I cannot find emails from a second account in mail, after migrating by USB stick

I wanted to migrate my mails from Apple mail from an old iMac (OS X 10.3.9) to a newer MacMini (OS X 10.6.8).
The migration assistent did not work, so I used an USB stick to drag the 'mail' file from te library and the 'com.apple.mail.plist file from the preferences file, and dropped both in my MacMini Library - and preferences folder.
But now I only have the head-account mails, less than 1 perecent of what I needed from the second account.
The copies 'mail'file is 1.02 GB, so they must be somewhere...
I see 852 messages in the 'sent.imapm.box' but as grey squares, woth the yellow text 'exec' left obove in it.
Clicking on it gives only text like: Mac mini from (name)..and a lot of 'Library'in it.
Help! how can I get it visible again? There's pretty much important in it: my professional mails of the last 3 years...
I tried to recopy on the old iMac, but that did not work either, amd the 'mail' file from there is as good as emty, something went terribly wrong.

Found it, I think. At least all mails are visible now: When installing the 'new 'Mac, I changed the setting fromm SSL to non-SSL, but this changes also the port number. I did it while my provider told me that they did not use that security system. The new e-mail came in visible, I don't know why the eldest mails came in without any problem, but after thicking the SSL box, the e-mails came in visible.
I also imported not from Apple mail in 'importing mailboxes' but from 'm-box-structure' below in the list of mailboxes to import.
Only problem is that all outging mails are no longer sorted by receiver, but by sender: all from me of course.

  • I have two email accounts that are set up on the same iPad.  I cannot seem to see, read or send email from the second account

    I just set up a second email account on the same iPad but cannot seem to see, read or send email from the second account. 

    I'm using Windows 8 (not 8.1) and whatever the latest Thunderbird version is. They're both IMAP accounts. I was using Windows Live, but I couldn't get that to work, so I switched to TB. It works JUST fine for the one account, but not the other! They're identical except for the "handle". Both off my local ISP, set them up at the same time.

  • Deleting emails from a yahoo account through Mail

    I am new to the Apple and I am able to get my emails from my yahoo account, but I believe that there is a way to delete the messages from my yahoo account through MAIL. Can I set Mail up automatically to delete these messages from my Yahoo account? Am I correct and if so, how is this done?
    Otherwise, it does not seem very useful to access my yahoo account through Mail because I will have to go back to my yahoo account and clean through them anyway.
    Thanks

    Presumably you have a paid-for Yahoo account which permits POP* access (the free account doesn't). If you have this set up in Mail, go to Mail Preferences>Accounts>the Yahoo account: click 'Advanced' and tick 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message' (though actually this is the default so it ought already to be ticked): set the pop-up menu below this to 'Right away'.

  • Cannot send emails from my corporate account with Smartphone Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro)

    Hi All, 
    I bought a Smartphone Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro).
    I have configured my hotmail account and everything is working perfectly.
    But for my corporate email account (with IMAP Settings), incoming emails are ok but when I try to send emails, I get the message "email failed to send".
    For information, I have used the same settings on my Android tablet and everyting is fine from this side.
    Does someone has the same issue?
    Thanks.

    How to sync contacts and calendar with CloudMagic?
    ....Security must be blocking CloudMagic from accessing contacts&calendar.You're using contacts from the Gmail account I suppose.
    Go to the Security app>Privacy Guard and set CloudMagic as  ''Trusted'' or grant CloudMagic access to Personal information.
    Then go to Settings>scroll down to Accounts and resync the Google and CloudMagic accounts.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Cannot send emails from my yahoo account.,but can from internet explorer.Why?

    Hi, I can receive emails on my yahoo account;read them and so on,but cannot reply to them.A message comes which states that they are trying to re-load the original mail ,but fail to.I went into the yahoo help page and was told if it worked on a different browser the fault lay with firefox (my default browser).It worked on Internet explorer ,which I hardly ever use.The problem first occurred yesterday ,no idea why.

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    ibosie /V.K. -
    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -

  • How do you send an email from a sub account with mail app.

