Move Entourage messages to Mail in diferrent user account

I have two user accounts on my MacBook and need to move Entourage messages from one account to Apple Mail in the 2nd account. What is the easiest way to do this?

I worked with MobileMe support and found that I had to add main account to user account temporarily while I moved files, then deleted account

Mail inbox shows no mail on managed user account

Upgraded to 10.5.6, mail works fine in my main account.
However in managed account for my daughter her mail shows no messages.
i can find her old inbox, I want to restore it to her inbox.. Any thoughts?
I am using parental controls, I have added all her email addresses to the list. I can see her previous recipient list.
Also when I close Mail in her user account I must force quit it, do not have to in my main user account.
iMac G5, 2 gb ram, did archive and install to load 10.5.6, all software up graded, permissions verified and fixed using Onyx and disk utility.

I certainly agree you have to wait to clone intel vs ppc!
But the settings inside the user should certainly be portable - they are just XML files and the options need to be the same even if the code has to be different when compiled as a universal binary versus PPC only code.
The time out period and on/off status as well as whether you need a password to unlock/unsleep is a system wide setting. The last admin user to make a change there wins (undoes any other settings)
The other settings can be different for each user. (Dock icons/arrangement).
Again, simply make one mac perfect and then make a disk image of the /Users/shortname folder on the "correct" mac and copy the contents of that folder to another machine. I think you will find that as long as you correctly preserver the owner permissions/bits the new mac will look exactly like the old one.

How do it get my app to show up with message and mail when the user press "share contact" on the iPhone

Hi Everyone
Would like to check if it is possible to let my app show up togather with message and mail app when the user clicks on "share contact" from their contact edit.
Thanks in advance.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Lost Mail on Network User Accounts

This problem has happened several times and I am pretty sure it relates to using Network User accounts. We're running Tiger server and all user accounts are stored on the server. We are using POP mail that is hosted externally.
A user logs in to his account. There are unread messages and the user starts to read them and reply to email. An hour or two goes by and when the user tries to read an unread email, the email disappears in the list when clicked, along with all the emails that had been received or sent since the last time he had logged into his user account.
There is no trace of the lost mail in the library on the server. If this isn't weird enough, the incoming mail on the ISP host account when accessed by webmail, is either gone or when you try to read it disappears when clicked along with all mail back to the same time that is missing on the user account stored on the server.
This has happened on different users and from different workstations. The only constant appears to be that these accounts are stored in network user accounts.
We are planning to bring mail in-house and switch to IMAP. But would like to know if anyone else has ever seen this.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

Having the same problem here. I think its to do with the network home having a different database file from the local home and when the background sync happens the local home database is being replaced by the network home.
There is nowhere to set that during a background sync the local home should always be considered the newest and be pushed to the network. Sounds like it should be logical, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
I have users complaining that there machines are ok when they start, they have mail arrive during the day and then disappear and their mail box reverts back to the state it was when they logged in.
There is also the problem that when they move they don't always get the latest version of their mail box.

Can you move websites published on from a Single User account to Team account?

Hi All,
Need some help we had a single user account with which all our websites were hosted for clients, then we upgraded the whole studio to the Team Package, but need to know if we can cancel the single user licence and move the current live sites in that account to our team account? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt.

Hi,
There is a ~/Library/Mail/ and this has a subfolder of /AccountTypes, so full path is ~/Library/Mail/AcountTypes
I have 6 active email accounts over 20000 mesages and send and receive constantly. Until upgrading to Lion I was able to see the directory contents you mentioned and used to backup the .mbox files etc as required and everything was good.
Now Nothing, hence my confusion
Any ideas? Am loathed to delete complete drive as even though I have a timemachine backup and could also generate a diskimage file am just not happy

Messages on the mac, different user accounts

If you sign into messages on your own password protected user account on a shared mac with different user accounts, will other user accounts be able to access your messages from their account?

Hi,
This is really a yes, no, maybe answer.
If you set up new Mac user accounts on your Mac and never use any of the details that you use in Messages (any account) then, No.
If however you set up a Mac User account to test and entered the AIM Screen name you use then the Keychain and the .plists may remember some of that account details.
This could be a problem if you then let someone use that Mac User account.
There are ways to get the password info in the Keychain.
To explain a bit more of the how.
If for instance you created a test Mac User account and set up Messages here.
You could then turn On Parental Controls if it is not an Admin account
If you set the Messages settings then you can not add Buddies to the lists
You cannot chat to Buddies unless they have been added to a list in Parental Controls.
At thie point all your Buddies are Blocked.
Going back to your regular account will find they are blocked there as this function flags the Buddies at the Server end.
If you then add some Buddies but not all then in the AIM Account they become the Allow Specific People list and everyone not in the list is Blocked.
The Allow/block situation remains the same (even if you move computers or try a web login to AIM)
The same regarding using the same Apple ID in this Mac User account as it's details are held in the .plist
Also if you had an older Apple ID that you then registered for iCloud and received an @me.com email ID in addition and later an @iCloud.com one you can use these Apple IDs independently of each other with regards to iMessages.
However the server will keep trying to add these to your iMessages account in Messages.
I have not tried creating a separate iMessages account and testing this yet to see if the main Apple ID would try to get added to the other set ups
Basically the answer is no.
However be careful if any of these Mac Users Accounts were set up before and have tested anything you use in your Messages app.

