Import of accounts and mails

I have made a backup of the old Tiger system, but have made a clean install of Leopard.
I want to import my mailaccounts since I have about 5 of them and I can't remember all the passwords and servers.
Also I would like to import my emails to the respctive inboxe's and (hopefully not) into an "Import inbox "
Can anybody help?

I can't directly answer your question, sorry. I do want to contribute to this thread though. I am about ready to install Leopard. I plan to do an "erase and install" and do not plan to migrate my user account. Rather I want tabula rasa. What would like to do though is to have the ability to bring back all of my mail (from assorted accounts and folders) into a folder (or some other mechanism) called "From Tiger."
The plan moving forward would be to delete the messages I eventually no longer desire to keep and then just leave the old mail hanging around in that folder so that Spotlight can index it and I can find stuff as need be.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Rod

To ensure all invoices are accounted and mailed for

Business wants to ensure all the AR invoices accounted and mail to customers. Is there any standard report to see the number of invoices printed and mailed in SAP?

Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot.
In house only but printing done by non-sap software. Due to problem with the software some customers may not get invoices. They will send mail or call. We will reprint and send it back to them.
We want to automate this process in SAP or by atleast see how many are printed and mailed successfully in SAP. So that we will compare this figure with the actual printing output figure with non sap software. Is there any standard report available?.

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

I need to create a new imap mail account in Mail and the program automatically creates a pop one.
What should I do?
Thank you for your help.

Hello, on about the second step, it doesn't give you a choice of POP, IMAP, or Exchange? Or does it change it to POP if you choose IMAP anyway?

Problem with .mac account and mail 2.05 (os x 10.4.4)

hi!
i am not able to add a .mac account in mail 2.05. system is os x 10.4.4.
.mac settings in system preference work fine, on my cube with os 10.3.9 i can add the .mac account without problems.
in mail under 10.4.4 i can´t even select accounts besides IMAP, POP and EXCHANGE. if i delete mails plist and even the mail file and achieving a "virginal mail" i just can select these 3 accounts (POP,IMAP,EXCHANGE). strange because if i setup .mac settings in system preferences before setting up a POP mail account (i have 3 POP accounts besides .mac), the .mac account is automatically set up in mail. but even than i can´t set up manually (another) .mac account (can´t be selected in account pulldown menue) as well as soon as i delete it it can´t be resetup.
no way with new user, same procedure. i reinstalled mail from tiger-dvd as well as reinstalling 10.4.4 combo update and repair disc permissions. no way to get .mac to work the normal way.
has anyone any idea?
thanks so long,
peter

the empty folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level seemed to be the problem of not being able to activating the .Mac account in mail. after copying this folder onto harddisk again (i have a new "20 iMac at work with 10.4.4) the problem was solved. no idea how to get this folder again besides installing a blank 10.4.x install onto external firewire hdd or having a second system...
thanks so long.
i guess i made a mistake when migrating my old mail prefs from 10.3.x to 10.4.x blank install when moving the folders to 10.4.x maybe i have first choosen the ~/Library/Mail/ folder at root level and when recognizing that mail is not working with new user, i´m sure i might have deleted the whole mail prefs and mail folder on root level and copied the whole stuff again into USER/Library/Mail/. Therefore the folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level became empty. i purchased .Mac just a few days ago so i recognized this failure just now...

Gmail account and mail.app

Hi,
I have strange situation on my iphone. Mail received messages until last friday 19:38. Everything after that can not be viewed.
I have tried, removing account, and adding it again. - Nothing.
I have updated iphone to 4.3.3. - still the same
I have added another gmail account, and it work just fine.
If gmail work on my imac, why not on iphone 4? Why until that date, and for just that account?
I wrote also to google 10 minutes ago and waiting for someone to reply.
Thank's for help!

to those who may have this same problem, there are two different solutions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=546338
one is to make some changes to the gmail POP account settings on the iphone and computer, and the other is to set up gmail as POP on the iphone and IMAP on the computer. hope this is helpful for you!

Multiple accounts and Mail 3.5 (Leopard)

I've been trying to get Mail to get and send e-mail from multiple accounts using a single ISP (in this case, my Verizon DSL account). My older app, Eudora Pro, can easily do this (for both POP and IMAP), as it has a system called "Personalities," where you can setup a main personality (i.e., your primary ISP account), yet allow other personalities/accounts to use that ISP for the outgoing mail server. It seems that in Mail though, while getting incoming mail from multiple servers isn't the problem, sending mail from multiple accounts through one outgoing server (which requires what Eudora calls "relay SMTP authorization") is problematic. I've set up multiple accounts in Mail and can get incoming mail from them, but can't seem to send outgoing mail except from my main ISP account.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem - My kids each have their own email account within their own user profile, and while they can receive mail, they cannot send it. Sending from my (admin) account is fine, and their outbound accounts are set up identical to mine. I love having separate accounts because I can control how much time each of my kids get (6 of them!)and I get to supervise content on the web but this issue and itunes does not allow them to play back any DRM purchased itunes - acts like they are on a separate computer, not a separate user on the same machine - all itunes are in the shared folder...

