Importing mail from 10.4 without the "import" feature.

Hi, Gang.
This may seem obvious but I'm confused.
I want to import my mail from 10.4 to my new Leopard.
I have a copy of the "Mail" folder from 10.4 containing all of the mailboxes, etc.
My question is, can I replace the 10.4 folder with the 10.5 folder (nothing is in the 10.5 "Mail" folder at the moment)? If I do this, when I first open 10.5 mail, will it have all of the messages that my 10.4 mail did?
I ask because I know this would work on a Tiger to Tiger transfer but I cannot say with a Tiger to Leopard.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
HV

Hello Matt.
The mailbox (mbox) format used with Jaguar and Panther Mail is significantly different than the mbox format used with Tiger Mail.
Although you can import Jaguar and Panther mailboxes to Tiger Mail, you cannot import Tiger mailboxes to Jaguar or Panther Mail without doing some manipulation first.
Each message contained in a Tiger mailbox is stored as a separate file in .emix format located within the Messages folder for the mailbox. The .emix format allows for Tiger Spotlight search capabilities and unfortunately, this mbox format variant is not backwards compatible with previous Mail.app versions.
Try using an emlx to mbox Converter.
Quit Mail first on your Mac running Tiger and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail.
The associated account mbox folders for each account are located within the account named folder - named by the user name and incoming mail serve for the account. Within a POP account named folder should be the following mbox folders; INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (if Junk Mail is set to automatic).
The mbox folders within an account named folder represent the account named mailbox under Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
Assuming you are interested in the account's Inbox and Sent mailboxes/messages only, within the INBOX.mbox and Sent Messages.mbox folders is a Messages folder which stores each message contained in the mailbox as separate .emix files.
After locating the .emix files, follow the instructions included in the emix to mbox converter link.

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it.

  • How can I delete songs from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes?

    How can I delete songs (forever) from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes automatically?
    My settings are , handle songs manually.
    Best regards PelleRPG

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • How can i autoforward that mail from SAP INBOX to the outlook

    Hi ,
    My Requirement is that,
    I have to send an email to outlook, whenever PO Created in SRM System
    I have created  custom workflow, i have added a sendmailtask step, i given the SAP userid to send SAP Mail to the user.
    It is sending SAP Mail to the User to his inbox perfectly.
    Now, how can i autoforward that mail from SAP INBOX to the outlook. This is has to work for all users.
    Please give some suggestions. ot it can be achived any other way.
    Note: This is Email Message not a workitem.
    I have doubt that RSWW program will work only for workitems.*
    Thanks & Regards,
    Suresh.

    Hi ST,
    what I understand from your requirement is that you are able to send messages using SendMail Step to SAP Inbox and now you want it to be sent to users Outlook.
    Here you need to create a container which would store users email address of Outlook (which would be stored in SU01 or in a ztable), use this container in your Send Mail step and in the Recepient Type as email.
    Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature?

    Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature? I updated from PSE 10 (where I created my own list of "places,") to PSE 12, where "places" seems to require the mapping feature. I would prefer not to use the map, and stick to my old way.
    Thanks for any help!
    Tom

    Apparently, not only is the mapping feature required, but once the GPS-loaded Place tag is created, it is not listed in alphabetical order with other place tags.  It is listed by country, then by state, then by title!!  !! VERY irritating!!  And what if I want to create a place tag (of which I already have many) which does not have a recognizeable address, like, say, Grandmother's House?  VERY irritating.
    And if I use the Keyword feature to create Place tags, they will be in an entirely separate list from the other Place tags.  VERY irritating!
    Who designed this upgrade?  I will soon start looking for an alternative, though I have used Photoshop Organizer for years and have thousands of photos in it.  My upgrade to PSE 12 has caused me nothing but headaches.

  • Syncing Mail with Word attachments without the internet?

