Can I manualy transfer emails from Panther Mail to Tiger Mail ?

Hi I'd like to grab my previous emails that were in a Panther iBook !
I made a backup from my old iBook (before selling it) of the "Mailboxes" folder, and all the "POP-user@domain" folders. With everything inside.
I copied manually all the "*.boxes", except for the "Outbox.mbox" from the old the "Mailboxes" folder to the new "/Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes" folder.
I get the mailboxes but can not retrieve the old emails. They are all empty.
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something.
I did this cause I sold that iBook 6 month ago. Thanks !

Tiger Mail uses a different mbox filing format than previous Mail.app versions and I don't believe a manual transfer will work.
Try using the Import Mailboxes feature instead choosing "Other" instead of Mail for OS X.

  • How do I transfer email from Panther to TIger?

    It seems this is a tricky one:
    I have a new iMac running TIger, and I want to transfer my emails from my Powerbook running Panther (10.3.9)
    I have tried to manually copy all the appropriate folders:
    the Mail folder in the User/Me folder, in the User/Me/Library/ folder, and the User/Me/Library/Caches/...
    This did import the folders, but they were empty- no emails, except for the new emails that were in the Inbox.
    I can see the .mbox files, but Mail 2.0.5 doesnt seem to see them... Is there an Import option?

    Replace ~(yourhome)/library/mail with the same folder from your PB.
    Replace ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist with the same file from your PB. This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
    When you launch Mail for the first time, decline any prompt to import.

  • Can't send talktalk emails from apple mail.

    My talk talk inbox on the apple mail programme is stubbornly empty and I can't send emails from it. My aol account works fine. It's a POP setting account I think and the incoming port number is correct at 110. Don't know how to check the outgoing port which I gather should be 587. How can I repopulate my inbox and send emails from the laptop again? I can from my phone and iPad.

    No, there have been no problems here. Run Connection Doctor, and tell us what it reports, particularly about the SMTP?

  • Can i hide icloud emails from mac mail?

    hi.
    i have all my old @me email address set up in my mac mail app but now iCloud as kicked in i also see duplicates of them with @icloud.
    it makes my list of emails to send from seem much larger than it is.
    is there any way to hide the @icloud emails from the list to keep it more simple?
    cheers

    hey. what im saying is that when i send an email i can see (from the drop down menu) all my emails that i can send from.
    i have duplicates of those in the list...
    so i see
    [email protected] AND [email protected]
    so... for about 3 or 4 emails i see 8 available email addresses to send from.
    is there a way of hiding the @icloud emails so my list isnt so long and confusing.
    do you see what im saying now?

    Hi,
    I take it you meant export from apple mail.
    If so there is no export option available... Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, have a import option for apple mail but no export.
    Cheers

  • Why can I not send email from my mail on my computer?

    I am receiving mail into my inbox, but cannot send out?  anyone have any ideas?

    FIXED!
    Had the same problem. AOL had been working for months, stopped working for no reason. I checked the settings against aol's instructions and the username was wrong - aol state that the username should not have the @aol.com suffix but it did. The next problem encountered was that the iPad would not let me change the username under outgoing smtp settings. Answer is to do the following:
    Go to settings -> mail ->aol account ->outgoing mail server.
    Turn the primary smtp server off.
    Create a new one for smtp.aol.com with the username without @aol.com at the end and your password.
    The rest of the settings should populate automatically.
    Good luck.

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How can I get my email from Outlook on the PC to Mac's Mail on Lion?

    I am trying to move years worth of emails from Outlook on a PC to a new MacBook Air. The database of emails is about 5GBs. I can find different settings to export the emails in PC formats, but not a single one listed in the Lion version of Mail. It can import from Mac Mail, Thunderbird and Entourage, but not Outlook. Is there a way to export the files and import them on to the Mac that anyone has had success with?

    Follow the link in the post
    Also, another way is to transfer via IMAP:
    Moving Email from PC Outlook to Apple Mail
    "An easy (and free) way to transfer email from Outlook (Windows) to Mail (Mac) is to use an IMAP account (e.g. Gmail) as an intermediary between the two. It's simple and reliable but can be a bit slow for large amounts of email. Expect over an hour per Gigabyte."
    For other alternatives, Google is your friend

  • How to transfer emails from Mail onto iphone?

    just got my iphone and having fun using it so far.
    i am trying to get work out how Mail works on the iphone in terms of how it syncs with Mail on my imac.
    i really want to load some old emails from Mail (on my imac) onto the iphone. i tried dragging them from Mail onto the iphone icon in itunes but it won't let me do that.
    for example i deleted some emails on the iphone by mistake, yet they are still in my inbox on the imac and wish to transfer them back onto the iphone so i can read thme on the move.
    is there a way to do so?

    Email account mailboxes and messages are not included in the iTunes sync process and you cannot drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa.
    The iPhone's Mail app is no different in this regard from using an email client on your computer.
    If you want email account mailboxes and messages to be kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account, not a POP account. Either way there is no option to drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa just as it isn't possible to do the same between two email clients on your computer.

  • I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

    I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look. 

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    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
    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 have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    Can't delete certain emails from Mail.  Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."  The problem appears randomly.

    I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."
