Can't move imported messages to inbox on Mail

I just finished importing my lifetime of email from Eudora into Apple Mail 4.5.  My Eudora IN box became just another mailbox called "in" in Mail.  I am trying to move the messages from this mailbox to the Inbox of Mail, but everytime I try to this I get the following error message:
The message could not be moved to the mailbox “(null)” The destination mailbox does not exist.
But of course it exists!  It Mail's default inbox.
Can anyone help me figure out what to do?
Thank you

Is this the Inbox of a POP account?  Try using Rebuild on both the account Inbox, and this import mailbox.  Rebuild found in the pull-down under Mailbox.

  • How do I import a Thunderbird inbox using Mail.app?

    Hi all:)
    I've managed to convince my mother she should get a Mac, and so far she's loving it. The only problem is that I can't import her emails from Thunderbird (Windows version) onto Mail.app. I followed the instructions on the Mozilla website (http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq.html#export) for exporting emails, but Mail insists that those are not compatible .mbox files.
    I then found this article (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050402143519725) on Mac OS X Hints, but even following its instructions, I couldn't work it out (Mail kept giving me the same error).
    Does anyone know how to import Thunderbird's inbox onto Mail? Any help it appreciated
    Cheers
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel.
    It isn’t clear what the problem really is with the information you’ve provided — what does “Mail insists that those are not compatible .mbox files” mean?
    Anyway, you’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion. Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards, but instead of rebuilding them one by one, you can re-create the entire index as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Mail won't import messages to inbox after envelope file moved to desktop

    I had some kind of problem with a HD backup that cause my mac pro quad to lapse into beach ball mode. I had to restart and found my mail app had problems. All messages in other mailboxes are ok, sent items are ok, but inbox has lost messages. The messages are viewable from pop mailbox folder (in library). I moved envelope file to desktop and tried importing messages, but received a sql error notification and only very old message appeared. I backed up my mail folder before this procedure, and I have a copy of the same account on my laptop. So I have the messages, but can't seem to get them back into the mail program on the mac pro (running latest version of 10.4 osx).thx ra

    after running the command the mac supplied me with this wonderful response. Hope it means something to you..thx ra

  • Can't move email out of inbox

    Hi,
    I cannot move more than one email (if that) out of the inbox to folders designated "On My Mac" - see first screenshot. Why? Another problem I have run into is that clicking on the '?' on the error message gives me a  blank page in Help Viewer - see second screenshot. Why?

    You asked :
    Do you have junk mail filtering enabled on your Mac.
    Have you made any changes since this started happening?
    Do you have a Junk mailbox in the sidebar?
    Do you have Mail rules created marking messages as Junk?
    No I didnt/dont have junk mail filtering.
    No changes either.
    Dont have Junk mailbox in Sidebar
    No rules.
    OK. In addition to the above, open disk utility and repair permissions on your internal hard drive volume.
    Retry in Mail and see if it corrects the problem.
    Repaired permissions but can only move 3  emails at a time.

  • Can't properly Import messages from WLM to Outlook 2010

    I have installed windows 7 ultimate (32 bit) edition in my system, also I installed MS Office 2010 Professional Plus.
    I used Outlook Express as my email client for last 10 years, and hence I have huge mail storage to import to Windows7. I’ve decided to use Outlook as my email client now on.
    I have successfully imported all my OE messages to Windows Live Mail in my Windows7 system, and now I want to import them to Outlook2010. But when I try to import them from Outlook – it can’t see any messages to import. And when I export it from
    WLM, most of the (but NOT all) messages exported to Outlook, but when I open the exported messages from Outlook I see the ‘Internet headers’ are blank for all the messages.
    I am digging my head for last 1 week to resolve this issue but found no fix, can anyone help me please!
    Thanks in advance.
    ~Sanjoy

    You need to export from WLM and yes, the headers will be blank.  If you have an old computer with OE on it, you can export to Outlook then move the pst to the new computer.
    Diane, I just purchased Outlook 2010 and have a serious issue with losing the header information when exporting data from
    Windows Mail. It seems that Microsoft recently fixed this problem (partially) which I found referenced on a different site. I went to the control panel (I'm using Vista), and ran Windows Update. After updating both the Important and the Optional items, I went
    into Outlook 2010 and imported my mail and contacts from Windows Mail. The header information does now import correctly. However, in WM there is a column which shows you from which of your accounts an email arrived. In Outlook it's called "Category". This
    information remains lost after the migration, and the entire column is empty (though new emails that are downloaded do get tagged properly). Can you tell me how to re-import my messages without losing this information? Would using your workaround of importing
    the files into an earlier version of Outlook solve this problem? If so, which version should I use?

