Copying all mail and folders from one mac to another

I have a pop account that loads to my imac. all the mail is sorted into folders and kept there till needed. is it possible to take all the mail on my imac and transfer it to my macbookpro so i have all my files sorted when i go on trips? can i either upload it or do it through .mac? i thought i could just archive the whole thing like in entourage and reopen it, but i haven't found a way to do that yet. Can you help?

All your mail and mail attaachments are in /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail and /Users/inahayes/Library/Mail Downloads (unless you set up your Mail downloads to be saved somewhere else). While not hte most elegant of solutions, conceivably, you could manually afp-mount one computer onto the other's desktop (⌘k or ⇧⌘k in Finder) and drag those two folders to the corresponding /Users/inahayes/Library folder on the MBP. When you return from your trip, do the same thing in the opposite direction. However, an imap account would eliminate this problem, if you have the ability to migrate to an imap account.

AOL mail and Folders have dissappeared AGAIN!!!!

I just went to open my mail and it is all GONE!!!!.
All of the new and old mail. All of my folders and Saved mail.
This happened a few months ago but as soon as I went to the forums I saw a lot of people with this problem. I don't see anybody right now complaining about mail.

My mail just came back. I sent myself an e-mail and the whole thing was loaded again.

I changed my website's host and although I can access all existing mail and folders via the cpanel at my new host, my PC account now doesn't show the folders?

I had to change the details of my mail accounts to the new mail server details of the new host and also the port. All files have been deleted off the previous server.
I did have a lot of folders with emails stored and I can access these through the mail option on my new host's cpanel. However, they have disappeared from my still existing version of TB that I have running on my PC.
I did do a back up copy a few weeks ago but I don't know how to reinstall that. I also figure if it exists on the new server / host, there may be a way to 'pull them back in' to my existing profile?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)

I'd suggest to check with your service provider about their IMAP server. It's functionality may be limited, or you may need to configure something on the server.

Question on Mail and Folders.. Please read as I need to describe

hello days with my new Imac
and loved it .
I like mail a lot too and all works ok so far.
When i create an autmatic folder - great feature - it all works perfectly
but the emails from that folder still show in my inbox folder too ,is there any way to tell mail to only show it in the specific folder?
is just i like to keep inbox clean and only see there the new messages i get if not is so full.
Many thx

A Smart mailbox is search list -- the messages don't move, but are referenced where they reside. This allows a Smart mailbox to span several mailboxes/folders or merely be a subset of one.
In the Mail, a New Mailbox has always been the basic level folder for archiving messages outside of the standard account mailboxes. Smart Mailboxes were an added feature, not a replacement.

Lost all my mail and folders after installing mavericks. How can I get these back?

After Installing Maverick on my Mac it seems that I have no mail folders anymore and I lost also all the mails that were stored. How do I get these back?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

All mail and folders dissappeared

Was working on my mac in mail when it shut down, now when I go back all the folders and all mail has gone Is there any why to recover all that?

They are probably hidden. I seem to recall that happening on ML installation.
Do you see your account name(s) in all-caps gray letters under the "MAILBOXES" list in the left sidebar? If so, hover the cursor to the right of the account name (at the right side of the column, under the unread message counts). If you see the word "Show" appear, click on it; the mailboxes in that account should be releaved.

My changes to an external hard drive's files and folders vanished.

Something crazy happened with a Mac-formatted external hard drive I've been working with. Today, out of nowhere, it reverted to a state where tons of organizational work I have done on the folder contents vanished. Files I deleted were restored, files I renamed were back to their old names, and an entire folder of stuff I rendered is missing. This work dates back for weeks. However, photo keywords that I added yesterday are still there. The only thing I can think of is that something weird happened with Time Machine. I briefly connected the hard drive to an iMac yesterday, and loaded up time machine to look at the backups. However, the problem hard drive is not the one that Time Machine backs up to, and I definitely didn't restore any previous backups. I have no idea how this happened.

Where is your Library? On the iMac? On the External? What version of iPhoto do you have?

I am using gmail w/iphone and 2 macs. Should my mails and folders under mail all be in sync? They aren't. Also AOL is merged in there too.

I primarily use Gmail. I have set up my system so that all my email accounts integrate into Gmail.
I then move them to folders as appropriate.
I have a Mac desktop, Iphone and Air.
What would keep these devices from not all having the same folders conaining the same emails.
Also, some emails sow up on sme devices and some dont and all the accounts are properly set up on all the devices.
When I delete on one, does it remove it from all, etc.
Very frustrated.

Mailboxes and Folders in Mail

Does anyone know why mail creates folders for my IMAP accounts named "Deleted Messages", "Junk", "Sent" etc. I already have these setup as mailboxes at the top of mail and folders don't seem to mirrow my mailboxes just have a small selection of random emails.
Mail seems to create these folders for each mailbox I create and I'm wondering if I can safely delete them?
Thnx,
Kerry

don't delete those mailboxes. Mail didn't create them. those are mailboxes created on the server at the moment your email account was first created. they are used for example when you access your account from webmail. you can use them instead of the mailboxes that Mail set up later. say, select "sent" mailbox in the imap section at the bottom. then go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

Hi everybody on this line...
I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks in advance

You're welcome.
Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
together with two folders that I have made (Prut
mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

Saved Digital ID to desktop, all desktop files and folders immediately vanished from computer

I was signing a document in Abobe Reader, and instructed to create a new digital ID in order to do so.
when I did this, I chose to save the digital ID to the desktop, replacing whatever its original destination to be saved to was.
when I hit finish, every single file and folder on my desktop vanished from my laptop (Macbook air running OSX Yosemite) completely. I have searched everyone and gone through a live chat with an Apple specialist who has had access to my screen and cannot find anything. All files and folders, music and photos that were not on my desktop are still here. I have tried re-starting.
Does anyone have any idea what has happened and how to fix it? I am a graduate student and part of my dissertation was on my desktop. I am an idiot for not having backed it up properly, and will be buying an external hard drive and using Time Machine immediately.

Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for contacting Adobe via this forum and other correspondence.
I see that Adobe Support has contacted you directly and is working with you on this issue.

outlook mail app display arabic mail subjects and folders names as "??????" , any way to solve this problem ? thanks

That's nonsense, if you look at the settings you will see you can put the entire device into Arabic if you want, as well as type and read Arabic emails and other docs. The font is there, but for some reason the encoding is botched, either by the app or the place sending the email to the iPad.
