Copy mail subfolders to another mac

My firend has sub folders set up in one of his mail accounts on his Macbook so he can seperate mail from family and firends. Is there a way he can copy one of those folders to another computer. He doesnt want to copy all the mail on that computer just the contents of one of the folders to his iMac.
Whats the best way to accompish that? Any easy sneakernet way?

The best way to transfer apps is connecting the device to his Mac. It will ask you for authorize the computer

  • How do I copy Apple Mail signatures to another Mac?

    I'm trying to copy all my Apple Mail signatures to another Mac. Both are running Mountain Lion.

    The signatures are located in <login dir>/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures
    The .plist files are significant, as they associate the signature to the e-mail account. Though I have not copied Mail signatures to another machine, I would take a copy of the entire Signature folder, and use that on the other machine, adjusting for any differences in e-mail accounts/signatures used there.

  • How to copy tags preferences to another mac

    Hi I have spent some time setting up my preferences for "Tags" in Mavericks on a MacBook.
    Does anyone know a way I can copy this setup to another Mac without having to key in all the Tag names and assign Colours again?
    Thanks in advance

    Tags are metadata. So, if you copy a tagged file to another computer through a media "metadata aware", those informations are transferred transparently. Media is an abstraction for disk, network or whatever is used as a mean of transport.
    You can visualize tags associated to a file via the command line with the xattr command
    xattr -p com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags MyTaggedFile | xxd -r -p | plutil -convert xml1 - -o -
    Change MyTaggedFile with a filename you tagged to display the result.
    Or copy the tags assigned to file1 to a second file, file2
    xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$(xattr -px com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags file1)" file2;xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo "$(xattr -px com.apple.FinderInfo file1)" file2

  • How do I transfer my copy of Mainstage to another Mac?

    I bought MainStage from Apple last year and ran it for live purposes on  my MacBook Pro, but I want to use it on my Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Mac Pro now.
    I can't find an "installer" on the MacBook Pro… just the application file itself and when I copy it over to the Mac Pro (tower) it won't launch as it says it's 'incomplete' or 'damaged'.
    Can anyone recommend a way to move the prgramme across?

    Did you purchase it from the App Store?  If so log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it previously, go to the Purfhases section and look for it there.  You should be able to download and install again.

  • Copying Mail folders from one Mac to another

    I'm consolidating my iMac and laptop, and keeping just the MacBookPro. Mostly, everything's gone smoothly: I networked the two with an ethernet cable, dragged the relevant iMac folders into the Public folder, and copied them onto the laptop.
    But now there's a glitch. I would like to keep an old email folder. I exported the folder from Mail, put it in the Public folder, and, on the laptop, tried to drag it over to the relevant folder. No dice. "Items can’t be copied to “XXXXX” because you don’t have permission to read them."
    I went into Get Info, and changed the permissions for the folder, and every item in it, to "Read & Write."
    But I still get the same message.
    What should I try next?

    Write permission is irrelevant. The user you're connecting as via File Sharing must have read access for the files. Probably you're connecting as Guest, so that means "everyone" must have read access.

    Hi, I never tried going backwards with it, but the files/folders involved for 10.4 anyway are...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    For Address Book...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...

  • Copying iPhoto Library to another Mac

    I tried to copying my (12 GB) iPhoto Library folder from my 27 inch iMac to an external hard disc to use same library in my 15 inch MacBook Pro for many times but a message telling me that the file is to large to be transferred to my external HDD.
    anyone another way to do so, please tell me.
    Thank you,,,

    You would reformat the drive with Disk Utility. It needs to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that reformatting will erase the drive, so back up first. Also, WIndow machines will not be able to read the drive afterwards.

  • How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

    I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

    Hi refalci,
    The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
    You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
    You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.  
    Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
    Open the Safari application, then:
    Export bookmarks:
    Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
    On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
    Import bookmarks:
    Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
    Hope that helps ...

  • How to get mail prefs and emails to another Mac?

    Hi,
    How do I take all my accounts and emails to another Mac? Just copying the ~/library/mail folder doesn't copy the account data. When I copy that folder to another Mac, Mail does not recognize the account data.

    Hi current,
    In addition to ~/Library/Mail, copy over ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
    Then launch Mail. If it asks to import anything, decline.

  • Can I download iPhoto from another Mac?

    Hi guys,
    I have an iMac running Mavericks, and also a MacBook Pro 2011. I accidentally deleted iPhoto on the iMac, and since iPhoto comes pre-installed, I have it on the MacBook Pro. Do you think it is a good idea for me to copy the .app file and place it in my Applications directory on the iMac?
    I just don't want there to be any problems if I do this.
    Thanks

    As long as you properly accepted the iLife apps into your Mac App Store account (you should see them with all the other apps in the Purchases list) when you first configured the new Mac, then there should be no issue copying the app to another Mac that you own or control.

    Yes, Imap systems store all mail on the server, all connected clients are synchronized to the server (the mail itself stays on the server)
    ... regarding the POP accounts. Do you simply want the contents are or you planning on continued use of these accounts on the new machine?
    Continued use.
    Export each mailbox from the old machine to the desktop, to do so select a mailbox, rght click and choose Export, repeat for all others. Move the mailboxes to the new machine'sdesktop.
    I suggest setting up the new accounts before importing the mail from the old machine.
    In mail choose File>Import Mailboxes, choose the ones on the desktop (one at a time) a new mailbox will appear in Mail called Imported, you can move mail from there back to the correct mailbox in the POP accounts.
