Can Mac Mail nicknames be migrated with Migration assistant?

I have a user that moved from a computer running 10.8 to another running 10.8 using Migration Assistant. The only issue she had was with her Mac Mail. Her local folders and contacts transferred, but nicknames associated with those contacts did not. So, when she types in, for example, her daughter's name, it no longer populates the address field with her email address. Is there a way to recreate those nicknames? Thanks!

I think this is because of Mail menu > Window > Previous Recipients. The next time, it probably will save it and populate the address filed in next email she sends. You could try a copy paste from her old system but I'm not sure and can't test that right now.

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

Mac mail no longer works with iCloud

Since installing icloud, my mac mail is no longer working.

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Mac Mail refuses to work with exchange

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. My job uses Outlook Web Access for e mail, but it goes to my iPhone and iPad just fine. I tried setting up the same exchange settings on Mail 4.3. It completely destroyed my program. I had imap gmail set up in Mac Mail and both accounts refused to send or receive any e mail at all. I deleted both and emptied my cache (essentially resetting mail to factory) and set up just the exchange account. It connects to pop and smtp, but refuses to send or receive anything. I don't even get the rotating circle that it's even trying. I've had to dump the program and use Entourage, which I hate.
I really want to use Mac Mail is there anything else I can do? My IT department is pretty unknowledgable when it comes to Macs.

Anyone? I'm now using Outlook and it's worse.

Delete email in mavericks mac mail doesn't work with google app

Hello,
I've got a macbook pro retina. I've received it with mavericks pre-installed, I've done the update to 10.9.1.
I got a google app account it was use previously with mac mail on mac os X 10.8.
I've resetup it with the all mail settings imap shown. The "Auto-Expunge on" is set to "- Immediately update the server. (default)"
The problems are:
- each time I delete a message in inbox it re-appear if I click on another folder (like sent) and go back to inbox.
- if I move a message from inbox to a local folder it doesn't move it, It copy it. Before mavericks that feature was working.
Could you tell me what are the right settings in google app mail to set to work well with mavericks?
Thanks a lot, this new mac mail app is hard to work with...

Mac Mail won't sync with 2nd Gmail account

I'm using Mac Mail (ver 6.6) on OSX 10.8.5 on my Macbook Pro.
I have my Mac Mail set up to fetch mail from multiple email accounts through IMAP. One of these is my old trusted personal gmail account, and it has been working fine for 2 years. However, yesterday, I added a new email account called "d-ourovino", which is for a business. The "dourovino" account is hosted at gmail as well. It is now working and syncing fine. But since I've added "dourovino", my old personal gmail account has stopped syncing, even though I didn't change any of its settings. What is going on? I'm at a total loss. Any suggestions?
See screenshot below...

This unlocking of the CAPTCHA also got my gmail to work. I think, just by noticing how gmail works, that if you make too many sign in requests within a certain amount of time---they load the CAPTCHA process to make sure you're a real person and not a computer. Since I was signing off and on repeatedly trying to figure out why it wouldn't take what I KNEW to be the password---turning off the CAPTCHA function just let gmail take your user name and password and log in. YEAH FOR THE HELP!!

Mac Virgin! Need Help with migrating files from PC

I am currently waiting for my Mac to be shipped to me and want to be prepared to transfer all of my PC files over once it gets here. I need to know if I need a cord of some sort (USB?) to connect the PC and Mac in order to do this.
Thanks!

Hi Winnie7779,
If you purchased the MBP from Apple, you can take it and your PC to your local Apple Store, and they will transfer the files for you. If this is not an option, you should probably pick up a copy of Switching to the Mac The Missing Manual (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514129/index.html). This book was in invaluable resource for my switch earlier this year. It will answer many of your questions, and give you an offline resource to browse. As for your design files, if the program you used on Windows has a Mac version, the file shouldn't need any conversion, and will just open in the native program. In the case where there is no native program, the Mac version may have its own importing option. If there is no comparable Mac program, there is not much you can do on the Mac side. Fortunately, all recent Macs can run Windows, using a program like Parallels Desktop for Mac (http://www.parallels.com) or VMWare Fusion (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/). These programs allow you run Windows in a window on the Mac Desktop, and then you could run your WIndows programs directly and use the files that way. Another and cheaper alternative is to use Boot Camp, which is included with Leopard, this will allow you to reboot and turn your Mac into a fully featured Windows PC. Good luck!

Mac Mail doesn't send with parentheses in signature...

I met with someone at the Apple Genius Bar today to try and troubleshoot a problem I've been having with sending mail via Comcast.
In short we were able to find a workaround I decided to post what we concluded in the case that someone else can clarify or benefit from what we learned... which is that any parentheses in the e-mail signature prevents the e-mail from being sent.
We attempted, almost 40 e-mails, of various configurations of the signature which contained a phone number. regardless of its position, formatting including newline characters, when the phone number didn't have the parentheses the mail sent.
And all these tests occurred with a fresh new e-mail account which by default set perfectly every time. Attachments, pasted and graphics, made no difference. All the previous mailboxes were also removed and plans were trashed so we were starting from a clean start.
This is with Mail version 4.5 and OS 10.6.8 on an iMac... I can't go to mail 5 I need to run Rosetta.

I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

I need help streamlining my email accounts. Can Apple Mail and iCloud work with comcast and gmail?

I have been using Apple Mail to manage four email accounts. I want to consolidate the four email accounts: icloud, gmail, and 2 comcast accounts. And I want them to sync across my devices, iMac 2009, running Mavericks, ipad and iphone (both running IOS7). I have been using comcast for my work account(s), but they do not sync between devices.
If possible, I would like to keep using Apple Mail as my main email client. I do not mind trashing some of the email accounts (which is probably a choice I need to make).
In light of upgrading to Mavericks and ios7 what is the latest thinking on this issue?

iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account. What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address. (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts. I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)

Can´t Mail handle smtp/s with authentication?

My mailserver is running on linux and allows only authenticated connections (unprotected and also protected by SSL (imaps)). Connection to the imap server works when starting mail for the first time.
However the connection to my outgoing mail server (which is postfix also using authentication and optionally ssl) doesn´t work.
The following shows up in the logs:
May 14 04:58:38 daolin postfix/smtpd[22964]: connect from unknown[192.168.9.251]
May 14 04:58:38 daolin postfix/smtpd[22964]: setting up TLS connection from unknown[192.168.9.251]

any chance to get mail working with postfix?

ZAM to ZCM Migration with Migration tool

Hi,
I'm just about to start a test run on a test ZCM server from ZAM 7.5 to ZCM 10.3. I'm using an account that has read only rights to the ZAM database. Does it need anything higher?
Because I'm running a test migration will this affect anything when I go to run it into production? Does the migration tool mark anything in the database to stop the production ZAM from running?
Thanks
Nathan

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
No need ,by design exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
Please reply me if you have any queries .
Regards
S.Nithyanandham
Thanks S.Nithyanandham