IPod touch duplicating Email accounts and mail boxes

iPod touch 2nd generation running 4.2.1
I have 7 email accounts and 7 mailboxes in the mail program on my iMac. I have the iPod touch set to sync all of them. Somehow 5 of the 7 mail boxes and accounts are being duplicated on the iPod touch. I don't use the iPod much for email and want to eliminate all but 2 of the accounts and mailboxes from it but I can't figure out how and I don't know why they are being duplicated.

How to restore accounts and Mail?

My Mail account suddenly disappeared (MacBook, 10.5.8, POP). So I reentered all the settings and logged in again. Many emails were missing so I deleted the Envelope file and restarted Mail. Now it is sort of back, but one of my accounts is missing, and I have many duplicate emails. I have TM backups; should I simply restore the Mail folder and not worry about setting up the other missing account? Seems the most straightforward solution. Any special procedures that need to be followed with restoring? (Why did this happen in the first place?).
Thanks

Hi there.
If you have a TM backup that is perfect.
All you have to do is to restore the mail foder and the com.apple.mail.plist and it must give you the previous configuartion you had on the time you made the backup

Sync mailboxes between IMAP accounts and mail

Hi,
I would like to move messages of a similar nature to a particular folder on my mac and have them move to a folder of the same name on my IMAP account.
For example, I have a folder called "work" on each of my IMAP email accounts. When I move messages into this follder, through mail or on the web, I want them to automatically sync.
I also want the mail in the "work" folder in different email accounts to show up under the same "work" folder on my mac(s).
Is this possible at all? Thanks.

I always like to start at the beginning and with the most obvious answers . . . Are you certain that you have the accounts on the PB set to be active and online? You can check this in the preferences where you need to select a check box to make the account active (I think it is the first option). You can also right click (or two finger click) on the accounts in the message viewer window's left sidebar and select to take the account online.

Multiple email accounts and mail check frequency

If I understand correctly, I can have multiple email accounts on the iPhone, one for work, one personal for example. Is it possible to have distinct update settings, or to easily take one offline? Say I don't want my work email retrieved during the weekend. We're all set to do the family thing with iPhones, but this question came up. With my Treo I frequently turn only one or the other of the accounts on, depending on what I'm doing.
How distinct are the accounts? I assume the mail is in separate accounts as on the desktop?
Thanks

Thanks. That's good news.
In Mail app I have one account, with two different "from" addresses set. I select the proper address depending if I'm writing family or a mailing list. Is that same feature available as it is on the desktop?

Hotmail accounts and mail app on mac

hi guys
why does buzzword go to my mail app on os x
is their any way i can go to my hotmail account instead
thanks

Hi Andyvj.
My guess is that you're trying to "Send email to sharing list" (see screenshot) which would cause the mail app to open.
Instead, click on the "Share" button. It'll open up a dialog where you can enter email addresses. That way, Buzzword will send out emails to your list. When people respond to the sharing email, replies will go to the account you've registered with Buzzword. If you register your hotmail account with Buzzword, then replies will go to your Hotmail account.
Good Luck!

Hotmail account and Mail

Can anyone tell me how to get Mail to work with hotmail account for Leopard?
Also, when I connect it to my gmail account (which does work, sorta) it downloads my sent items on the gmail account but not my inbox items. What do you have to do to get it to actually download the incoming messages?
Thanks,

I have 6 mail accounts and today mail opens to a "welcome to mail" log ???

I run like 10 mailboxes and 6 email accounts on the Mail App. Yet today I open Mail and suddenly it pops the "welcome to mail" window. I know my accounts and mailboxes are there, but i can´t figure out how to properly open them?? any ideas???
i have important stuff in there

First in the Finder, open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder -- Duplicate the Mail folder and drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Close the Finder.
Open Mail, and setup your accounts again, and if prompted to Import anything, Decline and Mail should rediscover the account folders that presumedly you found above.
But let's talk about why this may have happened. How much free space do you have on your hard drive, or if partitioned on the boot partition? If that is not an apparent issue, and if you were not using an application (such as video or audio) that used a lot of disk space temporarily, then might you have closed the lid on your laptop before Mail had finished its housekeeping tasks?
All these questions are because OSX can overwrite preference files when low on space, or if housekeeping tasks do not finish then the preferences may not be preserved.