Putting old mail in new user account.

Hello,
Sorry this may be a really simple question,
I've had mail running on the administrators account for a couple of years, I'm just creating user accounts for all the different people who use it. I want them all to be able to access the old sent messages and the entire archive of their mailbox.
How can I put this information into the new user accounts?
Is it just a case of dragging the relevant files from the Adminstrators library>mail account?
Thank you so much for any help you can give me
cheers

Why can't i use mail in other user accounts? (the mail icon is a ? mark)

My user account is the main administrator account, .... but i have other family members that are at that age that they want to use their own account with their own mail account. However, .... under those other accounts, .... the mail icon in the dock is a question mark.
I believe i checked the appropriate check boxes under administrator to allow other apps to be used by other accounts but i am not 100% of this... please help...thanks

Did you move the location of the Mail app?
Within the other accounts navigate to Macintosh HD > Applications > Mail. Double click. Then select the dock, choose the hawk's wings icon and right click and choose "Keep in Dock".

Trasnferring MAIL settings between User accounts

I have 2 user accounts on my Powerbook, PERSONAL and WORK.
I use Mail in my personal account, but would like to transfer the settings and the messages into the work account to avoid switching the accounts just to check the delivery of mail.
How can I transfer the account settings and the messages?
Patrick

Patrick,
As you have framed the question, I don't think this can be done. While you can always "clone" an entire Mail setup, you can add a setup to one existing quite so easily.
I think you will need to set the personal account up, and then Import your account folder mailboxes in the Work User account. The import can run into permission problems, unless you copy first to an external drive, the Shared folder or a CD or DVD. Once you import the personal account Inbox and Sent, let's say, then you can transfer their message content into those mailboxes that resulted when you set up the account in the Work User account.
In any User folder the Mail folder is located at ~/Library, and in this Mail folder you will find one account folder for each account you have.
Ask any questions, as needed.

Mail on multiple user accounts

I work from home, and use the same computer for work and play. To remove the temptation to play games and such when I should be working I set up a user account for my business. I have a gmail account (POP) that I have set up to access under either user account (and need to access in both accounts).
The problem is, the mail gets "stuck" in whatever user account I have open when I recieve it. Is there a way to grab mail from one user mailbox to another?

Since a Gmail account is accessed as a POP type account with the Mail.app or with any email client, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message".
Do this for the account preferences in Mail under both login accounts.

Move files and settings from admin to user account

I used to do my daily work in the only admin account on my Mac. For safety reasons, I'd prefer to do my daily work in a user account (that is, in an account with less privileges).
* How do I move all my data and preferences from the admin account into the new user account? Will I need to copy some fonts and applications? How to adjust the access right?

The easy way is to create a new administrator account, logout out of the old one, login to the new one, and use the "Accounts" system preference to turn off the administrator privilege of the old account. The old account should then be used for normal work.

Apple mail migration from user account

Is it possible to migrate entire mail accounts from one user to another? I had to create a new user account to get some of my Adobe applications to work. In doing so, my mail data all resides in the old user account.

Mail and Multiple User Accounts and Email Accounts

Hi there I want to be able to have two seperate pop email accounts, one for each of the two user accounts on my Mac mini but what is actually happening is that the primary mail account opens up within both user accounts and if you email the secondary account it arrives at the inbox for the primary one. The two pop accounts have the same ISP (NTL) and incoming mail server but different user names. I'd be very grateful for any suggested solutions!
Thanks

When you check Mail preferences and select accounts, you should show only one account for each user. If two accounts show for both, the upper account is considered the primary, but all mail from all listed accounts will be available.
If you show two accounts, delete the account not belonging to the logged in person.

Sent messages in Mail.app for IMAP accounts

I just converted my email POP accounts to IMAP. With POP, everything is stored on your computer, right? With IMAP, all the sent messages are stored on the server, and stay there forever if you specify it. But are the sent messages also stored on the computer in the user library? I am using Yosemite OS.

But are the sent messages also stored on the computer
Yes. The copies on your computer will be synched to match the copies on the server. If you disconnect your Mac from the Internet, you will still be able to view the mail prior to the disconnection. It's one of the main advantages that IMAP has over POP.
Note that there are behavior options for the Sent mail folder that change the retention levels:

Import mail from deleted user account

I created a new administrator account on my mac mini and deleted the old one but chose to retain all of the user folders and files.
I would like to go back and import mail messages from a pop mail account in the deleted user library, but can not navigate
to the library when mail asks for the location of the files to import. Is it possible to find those files?

Never did find a solution to this. However because we are using IMAP accounts most of the mail was cached on the client Macs. So I offlined them, loaded Mail, copied all the mail into local mailboxes, recreated the users, went online and copied the mail back into the new hierarchy.
Still can't believe I did such a daft thing!