    Is there a way to sync email with Word doc. attachments with a desktop, via a usb cable, without the desktop having an internet connection?
    The setup is an iphone that syncs mail with a work computer that is internet connected. At home there is no internet accept Edge; i.e. iPhone gets internet but the desktop does not. I would like to use the iphone to move Word docs from emails back and forth to the desktop. I.e. someone emails me with a word doc attachment, (ii) Can I then sync (download) the attachment onto my home computer via a USB cable, edit the document? and then (iii) sync (upload) the edited word document back to the iPhone (which will then sync with my work computer via the Edge connection.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Tooschaye,
    iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, it does not sync the actual emails or attachments.
    You should be able to find a few applications on the App Store which will let you store files on your iPhone. Then you can transfer the files to your desktop. I believe most of these apps require the devices be on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • How do I keep my Cox mail and MSN mail from all going into the same in box on Apple mail

    I have a Imac and Mac Book.  The Imac apple mail works great.  I also have a Mac Book.  The Apple  Mail is set up the same as the Imac.  The problem I have is that both Cox mail and MSN mail go into the same inbox on Apple Mail on the MacBook even though the accounts are separte.  From what I see, the settings are the same as the Imac. I tried to reinstall the apple mail.  No luck!  Should I try again.  Any ideas?

    Go to settings>iclod>then mark "no" in  "contacts" .

  • I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

    I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
    I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
    Thanks.

    I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
    The Yahoo is IMAP.

    I'm having the same issue. Except someone stole my phone and I don't know who, but I got it back and I don't know their username, but to delete the account you have too. Let me know if you find anything!
    If you are the original owner of the phone, you can force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  You will then go through the setup screens on the phone to reactivate it.  This will require entering the ID and password that were used to activate the phone originally.

  • How can I delete e-mails from one IPad without removing them from other IPads on same icloud? I'ved tried switching off mail sync on all devices but this only works when deleting on IPhone

    We have several portable devices and a mini mac on our system and have found that if we delete an email on one device it is removed from others.
    We don't want this, but at the same time we need to keep our devices clear of clutter.
    It was suggested that switch off the sync mail switch in settings - Icloud, but this only works on IPads & Ipods
    anybody got any better ideas ??

  • How to delete the mail from my iPhone via the server?

    When I delete mail on the Hotmail server, it's still available in my iPhone. Then I have to delete all over again in my iPhone, which is really troublesome! Is there a way to link my phone to the server so that when I read and delete from the internet, it will sync with my iPhone's mail app?

    You would need to set up the Hotmail account as a IMAP instead of a POP3 account.

  • How do I retrieve binary cluster data from a file without the presense of the cluster size in the data?

    Hey guys,  I'm trying to read a binary data file created by a C++ program that didn't append sizes to the structures that were used when writing out the data.  I know the format of the structures and have created a cluster typedef in LabView.  However the unflatten from string function expects to see additional bytes of data identifying the size of the cluster in the file.   This just plain bites!  I need to retrieve this data and have it formatted correctly without doing it manually for each and every single element.  Please Help!
    Message Edited by AndyP123 on 06-04-2008 11:42 AM

    Small update.  I have fixed size arrays in the clusters of data in the file and I have been using arrays in my typedefs in LabView and just defining x number of indexes in the arrays and setting them as the default value under Data Operations.  LabView may maintain the default values, but it still treats an array as an unknown size data type.  This is what causes LabView to expect the cluster size to be appended to the file contents during an unflatten.  I can circumvent this in the most simplest of cases by using clusters of the same type of data in LabView to represent a fixed size array in the file.  However, I can't go around using clusters of data to represent fixed size arrays BECAUSE I have several multi-dimentional arrays of data in the file.  To represent that as a cluster I would have to add a single value for every element to such a cluster and make sure they are lined up sequentially according to every dimension of the array.  That gets mighty hairy, mighty fast. 
    EDIT:  Didn't see that other reply before I went and slapped this in here.  I'll try that trick and let you know how it works.......
