How to copy my mail-rules to my other MAC

HI,
I have a MAcAir and Macbook Pro. On my MacAir I created a bunch of rules to keep spam out of my mailbox (not an iCloud mail) and would like to copy these rules to my other MAC.
Can anyone tell me how to do this without re-typing everything?
Thanks in advance and a happy new year!,
Frans

It looks like Mail rules are kept in this file
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
Here's a hypothesis: You could try making a copy of this file from the first mac and inserting it in the same location on the other mac. You will need to restart Mail on the second mac after doing so.
Be sure you don't delete the file that's already there in the second mac - just move it out to your desktop as I'm not sure that this will work. There may well be machine or address specific data in the file, but give it a try and let us know if it works out.
If it doesn't, then just delete the file you copied over from the second mac and put back the one you moved to your desktop.

  • How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?

    Setting up my new MacBook Pro. How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?
    Is there a file I can copy & paste?

    Thanks Barry & all,
    Is it enough to just copy the rule-related files ??
    i.e.
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/RulesActiveState.plist
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/UnsyncedRules.plist
    What you suggest copies the local mailbox content + all the settings ...
    while what I need is much less... and I'd like to be able to sync rules also in the future
    by copying something light and simple ... not the entire Library/Mail folder
    Many thanks,
    Stefania

    how to copy a external hard drive to  other or  copy songs from one to  another

    Don't understand exactly what you want to do. Can you restate your question?
    You posted in the OS 10.3 forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
    Also you show iOS 6.1.4 on your profile. iOS 6.1.4 only runs on a iPhone, not a MacBook Pro.

    Hi,
    I think the needed techniques are already described in the documentation, e.g. in
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/e641e4c61256dee10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm

    The main techiques used in the above example to bind the filter of the planning function to selected (marked) objects in the analysis item or to drop down boxes (or both). These techniques are used in the above examples.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help how to copy the copa derivation rules with maintain rule value from production to quality.

    Hello,
    Export and import of copa derivation rule is not possible.
    usually Transports are moved from quality to production as per best policy.
    Production to quality happens at the time of quality refresh.

  • How can I convert Mail rules into smart mailboxes

    I recently posted a report about faults in mail rules that move messages to mailboxes automatically. In light of this, I thought about converting my rules into smart mailboxes. I started, but looked at the number of rules that I have and thought 'there must be an easier way!'
    What I'm after is a script, or hints as to how to write a script, that will iterate over all my mailbox rules and add new smart mailboxes. I expect that the Mail program might provide some programatic interface for this, but don't know where to start looking.
    Hoping that someone can help me.
    Regards, Andy

    Well, if coding help is what you want then this isn't the place to ask. The Applescript and Unix forums are here. These are better places to ask about programming.
    If you do a Google search on "applescript" you should find the two or three major sites for finding prepared Applescripts or Automator actions, although I don't recall ever seeing one for your intended use. But it can't hurt to look. You'll also find the link to the Applescript language documentation site, but you will also need to examine Mail's provided Applescript programming facilities.
    Bash programming manuals abound although nothing necessarily specific to the Mac. OS X implements a reasonably standard Unix implementation of the various supported shell environments. Google searching for "bash tutorial" or programming guides will yield lots of resources.

  • How to copy imported CD album tunes to another Mac?

    I have two Macs.
    I imported songs from the CDs I own using iTune on one Mac.
    What would be the proper way to copy the imported tunes to the second Mac? If I just copy the album folder under the iTunes Music folder from the first Mac to the second, would iTunes on the second Mac recognize the album name and the tune names?

    Do you have a library on both machines?
    IF not, then simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from one machine to the other.
    If yes, then you'll have to merge the two libraries, and for that you'll need iPhoto Library Manager, a shareware. It's the only way of doing a merge. You can download it from here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
    You may need to change your Slideshow to an album first, then back to a Slideshow at the other machine. But give it a try.

  • I bought a macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Can I install a copy of mountain lion on my other mac for free?

    I bought a Macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Can I install Mountain Lion on my other mac for free? How do I do that? Thanks!

