Consolidating mail from various places

I'm looking for some general advice before I approach this intimidating problem. I had been using Mail to access various accounts on an IMAP server, until those accounts became overrun with SPAM. I then took an offer from a friend to send my mail to the server he administrates, which has great spam filtering enabled. So I pointed my mail domains at the new server, and used Thunderbird to connect to them, and have been enjoying excellent, low-spam mail ever since.
Now I want to go back to using Mail, and to import all of my old e-mail, and all my new mail. How can I consolidate all of these sources:
1. old server-side mail files on the old IMAP, riddled with spam (can I filter it through the new mail server?)
2. old Mail files stored locally on my laptop
3. new mail stored on the new IMAP server
4. new Thunderbird files stored locally on my laptop (Not sure where they are, or if there are any.)
And finally, how do I ensure that I have no duplicate e-mails across all these sources?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mail can handle multiple accounts at one time.  iCloud (me.com) only supports itself.  It is not an email client.

  • Clipping an image from various places at the same time

    Hi,
    I am trying to clip an image from various places at the same time. Is it possible to do it?
    Right now I am in this phase:
      g2D.clipRect(x, y, screen.getWidth() - 40, screen.getHeight() - 40);
                        g2D.drawImage(planet, null, 0, 0);The x and y of the clipRect method I want them to be different each time but it is only taking the first clip.

    You can make an Area from a Shape (like rectangle) and then add other clipping elements to that

  • Access Mail from work place

    I am not able to receive or send mail when I have my PowerBook at work. Can someone please advise what PORT I need to ask the IT people to open? Will this also enable me to access iChat??
    Thanks
    Larry

    It depends on what mail service you are using. POP/SMTP are probably still the most common, on 110/25, but there are several variants. IMAP mail (.mac) uses 143. Look at your account settings in mail's preferences, and tell your IT people what they are - they should know the appropriate ports. This doesn't mean they will permit it - it depends on your company's security policy.
    iChat uses several in the 5000 range; they are (or should be!) less likely to permit these.

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • Manually Transfer Mail from Snow Leopard to Mavericks

    I'm having trouble moving my mail accounts from Snow Leopard (iMac) to Mavericks (MacBook).
    For the past several months I have been using both computers, but with all my Mail work taking place on the iMac/Snow Leopard. Now I'm ready to use the MacBook exclusively. Using Migration Assistant isn't an option because it won't consolidate two user accounts.
    I followed the suggestions elsewhere and copied the ~/Library/Mail folder from the iMac (SL) to the MacBook's Library folder, replacing the Mail folder there.
    I then launched Mail.app. After 20-or-so minutes of processing, Mail.app asked me to create a new account. I chose 'Cancel' which caused Mail to automatically quit. So I went to the iCloud preference and turned on Mail (I had previously set it to Off). I then launched Mail.app again.
    I repeated this three times with the same results:
    - None of the mail accounts (I have a dozen of them) and none of their mailboxes (Inbox/Sent/Trash/...) showed up: neither under Mailboxes in the left panel, nor in Maill.app's Accounts preferences.
    - All of the 'On My Mac' folders appeared, but they were empty. Rebuilding the folders brought back most of the messages, but some messages were missing (the message counts in the various folders were lower by about 1~2%).
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    If the two machine's have two different username/password combos, you cant' do what you want. The only solution is to create a duplicate account on the MB, mimicking the one on the iMac and then copy the Mail folder into that user's Library folder. Then, use that as your primary user account, deleting the the useless other one.

  • Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

    I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
    The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
    I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
    1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
    2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
    3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
    4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
    According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
    1) Rebooting my computer, then...
    2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
    Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
    I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
    ...a...
    ...long...
    ...time...
    But its looking like its working.
    A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
    1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
    2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
    3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
    4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
    Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

