How to Import Apple Mail Folders on Second User Account

I purchased a new MBP after the old one failed. At the Apple Store I set up a User ID for the new MBP. I then used the Migration utility later on to bring in all my data from my late MBP. This included all my Mail folders. Now I want to get a selection of those Mail Folders to the New User ID. I have tried exporting a folder to a USB flash drive, told Apple Mail to import it in the new ID but without success. Is there another way to get the selected mail folders over to the new ID? Currently I have way too much mail on the old migrated ID. I have been running DupeZap to try and reduce the duplicate messages but that's another story. I just want to get the good folders (no duplicates) over to the new User ID. I seem to recall that back with Tiger you could use a drop box or public folder to pull files/data from one user ID to another. Is this still possible or is there another option I can try?
Thanks for advice and guidance.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

How to Import Apple Mail 4.2 to Eudora 6.2.4

I have Eudora set up on my MacPro (OS X 10.6.2), and downloaded new mail to one of my e-mail accounts. That went rather smoothly.
Now, I need to import mail from Apple Mail. I keep getting an error, which won't allow me to import mail from Apple Mail. The message gives me the option to manually import my mail.
I've tried that several times, and it seems to import the mail, but I can't find the imported mail.
Is this a bug with Eudora that won't allow importing mail from Apple Mail?

Trying to move back to a prior version of Mac OS X can be a problem, it could be easier fixing your issues with Mountain Lion. What problems are you having?

I am trying to set up e-mail on a second user account but mail preferences is grayed out. I have looked at some posts which indicate it could be corrupt file and say to deletee .plist but I cannot find that at all. Any suggestions?

I am trying to set up a Mail account for a second user. I have made the user account but when I try to set up Mail, it fails as if the password or e-mail is incorrect but I know it is correct. When I try to go to Mail preferences, it is grayed out. Any suggestions?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.

How to export Apple Mail local folders to Outlook 2011

I just got Microsoft Outlook 2011 and need to import the (many) emails I have in local Apple Mail folders. What's the right way? I can't seem to drag the folders to the desktop (the way I can in Entourage 2008), and when I "archive" a folder, it makes a file (within a folder) that Outlook doesn't recognize as a valid MBOX file for import. What's the right way?
thanks,
Mike

After reading that, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
I know; I don't like to depend on a Microsoft product but Entourage's way of keeping everything in a single Database file, which gets corrupted all the time (and corrupted worse when it is allowed to "Repair" it!) is making me nuts. I thought at least Outlook keeps everything separately. I don't like Mail (because I hate iCal and I like the way Entourage's calendar works together with its mail), and I don't know of an open-source client that handles Exchange server. I'm kind of stuck - maybe I'll stay with Entourage and let Mail keep my old Mail archives (I need to store everything for searching, and currently have about 20 Gigs of email). If there are any alternatives, I'd love to hear them.
thanks,

How to export Apple Mail Email Addresses..

I am going about an email-gathering process in order to analyze addresses I want to use for future marketing.
One resource of qualified leads is my 5 year old Gmail account which has all my correspondence 'banked' -
so I want to extract and put into a list form (spreadsheet, csv) - all of the sent-to and received-from email
addresses that i have accumulated. Since Gmail doesn't natively export email addresses as a list, I must
go through the process of either a POP or IMAP download to an email client. I decided to set up Apple Mail
with an IMAP configuration for the purpose of offloading all of my gmail into Apple Mail. That is currently in
progress - I am running the "sync" feature at the moment - figure it'll be a half-day or so to process through
it.
Then comes the question, which i forgot to consider - and I am not sure about this because i normally use Thunderbird...
is there a way to export all of the Emails from the Apple Mail folders once they've downloaded from Gmail - into a format
that can be 'read' by an email extraction app - i.e., .csv, or tab delimited, etc... I see stuff about "Address Book" being
exported, but nothing specifically referring to the email addresses themselves.
Hope this question makes sense and thanks for any advice or second opinion on whether there's a better way to do
what i'm trying to do.
Thanks
Mike

Hi, thanks for that info - I have this app called Email Extractor - it may read the .emlx files -haven't been able to find much documentation....been a year or two since i toyed with it andi won't know til the IMAP downloading to the email client is done before i can try it... will probably take half a day before this synch process completes as it has about 15,000 emails to process...
As for the data, I basically just need the email addresses. It would make life simpler if there were a converter that would just transform the .emlx to .csv in order for me to run the list through the Extractor parsing' app. I was kinda hoping i could export from Mail to .csv or something this app can readily read...
Thanks again,
Mike

HT2500 how to alphabetize mailboxes (mail folders) in left column of Mail application

Does anyone know how to how to alphabetize mailboxes (mail folders) in left column of Mail application? It should be easy, but I can't find a way.
Thanks.

Hi sanjampet, that didn't work for me. I disabled my five email accounts, which made the emails dissappear, all mail folders were still visible, I closed the program. I reopened the program, re-enabled the email accounts, and all the same folders were all still visible - not in alphabetical order, so frustrating. One would think apple would have a simple button that could be clicked to put mail box folders into order? Drag and drop is too difficult for me too due to the number of mailboxes. Any other thoughts?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed. There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

How to Forward Apple Mail

Can you tell me how to forward apple mail? I need a more powerful junk/spam screener that Yahoo.com provides....
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Not sure I understand correctly:
Apple Mail is a desktop email client; Yahoo is an online email service.
Is your problem that Apple Mail does not filter junk mail well enough? And you want to open your Apple Mail in Yahoo Mail?
Or are you currently getting your Yahoo mail forwarded to Apple Mail and opening it on Apple Mail?

How to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

how to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server. Usually spam filters have something similar.
If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail. And, well, that API is not documented. And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.
