Need Help Migrating Tiger Mail to Leopard

Hi,
I just did a clean install of Leopard on my Powerbook and it's running fine. I made a copy of my library/mail and the com.apple.mail.plist file from my Tiger Mail and burnt it to a DVD.
Once i installed leopard I tried to import and it said it could find any mailboxes even when i pointed it in the right direction. Does anyone know how to do this properly? I need to get my mail app looking like it was on TIger pretty soon for work etc.
Thanks
Fjord

Okay
This is what I ended up doing in the end. My mail is a Yahoo Small Business POP account. So...after many different failing methods...
I added the account in Preferences, it then imported all 2000+ mail messages back from the server once this was done, I Imported the SENT mailbox from my clone of Tiger, the program then creates the following mailbox: On My Mac>IMPORT>Sent Messages, i dragged all the messages from this into my SENT box at the top of the list and deleted the IMPORT one.
I then had to re-create all my smart mailboxes from scratch. So, this is not really a proper full-on solution but it's the only way for me to get my SENT messages back which is the most important I guess when using a POP account from your desktop.
Hope it helps.

  • Need help migrating from Mail 3.6 to Mail 4.2

    I just bought a new 27" i7 iMac w/ 8gb ram, 1 TB hard drive.
    I'm trying to migrate my settings over from my old G4 17" Powerbook. I'm running 10.5.8 on the laptop with Mail 3.6.
    How do I import my mailboxes from my old computer onto the new one? I've tried copying the old Mail folder over to the new computer over firewire. That didn't work. I then archived the mailboxes on the old computer and brought those files over to the new machine. I tried to import them on the new machine directly through mail, no dice.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    you need to do it with both the Mail folder AND the mail preference file.
    quit Mail and copy over the whole folder /users/username/library/mail AND the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. start Mail and it should look as it did on the old computer.
    BTW, using Migration Assistant you can migrate your entire user including Mail, address book, music and so on.

  • I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

    Good morning,
    I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

    It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
    The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
    A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

  • HT201250 I am very frustrated. New to iMac products. Just bought a 27" iMac two days ago. Received no manual, no booklet with ID registration number, etc. Need help migrating PC to iMac. How do I get in touch?

    Need help migrating pc to imac. Do not have manual. Trying to get infornation online, but, cannot get an answer.
    I have downloaded pc migration assistant to pc windows 8 pro. Was able to get imac to finally give me "the number"
    Did the same with pc received number once, not same as imac. Pop up window with info dissappers and cannot recover
    What am I doing wrong? Paid extra for extended support package and it took hours to finally get it registered and approved.
    However, no help. Yikes, I feel like a make another great mistake!

