Is there a way to share my Mail account and settings between two partitions, running Snow Leopard and Lion?

I have two partitions on my internal hard drive - one is running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the other is running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Mail (5.0) is set up and runs perfectly on the Lion partition and I have not used Mail (4.5) yet on my Snow Leopard partition. I want to know if I can read, download, and save mail into the same user Library folder (probably the Lion user library) from both partitions...

You usually set up your mail accounts on a specific e-mail client programs such as Mail in OS X and Mail on an iPad, which will access the same remote mail server to have your messages show up on each device. Mailboxes can be synced in this way between two devices.
An alternative is to use the same remote application such as Gmail to access that service from multiple devices, so a dedicated e-mail client like Mail is not needed, but the availability of these depends on the e-mail service being used.

  • Is there a way to transfer my mail account settings to my iPhone

    Is there a way to transfer my mail account settings to my iPhone - via Itunes or icloud?
    I use apple mail Version 7.2 (1874)

    I know how to do it on the phone. Just wondering if there's another easier way to do this. Reasoning: we change our password for our emails frequently.

  • Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP?

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP so as not to have to create a new account?
    Thanks

    GMail offers both without you have to pick one or the other? If so, and changing the server doesn't work then you will need to re-establish the account in Mail. Don't delete the old account (or you will lose any downloaded messages) - there's no reason why you shouldn't have both available. You can move the messages from the POP account to another folder and then delete it.

  • I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?).  How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

    I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard.  However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted.  It is running the next operating system (Lion?).  Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac.  It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages.  I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

    I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
    many thanks!

    In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
    In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

  • Is there a way to keep the scripts I use synchronized between two computers?

    I'm using InDesign CC on both my home PC and my laptop (also using Windows). I have several scripts for InDesign in my script folder on my home PC. Is there a way to keep those scripts synchronized between both computers? So that I can add or delete scripts on one computer and the same scripts will be respectively added or deleted on the other one?
    Thanks in advance °ω°

    @Steve – at least with the Dropbox Service and OSX this is possible:
    Just create a folder (with all your subfolders, if needed) for all your InDesign related scripts in your Dropbox. Make that main folder an alias. Just copy that alias to your Scripts Panel folder. Do it on one machine. Do it on the other. Every time you want to update a script or add/remove a script do it on Dropbox. The alias will reflect that instantly (if you are on a speedy online connection).
    Every script in the alias-folder hierarchy is visible to InDesign.
    That should also work in an Windows environment (I did not test that).
    However: Backup frequently in case the Dropbox service will not be available (for whatever reason).

  • Is there a way to share an iTunes account with 2 users?

    I just sold my computer with my iTunes stuff on it (kept a backup on an external HD). My son and I share a Macbook that has his iTunes stuff on the internal HD. Until I get a new computer and re-load my iTunes library to it, can I create a separate account full of my stuff and vwhen I sync, I get my stuff and not his?
    Thanks.
    JB

    Just a word of caution: I have experimented recently with having 2 iTunes accounts on my MacBook Pro, in order to see if I could make a separate library with only lossless files. I encountered the following problems:
    1) When I changed the library name for one library both were changed
    2) When I changed the media location in one library both were changed.
    I don't know if I did something wrong, but I would proceed carefully, and test the solution before putting it to use.

  • HT204053 .  Is there a way to change/update icloud account and apple id

    I recently changed email addresses, so I changed this in my apple account.  This changed my apple id.  When I did that, I can no longer get icloud to work.  On my devices I am unable to change the account id for icloud, and I can no longer log in with my old password.  how can I update the user name on my icloud account to match the updates in my apple account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • Transfer Mail from Snow Leopard to Lion

    I have a new iMac and I want to transfer my Apple Mail from my older Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard to it.  I've zipped up the Mail folder that was under Library and I found out how to access the hidden Library on my iMac.  I see mail has changed a bit in Lion and before I unzip my mail folder into /Library/Mail, I want to make sure I won't screw anything up.
    Any suggestions or warnings?
    Thanks.

    I suspect Migration Assistant of migrating some possibly corrupt files from a previous system, which in turn has evolved into frequent and persistent SBODs in my current system. Not that I can prove any of that, but in an effort to improve my performance, I'm working on (finally!) upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion (I know, just in time for Mountain Lion, right?). Rather than use Migration Assistant, I'm piecemealing the transition, moving a little at a time to see if I can figure out why my current system has gotten bogged down. If I can move a major piece and have it come out OK, then I'll move another little piece. When I get the big stuff done, then I can decide if I can live without whatever is left. Big stuff will be Mail, Safari (bookmarks, etc), NetNewsWire (the biggest part of that will be making sure the Google Reader stuff comes with it), 1Password and MS Office.
    For Mail, is just the ~/Library/Mail folder and com.apple.mail.plist file from Preferences all that's really needed? I was reading an about.com article that talked about moving keychains folder, but that got me into trouble enough that I'm having to restart the Lion install on an external drive. Is the Keychains folder move necessary?
    Thanks for whatever help might be offered.

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

    Home Sharing, which seems to be what you're describing, needs iTunes 9 or later.

  • Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts?

    Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts? I have over 12,000 songs in my library and my son likes the same music, but recently his ipod touch is picking up the texts from my wife's and my phone? I was told the only way to stop this is by giving him his own icloud account which would mean he wouldn't have access to my music library. Any ideas?

    He can still use your Apple ID for iTunes content, no issues. He just gets a separate ID for everything else.
