Getting old email on my new mac

First, I apologize if this is covered elsewhere. I bought a macbook last night. I've moved over most of my stuff from my old imac (running 10.4) to the new mac boo (running 10.5). I've got the mail account set up, but how do I get the old emails over to the new machine.
Thanks for any help.

quit mail on the new computer and move the folder homedirectory/library/mail AND the file homedirectory/library/com.apple.mail.plist to the corresponding locations on the new computer. delete the already existing folder and file on the new computer first. then when you start Mail it will look just like it did on the old computer including all accounts and messages.

  • Forwarding old email to a new mac email

    Is there a way to forward my comcast.net email address to my new .mac email
    address, I recently switched to FIOS and comcast is cancelling my email address
    FIOS will forward for 30 days only to a verizon.net account not a mac account

    Jason,
    Forwarding should normally include attachments, images and links. However, forwarding of messages with RTF or HTML will often trigger a spam filter somewhere in the path which could then alter the message. You need to be sure that is not happening. To check this send, or have someone send, a simple Plain Text message with attached JPEG to your old account, and see if this forwards correctly.
    What SMTP is being used by the old account, and who provides it?
    Keep in mind that if you receive messages in your old account, then you can Move them to the .Mac account Inbox with a simple Move To command in the Rule rather than a Forward, and then they would be in the .Mac Inbox with the original headers instead of those headers that result from a Forward.
    More info, please.

  • Cannot get old email messages onto new Z10

    I have a bb9800 and am trying to get the old email messages off of it onto the new Z10. The 9800 only had the telus.blackberry.net email address and on the Z10 I have the company email. Is there a way to get those emails over other than forwarding them all individually

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If you mean that you wish to have your old @telus emails visible on your Z10, the answer is no. That email was provided by BIS, and BB10 does not use BIS. Hence, those email addresses cannot be configured to a BB10 device. So, the only way to have those emails on the BB10 device is via forwarding from the @telus email account over to one that indeed can be integrated to the Z10.
    BTW -- you need to migrate off of that @telus email address, as it will be going away. They are allowing one year of auto-forwarding (which you need to configure...contact Telus for assistance), after which that @telus email address will cease to exist.
    Good luck!

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account.  Help?

    I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account.  Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips?  Anyone? 

    Four transfers.  After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc.  Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all.  She sent me this link to help:  Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac.  I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1! 

  • I need help connecting my old pc to my new mac book pro.

    I cannot connect my old pc to my new mac book pro. Can anyone help me through this process. Thx.

    OK. Starting with iTunes: Macworld - How to transfer iTunes libraries between PC and Mac.
    Get yourself an external hard drive and format it using NTFS on your PC. OS X can read from an NTFS formatted drive. Copy your photos and documents to this drive. Use the drive to transfer you iTunes data via the method outlined in the above linked article. This will prove easier and faster than using a network.

  • Old i-pod and new mac book pro

    I have an old i-pod (I think refered to as classic) and an new mac book pro.  I managed i-pod files on sony vios that I no longer have.  I want to connect i-pod to new pro to manage files.  I do not want to lose music.  What is the process to get i-pod to recognize new mac book. 

    Try going to the app store, in your applications folder.
    Then go to the purchases section and if you see iphoto in the selection it should have an install button on the right click that and it will install.

  • Need to swap my Acrobat XI from my old PC to my new Mac laptop.

    I submitted a request to swap my Acrobat XI from my old PC to my new Mac laptop.  I received a response from Adobe to deactivate the license on the old PC and I completed that task on 1/22/15 and responded back to Adobe on the same day.  As of 1/26/15, I am still awaiting a response from Adobe to activate Acrobat XI on my new Mac. I need this for business purposes and am finding this process to be very slow.  How can I have this process/response expedited so I can install Acrobat XI on my Mac? Is there a way to contact Adobe thru chat, e-mail or phone?

  • Need help getting I phone music onto new Mac computer

    Just got a new Mac pro. I'm having trouble trying to get my Ipod music from my I-phone to the Mac. I've tried everything I know. I must be just missing something. Every time I try to sync, it tells me it will erase everything on the phone when it puts all the mac files to the phone, and there are not any files on the mac yet. Scared to continue afraid it will erase all my music. any help appreciated.

    Use Migration Assistant or something to duplicate (more or less) your old computer on the new Mac pro. I believe you just move the iTunes Library folder into the same place on the new machine, but google should help. Then re-sync the phone.
    If your old computer is inaccessible, PhoneView or TouchCopy may help out.
