How to import a mailbox from one user to another?

Hi,
This is my situation on a work computer.
User 1 has a mailbox with work emails on it.
User 1 has just left the company.
I have created a user 2 for the new employee.
I want to import the User 1 emails over to user 2 so that user 2 can carry on with user 1's work and still have all the emails user 1 sent and received.
When I use the import mail function of mail I cannot import another users mail.
How can I do this? Surely this isn't an unusual situation?
Can anyone help? We are on pop 3
Cheers

Assuming you can either login to the computer as user1, or as the admin on that computer, try copying the entire /Users/user1/Library/Mail folder to a USB flash drive, then login as user2, launch Mail and in Mail's menubar, go to File > Import Mailbox and follow the directions to navigate to the desired mail account data stored on the USB flash drive.

What DB version do you use?
I don't know if dbms_metadata is present on oracle 9i but I'm quite sure that to_char(CLOB) is supported only on 10g, so you should find onother way to get the clob.
You could also determine the extract ddl script with this script that runs on older versions as well:
select 'CREATE SEQUENCE "'||USER||'"."'||
     SEQUENCE_NAME||'" MINVALUE '||MIN_VALUE||' MAXVALUE '||
     MAX_VALUE||' INCREMENT BY '||INCREMENT_BY||' START WITH '||LAST_NUMBER||
     DECODE(CACHE_SIZE,0,' NOCYCLE ',' CACHE '||CACHE_SIZE)||
     DECODE(CYCLE_FLAG,'N',' NOCYCLE ',' CYCLE ')||
     DECODE(ORDER_FLAG,'N',' NOORDER ',' ORDER ')||';'
from user_sequences;What sql client did you use?
I don't get empty rows with sql navigator and sql plus.

How to move database objects from one user to another user

Could someone help how to move database objects from one user to another user
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for the reply.
Actually I wanted to know whether there is any command to change the owner ship of the table.
For ex table1 belongs to user1. can the owner of table1 to be changed to owner2.
directly using an oracle command. I knew that it can be done using import and export, since the table was 200 million thought the rename command would be faster instead of import and export.
Thanks Billy for letting me know that it is not possible using oracle query.

Move mailbox from one user to another?

Greets -
Running Mail on OS X Server 10.5.8, and I'm trying to move a folder from one user to another. I thought this would do it:
cp -pPR /var/spool/imap/user/user1/folder /var/spool/imap/user/user2
It does copy, of course, and appears to have the same ownership and permissions as the other folders, but it doesn't show up. Is there some other kind of blessing required, or probably a better way to copy it than that cp command? Forgive me essentially weak unix skills....
Many thanks,
z

you need to set the cyrus acl, using cyradm or easier is with SirAdmin
-or take the simple route-
setup your mail program with both imap accounts and drag the folder from one account to the other.

How to copy discoverer workbooks from one user to another user

I need to be able to copy all workbooks from one user and save them in a shareable user account. The request is being made by his manager (in preparation for the user's retirement) so I need to do it without the user's knowledge. The manager wants to ensure that all workbooks are copied. For example, can the DBA copy all workbooks of schema JOHNDOE to APPLEX. We are using Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0 and Discoverer 10.1.2.3 in the Windows environment.
Robert

Are these workbooks saved in the database or on a file server somewhere? If its the latter you just need to copy them to another location.
If they are saved to the database you can export them using the Admin tool but I have a feeling you will only be able to do this if you have access to them: aka they have been shared with you. So here's several ideas:
1. Grant JOHNDOE and APPLEX access to be an administrator then log on as JOHNDOE in the Admin tool and use File | Export | Selected Objects | Workbooks and export ALL workbooks owned by JOHNDOE. Then you log in as APPLEX and import the workbooks this time taking ownership. Now you can share them with whoever else needs them. You will need to make sure that APPLEX has access to the same business areas as JOHNDOE. When done you can revoke the admin rights of JOHNDOE.
2. If you don't know JOHNDOE's password you could export the entire EUL to a file. For example if you EUL is owned by a user called EUL_US then create another database user called EUL_US_TEMP and install an empty EUL as a Private EUL, not Public. Then you grant APPLEX permission to be an administrator of this new EUL. Next you log in as APPLEX in the new EUL and import the EUL you exported earlier, this time also taking ownership of all workbooks only if the original owner cannot be found.You'll find that APPLEX has access to ALL workbooks not just those originally owned by JOHNDOE so next you have to work out which ones were originally owned by JOHNDOE. You can do this in SQL by examining the file called EUL5_DOCUMENTS in the original EUL and look for all documents owned by JOHNDOE. Now that you know the names of the documents you log back into the new EUL as APPLEX and export only the workbooks you want to a separate export file. With that done you can log in as APPLEX into the original EUL and import that file this time always taking ownership. Finally you can drop the EUL_US_TEMP schema.
Hope this helps

