Can't get my old mails after Migration from iMac G4 to new iMac

Hi,
I bought this weekend my new iMac and transferred all data of the old iMac to my new one. Everything works fine except Mail: it is not possible to connect the Mailserver, the local stored e-mails are not visible. Mail knows the name of my mailfolders and complete setting (these settings work at the old iMac) but the folders are empty and it is not possible to quit Mail (only cmdaltesc works).
Does anybody knows this problem (or the solution)?
Thanks for response
Lubitsch

Assuming that both are running the same version of OS X, what you could do is copy the entire contents of the folder <home>/Library/Mail across from your old iMac to your new iMac and also copy the file com.apple.Mail.plist from the folder <home>/Library/Preferences on your old iMac to the same folder on your new iMac.
When you then start Mail it should operate as expected.

  • Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

    Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion.  I can run connection doctor OK.  But the activity window is blank.   If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes.  Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead.  Thanks for any help. 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. 
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

    can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
    needed RCA ... plz help..

    Hi,
    From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • HT4413 I migrating from my macbook to new imac. nothing showed up until I turned off the imac but everything I had done previously on the imac disappeared.

    I was migrating from macbook to a new imac.
    Nothing showed up until I turned off the imac.
    When I restarted the imac everythign I'd previously done was gome and the migrated macbook desktop had taken over.
    How do I bring back the original imac settings.
    Thanks

    You can't. When you migrate user accounts, those settings will be used. That's the point of migrating, not to have to reset things Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide for details.
    If you want to revert to the original user settings, create an new admin user account. That'll use the default user setup.

  • Can't get icloud to restore after crash from ios 8.1 update, says server not avaible, any suggestions?

    Had ipad2 crash during ios 8.1 update, tried different things to make it work, ended up booting as new.  Tried on a couple different days to restore from clould and it says server  not avaible, would love to get the info back, any suggestions?

    Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
    Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
    To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
    •Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

  • How can I get my old mail account back?

    I f&%€ up and deleted my old mail account after I had added my new one ( I've changed ISP). So all old mails disappeared.
    Is it possible to restore them my self? Or do I have to go to the Mac doctor?
    I'm greatful for all help

    Hi John and thank you.
    I use Mail.
    I deleted the settings for the old account by mistake - I just thought I wouldn't need it anymore after having set up the new one - and suddenly the inbox was empty. A not so nice surprise
    However I managed to find a folder named Mail with a POP - folder in it, in the trash can, which I dragged to my desktop. But I haven't been able to import it.
    I found some useful earlier threads and intructions from some David Gimeno, so I removed the .mbox extension from the INBOX.mbox file.
    BUT still, Mail won't import. It says it doesn't find any valid mbox files.
    The INBOX.mbox is about 12 Mb, so I recconed there would be something in it.

  • Outlook can't connect with Exchange 2013 after migration from Exchange 2007

    <style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style>
    Hello,
    recently we've done a Exchange 2007 sp3 to 2013 sp1. Users can conect perfectly with OWA and with his iphone clients.
    But the problem is they can't connect from his Outlook clients (2010, 2013), both internaly and externaly. Always fails with the message: The Connection to Exchange it is not avaliable.... Can't resolve the name of Exchange server.
    To try to resolve it we've done:
    - Check Outlook anywhere configuration en EAC: it is configure with and external url mail.company.com and internal server.domain.local. The security is the default Negociation, but we've tried all.
    - Check the internal dns, there are records for mail.company.com and exchangeserverdomain.local pointing to the exchange local ip. Also there is a public zone company.com with the record mail.caompany.com pointing to the exchange local ip. Also we've made
    records autodiscover.company.com and autodiscover.domain.local pointing to the exchange local ip.
    - In the public dns from our domain there is the record A and MX pointing our public ip. There aren't any record Autodiscover but we think that the manial conection should work.
    Check certificates: we've made a new self-signed certificate including all this internal and external domains and for all services.
    - Check Outlook Anywhere block: we've cheked.
    Currently server state:
    - Old Exchange 07 server can't start, it was in very bad state and we achieved migrate the mailbox to the new server, after that we tried to uninstall, but it crashes with a public folder replication error. We got uninstall all the roles
    unless the mailbox. After a restart it can't start.
    -The new Exchange 2013 looks great, there isn't any trail of the old server, or we haven't seen anything in the EAC or shell.
    I paste below the result of Microsoft Remote conectivity analaizer, with Outlook anywhere test. It is clear that there is a problem with that.
    Sorry because the test is in spanish and I translated it with google, from here I only can access the tool in spanish.
    We continue to try to resolve the problem.
    Thanks to all in advance!

  • Can't open ER-Model diagrams after migration from 9.0.5.2

    Hi
    I migrated my project with some ER-diagrams from 9.0.5.2 to 10.1.3. But after migration I'm not able to open the diagrams anymore. If I doubleclick or rightclick and select open: simply nothing happens.
    How can I make my migrated diagrams available in JDeveloper 10.1.3?
    Thanks in advance
    Frank Brandstetter

    Frank,
    Can you send me your original 9.0.5.2 project to me so that I can investigate?
    If so can you zip up the project and rename the '.zip' file to '.zap' to get it through the mail server.
    My email address is [email protected]

  • Can't get yosemite to working after waking from sleep mode

    I just installed Yosemite to my Mac Mini.  When the computer goers to sleep for more then 30 seconds I can wake the computer but then after i see the desktop I can't do anything on the computer every click i make does not respond and I have to force the computer to shut down and I have to reboot every time my computer goes to sleep.

    I have the exact same issue for the first time after installing Yosemite.  On resume from sleep, I can see the desktop, and can move the cursor with the mouse, but clicking on icons, etc. does nothing, and the keyboard does nothing. A cold boot works fine. This is a Mac Mini bought in the Summer of 2014. I run no unusual software. I have eliminated all log in items in Preferences/Accounts, reset the NPRAM, have no peripherals (other than standard Apple mini mouse and wireless keyboard), and have shutdown and unplugged to reset.  It makes no difference whether a password is required or not - once it goes to sleep, this is the result, and only a forced shut-down by holding the power button and a cold boot give me control back.  This problem does not appear if it merely goes into screensaver mode - which I invoke with a hot corner.

  • Migrate from minimac (G4) to new iMac via airport extreme

    I have a brand new iMac and I have the latest airport extreme.
    I have my old miniMac and all are linked up through the Airport Extreme.
    I want to transfer all of my old files from my G4 miniMac to my new iMac but the Migration Assistant says I have to use (buy) a firewire cable.
    How do I transfer my files from my old computer (miniMac) to the new iMac via airport extreme?

    sorry to say but its the firewire technique which Migration Asst. uses. It does not migrate over Ethernet.. its actually very simple...
    you put your G4 into target disk mode. You put the iMac into migration asst., attach the cable and the migration (file copying) begins after you chose to proceed.
    The reality is firewire is faster than most standard ethernet anyway... and wireless? it would take an extraordinary amount of time.

  • HT204053 how can I get my old info off of iCloud on to my new hard drive?

    I had the hard drive for my iMac replaced and used a different log-in for iCloud (I didn't realize I did). I can see my old log-in picture in iCloud so I know my old info is there.  So, how can I merge the new and old together.  The old account has all my files and itunes?

    You can not merge accounts and data of two accounts. If you want to have all of your data in one account then you will have to sign in and transfer your files manually to your harddrive so that you can safe them in a second step in your other account.