    On the bright side, it's only $20.
    And I would certainly like to have the ownership (and even a copy of the installer on my archive drive), "just in case."
    Here are some questions -- which I cannot test because it's not my situation:
    Has anyone acquired a pre-owned Mac with Mountain Lion installed but which shipped with an earlier OS version? For those in that circumstance:
    Have you been able to apply Mountain Lion update(s)?
    How about reinstall ML with Recovery HD?
    After either updating or reinstalling, does ML appear in Purchases in App Store?
    Just curious.

  • How can I transfer my photos/events to other Mac Devices?

    I seem to be stuck here.....I have two iMac's and an Macbook Pro (all 2009 or newer) and on my primary desktop I have all of my photos organized into events and everything on iPhoto.
    Now, I want to transfer all of those photos/events onto my other Mac computers.  I have an external hard drive but when I try to copy the photos to the hard drive, it does that but it can't copy them in the events they are in.  It just copies every photo I have to one big folder, complete mess.
    Is there an easy way to do this?  I simply want to take all the pictures in my iPhoto on the computer downstairs and transfer them to my other iMac and Macbook Pro while keeping them organized in the "events" and "faces" and "places" folders as they are on iPhoto on the primary.
    Thank You!

    Kinda new to this so pardon me but how do I drag the iPhoto Library itself?  Where is that located? 
    Actually....I think I may have it.
    That iPhoto Library icon, just drag that to the external and then transfer it from the External to the other devices "Pictures" folder??  Then I should be able to just start iPhoto from the toolbar and it will all be there?

  • Script for copying files to drop boxes of other Macs

    I don't know much about scripts as yet, but for daily backup purposes
    I would like to copy all new or modified files from various folders
    to the drop boxes of two other Macs (like the old DOS command XCopy)
    and then reset the "modified attributes" (is there something like that at all?)
    of these files.
    A script could do this without the need to always find and select these files
    and to always confirm the messages "You can put items into “Drop Box”,
    but you won’t be able to see them. Do you want to continue?".
    Thanks!

    Here is a short skeleton which doesn't treat subfolders.
    May you check if it do what you want ?

  • How can I make mail rules work?

    I'm using Mail Version 7.0 (1822). When I create a rule to move an article from the inbox into a mailbox, it doesn't work.
    I was hoping to create a series of nested mailboxes sorted by topics, (shopping, sports, hobbies, etc), but even the simplest of single level maillboxes doesn't work.
    The commands are fairly straightforward and easy to understand: If a heading contains the word ________, move the item to the mailbox named ____.
    When I apply the rule, nothing happens. Help would be appreciated.

    The flagging rule worked.  Then.... I tried once again to move the messages to the mailbox. This time, I noticed that the messages were, in fact, copied to the mailbox, but were not deleted from the inbox. Do I also have to specify that the messages be deleted from the inbox? The move command would involve both copy and delete in one action.

  • How can I keep Mail in sync on two Macs?

    One of the beauties of .mac seems to be that you can work on your email from various computers.
    Both my wife and I each have a Mac laptop, which we sometimes want to use interchangeably (webcam, size, portability reasons). We each have an individual @mac.com email address but would like to have both email accounts combined and visible on each computer. What sync settings would I need to choose to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    POP accounts can be set up to leave mail on the server. Thus this mail could be accessed from several different computers.
    I used Eudora a while ago, and set up 2 accounts, one left email on the server, and one did not. I would normally check mail from the one that left it on the server (accounts like this on several macs). When I was ready to download the mail, then I would check it from the other account that existed on only one of the macs.
    So in Mail, you could set up for POP and leave mail on the server. Then when ready to download (and not be able to see mail from various macs) you could switch to another user account, where Mail would be set up to not leave mail on the server.
    However, iMap makes this whole process easier.
    Normally, iMap mail can stay on the server forever. But I do like to get my mail and store it on my Mac after an arbitrary period of time. So I have set up a smart rule in Mail.
    It is GET MAIL:
    if Date received is less than 10 days old
    perform the following actions: stop evaluating rules
    So every day the mail is received, and of course it is less than 10 days old, so the rules stop evaluating.
    When I am ready to download the messages I select all in the mailbox, and use command-option-L to apply the rules. Any messages less than 10 days old stay on the server, Older messages then follow the other rules which are listted after GET MAIL. Usually these just filter mail into specific dumb mailboxes on my Mac. And/Or they could color the mail, or whatever else I choose to do with the mail.
