Mavericks move mail to another computer?

Hi all,
I'm having a lot of serious problems with my laptop, so I want to take it in to the genius bar. Past experience suggests that they'll want to keep the computer for at least  7-10 days, so I've borrowed a similar laptop that a coworker doesn't use much. I've created an admin user for myself on it. I can get by without a lot of my software for a week, but not without Mail. I'd like to move at least the contents of my mail folder and my mail preferences to the borrowed machine. I believe I'll have to do this through an external hard drive, since my Time Machine backup is one of the things that is not working. The problem is that I don't know what files and folders to copy in Mavericks in order to move Mail. I found some info about earlier versions of the operating system but can't find the indicated folders on my laptop.
Does anyone know what I would need to move in order to have Mail function on the borrowed machine, that I could then move back if and when my own machine can be fixed?
Thanks,
Tery Griffin

Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Copy the Mail folder.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • How do I get iCloud mail from another computer?

    I would like to access my iCloud mail from a friend's computer. How do I do that?

    I apologize for making an incorrect assumption.  After searching now for about 30 minutes I cannot find one conclusive article from Apple that states in plain terms that you cannot access your iCloud email from another computer. I cannot find anything in the ASC when i do a search either. That really seems absurd to me, and probably another reason why I refuse most of the iCloud services myself.
    Anyway, that is of not help to you and I apologize for that. This is the most conclusive evidence that I can find that states that you can't read iCloud email on another computer unless that computer is set up with iCloud.

    I hope for your sake, that I am missing something and it is possible to access mail from another computer, otherwise it is really pointless to rely on iCloud email. I/we have to be missing something somewhere ... I hope.

  • Is there any way to package a project to move it to another computer?

    I've got FCE4 projects on one computer but I need to be able to open and work on them on my MBP as well. Currently, I've got the projects in Dropbox, but when I open them, the source media files all need to be reconnected.
    I guess I could painstakingly hunt for them all one by one. Any file I have imported into FCE I keep in the same folder, but files created by iMovie and FCE [like sequence files] I have no idea where they are.
    Is there any way to package the project, like you can in InDesign? That software packages all related files into 1 folder so you always have them.
    Thaks for the help!

    I am using an external scratch disk, but there's not a lot in each project's folder. I need a way to pull everything a project uses and place it in 1 folder so I can move it to another machine. I have everything I've imported...it's just links to iMovie files [I exported rough cuts to xml, then imported into FCE4. I'm not sure why FCE4 is looking for the original iMovie file...] and sequence files that I need to be able to find.
    I was really hoping for some kind of automated function, like packaging in InDesign...

  • Move PE11 to another computer

    I downloaded PE 11 from Adobe. I now have another computer. I need to download PE11 onto this computer.

    Just download the trial (assuming you really do mean download and not "install"), install it and enter your serial number. Save the download file for future use, because there will probably be a new version soon and then there won't be any way to download PSE 11 anymore.

  • Taying to move C5 to another computer

    I have a new computer with windows 8.  I am trying to move C5 to that computer from my olf computer with windows 7.  I used PCmover.  The new computer wants key codes.  I have no idea where to find them.  I do not know if this will work.  I really cannot afford to buy Photoshop again.

    You must mean the serial number. If you registered CS5, it will be under the account that you registered your product.
    If you did not register your product, and you do not have the original CD and box it came on, you took a big gamble.

  • How to move Mail to another drive

    Hi all,
    mid 2011 MacMini, OS 10.8.5, 16GB RAM
    My applications and OS are on an SSD, and I have another internal drive for documents/data.
    Because speed is not an issue with mail, I would like to move the Mail folder onto another drive.
    I have moved the Mail folder from Users/<me>/Library to the other drive, made an Alias and moved the Alias into place on the SSD.
    When I try to run Mail, I get an error message, stating that I do not have access priveleges on the other drive. I have checked the access priveleges, insured that all are "Everybody: read and write" but still get the error message.
    Thanks

    Thanks Eric, but that alone didn't seem to work.
    I also tried changing the access on the source folder before making the alias, but it didn't make a difference.
    Using SymLink, I have got it to work, but only after several false starts. Just going folder to folder, SymLink would crash, but eventually I could get it to work by creating a folder in a folder, then dragging the link one level higher to the User/<me>/Library folder
    Anyway, got there in the end after struggling with it for a day.
    cheers, and thanks!

  • Move program to another computer

    I have Elements 11 (internet upgrade from 9) on a computer I am replacing. What do I need to do to remove and reinstall on the next computer.  Thanks    HB

    if you have catalogs you want to migrate, http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    then open pse 11 and click help>deactivate.  you can then uninstall.
    then download the trial onto your new computer and activate using your serial number.
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

  • How to move actions to another computer?

    Hi,
    this is driving me nuts now. Can't seem to figure it out. I am in the process of moving all my stuff onto a new computer.
    Running CS3 on OS X.
    I have an action that I really want to move over to my new computer, but cannot figure out how to do this.
    help!

    Make sure the Action is in a Set. Then Save it to some place (any place will do, the Photoshop Actions folder in Presets is a good place.) and you can do whatever you want with the .atn file.
    This can all be done either from the flyout arrow menu in the Actions palette or with the Presets Manager.

  • Move mail to new computer

    The desktop (w 10.3.9) is going in storage and the laptop (w/ 10.4) is going with us. I'm trying to move the recd mail from the dt to the laptop. One account moved just fine but the other (with most of the recd mail, about 97 mb) will not. The smaller mbox, when moved, created an mbox folder containing a file "mbox" and a seperate folder "messages" but the larger account only creates the file "mbox", leaving the inbox empty. Am I missing a step?

    Yeh, I'm missing a step! The little menu item called "import".
    Duh.
