Associating mail boxes and e-mails with Mail app.

Hi there,
I've moved to another Macbook Pro using Migration assistant but now my e-mail accounts are not showing up in Mail in the new computer. I can see all of my e-mail accounts under System Pref.> Internet accounts and . Also when I search for a keyword in spotlight my e-mails are showing up in search result so I'm pretty sure they are here. What can I do to use them in Mail like I used in my old computer? Thanks...

The cheekly answer is go mail --> preferneces --> accounts, press the "+" at the bottom to add a new account (clear, huh?) and follow the bouncing ball.
Certainly start there, and after selecting an account type and your email address, Mail will connect to a database and then the mail provider and try to figure out the rest itself. Often works. Sometimes doesn;t.
If it fails, you will have to get the info from your mail provider(s) and enter it in piece by piece. Keep in mind you have both sending and receive servers, and need to configure them both.
Hopefully it will work automatically. It keeps getting better and better.

Viewing mail box and number of unread mails for each user

i need to know if there is a ready made portlet to get the number of unread messages from my mail box, and if there is no such portlet , what is the best way to do it and where to start
thank you for your time...

There is a set of portlets for Microsoft Exchange that will be published via the PDK shortly. The set contains a portlet for email, contacts, and schedules.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Smart Mail Boxes and how they work?

I am having some difficulty with Smart Mail Boxes, either that or I am not understanding them correctly
So I created a Smart Mail Box so that all the mail which included a particular recipient would go into it, which it does. But I also have the mail in my in-box as well
What I was hoping is that all that particular mail would just go into the smart mail box and not be in the in-box.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Philip

No, you are not doing anything wrong. The original e-mail stays in your inbox until deleted, which will also delete it from the Smart Folder. The Smart Mailbox is a 'sorting' tool,but it doesn't actual contain the e-mails.

HT5621 how can I delete a primary e-mail addresse and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

How can I delete a primary e-mail address and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

An email address can only be used one account at a time, so if you want to replace it with an email address that is currently being used on another account then you will need to remove it from that account first before trying to put it on that account. You should be able to change the email address either by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or via http://appleid.apple.com

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

Tiger to Leopard Mail Boxes and Rules?????

Can I drag my mail boxes and rules from a tiger system (10.4.11) to a leopard system (10.5.2)?
Thank you

I intended to drag from/to ~user<me>/Library/mail.
As I do sometimes, I posted the question then went and experimented. Wondering now if I can reverse what I did. I imported the mailboxes from the tiger machine, then modified the rules to point to the Import/mail box name.
Thinking it would be preferable to not have the Import mail box folder. So maybe I can drag the Imported folder to the trash and as you and the next guy suggested, just drag my tiger Mail folder and .plist file to leopard????

Restoring mail messages and attachments from Library Mail folder

Can someone please tell me the best way to do the following...
I have recently performed an erase and install of Snow Leopard.
I need to restore my old mail and I have the following data...
A copy of the "Mail" folder from the "Library" folder, up-to-date as of yesterday (19/9/09). I omitted to take a copy of the "Mail Downloads" folder which I believe contains the attachments for the messages.
An older copy of the "Mail Downloads" folder, up-to-date as of 31/5/09.
I was advised by one person at Apple Care that the Mail Folder was all I needed to back-up all my mail. Then the next advisor told me I should have taken a copy of the Mail Downloads folder as well. Another advisor suggested I exported all the mailboxes manually one by one which I now wish I had done.
In any case, I am where I am and I would like to know what to do with the data I have to be able to access my past mail messages.

Robert,
If you were to need to do this again, all you need is to restore the Mail folder and the com.apple.mail.plist file (Home/Library/Preferences). If you restore those -- replacing any that might get created, but would not if you don't first launch Mail -- then Import is not necessary and it picks up where it left off.
The Mail Downloads folder is not needed -- its contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages.

I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

HOWTO Get the text of "combo box" and "labe" controls with JavaAccessBridge

HOWTO Get the text of "combo box" and "labe" controls with JavaAccessBridge.
Please help,
I'm trying to use the Java Access Bridge (JAB) 2.1 to get the text in Java Applet controls. I've been able to use the sample code in AccessInfo.cpp sample that comes with JAB to get text from "text" controls in a Java Applet. To clarify, I am referring to the "role" in the AccessibleContextInfo struct being set to "text" or "combo box" or "label".
The problem is, when I use the AccessInfo.cpp sample to get text from a "combo box", the accessibleText data member comes back as FALSE, and thus any of the JAB text functions like GetAccessibleTextInfo fail to get any text information from "combo box" or "label" controls.
I've also tried GetCurrentAccessibleValueFromContext on the "combo box" and "label" controls, but the text returned is empty.
Can anyone help?

I have new information in regards to this issue. A contact from Sun did get to me in email and relayed that that "label" objects store their text in the "name" data member of the AccessibleContext structure. This was a big help.
But I'm still stuck trying to get information from "combo box" and other controls, like "push button". The contact said, the Java Access Bridge does not provide all the information because it is already implemented by other interfaces like AccessibleComponent, AccessibleAction, or AccessibleSelection. The contact did not allude to whether these opther interfaces can be used along side the Java Access Bridge or not. So, I'm left a step closer to the goal, but still stuck without the full solution.
Can one take the Java Access Bridge functions, like say those used in the Ferret sample, and close the gap to get text back from "combo box", "push button", and other controls by using some other API in conjunction?

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
Other than that, syncing is by device.
Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
Connect second device, repeat.
Connect third device, repeat.
