Can't import mailboxes from 10.4(PC) to 10.8

I have a new Imac running 10.8.3. I am trying to import my mailboxes from my old Imac PC running 10.4. The import wizard doesn't work for 10.4 PC. I have tried copying mailboxes from my library onto an external harddrive and then copying them into the mailboxes folder in the library on my new Imac, and the mailbox folder shows up on my mail window, but none of the emails in the folder display. They do show in the library in the individual mailbox folders in the library as emix files, but don't display in the mail program window. What do I need to do to get them to display?

Can you list step by step in detail what you did?
I got a bazillion import choices in 10.8.5 from 10.4.11...

  • How can I import mailboxes from Eudora to my new POP Mail account?

    Good afternoon!
    I have 10.4.11 on my Mac Mini and want to transfer my mail service from Eudora to Mail. I opened a POP account, but when I tried to import mailboxes from the Eudora Folder stored in Documents I got an Error message: No valid Eudora files were found.
    I know the mailbox folder is in the Eudora Folder in Documents, so why can't Mail find it?

    I'm not sure if you need Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, but you might take a look at it.

  • Restored OS, can't import mailboxes from previous system

    Dang. I've tried every which way to get email files from the archived "previous systems" folder over to my new email library. If I try to import mailboxes, it doesn't detect valid mailboxes to import. If I literally drag and drop email files to the new inbox, the files move over but I can't see them in mail viewer. The only way it has worked is to open each old file individually (they do open and read OK) and choose 'move to' from the message menu. I can then move the file to a mailbox on the new viewer and it shows up fine. But I have thousands of old emails and this would drive me nuts.
    Any input or ideas?

    Hi jdlaln, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems, & I think may make the ones you moved over show up...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • Importing Mailboxes from Panther to Tiger

    I am attempting to import mailboxes from one Mac operating on Panther to a new Mac Mini operating on Tiger. The directions simply say to go to "import mailboxes" which I have done. The folders show up in my new Mail however they are all empty. Of course, they are not empty on my Panther OS. Any solutions?

    I don't know what is it that you've tried, but there are a few things you should be aware of. First of all, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.0 is broken. Take a look at this thread to better understand the problem:
    Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    Now, the easiest way to bring your mail from the old machine to the new one would be to just copy the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and the HOME/Library/Mail folder from the old machine into the same location on the new machine. Note, however, that, depending how do you transfer the files from one machine to the other, file ownership of those files can be messed up and Disk Utility won't be able to fix that afterwards. For best results, whatever you do, be sure you do it from the new machine and while logged in as the user that's going to use those files in that machine.
    When launching Mail on the new machine, Mail should realize that the mail database has to be converted to the new format used by Mail 2.0 and should proceed to import all your mailboxes. If you want this to succeed, be sure you've read the thread I've provided a link to above, and tidy up your mailboxes in Panther before attempting to import them in Tiger.
    You may also want to consider using Migration Assistant. I don't know whether this would be a good idea or not, however:

    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

    I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

    Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
    The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your

    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the

  • Can you import music from an itunes from one computer to another?

    can you import music from itunes on one computer to another?

    There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:
    New PC & moving iTunes library
    iTunes: Copying music between authorised computers with iTunes for Windows
