Can I drag my Mac Pro Mail folder to my MBP?

I have POP accounts on my Mac Pro (MP) which is my main computer. My MacBook Pro (MBP) I use when on the road, duh..
I want to be able to access my Apple Mail from my MP when on the road using my MBP (Mountain Lion).
I have an external mirror backup of my MP plugged into my MBP so I can access all files. But I'm trying to find a good
solution how to access my MP On My Mac Apple Mail folders.
If I drag my MP > Library > Mail folder to my MBP and replace my Mail folder on my MBP, when I launch my Mountain Lion (ML)
version of Apple Mail app on my MBP, that will now be accessing my MP Mail folder files, will my MBP Apple Mail be able
to access and read the replace Mail folder and thus I will be able to see all my MP stored On My Mac mail folders and mail?
Apple doesn't support this kind of POP stuff, but I'm exploring if I could damage my ML OS, or ML Mail application?
If the mail got lost, I still have it on my external backup and of course on my MP at my office.
I gather you can't launch Mail from an external drive while booted up off the MBP internal drive...
The other idea I'm contemplating is getting something like SplashTop which would allow my MBP to access my MP
and just launch Mail remotely.
And.. I did try option booting my MBP off the bootable external drive, but because it's got Lion on it and not ML,
the fans on my MBP didn't operate, so that's bad and I shut down immediately.
That's the saga... I can't be the only person on a MBP trying to work with and access Mail folders/files from another
computer and hoping for some creative solutions.
Thanks,
Steven

I actually have it the other way thinking of my iDevices as windows into my mail and my MP as my main repository. I also set my devices to delete of server any mail I move from my devices inbox to minimize multiple deleting unwanted mail.
But the real issue was to be able to access all my stored mail on my MP when traveling. IMAP is a way to go, yes. But my concern, please educate me if I'm wrong, I have 6 email accounts. With POP I can drag any email from any account to the ame folder on my MP.
As I understand IMAP each account would have its own sets of folders. So where I have "Work" ot "ToDo" folder that hold all mail regardless of account, I couldn't have one folder "Work" and drag all mail to it because folders are created per account, per ISP (and I have multiple accounts from various ISPs).
So I'd have to have a Work folder for each IMAP account and have check each instead of one the way it's set using POP - ON MY MAC on my MP.
If I'm right abou this, then using a remote app like SplashTop 2 to use any device to login to my MP to read, reply, delete, store, then is a great solution since I'm actually working on my MP remotely. Only problem would be if I forgot to turn my MP on before traveling.
Am I on the right path?

    Do you have a local network setup either wired or wireless? If so, then have both computers connected to the network. Enable File Sharing on both computers in Sharing preferences. Select the startup drive on each computer. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the box labeled, Shared Folder.
    You can now keep both computers in sync by using a third-party backup/sync utility that will work with a network setup such as:
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    Silver Keeper
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    Synchronize Pro! X
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can I upgrade my Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    MacPro1,1
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
    OpenCL
    requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
    ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
    Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
    Thank you for any help and/or information !

    It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

    After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

    Im wondering what is the most GB of hard drive space I can have in my Mac Pro?  The Apple representative on the phone said I could only do 8GB?  Is this correct?  I was thinking about maybe getting 3Tb internal hard drives, but that would exceed the limit apple representative said of a total of 8GB hard drive max?
    Did I miss something?

    Did I miss something?
    Yes, what does "GB" refer to here?  Is it hard drives or memory dimms?
    If it's hard drives you can put any size SATA drive in your mac pro drive bays.
    If it's memory dimms refer to OWC's charts for your model to see what you can add.  So for a 5,1 (2010 Mac Pro) you could fill the slots with 8GB dimms.

    Well, there are tricks in the Internet to install OS X Mavericks in that computer based on the use of emulators (because you cannot run OS X Mavericks due to your Mac firmware). However, they are risky and illegal, and we cannot provide support for them.
    Instead, you can only upgrade your Mac Pro to OS X Lion officially > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

    No.
    The entire enclosure is tuned for both external jack placement, EMI-RFI radiation, airflow, and for cooling. You need exactly the correct shell and fans for the electronics you wish to install in it.

  • Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive?

    Hello.
    Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive? OS=Windows or Linux or BSD or MacOS... I know it is bios specific on a PC if the option is available. If this is possible, does anyone have a link to instructions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Not to get in to an argument over semantics here, but by saying "Windows should boot if you have installed the requisite Boot Camp drivers," you are implying "that the Boot Camp drivers [are] needed for Windows to boot." I was just clarifying your post so people didn't get confused.
    As for booting a Mac Pro off a USB flash drive, if you have been successful in doing so, can you share with me your method? I've tried booting of an OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive and it's never worked on my Mac Pro. It doesn't show up when I hold option down and if I try to boot through rEFIt, I get an error about my Mac's firmware not supporting USB booting (I have the latest firmware installed, too). I've tried GPT and MBR partitions, both to no avail. Booting off USB hard disk drives is no problem though. And I can boot off this flash drive on a Core Duo iMac.
    Any ideas?

  • Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four  full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
    US English
    Western Spanish
    French
    Japanese
    ... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
    For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
    This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
    A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
    You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes.

  • Mac Pro Mail Problems?

    After an automatic software update on my MacPro this morning I cannot open Mail. I keep getting an error message that "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OSX. You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in : /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Mail.app. It can't be used on this version of Mac OSX. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button"
    I have never had a problem before with Mail and it only happened today after the automatic update. Now I can't open the application at all.

  • How many OS can you have in Mac Pro 1.1, have 3HDD so 3 OS?

    Hi,
    Currently have a Mac Pro 1.1, and want windows 64 bit as 32 bit isn't that good, keep running out of ram which slows the machine down! I currently have 2 HDD in this configuration:
    Disk 1: 250GB, mac osx 10.7.5
    Disk 2: 500GB windows 32 bit partition
                500GB mac extra storage partition
    I may get another HDD if I can install windows 7 64 bit on it, i just have a few questions.
    I have a patched windows 7 64 bit to allow it to install via bootcamp, but had problems before so erased it and installed 32 bit, (had driver issues on 64 bit, and non mac gpu so couldn't see boot screen).
    If I install it on a 3rd hard disk, will it show up when I hold down command when i boot up? I want to keep 32 bit in case something goes wrong.
    Someone with experience would be awesome!
    So I want to install windows 64 bit ultimate on a third hard drive without tampering with the others, i also want to know how to boot to it if it doesn't show up in the mac boot screen!
    I have 10GB of ram and would like to fully utilise it, that along with 8 cores would make a powerful machine, which is limited in 32 bit!
    Also, any additional guides to install it on a separate disk would be good!
    Many thanks

    In iTunes playlists and folders are two different things.  I assume you are asking about playlists.  100 will not be a problem.
    However, it is unnecessary to create a playlist for Now 82.  If the tracks are properly tagged, it will show up as an album.