    First: If you purchased AppleCare you should call back at 1-800-APL-CARE and ask for further assistance.  You'll want to learn how to retrieve your operating system version and your IMac's serial number as you'll need these for when you call AppleCare:
    Click on the Black Apple in the top left hand corner of your Imac's physical monitor
    Click on About this Mac from the drop down menu
    Below the silver Apple and "OS X" it will say "Version 10.x.x"  (If this number is not 10.8.4, run Software Update by hitting the button marked "Software Update")
    Click on this number twice in a row.  This is your machine's serial number.  (zeros can be used; the letter "O" is never used).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349 for details how to find serial numbers on Apple products
    If you have an Apple ID (you can create one at appleid.apple.com), you can login to supportprofile.apple.com, register an Apple product, and sign up for VoicePass, which, if you give your product a name e.g. Maria's Imac, you can speak that over the phone and skip having to give the serial number when you call. 
    If you have an Apple ID, you can also call AppleCare and ask them to activate VoicePass.
    This is the link for your tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP667
    This is the link for your quick start guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
    This is the link for important product information: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
    Second: this is an educated guess: Your new Imac and your PC need to be either on the same wifi network or you need to connect them physically with an Ethernet cable (available at Radio Shack, Wal Mart, etc).  My guess is that they are not, and so your IMac and PC are not talking to each other.  That might be why you are seeing a different code on the PC.
    Time Machine would not be relevant to your issue.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 is the link to relevant instructions, however it left out some housekeeping you should do on your Imac before you begin a migration
    Run Software Update on the IMac to confirm that the latest updates are installed.
    On the IMac, make sure that you have the latest versions of any third-party software.
    On the source Mac, open System Preferences, click Sharing, and make sure there is a name in the Computer Name field.
    Do not let either computer go to sleep while you are attempting to migrate. To disable sleep on the IMac
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    Choose Energy Saver from the View menu.
    Adjust the "Computer sleep:" slider to Never. (Change this back after the migration is done).
    You can adjust "Display Sleep" to a few minutes - this won't affect the migration
    Uncheck the box if checked next to "Put Hard Disks to sleep when possible"
    I don't know Windows 8 but this link looks promising as to how to disable sleep: http://techmell.net/how-to/disable-enable-sleep-mode-hibernate-windows-8/
    Once you've done this, either connect both Mac and PC to the same wifi network and surf the web with each to confirm that connection is working - or connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable. 
    Then relaunch Migration Assistant on your Imac and your PC, and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 starting with your IMac, or call AppleCare back. 
    Understand that if you have further issues, you'll need to help AppleCare help you by:
    walking them through the steps you've taken in Migration Assistant
    letting them guide you as they isolate the issue to either:
    The Imac's software
    The IMac's hardware
    The PC's software
    The PC's hardware
    Firewall settings (maybe - especially if 3rd party firewalls are installed)
    The wifi connection, if used
    The ethernet connection, if used
    I think the issue is likely what I guessed, or it's a software issue.
    To learn more about your new Mac, I recommend this link: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    And this book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0789749890
    I am a technical support professional who troubleshoots Macs all day long.  I do this for a living.  The book above is the most accurate, and easy to understand book I've seen with respect to using Mountain Lion and its various applications.  It's for a MacBook but the focus is on the software which is why I recommend it.
    Don't feel like you have to rush to upgrade to OS X Mavericks.  In fact, you should always confirm both all the hardware and software you use is compatible with any new operating system before you upgrade.  And ask yourself: "why do I need it now?"  Because it's new is not a good answer.
    In the future, specifying any troubleshooting others have done will help those on these boards help you.  Also, don't let a specific issue lead you to assume you've made an all-encompassing mistake.  It's just one issue, and it's resolvable.
    And everyone else: giving a dozen recommendations for reading will only leave the petitioner bewildered.  Start with three.  And try responding with a hypothesis as to what's causing the primary problem!

  • Need help migrating Mail/iCal/Address data from 10.3 to 10.7

    Hi, I'm helping a relative migrate from an 8-year old iMac (10.3.9) to a new one running Lion. Mostly it's going to be a clean sweep app-wise, but we need to move iCal, Mail and Address Book data across. Of course, these apps have changed a fair bit in across the last 4 'full' versions of OS X, and the folder structures within the user library no longer match between machines. Can anyone advise me what to copy and what to junk? I appreciate this is a bit of a vague question, but that's the situation. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

    The webtogo was dropped in 11.x.    so the URL has changed.  This is one of those situations which needs to be handled by support.   Have you filed a request with support yet?
    thanks

  • Tiger Mail with Leopard

    New iMac 2.4 Ghz - OSX 10.5.1. Since I loaded Leopard, mail will send to server smtp.att.yahoo.com successfully one time in four tries. Error message says server doesn't support authentication. Standard speed AT&T DSL. Receiving mail and send or receive mail in Yahoo mail is solid. Mail will send through AOL server every time. All settings are correct. Second level of Apple Help couldn't fix. AT&T help has convinced me that because Yahoo mail uses same authentication logic the problem is in Mac Mail. Have reinstalled Mail and Leopard. No Help.
    Can I remove mail that came with Leopard and install the older version that was with Tiger? It worked fine.

    Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Outgoing SMTP Server for the email account you're having a problem with/Edit Server list/click on the server you're having the problem with/Advanced tab and enter 587 in Server port box, Authentication Password, enter your account's user name and password.
    I've been having odds and ends of SMTP issues for years from home because I use DSL on a local phone network. It won't allow authentication when used at home because I'm already logged into the network at home. But, away from home one MUST use authentication. Similarly, Earthlink won't allow access to its SMTP servers from another ISP's network, assuming your computer may be generating SPAM email since it can't confirm who you are. The work around is to use port 587 with your email account's authentication. Not everyone opens port 587, but it works more often than not.

  • Can't import my mailboxes from Tiger Mail into Leopard

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a new MBP and I'm now in the process of carefully importing my mailboxes from Tiger mail, on my Tiger backup HD, to the new mail program. I have about 20000 messages saved since 1999, sorted by project etc. Each time I select a batch of mailboxes to import, I get a failure message when it's almost done, saying that some messages couldn't be imported. This is very frustrating: my e-mail archive is possible the most important collection of files on the computer. I would hate for it to become messed up/corrupted.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Alex

    Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.

