How do I transfer emails from a non-active superseded inbox to local files.

I have changed servers and cancelled my old server (email service). I want to transfer all my old emails from my old inbox into local folders so I can delete the old account. I have a new account and a new inbox which is working fine. When I try to transfer emails from the old inbox, the software tries to logon to the old server - which no longer works - and won't let me transfer the emails. I can see and read the emails - so they are on my local computer. I don't want to lose all the old emails. I no longer have access to my old server.

Imap emails are kept on the server.
If you synchronized folders for offline use, then it would create an mbox file and keep a copy on your computer. When you connect with server, it updates this file so that the server and your copy are the same.
As the server is no longer accesible, they will have removed all emails, so you do not want to connect to that server as it would wipe all your emails to match the server. So it is good that you cannot connect. It is also fortunate that it did not make a last connection to an empty server. For future reference it would be better to move IMAP mail account emails prior to stopping the account.
It sounds like you synchronized emails, which explains why you can still see emails.
Two options that I can think of:
Go into 'offline mode' and then try to move the emails into Local Folders.
Another option.
Download the addon 'ImportExportTools', then in offline mode, use it to move the emails.

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.

How do I transfer email from Panther to TIger?

It seems this is a tricky one:
I have a new iMac running TIger, and I want to transfer my emails from my Powerbook running Panther (10.3.9)
I have tried to manually copy all the appropriate folders:
the Mail folder in the User/Me folder, in the User/Me/Library/ folder, and the User/Me/Library/Caches/...
This did import the folders, but they were empty- no emails, except for the new emails that were in the Inbox.
I can see the .mbox files, but Mail 2.0.5 doesnt seem to see them... Is there an Import option?

Replace ~(yourhome)/library/mail with the same folder from your PB.
Replace ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist with the same file from your PB. This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
When you launch Mail for the first time, decline any prompt to import.

How can I enable links from an internet/intranet site to a local file in Firefox 4?

I'm trying to allow links from an intranet page to a local file (e.g. "file://///server/share/file.jpg"). I found several articles and forum posts about doing this in older versions of Firefox (such as setting security.checkloaduri to false), but nothing seems to work for Firefox 4. Is there a new config option that I need to set to get this to work? Thanks.

darren199,
can you tell what you did to get that issue resolved ?
I am having the same problem :
Security Error: Content at http://intranet/group/maeva/documents may not load or link to file://///192.168.15.75/Downloads/rich.rtf.
I created a user.js as suggested in the website (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work) :
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://intranet");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
and the file is in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hen5yfyq.default
After restarting Firefox, I am still stuck with the same error.
btw, the same links work in IE.
Same results with file://server/share/file and file://localhost//server/share/file. I tried several URLs of this kind, but FF still stops with the same error message

How can I transfer email from RCN to Verizon?

Hello,
I am a brand new Verizon customer. I need to transfer all my mail from Inbox and subfolders from old RCN account to new Verizon account.
Is there an easy way to do this? All email clients only see Inbox because of POP architecture, no email client seems to see subfolders.
When I first logged onto Verizon, a webpage appeared that allowed me to enter my old email information to start a transfer, but I cannot find that program / webpage anymore.
Thank you.

Transfer emails from Outlook on PC to Mac with OS10.4.7?

Can anyone help me with this? I actually have 2 problems here (I'm helping a friend move to Mac from PC).
1. How can I transfer emails from Outlook on a PC (with Windows XP) to a Mac Mini Intel Core Duo running OSX 10.4.7? There are a LOT of mails - one mailbox has over 4,000 emails - but I didn't think that would make a difference. All are POP accounts.
2. I have made one attempt whcih took hours to achioeve then on the last mailbox import Mail, showing in the Mail sidebar all the new mailboxes I'd created with their mails in them, suddenly lost the lot! I can't find any of the mails I've imported anywhere in the computer now, not even in Home> Library> Mail> Mailboxes. Where could they have gone? Renamed? Moved of their own accord? Deleted without asking? Made invisible?
Does Apple Mail have a limit to the number of mailboxes it can handle? Or the number of emails?
Many thanks for any help on this.

Microsoft does not make this process an easy one even when trying to switch from Outlook to another non-Microsoft Windows email client.
I'm not sure how the first import process worked in the first place since the Mail.app import mailbox feature is not compatible with Microsoft's proprietary/closed Outlook message/mailbox storage process.
There is a program called O2M (formally called Outlook2Mac) which can be downloaded and purchased for $10 at this link.

How to transfer emails from Mail onto iphone?

just got my iphone and having fun using it so far.
i am trying to get work out how Mail works on the iphone in terms of how it syncs with Mail on my imac.
i really want to load some old emails from Mail (on my imac) onto the iphone. i tried dragging them from Mail onto the iphone icon in itunes but it won't let me do that.
for example i deleted some emails on the iphone by mistake, yet they are still in my inbox on the imac and wish to transfer them back onto the iphone so i can read thme on the move.
is there a way to do so?

Email account mailboxes and messages are not included in the iTunes sync process and you cannot drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa.
The iPhone's Mail app is no different in this regard from using an email client on your computer.
If you want email account mailboxes and messages to be kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account, not a POP account. Either way there is no option to drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa just as it isn't possible to do the same between two email clients on your computer.

How do I transfer songs from my iPod to iTunes?

Okay. At this point I am SO frustrated with Apple. I just hate the company so much right now. Such a simple simple question. How do I transfer songs from my iPod Nano (1st Gen) to iTunes. There is nothing about it in any manual. Apple has no way for you to contact them via email. And it appears the only way to get any answers is to sign up for this ridulous apple account and then sign up again for a posting id or whatever. Anyways. I would simply like to know, how do I transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes. Thank you.

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
What's so hard about asking for help here? It's one if the best support forums on the net.