  • Migrate mail from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5

    I have an extremely simple requirement, to manually migrate my mail from Snow leopard (10.6.8) to Lion (10.7.5). Explaining my situation below-
    I have an iMac(originally 10.6.8) and for multiple reasons, I chose to upgrade to Lion (10.7.5) rather than Mountain Lion. From snow leopard I have taken each and every type of back in the form of the folders and attached prefernce files, for example, as a backup of keychains, I have the keychains folder from the main library as well as the user library, similarly for address book, safari and mail. So in case of mail, I have copied, the mail folder from the main library, mail and mail downloads folder from the user library and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences folder in the user library. After taking the said backups I have formatted my machine and installed the operating system lion, 10.7.5
    Listing details of mail accounts, I have five live(Microsoft, live, outlook, hotmail, whatever you call them) accounts and one solitary gmail account. All these accounts are on POP protocol(simply because I want/need a copy of mails, communications and downloaded attachments to be on the mail server for emergency situations(such as this))
    Now the issues begin, speaking strictly in terms of mail. Listing steps taken and their results,
    1) Action - Followed the direct copy method listed in the link, (http://macs.about.com/b/2011/08/05/moving-your-snow-leopard-mail-to-lion.htm)
    Copied the following folders, mail folder from main library(I.e. under macintosh hd), mail and mail downloads folder from the user library, com.apple.plist from the preferences folder in the user library. Note. a) this is a fresh install of lion, the mail app hasn't been executed even once. b) I deleted the v2 folder already located inside the mail folder in the user library, because it was suggested in the comments section in the link above.
    Result - After the said process, I started mail(for the first time) mail detected the old structure, said it needed to reindex. After the process I could see all my accounts, all my mail, smart folders, all the attachments... Blissful. "BUT!!" when I hit get new mail, the mess begins. Mail starts to "RE" download ALL the mails AGAIN, 8000 mails, 7.5 gb worth of attachments.
    2) Action - after the above debacle, quit mail and studied its folder structures in the user library as well as the main library, compared this folder structure of my snow leopard mail backup and manually tried COPYING ".mbox" in their respective new folder locations. Eg. Copied, "inbox.mbox" of account "x" from my snow leopard backup to the newly created folder structure in lion (I.e. inside the v2 folder, inside the account x folder.) also copied each individual preference file like MailAccounts.plist and all and copied them to their new location.
    Result - the above process was an even bigger disaster. It corrupted my basic mail app. I had to perform an erase and reinstall the os.
    3) action - after the fresh reinstall, and doing further research, I set up accounts INDIVIDUALLY (I.e. via Add account) this time "importing" each individual mailboxes via import command, once imported, I placed the emails contained within, to their respective inboxes.
    Result - the above process too shows all my mails again, but when I hit get new mail, mail starts to redownload the **** mails from the server AGAIN!!
    I have tried the above processes umpteen number of times in different variations, such as only one account at a time or importing only one inbox at a time. Still no luck. This a very frustrating issue. I have been manually migrating mail for the past 5 years. This new v2 folder is ******* everything up.
    Note. Checked "duplicate mails" in lion help, which told me that duplicate mails get downloaded via the POP protocol if coming from an older version of OSx.
    So is there a way I can make my mail lion compatible? Some software, some plugin? The entire world seemed to migrate mail, why not me?
    A solution would be divine, as I am a designer with live projects and attachments stuck in the mail... Temporarily using mail from my iPad as my main machine which also has started acting like a ***** after ios 7, which is another headache all together.
    Need help please, anyone on the forum with knowledge on how to solve this issue would have a special place in my heart besides a million thanks in advance.
    Thanks a million in advance,
    Abu Suda.

    Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
    Reindex messages.
    If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
    Quit the application.
    You need to look in your user Library. 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/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.  Move the file to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    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 had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • I can't SEND e-mail from an account on my iPad 4, that CAN receive -mail

    Hi Again,
    I am hoping someone on this forum will possibly have an answer to a very confusing problem.
    I can't seem to get one of my e-mail accounts to be set up 'properly' on my iPad 4. The account in question is an account from BT, which has @btinternet.com at the end of it. I have 'installed' and deleted this account more than ten times. When setting up this account (as with all other accounts that DO work properly), the only info I am 'asked' to input is my name, e-mail address and password, in the 'text entry spaces' that relate to the INCOMING mail server. When this is done I USUALLY see the word 'verifying........' Then the 'blue tick marks' confirming that the info I have entered is correct. The validity of this info is also confirmed by the fact that this account can RECEIVE the e-mails sent to it.
    Each of the last four or five times I have deleted this e-mail account and re-installed it I have NOT seen the word 'verifying.....' And I have NOT seen the aforementioned blue ticks. Selecting 'done' after re-entering my info just makes this settings box disappear, rather than show the verifying and the blue ticks, which then allows me to see that the account is 'properly' set up - or should be anyway.
    Even so I still get all the e-mails again, but still cannot SEND, OR REPLY
    The error message I get every single time I try to SEND, OR REPLY using this same e-mail account is:
    'Cannot Send Mail'
    'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
    My username and password are NOT incorrect. The set up process does not even ask for a username or password for 'SMTP'!
    Even if I go further into the settings for this account, I can find two spaces where I COULD put a username and password, for SMTP, but these spaces already have the words 'optional' in them so they are not supposed to be 'required'. Even if I DO put in these spaces my surname and password for this e-mail account it does not make any difference.
    I have tried 'switching on' the 'other mail servers' which are shown below the 'Primary mail server' in another settings box, for the btinternet.com e-mail account settings, but this still does not stop the error message, AND the e-mail in question is then actually sent from one of the e-mail accounts connected with the 'other mail servers' - I know this because it appears in the 'sent' items folder of whichever account my iPad has decided to use at the time (not always the same one either). It also appears in the sent items folder of the account that I TRIED to use, despite the fact it was NOT sent from this account, and the error message said I cannot send mail (from this account).
    I have contacted Apple Tech Support and they have told me that the problem is NOT with the iPad, it is with the 'account provider'. This is because they say that the info held and used by BT - the info that is used as the 'correct info', that is compared to what I have put in the set up boxes on my iPad - IS actually the info that is incorrect despite the fact that the info I use on my iPad and the info I use on the BT website (which was originally determined by ME when I first got my account) and is held by BT, is the info that is causing the problem of the error message. To put it another way, the info referred to in the error message is NOT incorrect, the error message is incorrectly generated.
    Typically, BT have tried to deny the problem is caused by them because 'the info referred to' - which is my e-mail address and password - works correctly an ALL places that is supposed to work (on the BT website) AND works with the BT/iPad applications like BT Wi-Fi, BT Smart talk, etc. :( :( :(
    Any help or advice that anyone could give will be very greatly appreciated
    Many thanks
    Bob

