Copy mails from 3g to 4g

Is there ANY way to copy ma mails, not the settings from my old ipod touch to the new one.
it is really important.
I've got 3 accounts and in every account there are a lot of mails, so how can i transfer them all from my old 3g to the new 4g.
Thanks

but the mails are saved on the ipod.
i can read them all when i haven't got wlan.
so perhaps there is a possibility to read them out and copy them to the computer or to the new ipod.
the mails are still on the server i will try a restore and will post if i get them.

Copying Mails from one Mac to another Mac

Hi There,
I want to copy all my emails (pop account) from the harddisk of mini Mac OS X 10.4.6 to my PowerBook OS X 10.4.6. How to do? I tried it through .Mac but that doesn't work (when synchronising the source with .Mac the emails don't appear in Mail of .Mac.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Tom & Stuart
yes, Mail-File-Import Mailboxes will do it for the email messages & folder structure ( but not the account settings, perhaps?)
Copy the Mail folder from A to (say) the desktop on B
then on B, use Mail-file-import mailboxes-mail for mac OSX & point the importer to the copy of A's Mail folder.
The messages/folders will indeed appear inside an 'imported' folder, but can be moved freely from that.
Tom -
you may find, as I suggested, that you can't use the account on B that was on A.
This can also be transferred, by locating the Folder named POP-username@ mail server inside the copy of A's Mail folder & copying it into B's Mail folder. Then in B's Mail-prefs-accounts add a new account & enter the details exactly as you did when you set up the account on A.
If the messages aren't visible in the 'new' account
Quit Mail & start again, & all should be well.
Make a backup of B's Mail folder and /home/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist before you do this, & Quit Mail before moving any files/folders using Finder.
I hope that'll do what you want..... & with the backups made first - you can recover easily in case of mistakes.

Copy Mail from Mavericks

Well this is one I have seen discussed many times and all the current links I find all relate to older versions of OS-X
From what I have seen, and remember, to copy the Mac Mail to a new machine, you copy the mail folder from :
/Users/<username>/Library/
and then the plist file
from
Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/
Is this still the case?
Will this still work going from Mavericks to Yosemite?
I don't want to use the Migration assistant again..I have been using that for years now to upgrade and as can be seen from another thread of mine here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/27895863?ac_cid=op123456#27895863
That could well be the cause of my issues.
So a clean install is in order and a manual copy of just the items i need across...mail bing one of them, complete with my 6 POP mail boxes and all old e-mails and also full set of Rules, custom folders etc.

Hi Eric
Thanks for trying to help out, but as I said in my previous reply, I had found that Export mailbox command that you mention, but from what I see, that is precisely AALL it is, a Mailbox export, it does not export everything ...liek account settings , Rules, sub mail boxes etc etc. It just exports individual mailboxes.
I have doen a clean install of Yosemite on a separate HDD, so I will create a new user on the new install, and import those Exported Mailboxes, but I expect that it is only going to be what it is ays it is..a Mailbox export , not a complete "Mail" export.
thansk
I'll let yo know how it goes.,

How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems. I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems. On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid]. Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder. Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit. The format should look very familiar. This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server. This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up. It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format. The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers. Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]". The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
Mail delivery
Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it. The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder. This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue. Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

Preventing users to copy mails to Windows File System

Hi,
We want to prohibit users to copy mails from their Outlook inboxes (and other folders) to Windows explorer folders, by using Ctrl + C.
I'm trying two approaches:
1st - Change Windows clipboard settings to prevent users to add .msg files (Outlook messa format) to clipboard;
2nd - Change Outlook settings to prevent copy mail from folders.
I already searched in Group Police Management for an clipboard setting and also tried Office 2010 Administrative Template files, but there's no such option for Outlook.
We don't want to disable the clipboard for Outlook or Office, since users still can copy content from and to message bodies.
Is there a way to accomplish it?

This would be impossible to prevent AFAIK. There are many ways to save an email to a file, or drag and drop. You couldn't prevent all of them.

How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

I'm composing an e-mail, and I copy/paste from a web page.

Let's suppose I copy / paste from a web document. For the sake of argument I'm using Mail. A black box appears around the pasted part (with a "X" in the corner).
But, if I do a second paste, the new text is always inside the old box, therefore screwing up the indent.
I can't get the curser to start outside the box. How can I get rid of the box while composing?
Yes, the box disappears when I click outside it, but re-appears if I go for a new line below it.
Here's an example of how it looks.
#1. The fox.
The quick brown fox jumped over the i-mac.
#2. I'm frustrated that I can't paste or type where the first line started, indent wise.
Once the curser is after the word i-mac, and I try to move it down, the next line always goes to the indent of "The" and not #1.

I take you are trying to write an email within Safari, try this open Safari and click on the Safari menu and select reset Safari.

In snow lepard you:
1) Click the folder you want to export (e.g. Work mail)
2) Go to "Mailbox" then click "Archive Mailbox"
3) Then choose the pace you want to Archive it to
Then it will create a file that looks like this:
Then that is that mailbox.

Copying mail and addressbook to my M B Pro from a P book

Migration is almost over need to find how to copy mail and add book and do this without a headache. Just want to make sure that mail and add book will NOT run on Rosetta when I copy it over

The Mail folder, preference file, and AddressBook folder are independent of which version of Mac you are using because they are separate from the Mail application.
Remove any of the following files that exist on your Mac Pro, and replace with those from the PB: Mail folder (~/Library/Mail), com.apple.mail.plist (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the AddressBook folder (~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook).
If none exist on the Mac Pro, simply copy these files over.
Keep us posted.

Select "export' while in Windoz/Outlook and cerate an export file, then while in MacOS/Outlook select "import" and select the same file to import. You can use a thumb drive to sneakernet the file.

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

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.

Mail from Trash folder moves itself back to Inbox

I've been having a bit of an odd problem lately -- items from my Trash automatically re-appear in my inbox. It seems to have started with an e-mail from about three months ago, and whenever I click away to another folder (Sent, Drafts, etc.) and then click back to Inbox, another e-mail (in sequence according to date) will re-appear.
I have been simply deleting the revived e-mails (assuming they would go back to the trash folder), but I just found out that if I delete one of these e-mails, they are deleted for good.
My trash folder contains approximately 2700 e-mails, and I know I need to look for a mail archival program, but the problem isn't related to a "limit" on e-mails in a folder as far as I can tell.
Anybody have any idea as to what might cause this problem?
Any info would sure be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
DAVE
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Is there a reason you keep accumulating mail in the Trash mailbox and never permanently erase it? Using the Trash for archiving purposes just doesn't make sense to me. Why don't you create a custom "On My Mac" mailbox folder for that?
The following is what I would recommend to someone having your problem in "normal" circumstances. Your situation is clearly unusual, so don't blame me if it doesn't work for you
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/. You may want to 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.
3. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted later if this fixes the problem).
4. Launch Mail again and let it finish re-indexing everything -- it says it's "importing", but it's just re-creating the Envelope Index file.
