Move mail from one spool to another spool directory?

I have a situation where I think a user's mailbox is corrupt, so my thought is I have to make a new /var/imap structure and rebuild the database. However, mail services have to be off to do this... and it will take a while.
My question is, can't you simply copy the structure from /var/spool/imap/user/xxxx to a new/different account, and rebuild one account individually (so that it now recoginizes this mail in it's spool??)
I have tried the individual reconstruct command but to no avail, apparently.
Thanks for any tips (the goal is to get at this specific email as soon as possible, one way or another).

Formally I always used my ISP's email account as my primary account and when moving or if deciding to change ISPs (I moved twice within a two year period of time), this required changing my email address so I switched my primary email account to a .Mac account so my ISP doesn't matter. It has an authenticated SMTP server so I can send messages with my account regardless which ISP I'm using for my internet access.
A Gmail account would provide the same for you, is free and can be accessed as a POP account or IMAP account with any email client on your computer and with the iPhone's email client. An IMAP account would also provide for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized between both email clients used and the ability to save Sent messages on the server with both so sending a message with the iPhone's email client will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer automatically and vice-versa. You can also create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for storing received or sent messages by by category and these additional server stored mailboxes will be available with the iPhone's email client automatically.
This is not possible with a POP account and BellSouth provides POP account access only.
I understand it is a pain to change your email address but with the combined benefits of a Gmail account which is free and has a good spam filter on the server, I think you should give this some serious consideration.

Is there a way to automatically move mail from one folder to another?

Is there a way to periodically, automatically, move mail from one folder to another?
For example, I'd like to move mail from one of my IMAP/Archives folders to my MyMac/Archive folder and I'd like this to happen without intervention.
Can this be done?

I'll try to be more specific.
When I'm done with an email, I archive it.
Because I have multiple email accounts, this results in emails in multiple Archive folders (one per account).
I'd like to have these automatically all moved into one (on my Mac).

Move Mail from one user to another user on same iMac?

How do I move my Mail (library and preferences) from one user to another user on the same Imac? This way I want to split afterwards the mailaccounts that now sit in one user over the old and the new user by deleting those mailaccounts that I do not want to have in one or the other user account. Appreciate the help.

Can you move mail from one account to another?

I Use Bellsouth as my ISP. As other Posters have noted they are one of the ISPs that won't accept outgoing mail when you are on the Edge Network (even more frustrating since they are owned by AT&T!). When I go out, I have to change my outgoing mail server to cwmx.com which allows me to send messages and reply to e-mails over the Edge network or random Wi-Fis I pick up.
However, cwmx.com doesn't work over my home network...I have to reinsert mail.bellsouth.net:25 in the outgoing server. It is a real pain.
So, I also have a G-mail account. I thought if while I was out, and I went to iPhone/settings/mail/default account, I could select G-mail as the default and I could respond to e-mails that came in on my Bellsouth account via G-mail. Not so fast, Kemosabe!
So, does anyone know a way to move an incoming message from one email account to another on the iPhone so you can reply using a different account?
Just as an anecdotal observation, seems like Apple's iPhone partner, AT&T and all of it's children could give less than two hoots about Apple, Safari, etc. They seem pretty stuck in the PC world.

How to move folders from one inbox to another

I'm helping a friend clear out her hotmail inbox and move everything to her gmail inbox. When everything has been saved and moved out of the hotmail inbox, we're going to delete that account.
Moving mails from one inbox to another is pretty straightforward. However, she has also created about two dozen folders within her hotmail inbox to organize messages from recipients. Is there any way to move these folders either individually...or all at once to her gmail inbox? Although a folder can be tapped on and entered, there doesn't seem to be any operations available such as an option to move them, as one can do with individual messages.

Basically, no; only the iTunes Store staff can do this, and then only by putting the balance from a completely unspent gift card back onto the card.

How do I move contacts from one group to another?

I entered several contacts in address book. How do I control which group they are assigned to at the time of entry? The ones I added showed up in my office contacts in Outlook instead of in Hotmail/iCloud.
Is it possible to move them from one group to another once entered?

Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account? Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault? I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro. I have aperture 3 on both units. Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

How do I move icons from one screen to another.

Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

Can't move files from one volume to another

Using the 1.2 client on SLED, I don't appear to be able to move files from
one volume to another. I have two drive "mappings", each to a
different volume on a NW65SP5 box, but when I try and cut and paste files
I get an error saying "Not on the same file system". However if I drop to
a terminal and just use mv, that works.
Is this a known issue?

Hmm, yep get the smae problem when trying to move files.
Copy works just great though.
I know there are some issues in Gnome/Nautilus that's being worked upon.
These are outlined in the Readme. For example it's not possible to copy a
folder from Server A to Server B, then delete the folder form Server A.
Finally later on copy the folder back to Server A from Server B.
Also Gnome is leaking file handles, which could be the cause for the
problem we're getting here.
I'll ask my contact at Novell about this and have him enter it in as a bug
if it's not a known issue.
For a workaround you already have a good alternative of using mv in a
terminal.

Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Can I move files from one caralog to another?

Can I move files from one caralog to another?

No. you cannot.
This, among many other reasons, is why multiple catalogs are not recommended.
(You could import the photo into another catalog, and delete from the first catalog ... and without first using the command File->Write Tags, you will lose your tags, captions and other metdata; version sets, stacks, album/collection membership are lost in any case)

How do I move clips from one Event to another?

How do I move clips from one Event to another?
As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!