  • Need help installing Tiger 4.6!

    I have a powerbook G4 that runs OSX 2.8 currently, I'm trying to upgrade to Tiger, but whenever I restart to begin the installation, it boots up to a plain blue screen. I have more that enough space and specs, any reason why it wont boot up? Thanks

    First, you must have at least 256 MBs of installed RAM to run Tiger. Second, you need a retail Tiger installation DVD. If you have a disc with a gray label then you have an OEM version intended for use on the machine with which it came. The retail Tiger DVD has a black label with a large gray "X". You will also need 6-8 GBs of free space during installation. This is in addition to maintaining a minimum of 8-10 GBs of free space for normal operation of OS X.
    Be sure you repair the hard drive and permissions before attempting to upgrade your current system. You should also update all your third-party software for Tiger compatibility. This includes applications, preference panes, startupitems, login items, contextual menu items, etc. If you cannot find upgrades then remove them before installing Tiger.
    I highly recommend you not upgrade 10.2.x. Instead I suggest you install Tiger using the Archive and Install option. You can select the option to preserve users and network preferences.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail turmoil

    I have just finally made the leap from OSX Tiger to Leopard and so far everything is cool...BUT when it comes to the mail program I am about to pull my hair out.  I have copied, by hand, all of my mail settings, incoming and outgoing, and I keep getting errors when trying to send mail.  I can recieve emails just can't send.  On Tiger Mail I even had a specific port  with SSL designated and when I tried to use that same port the Leopard mail program wouldn't let me use the port???
    Why would server settings that have been working in Tiger for 5-6 years not work with Leopard

    I had actually only gotten a message about the port once, but mostly my servers are offline.  everytime I try to send an email I get a message to choose another server...
    this is what I get everytime.  from what I am finding online, this is happening alot with Leopard and Mail3.x

  • Need help migrating mail to new machine.....manually

    I need to wax my machine and start over. I have tried to use migration assistant but the problem I need to cure comes along too. So we want to just start over. I know how to manually move itunes and iphoto. But what folders have my mail and bookmarks for safari?
    Thanks for the help

    if you backup the whole ~/Library/Mail/ Folder you'll have everything.
    it depends on your email - if they are IMAP then you only need to back up the mailboxes that are stored locally on your mac. If they are POP you'll want everything.
    For pop I'd suggest to do a "get mail" and make a new mailboxes (call it INBOX or anything you want) then move all of the inbox content into that mailbox.
    I find it less confusing that way and when you setup your email account on your new mac you'll get all the POP emails coming in and they'll be all marked as Unread. But because you've moved all latest e-mails to your newly created INBOX you can safely delete those "unread" emails that comes in when you set up your mail.
    hope that helps!

  • Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail - Auto Complete Addresses?

    Hi there,
    I've recently backed up my friend's complete Home folder from Tiger, along with all other Tiger assets required to hopefully make a smooth migration to Leopard.
    NERD SCENARIO:
    Apple Mail: My friend relied heavily on "Automatically complete addresses" in Apple Mail, otherwise known as Automatic Addressing, aka: auto complete TO: email addresses when typing a name. Unfortunately, when migrating to Leopard, he has now lost auto addressing after I migrated his old email (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, etc.) He's savvy, but not savvy enough to know to add his recipients to his Apple Address Book -- therefore Leopard Mail is only auto completing recent mail within this past week. I'm now trying to inform him to begin adding people to his Address Book so this doesn't happen again -- but it might be too late? He used to rely heavily on Auto Addressing to remember email addresses prior.
    TRANSLATION:
    1. How can I pull date or history from my backed up Mail folder from Tiger to import back into Leopard so "Auto Addressing" will remember email addresses prior?
    2. Did I not backup his mail correctly? I burned an almost exact mirror of his hard drive to a DVD.
    3. Has he lost his ability to auto address old email addresses? Since he didn't add them to his Address Book?
    Thanks for any help!
    Message was edited by: sem101

    I just did the same thing, transferring all my data from Tiger to a new Leopard MacBook Pro, and now I can't access ANY of my addresses from my old address book, even tho I can see all the data sitting in Library... How the heck do I get the hundreds of addresses into my new address book? And, why won't my new Mail pick up all the Auto-Complete addresses from the old program if I transferred everything over?

