
1.     Go to Settings
2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear. Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

How do I move Notes from one account to another?

When I upgraded to Lion and ios5, all my Notes were on my Mac, iPhone and iPad, having been synched via USB and iTunes in the past. Some of these notes have been around for quite a while.
Later, I edited a few notes and became aware that the chnages have not been synched to other devices. It turns out that somehow I have two acconts for notes on my ios devices - they are
From My Mac - all the rest
ICloud - 2 notes
It seems that changes I make to notes that are in the From My Mac account do not get synched to the Mac or my other device. How can I change the account for those in the From My Mac account to the iCloudl account?

Only notes in the iCloud account will sync with iCloud. In order to move notes from other accounts you have to open each one, copy/paste the test into new notes created in the iCloud account, then delete the original in the other account.

Error when moving multiple emails from one account to another

I have an IMAP account for one of my emails. I have recently changed web hosting and so changed this to a POP account. I don't want to lose all my emails, which is what happened to another one of my accounts when the web hosting was changed. So have opened a new account on mail which is the POP one. I want move all my emails from the IMAP to the POP. I selected all and clicked move but only half went over, now everytime I try to do the remainder I get an error message just literally saying 'There was an error when trying to move 431 emails across' Or something like that. Why is this happening and is there another way of doing it? It's justw eird that half of them moved fine and the rest stayed.

Try Mail/Mailbox/Export Mailbox which will move the mailbox to your desktop. Then Mail/File/Import Mailbox which will put the e-mails in an Import Folder in On My Mac. That will save the e-mails for you.

In Mail on my iMac I have a rule to move emails from one account (comcast) to my .me account. How can I get this rule to be applied to my iPad2?

So far, I'm happy with the Cloud as a new user of Apple; however, I can't seem to figure out how to merge a rule from my iMac to my iPad. Your help is appreciated.

open the icloud webmail app in http://www.icloud.com . There is a settings icon in the upper right corner for mail settings. It lets you create alias and also rules. This is then applied to all devices in your icloud that are signed in with the same Apple-ID as the one you use to log in there.

Is there any way to move songs from one account to another?

I accidentally bought an album on iTunes on the wrong account. In order to download it onto my iPod, I think that all of the songs from the other account would be deleted. Is there any way to just move the album to the other account (which is on the same computer), or use two accounts on one iPod?

Control-click the songs in iTunes, show them in the Finder, copy them to /Users/Shared/, log into the other account, and import them into iTunes.
