How to Migrate Mail from One Mac Computer (MBP) to another Mac Computer (MBA)

I just bought a Mac Book Air (OS X Mavericks, Mac Mail) after a couple of years using a Mac Book Pro (OS X Mavericks, Mac Mail) and need to migrate my mail from MBP to MBA. Is there any steps to follow

MVP - if you still need the advice, or if any others come across this thread hoping it will help.
The simplest way is now that you have your mail files copied from the old Mac (as per:
Grant Lenahan
Simply move over your users/you/library/mail folder ( it has all the mail files).
Now launch Mail on the new Mac and go to File > Import Mailboxes
Select the mail boxes you want to import and Bob's your mother's brother!
Works a treat!

    I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.  
    I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
    SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
    [email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
    [email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
    [email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
    Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
    Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
    Tools console.
    Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
    I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario.  With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
    strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc.  Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

    How do i move from one I tunes store to another country if I have credit remaining

    You can't whilst you have a balance. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask them if they can remove the balance so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How to migrate mail from cabinets in GW 8.x to Gmail

    Hi,
    I've got a Groupwise 8.x email account and my only access is from a web browser. This account is being deactivated, and so I want to migrate all my email to my Gmail account. Through the settings of my Gmail account, I was able to IMPORT email from the Inbox of my Groupwise account. But, that step did not export any mail contained in my cabinets.
    I found some help online that showed how to EXPORT mail from the cabinet folders, but you have to have the actual Email client to do this, and I only have access from my browser. I can export mail items one at a time, but since I have many email items, I figured that there has to be a better way.
    Can anyone offer me some sugggestions and/or links to help?
    Thank you in advance.

    Well it does require a little bit of configuration. "Little" things like
    pointing it to the GroupWise server, which depending on the size of the
    system may well be the same host name as used for webaccess, and the
    default post office port is 1677. What tripped you up in connecting?
    > So, I think your alternative of using a Thunderbird

    Well you do have an account that you are trying to get mail out of, that
    is the account you would be using, selecting the IMAP option and
    pointing it to the GroupWise server.
    And you have an account you are trying to get your mail into, your GMail
    account, that you'd also have to connect to via IMAP.
    > Then the instructions for extracting the Novel email from the

    Select all messages from a cabinet folder, Drag and drop them into
    GMAIL. Rinse and repeat per folder.

  • How to migrate site from one account to another

    I want to migrate site from one account subscription to another account subscription. Both account owners are different.

    I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
    Should you have any movies, though, these cannot  be transferred.

  • How to bring files from time machine (ext drive) to another mac?

    Getting another Mac and need to install specific files from a Time Machine Backup of another Mac.
    Has anyone done this without Time Machine doing a full restore on the new Mac? I'd like to bring over items such as: preferences, Mail files, Safari bookmarks, pictures, etc.
    Thanks.

    I am not adverse to using migration assistant.
    With your suggestion, among others I shall. However, I think it is better to load applications from my DVD's into the new Mac, then open and use the migration assistant. Don't you agree?
    Otherwise, I think, the migration assistant on initial startup of the new Mac will migrate files that do not have apps already installed. Maybe that does not matte?? Does it will migrate over apps first? All shall come from my TM backup which I am concerned were from a Power PC G5, to now to run on an Intel based Mac, and I thought it best to load apps without any touch from the PPC.
    Please, tell me if I do not need to install apps first and then run migration assistant. Thanks to all...

  • Migrate Mail from one account to another

    Hi People,
    I was wondering how I can migrate all my mail data from one user to another.
    I want to consolidate two users into one (the user to which i want to migrate to, does not have mail set up) then delete the old user account.
    Is there a process for this? Or is it a case of just copying the mail data folder between users?
    Thanks.

    quit mail on both accounts and copy the file /users/username1/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the entire folder /users/username1/library/mail to the corresponding locations for user2. start Mail on user2 and it will look like it did on user1.

  • How to Migrate WSDLs from one environment to other

    Hi All,
    can somebody please tell me how can WSDLs from one environment be migrated to other environments.
    I could not see any option in CMU.
    Do i need to create them Manually in every environment.
    many thanks,
    sapan

    As I recall, you can manually move the file data/soap/custom/wsdl_custom.hda from the instance folder on one system to the other. Then, manually choose the option to publish the WSDLs from the WSDL generator tool in admin interface. Not automatic in any way (well, the publishing is kind of automatic) but certainly better than manually re-entering the WSDL definition.
    Note that this will not do if you need to merge WSDLs from the first system to the second system. By moving the HDA file you will be replacing all custom WSDL definitions on the second system with those from the first.

  • How to migrate targets from one oem to another oem

    Hi ,
    we have two gridcontrols as follows
    https://oemgrid1:7799/em/console
    https://oemcnt:7799/em/console
    we have to move the 10 targets from one OEM ( https://oemgrid1:7799/em/console) to another OEM ( https://oemcnt:7799/em/console ) inclusing data ...
    how to migrate , any idea ?

    A) Assuming that both the EM are of same version, then you cannt migrate data and targets from one em to another.
    B) Assuming that both the EM are of different versions like EM1 10.2.0.5 and EM2 12.1.0.2 then also you cannt migrate data and targets from one em to another. In this case you still have the option to undergo the EM Upgrade process which will automate the historical data and target migration. Read about EM upgrade : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/upgrade.121/e22625/toc.htm

    You can't transfer games from one account to another.
    What you can do is to log in from your ipod touch on his gamecenter account and download the app and play like this.

  • Problem migrating account from one active directory domain to another. Using NetBIOS

    Hello,
    I'm migrating a Lion machine from one domain to another. When I try to join it to abc.example.com it joines it to 123.example.com in the list of domains. 123.example.com is the NetBIOS name of abc.example.com. This configuration does not work.
    What is even more strange, is if I go into the Open Directory Utility > Active Directory to set the create mobile account settings, once I apply the settings (or even if I don't apply the settings) when I get back to the list of domains, it show BOTH abc.example.com and 123.example.com as domains I am joined to. If I remove 123.example.com it removes abc.example.com.
    I've only seen this problem one other time and this was with a snow leopard machine that was not bound to AD. I upgraded it to Lion and tried to bind it, and had the exact same thing occur.
    I'm certain there is a "stuck" setting somewhere that is causing this. I have had successful snow leopard > lion upgrades work, and many lion machines joined to AD so this does work normally. Just not sure whats wrong or really where to look.
    The OS is fully patched and updated to the current version.
    Any thoughts?

    Case 1:
    Here you can written pre-update event handler which will check whether minor and major org code changed or not.
    If changed then first starts de-provisioning and then start provisioning.
    If not changed then do nothing.
    This approach will not transfer accounts from one domain to another but it will create fresh accounts and remove accounts from old domain.
    Case2:
    If you want to transfer accounts from one domain to another in that on pre-update you have to change OU of user on process which automatically move to another domain.
    but not sure about exchange it is possible to move to another domain.
    hopping that all domains under same forest otherwise same Connector Sever will not work.