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

  • Help! I need to import OLD e-mails from my AOL mail...

    Well, I've tried on my own, but it's time to seek out a higher power...
    I have old e-mails from AOL 2.7 and 3.0 that I saved on my computer. I just downloaded AOL 5.0 (in Classic) as well as AOL for OS X, and I can open these messages up individually in those programs. But the question is, how can I add those e-mails to my Personal Filing Cabinet in one of those programs, so that I can (the holy grail) eventually get them in to my Apple Mail program? While I can open them up individually now, I can't figure out how to save them into either more recent AOL program -- I think that once I manage to do that, then I can use that AOL Services Assistant thing to get the messages into Apple Mail.
    Can anybody help? Thanks!
    G4 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hey Ali B,
    Thanks for giving this a shot. Here's the best I can remember it: I was using AOL 2.7 in the late 90's, and to make my in-box smaller I saved various e-mails in their own folders, taking them out of the AOL Inbox (which was on my computer, fyi). Now, here's the latest wrinkle -- I found a version of AOL 2.7, and can easily take the e-mails that are saved in my AOL 2.7 Inbox and export them to a later version, and from there to my Apple Mail. But HERE'S the tricky thing -- when I take those earlier e-mails that I pulled out of the AOL Inbox and drop them back into the Inbox folder, they don't get added to the Inbox when I open AOL! I can open them individually in 2.7 (the icons are the same in the Inbox Folder, all e-mails look the same, both the new ones and the old ones), but that also doesn't add them to the AOL Inbox.
    Here, it seems to me, is the problem. In the Mail folder is also another icon (and file) that says my screen name, and that somehow incorporates all of the e-mails that are saved under that screen name. And I don't know how to change that file -- just launching AOL 2.7 (or, for that matter, dropping these new messages into the appropriate folder) doesn't help -- only the original messages show up in my AOL 2.7 Inbox, not the additional ones I've added.
    And, of course, when I upgrade to 3.0 (or 5.0 or AOL for OS X) these e-mails in my Inbox get added to my Personal Filing Cabinet, and I can't think of any other way to get the other (previously removed) e-mails into the Filing Cabinet.
    Does that make any sense whatsoever?

  • How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

    I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • How do I send emails from various accounts in gmail from my iPad?

    I imap 3 accounts through my gmail account. Gmail, in it's browser form, allows me to choose from which account I send an email from  in a drop-down menu. I don't see how to do this on the iPad mail app or through safari for iPad.
    If not possible, what are ur solutions for efficiently responding to emails from various accounts on the iPad (network solutions, gmail, and university).
    Thanks!

    If you log into Gmail from a computer, you can specify in the settings to always reply from the account the email came from. You should only have to do it once for each account.

