How do I get mail received on a macbook to an iMac

How do I get mail received on a macbook to an iMac?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Maybe some background: I have several pop-accounts on my iMac.
Due to repairs I brought my iMac to the servicecenter.
During the three weeks of the repairs I got a spare Macbook, so I could keep on working.
A lot of the mail is not on the server of my provider anymore.
The mail I want to keep I saved those in Mail in a special folder on that Macbook.
I thougt it was easy to get that folder to my iMac and into mail. I couldn't find a way to do.
How do I get that folder into an IMAP mail account?
Thanks!

  • How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

    Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
    None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received  to/from these people.
    How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
    (I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)

  • How do you get mail out of the Outbox?

    How do you get mail out of the Outbox?  I've taken pictures and am trying to email them.  The emails are stuck in Outbox.

    Thanks Diggie, your response was very close.  I clicked on the email several times.  It came up and gave me the option to Send.  I clicked Send and my recipients received the email.
    I did not have to delete and reinstall my email account.
    Have a good day.

  • How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
    There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

  • How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?

    Hello all,
    this is my first time using apple Support Community.  i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful).  however, i am having some difficulties. 
    How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
    Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
    Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have. 
    Paul.

    I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue.  The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing.  It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
    I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers.  I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations.  I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways.  I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted.  So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head.  So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago.  I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
    Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up.  So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking.  I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it.  I tend to be less careful when typing something out.  If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling.  Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
    We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure.  I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things.  Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen.  Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

  • How can I get mail to address addressees by their first name, first?

    I like it that Mail is integrated with Contacts. But when I type a name in the To: section, it is always shown as last name, first name. How can I get Mail to address my friends as Gary Smith, not Smith Gary??

  • How do I get MAIL mailbox passwords to stay set?

    I've recently upgraded to OS 10.4.9 and my MAIL mailbox passwords will not stay set. I am asked for the password for each mailbox every time. I've tried all the suggestions/instructions in Mail help but my save password check is always ignored. Any suggestions s to how i can get MAIL to behave as it's supposed to?

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entries from the keychain and letting Mail create them again the next time it asks for them.
    If the problem persists, try this:
    1. In Keychain Access > Preferences > General, click Reset My Keychain and proceed as requested. A new (empty) login keychain should be created and the old one renamed and removed from the keychain list, but not deleted.
    2. You can add the old (renamed) keychain (stored in ~/Library/Keychains/) back to the keychain list by clicking the [+] button in Edit > Keychain List.
    3. You can move/copy password entries from the old keychain to the new one if wish.

  • How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

    I have recently got an iPhone 5.  I also use Mail on my iMac computer.  How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same?  (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too?  I need identical email lists on both.  Thank you, in anticipation!

    If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work.  POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server.  It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device).  The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
    Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service.  IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device.  Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
    Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP.  If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

    I'm converting from a PC to  iMac. On the PC I have many Inbox folders with PR info for distribution. How do I get these folders from the PC to the iMac? I've used the Windows e mail Inbox folders for an easy access filing cabinet for years, as this all goes out on e mail. Thanks for assisting me!

    I think the easiest way would be to use Migration Assistant to get all that over...

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • How Do I Get iTunes Back On My Macbook?

    I was downloading something from Acquisition this morning and my iTunes went haywire. Next thing I know my entire iTunes library was damaged and iTunes would not respond. After a number of tries, I dragged iTunes into the trash and figured I'd download a new one.
    However, when I downloaded it from Apple I got a message that verification failed and then when I double-clicked the iTunes 6.0.5.dmg on my desktop I got the following message -- "the following disk images failed to mount (reason codec overrun)".
    Help...Any ideas what happened and any idea how I can get back to normal?
    MacBook 1.1   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Okay... but then there's nothing there? It just says "There are no purchased movies to be downloaded" (roughly translated from Danish)...
