Copying mail Preferences and Library from an eMac to an iMac Intel

I have copied the Preferences and the Mail folder of Library from en eMac to an iMac Intel.
The accounts appears but not the mailboxes I had in the eMac.
Could anybody help me please?

guillermo,
You may have to rebuild the Index. Within the folder <home>/Library/Mail there is a file "Envelope Index". Close Mail and then using Finder, move that file to the desktop and then re-open Mail. This will cause Mail to re-create the "Envelope Index" which will hopefully cause your mailboxes to be visible. If that works then you can move the file "Envelope Index" from the Desktop to the Trash.
Post back with the results.

Is there any way to copy Mail preferences and settings

While trying to defrag my HDD using Drive Genius it corrupted some file and rendered my HDD useless and was forced to install a new HDD. The problem that I have right now is wetting up my mail account (fortunately) I have a month old backup, can any body tell what files I need to copy from my backup to be able to have my mail work for me.

if u r goin to format ur hdd u hav 2 backup 2 things......
one is ur mail folder(user/library/mail) and com.apple.mail.plist(user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist)
make a copy of these files and then no worries - all ur mails and mail settings will be safe. after formatting u dont have to reconfigure ur mail, just copy and paste mail.plist to preferences folder (replace it) and if all mails are not showing up import ur mail folder.
saving network plist wont help......

How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

Hello all
I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
So here's the question(s):
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

No.

Try using Firewire target mode.

I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
Is it possible to merge the libraries?
Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
Thanks for your help!

1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
3. Yes.

The Mail application has suddenly started giving error:

It was working fine till yesterday, suddenly it stopped. I have 3 email accounts configured here, 2 are on exchange servers and one yahoo. Connection verification works and shows all servers as green.
Any inputs?

I had 3 accounts, 2 ms exchange accounts and 1 yahoo. After removal of yahoo, everything is back to normal.

Mac Mail Issue: I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes, now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I c

I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
it's = it is
Mac Mail's fault = possessive
any help with the actual issue? thanks!

Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once?

Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once? Not copy it, but actually drag and drop it into my music folder on my computer more than once if needed?

Nothing is going to stop you from dragging it in multiple times, but what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to get iTunes to look through the folder and pick up newly added song files?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

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.

HELP!!! Mail preferences and toolbar HELP!!! PLEASE!

I am trying to change my font size to default to a lerger size. I looked in email help, and it said to go to mail preferences, and select font & color, There is no Font & Color in my email preferences! Also whenever I shut down my Mac, my email icon dissapears from my tool bar, How do I get it to stay?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
I think you have your Toolbar hidden. The simplest way to show the Toolbar, is to click on the small, white, pill-shaped button at the top right of the Mail Preference pane -- do you see this?
For the issue of the Mail Icon, do you mean the Dock, rather than the Toolbar? If you mean Dock, have you ever removed the Mail Icon from the Dock? If, once you have launched Mail, and it is in the Dock, Conrol-click over that Icon, and choose Keep in Dock from the resulting contextual menu.
More info, please.

Copy my notes and contacts from my itouch to my ipad

How do I copy my notes and contacts from my Itouch to my Ipad2?

You could sync both devices with iCloud, however there has been mixed results with iCloud deleting stuff.
You can plug your touch into your comptuer, sync them via itunes, then use itunes to put it onto your ipad.
You can e-mail them from the touch to an account you can open on the ipad...which is a bit tedious cause it happens one at a time.
