How do I get emails from my archived PREVIOUS SYSTEM

I recently had to reinstall Mac OS X. I chose to archive my previous system. This was a GREAT feature because i was able to find all my previously installed apps/songs/movies and just drag them into the new system:)
However, is there a way to get all my old emails from "MAIL" on my previous system? I had some mailboxes setup in Mail on my previous system, and had some emaild in my mailboxes that I would like to import over into my new, current system.
How can this be done?
THANKS!

I take it you did an archive and install without preserving your user settings.
Otherwise all this stuff would have been automatically imported.
you can restore your mail to the state it was in prior to the reinstall as follows.
quit Mail. go to Previous systems folder and inside there should be a folder YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM corresponding to the install date. go there->users/Username. that's your archived home directory. in it find the folder Library/Mail and the file Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. copy them to the corresponding places in your current home directory. once you start Mail it should look just as it was prior to the reinstall.

  • How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes and old emails to appear on my iPhone?

    How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes to appear on my iPhone? I am happy to use any combination of Thunderbird and Apples so that I can sort and archive incoming emails into existing folder (names), and access old emails (1,000s of them) that are only on my iMac now.

    First off Thunderbird does not have a version for iPhone so you need to ask the Apple genius how to work your phone. Secondly most mobile devices will not have enough storage for thousands of messages.
    Your best solution is to setup IMAP email accounts. IMAP was developed just for this use. The messages are stored on the email providers server and you access and manage them from your computer and mobile devices.

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

    To stop all email notifications or to select those you want to have go to Your Stuff in the top right of this window. Then select Your Preferences. When that page loads you will see a tab for Email Notifications. Select that and go through the choice for how or when you want to be notified by email, or not.

  • I get email from a friend and it shows my name instead of hers as the sender. how can i fix?

    I get emails from a friend of mine and when i receive them they show my name instead of hers as the sender. I will often miss them because I often copy myself on important emails. In my address book, her email is correct.
    How can I fix this?

    Does your mail account allow you to view the same message in a browser (webmail interface) to see whether this is a problem local to Thunderbird or actually exists in the message on the server?

    If it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it so as to stop them

  • How do i quit getting emails from the support discussions......

    please help. everytime a post comes in i get another email. i need it to stop. it's driving me nuts....

    OneAHis,
    There is 3 sections to subscriptions.
    Subscriptions to topics, subscriptions for categories, and subscriptions to individual users.
    You can also set how often you get emails under "My Settings"
    Also in Mac OS X 10.5 you can mark an RSS feed to show up in Mail, those aren't actually emailed.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?

    Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing  so I really hope someone can help me
    I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
    Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
    But here's the problem :  I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though.  Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
    While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ .  I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
    What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out. 
    Thanks,
    D.

     I should say if u could try to keep this simple as I am by no means a computer wiz!. Having said that I have a Verizon account & friend's of mine have AOL but for some reason we can not send email to each other as it keeps coming back.
     My question is why is this? I love Verizon but have never had this with any of the other providers I had. Is there something I need to turn off? & if so what & how?. I'm really lost as to why I can't send nor get email from AOL. If anyone could explain it but in a way I can understand it this would be great!.
     Thank you for your time!

  • How do I transfer emails from iphone4 to mac?

    I recently was terminated from my job and now obviously don't have access to my work email. But I need to save all the emails I have currently on my iphone. How do I get them from my iphone to my personal computer without loosing any of them or the attachments? Thanks!

    The iPhone does not sync messages with anything but the server. They are also not part of the iPhone backup.
    Messages residing on your employer's Exchange server are the property of the Employer. If you can't forward them and select a different outgoing account for the from address, you'll have to transcribe them by hand.

  • How to send only email from workflow

    Hi Guys,
    I want to send an email from a workflow without sending a notification ... how do i do it ?
    Thanks In advance
    Tom.

    Hi,
    Two possible ways - neither of which I would recommend.
    1 - Write a trigger on the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table, so that if the notification for the process that you require is sent, then you populate the mailer status column to 'spoof' the mailer into thinking that it has already sent it. That should suppress the email.
    2 - Modify the flow to include an activity prior to the notification to change the recipient preferences to not receive email, send the notification, then change the preferences back.
    Email is an "all or nothing" solution - either get email from everything, or get it from nothing. How are they planning on dealing with the notification that they are sent? If they are logging into the application to view the notification, then you could consider sending summary notification emails, and force the users to log into the application to view them all, rather than trying to adopt a half-and-half solution where some things come by email and some only come in the application.
    HTH,

  • How to send group emails from ipad

    How to send group emails from ipad

    Thanks.  So matters haven't changed.  Ipad and iohone systems still not make use of the groups created in OSX Contacts, although one can "see" the groups synced through iCloud.  They just do not function as real distribution lists in Mail.
    With the Mailshot app, one creates Mailshot groups with Mailshot group name.  It's as smooth as a work around can get.
    Silly that Apple iOS folks never got around to connecting the contact groups now listed in iOS Contacts through iCloud syncing to also be fully functional in iOS Mail for the purpose of group emailing.