Mountain Lion: Copying mailbox from one user to another user on the same mac

When I bought the mac I had only one email address. Since then I have accumulated 3 more addresses. I created another User on the same MAC to seperate the personal emails from the 3 new email addresses, that I use for business.
There are some mailboxes from the 1st account that has business information in them that I want to move to the 2nd User account (with the 3 e-mail addresses). I though that I could save them in the dropbox and then save them into the 2nd User accounts like I did with the documents and spreadsheets, but this does not work.
I really need to separate the Family Personal email information from the Busines Information and I do not want to just send lots and lots of emails to the accounts to get them there.
I am not using Cloud at the moment because it created some syncing issues. Because the 1st User Account and email account is synced with an iPad and iPhone that my wife uses with an Apple ID. The 2nd User (and 3 mail addresses) are synced with my iPhone and a separate Apple ID. We have separate ID's because she did not want my personal & business contacts seeping into the family email accounts
I know that this is long, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible, so that I can resolve this.
Thanks in Advance

I spent quite a few hours after this was posted trying to figure it out and I did.
Select Mailbox > Export Mailbox. This asks you a location to export the mailboxes to. It just uploads the exported mailboxes into Dropbox.
Then change the User that I want to import the mailboxes into. Select Import and select the location of where you placed the folder in Dropbox. This then imports the mailbox into a folder called Import. You then drag and drop the copied mailboxes from the Import folder to the folder in the structure you have. If you decide to delete the folders from the import folder list, do this. You can also delete the copied folders from Dropbox if you wish.
Took a while, but I got there and I'm happy now....

Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff, be sure Mail is quit on both computers, then...
On Mail these 2 folders...
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

How to import a page from one workspace to another workspace appication ?

In oracle apex 4.1 version :-
I am trying to import one page from a application which is present in one workspace to another application which is present in another workspace.
In which way could i import that export page to a workspace?
Edited by: 945115 on Jul 12, 2012 4:46 AM

there are 2 ways to do it.
if your confidant and the page is not exist in the imported application then then modify the script
look for the following like should be at the begging of the script change the workspace id with your imported workspace id
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,25719530510628410));
and change the application id
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
-- SET APPLICATION ID
wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,100);
second option is
export the full application form workspace 1 and import into WS2
in WS2 open the application where you want to copy the page. open any page and click on the Create drop down menu and select new page as copy then select Page in another application and follow the screens.

How can I transfer files from one user to another user?

I have a Macbook Air with 10.9.5.
I have two admin users. I want to transfer all the files from User A to User B's profile so that I can get rid of User A and just use User B from now on. So far I can access the files if I change sharing permissions but the files are not under the root User B's folder still.   Any ideas on how to do this? I also have greyed out folders when I created User B in the root directory.
Root folder /UserA/ includes all the usual folder links like desktop, documents, etc, including some created one for example "myoldphotos".   When i created UserB/ it has all the desktop, documents, etc folders (but with nothing in them since it's new) but also the myoldphotos folder, except it's greyed out and I can't do anything with it at all or open it or anything. it's just there?

Thank you, that worked to transfer files. After I move it into my normal home folder, can I delete it from the Shared folder?
Also if anyone has any ideas on the greyed out folders I would be thankful. For example I moved the 'myoldphotos' folder from users/UserA to users/Shared then from there to users/UserB and it worked. HOWEVER, the greyed out mysterious folder is still there and i can't do anything about it. It also affected my new copied folder, changing the name from myoldphotos to "myoldphotos 2" like as if there IS a folder there with the same name already.   I can't click on the greyed out folder to open it or anything.