  • Can't Move Imported Skype Recording in GarageBand

    Hi all,
    I run GB 10.0.2 on my MBP (OSX 10.9.2).
    I record a conversation in Skype using Call Recorder 2.5.8
    Whenever I import (drop & drag) a recorded track to GB, I can't move it and it shows a little lock Inside the track.
    I can cut parts out of the track, but I can't move it left or right.
    I can create a new track and drag it there. But the lock doesn't disappear, and the track won't move.
    I've looked in the Locked settings of GB and there (on the left sidebar) it shows as being unlocked.
    How do I solve this?
    thx
    Chris

    We would help, if we knew the answer, Chris. I have not worked with Call Recorder 2.5.8. So I cannot check the output format of that program, and we are supposed to try all advice on our own computer before recommending a solution. So I can give you only a general idea what to check for.
    What you are describing, is very typical for movie tracks. If you import a video instead of an audio file to GarageBand 10.0, the audio file track will be locked and cannot be moved.  What is the format of the media files you are importing to your GarageBand project?  If you want to edit the audio, try to extract the audio from your recorded conversation with the tools provided by "CallRecorder" and import only the audio, not the video.
    If that does not work, use GarageBand to extract the audio from your conversation.  After importing your saved conversation to a track, share the track (Share > Export song to disk) as an audio file to your disk. Then reimport the shared audio and delete the previous track.  Now you should be able to edit the audio properly.

  • "Can't move focus" message

    I'm attempting CSH WebHelp from IE7 and getting the following
    error message:
    "Can’t move focus to the control because it is
    invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the

    Any suggestions?

    Perhaps worth adding that it works OK in Firefox.

  • Can't retrieve sent messages from my Desktop Mail application

    Hi,
    Whenever I use a computer away from home to send email, I always click the option to save the sent message in the sent folder. Then, when I get home, I used to retreive those messages from the iDisk icon on my Mail, and then move that message to my sent folder on my Mail, in my desktop at home.
    But now, I don't know why, when I drag them to the sent folder in my desktop, these messages just disappear. There is NO way I can move them to my sent folder on my desktop. I tried several things, but I admit I am not good at all with computers, so here I am ... It's funny because I tried to drag those sent messages to my Inbox folder and it worked, but I want to move them to my sent folder, as I used to do.
    Thanks for your help!

    ok lets see if my solution fits my undertsanding of your problem.
    A .Mac account is essentially an IMAP account. This means that Mailboxes and the Mail in them is replicated identically on the Server every time you synchronize (either manually or in Preferences). Mail is deleted when you do it manually, or automatically - again as part of Preferences. Mail you send through the browser should be replicated on your desktop Mail.app next time you synchronize.
    If you create a Mailbox under your user account, this Mailbox is replicated on the server. If however you create an Mailbox that is "On my Mac", and move mail to it, you are effectively moving it off the server and onto your desktop, which may explain why it is disappearing.
    Realistically with a .Mac account you should not have to drag Sent Items anywhere.
    Because it is a .Mac account, check these things.
    In Mail.app on your desktop:
    1) Preferences/Accounts/.Mac Account/Mailbox Behaviors. Check "Store Sent Messages on the Server and then an option for deleting them. This will ensure Sent Messages remain on the server.
    2) Preferences/Accounts/.Mac Account/Advanced. Check Automatically Synchronize Changed Mailboxes if you want the Server to be updated immediately. Leave it blank and mail will be updated when you log on and off and if you Synchronize manually.
    Through .Mac
    1) Log onto .Mac through the browser - to Mail. Go to Preferences/Composing and ensure that "Save sent messages to" - (Sent Messages) is checked. Save your settings.
    Send one test mail using Mail.app and then one through the browser. Your sent mail should appear in the Sent Mail folders on both Mail.app and the server, and you should not have to drag sent mail from or to anywhere.

  • How can I redirect all messages to 2 another mail servers?

    Hi all
    ./imsimta version
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
    libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
    I wanted to redirect all messages(in and out) to another mail server, I configured as follows,
    - imta.cnf
    ! tcp_local
    tcp_local smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
    ! tcp_intranet
    tcp_intranet smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
    - backother.filter
    require ["fileinto"];
    if address :all :matches ["From"]["*"]{
    redirect "[email protected]";
    keep;
    stop;
    One e-mail account receives all messgaes and those messages will be kept in sender's or receiver's mail storage.
    I want , however, redirect all messages 2 or 3 mail servers.
    I tried several things to do this include edit backother.filter(this is written in Sieve ), but I failed.
    Is there any way to redirect messages to another mail servers?
    Any way would be good , using sieve script, make antoher channel or channel keyword
    Thanks

    Redirecting the message means it will not be delivered to the original recipient.I know so I wrote 'keep' keyword to deliver messages to the original recipient.
    capture "[email protected]";
    I tested it but the capture's behavior was very weird, subject had changed to something like,'deliverd status notice', sender had changed to postmaster and additional notice messgae inserted into mail body.The default sieve capture action encapsulates the email to keep a copy of both the envelope information and the original message. MS7u3 also supports the Exchange journal encapsulation format through the addition of the ":journal" parameter.
    I edited 'capture' like this..
    capture :message "[email protected]";
    The ":message" flag removes the encapsulation -- therefore you will have no idea of who the original sender/recipients were as the envelope information has been discarded.
    It worked fine. It was same as the result of 'redirect'.
    but the following line, sent10 messages to each recipients.(receive_01,receive_02)
    capture :message "[email protected],[email protected]";
    maybe there was some 'loop' actions happened.The email produced by the capture sieve action is being "captured" which is resulting in a loop. You can stop this by adding an envelope test e.g.
    require ["envelope"];
    if not envelope :is ["to"] ["[email protected]","[email protected]"]
            capture :message "[email protected]";
            capture :message "[email protected]";
    }Regards,
    Shane.
