How do I find and read mail messages on my SuperDuper backup?

I have a new mbp and did not migrate anything from old mbp. I made a SuperDuper backup of old computer so I have data I may need. How do I find my mailboxes and be able to read messages that I need on my my backup. I know I could export mailboxes but that's a lot of work up front. If I can just get to a message when needed on my backup that would be great. Thanks.

Another question - my backup is Lion and new mbp is Mountain Lion - will that be a problem?
Regarding what? Did you try starting from your backup?

  • How can I find and save deleted messages on my Mac?

    i am searching for ddeleted messages on my Mac and I can't find them.  If they are attainable, how do I save them?

    Hi,
    Presuming the Post is about the Messages app and iMessages.
    If you delete them they are gone or the Mac.
    An iMessages arrives  and is displayed in the App.
    there is a setting in the Preferences > General section about Saving on Close.
    The iMessages are also stored in the chat.db items (unless deleted) and this provides the "history" when you reconnect to a contact who is not currently on display in the main window.
    In Mavericks Saved Chats and the chat.db items (there are three in total) are held in different places.
    The app does not work like Mail where the emails can be left on the Server and "read" by other devices.
    The iMessages are pushed to the devices that then accepts them.
    After that the "sync" function ends (What you do with the iMessages on one device is not seen or changed on another)

  • How can I find and read emails that Thunderbird has downloaded to my computer?

    I have read that Thunderbird puts copies of emails into the profiles folder. On finding the folder I see what looks like the folder names I have made in Thunderbird and yet see no individual emails. When I try to open them Thunderbird wants to make them an attachment in an outgoing email. Also, as of now Thunderbird only wants to connect to the ISP and open the emails there.

    re: supplied image of 2014.sbd file
    Yes the files (no extension) these are mbox files and have different sizes so they must contain emails.
    I also notice that all the '''.msf '''files are a different date and firefox files instead of text file that look same as the mbox file.
    In your Profile folder, Mail, Local folders - Locate the file you showed us in the image.
    Close Thunderbird now - this is important.
    Delete all the files that show a .msf extension.
    Restart Thunderbird.

  • Inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages

    inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages, there are thousands of them.

    go thru all your mail boxes, and delete, all your synced boxes, highlight the stuff you want to trash, click delete.
    Go thru all the boxes and do the delete, then go to your server trash, and delete.
    You canthen go to on my mac and do the same thing.
    This is way different than 10.6.8, and I'm sure there is a much better way to do this, but at least it will get rid of some junk.
    Sorry this all I can offer.
    I'm sure someone who has been working with OS can offer a much better path.

  • How do I find and delete phantom email messages?

    The icon says I have five new messages (up from one a few weeks ago), but I can't find them in any of the folders (I have looked on both phone and computer). I have also changed my settings to erase deleted messages in 24 hours, but the phantom messages still seem to exist. How do I find and delete them.

    Under the file tab in iTunes, select Display Duplicates. From there you can delete them as well.

  • How can I find out the mail server from email address?

    Hi:
    How can I find out the mail server from email address?
    for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
    how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
    THANK YOU

    You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
    The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

    Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

  • How do I remove and reinstall Mail under iOS?

    My Mail program with both my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S keeps growing constantly in size. My iPad Mail is now at 1.7 GB. ALL messages are deleted, trash is deleted, etc. The program just isn't reclaiming storage after deletions.
    I filed a bug with Apple as an Apple Developer but, after about 3 weeks, I got a message from Apple indicating that the bug had been removed because it was a duplicate. In other words, other people also have this problem (it is possible that ALL people may not have it).
    Two upgrades ago, my iPad had to totally re-install from scratch (something went wrong with the upgrade). The Mail program went back to about 50 MB. As mentioned, it has now grown back to 1.7 GB (on iPad 2, only 1.4 GB on my iPhone). At this size, it is taking a significant amount of my RAM -- it was probably the reason the upgrade failed two times ago (not enough free RAM).
    I need to remove my mail program and reinstall it -- or even completely refresh my iPhone/iPad.  I keep hoping Apple will fix the problem but 7.1.2 still hasn't fixed it.
    How do I remove and reinstall Mail (or -- at the worst -- refresh the entire iOS device (using backups from iCloud for important settings)?
    Thank you. It will probably be up to 2+ GB by the end of July.

    You may a bit mixed up in your terms.
    RAM in an iPad/iPhone is like the RAM in your computer. It's used to run the operating system and open apps.
    On the other hand, your storage space (16GB, 32GB, etc) is like the capacity of your computer's hard drive.
    If you are short of storage space, look at these links.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do I save and display all messages in non primary email address

    I have 2 email accounts on Thunderbird. The emails to the secondary account are not saved. I can open and read new messages but if I want to view them later, they are gone. My primary email retains all messages. Can I configure Thunderbird so I can retain all messages on more than one email account? If so, How?

    There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
    There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
    If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
    If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
    Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
    If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
    1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
    2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
    3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
    4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
    a) Number of messages?
    b) Size on disk?
    5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
    What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
    6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?

  • How do i download and e-mail from a zip drive without opening the file

    How do I download and e-mail data from a zip drive without opening the file?

    Hi.
    If you have a Zip drive, you can handle the file as you would any other file. Copy and paste.  Drag and drop. Select and attach as an email attachment.
    Zip drive data discs came in two capacities, 100MB and 250MB. So the largest files would not exceed those capacities, depending on the media from which they are pulled.
    The trick, I should think, would be finding a working drive that can read the media... and hope that media is not corrupted. Zip media was notorious for failing.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi ,
    I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
    You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
    Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