  • Not getting e-mails from wireless cam in Windows 8 Mail App

    Please forgive me if this is not being asked in the correct forum.  I could not find another place that seemed to fit.  Feel free to move it if necessary.
    I have two Linksys Wireless IP Cameras.  Both are configured to detection motion and send an e-mail with 5 pictures to my Live.com e-mail address.
    This configuration has been working for over 1 year and works.  To verify, I get e-mails from the both cameras when I use Internet Explorer and login to http:// mail.live.com  with my live.com (aka Hotmail) email account.
    I upgraded to Windows 8, logged on the very first time with my Microsoft Live account.  From all appearances, it looks like the Windows 8 Mail App was configured to use my live.com e-mail account.  There are message there that I see when I login via
    Internet Explorer.
    The problem is, I never ever get any of the emails that were sent from my Wireless Cameras in the Windows 8 Mail app.
    If I sign in to my live.com email account via Internet Explorer those messages are there.  As a test, while I was looking at one of my emails via Internet Explorer, I forwarded it to myself.  That message with pictures and all did arrive in the Windows
    8 Mail app.
    So, does anyone have any ideas why the Windows 8 Mail app does not get the e-mails sent from my Wireless Cameras?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Normally I do use IE to check my email.  I want to use the new stuff.  Note that the camera is stand alone and not connected to any computers.  It is a wireless IP camera and is configured to send e-mail when it detects motion.  Linksys
    has told me that in general, the camera is compatible with Windows 8 but there are no drivers to plug it in directly to a computer with Window 8.
    You stated that you suspect that the mail app does not support the function.  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  It is a mail application and should present me with any incoming e-mails to my account regardless of where they come from. 
    I know that the camera is working because I can see the message via IE in Windows 8 and in the Mail App on my Windows Phone 7.
    So, if the Windows 8 Mail app does not support the function, why I can view one of the e-mails from my camera using IE in Windows 8 and then forward it to myself at the same e-mail address and then the forwarded message arrives with all the pictures
    attached and is viewable in Windows 8 mail app.
    I have also setup my camera to send e-mail to my work account.  At work we have Exchange and I use Outlook 2010.  I get the messages from the camera in that program without any problems.
    I also get the message using the Windows Phone 7 Mail App.
    I just can't understand why the Windows 8 mail app is ignoring or blocking message that are coming from my cameras.

  • E-mail from Verizon says I can "Upgrade Now" and has special prices, but VZW won't honor ad!

    I got an e-mail from Verizon last night that says "Get your new phone now. Save up to $50 on already discounted phones". The e-mail has some prices on it, such as a new Droid X for $99.99 (2 Year Price: 199.99, online discount -$50.00, exclusive discount -$50.00). The e-mail clearly indicates (by use of the last 4 digits of my phone number) which phone on my contract the offer is good for. When I click on the link in the e-mail, it takes me over to the VZW website, where I enter my username and password. Once I do that, the Droid X is priced at $149.99 (instead of $99.99), and there is NO $50 discount applied to any other phones. I called Verizon's customer service, and got the run around. One CS Rep told me I wasn't eligible for a new phone (then why the e-mail?), and then told me that another line on my contract was eligible for a upgrade. When I check into upgrades on that line, however, the prices are the same as on the first line). I asked to speak to a customer service supervisor, and had to wait an hour before one called back. He also didn't know anything about the e-mail, and implied that I was lying about it.... He asked me to fax the e-mail to him, and then stated it would take several DAYS for him to even get the fax, let alone get back to me. It is my expectation that I will never hear from the Verizon supervisor about this, and will never have the chance to take advantage of this offer. This is CRAPPY customer service! I have been a VZW customer for about 15 years, and have several smartphones ($$$ per month total) on my account. I'm beginning to run out of reasons not to jump ship when my contracts end. I'd like someone from VZW who has a clue what they're doing to contact me...but I'm not holding my breath!

    It sounds like this is a standard email for when your NE2 upgrade is available. That would be where the extra $50 comes from. Unfortunately, if the email literally says "Save up to $50 on already discounted phones" that does not guarantee a full $50 off. I can understand your frustration that you got the email in the first place when your line isn't eligible for an upgrade, but Verizon is most likely trying to get you to use the upgrade on the line that is eligible. I'm not saying that is exactly what's happening, but everytime I contacted customer service or went in the store, they tried to get me to use one of my line's upgrades for my own line, which I did not want.

  • Transporting Mail from  Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4.9

    Hello,
    I need transport mail from a Quad G5 with Mac Os 10.4.8 to a Mac Pro with Mac Os 10.4.9.
    Can I simply place a copy of the Mail folder which is in the users>home>library folder and the application preference file <com.apple.mail.plist> which is in the users>home>library>preferences folder from the G5 to the same location on the Mac Pro?
    Thank you,
    Scott

    Hello Scott.
    Yes, Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
    If both computers are running the same major version of Mac OS X, copying these (the preferences file and the entire Mail folder) from one computer to the other is all you need to do in order to have an exact copy of all your messages, mailboxes and Mail settings on both computers.
    Similarly, Address Book (which you may want to transfer as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/.
    In order to avoid potential permissions issues, copy the files operating on the destination computer and while logged in as the user that’s going to use them. Also, be sure the affected applications aren’t running on either computer while doing that.
    In order to avoid accidentally losing any data (which might happen as a result of copying files in the wrong direction by mistake, for example), instead of overwriting the ~/Library/Mail folder on the destination right away, move it to the Desktop before transferring the files, and delete it only after making sure that you don’t miss anything.
    Note, however, that if what you really want is merge the mail currently stored on one computer with the mail stored on the other, you should use the File > Import Mailboxes function instead.
    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.