  • Need help trouble shooting mail issue

    Mail issue started when the compter (imac intel, g4, os 10.6.8) said it needed to restart during a mail download. I restarted, then the mail program would not stop downloading older messages. I went online and followed a whole bunch of suggestions, which only made matters worse (preferences... drag com.mail.plist to desktop, add it back, rebuild mail) nothing worked. I then trashed the mail program, and trashed some of the mail cache (not wanting to lose preferences, I lett this cache). Then mail I could not access mail without the set-up assistant showing on screen. So... (digging a deeper and deeper hole!) I tried to restore mail from my time machine back-up (severl days prior to issue) and it did not help. I then reinstalled applications from snow leopard... not helpful. I then figured I could use migration assistant to copy my working mail program from my mac pro and this did not solve the issues. Of course all of this taking me away from my Christmas shopping:-)
    So, I tried to set it up manually, but the program will not save the password and it keeps asking for the password but rejecting it each time.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks for your suggestion regarding contacting Apple. I called the Express service and talked for a couple of hours trying to resolve the issues.
    One, to deal with the password issue, Keychain Access > Preferences > click on Reset My Default Keychain, close.
    For the original issue of mail downloading messesges from my server every time I checked mail,
    Library > Mail folder > messagealreadydownloaded3 > drag to trash. Issues resolved!!!
    As for creating a pretty good mess... well all I can say is that I was following suggestions from other users that have posted online with similar issue. Lesson learned??? Not sure if there was one:-)

    Using PHP to process an online form and send the input by email is very simple. The mail() function takes a minimum of three arguments, namely: the address the mail is being sent to, the subject line, and the body of the email as a single string. The reason some people use scripts like form2mail.php is because they don't have the knowledge or patience to validate the user input to make sure it's safe to send.
    Rather than attempt to trawl through your complex form looking for the problems, I would suggest starting with a couple of simple tests.
    First of all, create a PHP page called mailtest.php containing the following script:
    <?php
    $to = '[email protected]'; // use your own email address
    $subject = 'PHP mail test';
    $message = 'This is a test of the mail() function.';
    $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
    if ($sent) {
      echo 'Mail was sent';
    } else {
      echo 'Problem sending mail';
    ?>
    Save the script, upload it to your server, and load it into a browser. If you see "Mail is sent", you're in business. If not, it probably means that the hosting company insists on the fifth argument being supplied to mail(). This is your email address preceded by -f. Change the line of code that sends the mail to this:
    $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '[email protected]');
    Obviously, replace "[email protected]" with your own email address.
    If this results in the mail being sent successfully, you will need to adapt the code in form2mail.php to accept the fifth parameter. You need to change the following line, which is a few lines from the end of the script:
    if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader))
    Change it to this:
    if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader, '[email protected]'))
    Again, use your own email address instead of "[email protected]".
    Once you have determined whether you need the fifth argument, test form2mail.php with a very simple form like this:
    <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="form2mail.php">
      <p>
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
      </p>
      <p>
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
      </p>
      <p>
        <label>
          <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="boat cleaning" id="options_0" />
          Boat cleaning</label>
        <br />
        <label>
          <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="RV cleaning" id="options_1" />
          RV cleaning</label>
        <br />
        <label>
          <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="motorcycle cleaning" id="options_2" />
          Motorcycle cleaning</label>
      </p>
      <p>
        <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
      </p>
    </form>
    If that works, you can start to make the form more complex and add back your JavaScript validation.

  • Need help in e mailing pictures

    I need a password to send my pictures by e mail.  Can you send (or re send) me one?

    Hello Bert, and welcome to the forums.
    This doesn't sound like a Photoshop issue, but an email problem. However, if you give us a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing, we might be able to help if it is in fact a Photoshop issue.

  • Need help migrating photos (and hopefully album books) from iphoto6 to iPhoto '11

    hello all and thanks in advance for your help !
    Just purchased a new 21.5' iMac on Friday, and have been successfully moving data etc from my existing (5-year old) iMac running OS X (10.6.8) to my new iMac using an ethernet connection.
    I now need to move our 12,000 photos from the old iMac, and it currently has iPhoto 6 (ver 6.0.6 (322)) on it. My wife created three large "album books" which we have not been able to order because we have iPhoto 6, and the books are no longer supported on iPhoto6. I didn't upgrade that computer to iPhone 9x which I believe does allow books because I knew we were going to get the new iMac.
    So my question : is it possible to migrate the photos as well as the existing folders, albums, and especially the BOOKS to our new iMac ??  My wife REALLY doesn't want to recreate three years' worth of books !
    Thanks in advance for your replies - Jeff

    For the record - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    Book have changed a lot since iPhoto 6 and may not convert well though
