How to move email folders from iMac to MacBook

I have an iMac which I use almost all the time. When I travel I use my MacBook. Both have the latest operating system etc. By connecting the two with a cable I have no trouble moving files from my iMac to my MacBook. However, I do not have a clue how to move my email file folders in which I put my incoming emails. I believe the Library is hidden. So how do I get to the Library and what files do I need to move to move my folders, I created, one sees in the left margin of the email window?

Unfortunately this did not do the job. I have clicked on all the items in the iCloud preferences and nothing happens.When I click on Sign Out I get the question "Do you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contracts on this Mac?--- I don't know-- What does it matter? So I keep the contract on this Mac. Then I am asked "If you stop using iCloud for Calendars, calendars stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac." What is this all about? What should I do?

Move email folders from one account to another . Both on Thunderbird

We have our email email on Thunderbird client at one domain name. We are switching the domain name (or rather shortening it) . How do I move the 500+ email folders to new domain without manual copy and paste?

Some possible options in no particular order:
(1) Copy the folders to a SUB Thumb Drive.
(2) Use Dropbox
(3) If your Macs are compatible with AirDrop see list:
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
Activate AirDrop on both Macs to Move/Copy your Mail Folders.

How to transfer email folders from old Mac to new Mac, How to transfer email folders from old Mac to new Mac

How do I transfer email folders with all messages from a i-Mac G5 (OSX 10.4.11) to a new iMac with OSX 10.6.7?

Martin,
I would recommend starting over this time using Setup Assistant. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

How to move email contacts from a folder to my email account?

please respond to: [email protected]

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.

How do i transfer program from iMac to macbook with no disk drive

Hi I have a imac with cs5. I now have a macbook pro with no disk drive. How do i download the older cs5 onto my new macbook pro? Thanks

You are allowed to have up to two activated installations of each version license you own, so unless you have already installed it to another system, you should be fine. If not, phone customer support. I've never heard of them refusing to reset a person's activations.

How do I transfer pages from imac to macbook?

I have a new to me MacBook and wish to have just pages to create documents. I have already purchased Pages for my iMac.
Any suggestions?

The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.6 on eBay fairly cheap. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p4684.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=iwork+%270 9&_sacat=0&_from=R40

How to move my data from my old macbook to my new macbok pro

wich is the better and faster way??? I guess it is with a firewire but I´mnot sure

Well what are you guessing firewire is faster then?
If you are comparing to either USB or Ethernet then you are correct.
You didn't tell us much about your old Mac but if it is capable of booting into to Target Disk Mode then that would be the best way to do the migration. When you start the new MBP and it asks you if you wish to get you data from another source answer yes and point it at the disk in your old MacBook. That will restore everything from the old Mac to the new MBP.

How to share USB drives from iMac to Macbook?

I have an iMac that has 2x500GB external USB 2.0 drives connected. I want to be able to access these drives via my Macbook as I have my entire Photo collections as well as iTunes on them.
I have turned on file sharing on both systems, I am able to connect form my Macbook to the iMac using:
afp://imac.local
However it will only display the "Macintosh HD" and "<Username>" mounts, that's all.
I am also authenticating using my iMac administrator account.
If anyone can help, please fill me in. I am also assuming this can be done, I mean its simply 2 USB drives being shared, shouldn't be too dificult.
Thanks a lot

If all you need to do is share your iPhotos and iTunes libraries, then there is an easier way. Open each apps preferences, click on the Sharing icon in the respective toolbars, check the box to share the library with all local machines on your network.
Otherwise, what you've done appears to be working. You say the shared machine is mounting. You should then be able to access the mounted disk volume. When you log in to the 'server' computer you must use a username and password of an existing account on the 'server' machine otherwise you will be logged in as 'guest' and have limited access.

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?
I would like to access my mail tool folders while I am traveling overseas with my ipad.
Alternately, is it possible to get my mail tool folders onto my ipad?
imac: Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
mail tool: Version 5.3

Your iCloud cannot access other accounts. You can set up the Mail app on your iPad to access other accounts just the same as on your Mac - the only issue might be with the ISP who provides your internet connection, as some services require you to be actually connected to them to send, and possibly even to receive though that would be more unusal.
If any of your other accounts provide webmail you could use that.
Otherwise you could set up forwarding on the other accounts so that messages are sent on to your iCloud account (I should set it to leave a copy on the original server) - however you cannot send using anything other than your iCloud email address as the 'From' address using iCloud outgoing server.
As to existing messages, if the account is IMAP then the messages can be accessed from any device that signs into the account; if the account is POP then received messages live on your Mac. You can copy them up to iCloud in the Mail application on your Mac by creating a new folder or folders on iCloud and then dragging the messages to these folders - hold the option key down to retain the messages on your Mac and duplicate them to iCloud. Move messages, not folders, and don't try to move a huge amount at a time. Remember that they will take up space on your iCloud account.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?

Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.
