Moving Mail from Mac Pro to MB Pro

I am going to access email only on my laptop from now on. I am still rather new to Mac and need to know how to move all of my mail to the MB Pro. That means all messages, sent and received, and archived folders. Is this possible?

Since both are Intel Macs, you can do the following:
With the Mail.app quit on the Mac Pro and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place it where you'll have access to it by the MB Pro.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Copy the com.apple.mail.plist file and do the same with this file.
With the Mail.app quit on the MB Pro, place the copy of the Mail folder from the Mac Pro at Home > Library. If there is an existing Mail folder in your Library folder on the MB Pro, this will replace it.
Do the same with the com.apple.mail.plist file from the Mac Pro placing it at Home > Library > Preferences on the MB Pro.
Launch Mail on the MB Pro and all Mail.app data and settings will be identical to the Mail.app on the Mac Pro.
The only problem you may have is with Permissions but if your user short name for your Home folder/directory is the same on both Macs, this shouldn't be an issue.

    Did you select the Pages app to sync to the iPad? Do you know how to do that or do you auto sync and rely on that only?

  • Can fonts from a PowerPC 10.4 be moved to a Mac pro 10.7?

    Can fonts from a PowerPC-10.4 be moved to a Mac Pro 10.7

    If it's a Type 1 PostScript font (that's they only way I have it), you need all of the pieces. For instance, here's Adobe's Avant Garde Gothic:
    Avant Garde Gothic.scr
    AvantGarBol
    AvantGarBolObl
    AvantGarBoo
    AvantGarBooObl
    AvantGarDem
    AvantGarDemObl
    AvantGarExtLig
    AvantGarExtLigObl
    AvantGarMed
    AvantGarMedObl
    The first file is the suitcase of screen fonts. The rest are the associated printer fonts. You must have all of them together in the same folder in order for them to work. You can put them in a subfolder of the Fonts folder you put them in.

    I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
    If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
    As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere  ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
    First , If you installed from apple app store  it will be really easily  just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No  don't delete me  I am helpful !) Ok yes  that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
    Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case  , you just skip first step come to here  in order to save you some golden time .
    You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash .

  • How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
    Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
    NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
    To repartition:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Strange sounds from Mac Pro

    Strange clicks going from Mac Pro soon after power up.
    It may going from memory cage when temperature of memory is rising.
    Any ideas?

    Or the graphic card if it has a fan. Or the fans if one is loose.
    You should at least for awhile monitor the temperatures with one of the free/shareware utilities. If you push the system, you might even want to boost the fans from their default.
    Try running Apple Hardware Test after you check for dust, loose cards. Could it be the PSU?

  • Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

    Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
    Thanks in advance
    Jeff

    It is 'just not working' again.
    To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
    I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
    I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
    It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
    I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
    The passwords are 100% correct.
    The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
    Thanks

    Can you pinpoint what 'diagnostic and usage data' you are referring to?  More details would be helpful including the model MBP you are using and the OSX.

  • Problems deleting mail from MAC

    For the past few weeks (not everyday) I have had trouble deleting mail.
    The message is"
    Message could not be moved to mailbox "trash iCloud"
    The IMAP command "UID Copy" failed for the mailbox "inbox" with server error:  Mailbox is busy
    I have also had trouble just moving mail from the inbox folder to other folders on my Mac.
    At first I though it might be a cloud problem, but it has been going on too long!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Deanna

    I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

  • Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
    I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
    Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Mel

    it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
    Go to your account set up...
    and fill in the following details.
    SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
    then click on advanced sending otions...
    click on override default SMTP port... type 587
    click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
    use same setting as receiving mail server.
    try this...

  • Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

    I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button.  It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'.  When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off.  I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)?  I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it.  But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

  • Problem moving mail from one computer to another...

    Hello.
    I'm trying to move a specific mailbox from one computer to another computer. I'm doing this to 2 pairs of machines and with the first pair I had no issues. But, then second pair I get errors.
    On the first computer I just copied the .mbox folder (which contains the sub "Messages" folder & info.plist file) from the one computer to the other. Then, in mail.app I "import" the messages via the Import option (importing mail from Mac OS X). No problem and all messages are imported.
    On the second pair of computers, I did the same thing, but when I try and Import the messages onto the second machine, it says it can't find any OS X mail messages to import.
    I really need to get these messages from one machine to another. "Forwarding" or "Redirecting" all the messages from one machine to another isn't an option.
    Can anyone suggest what might be wrong, or another way of migrating the single folder of messages (not the entire account) from one machine to another?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Hi Kristin,
    I stay away from mbox files because it has never worked for me, but I may have a solution. This may not be THE award winning answer, but you could consider it when the other options don't work:
    I assume you want to import a mailbox that is NOT part of an IMAP account, because otherwise you would not have this problem (right?) (otherwise just open that IMAP account on the computer you want the messages on).
    But if you have an IMAP account, besides the POP account that contains the mailbox in question, you can use that account to fix your problem:
    Go to the compu that has the desired mailbox, make a new folder in the IMAP account called 'backup' or whatever. Copy all messages from the desired mailbox to that new IMAP folder (depending on size this may take a while, because you are uploading via your internet connection). Now go to the other compu, make a new 'local folder' in mail.app. Open the IMAP account in mail.app and open the 'back up folder'. Now copy all messages to the new, local folder.
    If you don't have an IMAP account, you can always open a free one with gmail.
    I know, it's not very elegant, but this will work guaranteed.
    Good luck,
    Feddeg