    We have about four sub-accounts with .mac all tied in with our sign in name. Is it possible to compose an email from the other email addresses with the iphone.

    you have to set it up with Mail on the home computer. I forget how many aliases you are allowed to have.
    To set up an alias:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Select your MobileMe email account and click Account Information.
    Click Edit Email Aliases, and sign in to MobileMe to create email aliases.

  • Not Receiving Emails from my Gmail Account in Mail

    I am not receiving my e-mails from my Gmail account. I have not received any since 31 Dec 2010. I have gone thru the Gmail web site to look at my mail & I have received several since 31 Dec. I've used the Connectivity Doctor & all three go green, but I'm still not getting my Gmail. I heard today about some issue with the iPhone & alarms - could this be connected with that? What's the problem?

    If you unable to do it from your phone then do it using the web portal
    navigate to https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=sprint
    Create new account using your device pin and imei number.
    login to the account and move your mails to the new device.
    Thast all
    But remember that if you unable to browse from phone using wirless network not wifi then it wll not work
    I think it will solve your problem
    Take care

  • I cannot send email from iPhone -- my account is with aol

    I tried to send an email to myself and I got a message that said "Cannot Send Mail the sender address (my address) was rejected by the server". It says that no matter who I send mail to.
    I am not very technically oriented -- so if someone answers me I hope they will give it to me in simple terms
    I am receiving email -- although some of it says "not downloaded from server" and some of it says "no message content". Most of the email I receive comes through ok
    I have not yet figured how to make the Wi-fy come on so have just been using Edge. I have had the phone for 5 days.
    I can live without wi-fy -- but I really would like to be able to send an email. I have a new Mac (my 5th) Hope someone can help.

    After I posted my message I found a discussion that said to get my wi-fy to work all I had to do was to:
    go to settings
    go to general
    go to reset
    reset network settings
    and
    for good measure I also
    reset all settings
    I did this and now my wi-fy works like a charm -- and the emails that I sent went through, even though it said they didn't -- but now I am not receiving any emails -- the little thing just goes around and around like it is searching for emails -- it has been doing that now for a while. I turned off the wi-fy and let it go to edge and itstill can't pick up any emails -- It has transferred no email to my iphone since I reset! I love my iPhone -- but I would sure like to get everything to work at once.
    Thank you for your post and help.

  • Cannot send email from bigpond account when using overseas telco network

    I am sure this question has been asked and answered before but I cannot find a definitive answer on this forum I am on the Telstra network locally but when I travel to Malaysia I use a local SIM card with data, as the rates are much cheaper than anything Telstra can matchI find I can receive emails on my bigpond email account but cannot send. Can someone from Telstra publish something in this forum or on the general Telstra help pages on what settings to use exactly so that you can send and receive emails from your bigpond account while using another network overseas. I have tried changing the outgoing mail server account to the local network provider's but I am still unable to send Thanks

    Hi Mazzi,
    When travelling overseas you can access your BigPond mailbox through an email program, or via the BigPond Webmailhttp://messaging.bigpond.com/inbox.do or http://webmail.bigpond.com/webedge/do/oldlogin. If you choose to use an email program, some settings will need to be adjusted, as mentioned below.
    While there are no 'perfect' settings which will work every time and from every country, it may as simple as adjusting the Authentication on the outgoing mail server.
    If you are accessing the internet via another Internet Service Provider (ISP), but want to send email through our outgoing mail server using your BigPond email address, then you must activate SMTP authentication. For the purposes of this, think of an 'SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server' as the outbound mail server.
    Make sure that you have adjusted the outgoing port settings as listed below, or configure your mail client so that it uses the service provider's SMTP server, with SMTP Authentication disabled. If you are uncertain on what this is, you can usually search for this online, or alternatively contact the service provider that is providing your internet access.
    If you are uncertain which mail platform you are on, you can confirm this by logging in here.
    The complete list of email settings (including IMAP for Outlook.com accounts) can be found here.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.
