New install, some mails in old install, can i get them?

Possibly I have not looked closely enough but I can't find this...
10.4.11 Server OD went haywire, all mail files should be intact. Clients are 10.5.1.
Built a new 10.4.11 Server on another partition. We have one account that receives real email and the virus/junk/notjunk accounts for Spamtrainer. There were some mails which were not able to be retrieved from the server by the single mail user before the OD lost its grip on reality (probably my fault).
Can I get the mails in the old server partition over to the new server partition so that the mail user can download them into the Mail client in the userhome?
How might I go about this? I didn't want to snoop around too much for fear of losing the messages.

Erich,
you can copy the message files from the old mailstore to the new one (default location is /var/spool/imap/user/username). Message files are numbered files ending in a dot.
You will need to reconstruct the mailbox after doing so and may loose read/unread flags.
Also make sure you do not overwrite message files by the same number.
After copying, run "mailbfr -o" and "mailbfr -m username"

  • I am trying to set up new folders under another e-mail in my inbox.  The folder names are not displaying under the e-mail name.  How can I get them to appear?

    In my mail program on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get new folders to appear / be listed under a second e-mail account.  They show up at the bottom of the window but not at the top as do the other folders in the initial e-mail account.  How can I get my folders to appear?

    - It does not make any difference what ID was used for setup.
    - I would delete the email account from the iPod and then Goog for how to set up the account for yur particular provider.  Example is: setup earthlink  email on iphone
    YOU can also go to your provider's support site and they should have instructions.

  • I lost my safari and mail icons.  How can I get them back in the screen?

    I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen.  How can I get them back or where can I find them?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

    I accidentlly deleated some phone numbers from my account can I get them back?

    Yea, sorry.  For the future, you might want to try one of the apps in the app store that will create backups of your contacts, such as My Contacts Backup.

  • I updated to the new 5.0 and lost all of my photos and some of my apps. how can i get them back

    lost my pictures and some apps with update. how can iget them back?

    Sync with iTunes to recover these things.
    Connect the iPad to your compter and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side of iTunes and then click on the Apps tab. Go down through the list and select all of the apps that you want to put on the iPad. Do the same thing with the photos. Make sure that the headings - Sync Music and Sync Photos have been selected and then sync again.
    If you have changed the configuration - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

    Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
    <Edited by Host>

    Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install.  If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

  • I deleted some text messages yesterday. Can I get them back somehow? They are very important.

    Can I get the messages that I deleted yesterday back? Very important

    If you synced/backed up your iphone while they were there, then you can restore from backup.
    Otherwise, they are gone.

  • Lost some of my purchases how can I get them back?

    Hi I have lost some of my purchasesd when I had to format my hard drives and lost most of my music. I hadn't backed up my itunes library, which I will do as a matter of course from now one, but is there a way I can download some of the itunes I have previously purchased again without having to pay for them again?
    thanks in advance

    If you are in the U.S., then use the cloud:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/
    Otherwise, you can transfer them from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Backup is very important.

  • I erased some logic files ...can I get them back?

    Hi all,
    I've erased some files by mistake and I want to recover them, I managed to recover all the audio files using 'Data recover II' but I can't find the logic sequences files...
    Can anyone help befor i spend lots of money with data recovery people ?

    They might still be in the song local trash - that would explain why they don't show up in the deleted files.

  • All of my photos did not come to my new phone through My PhotoStream. How can I get them on my new 5C?

    I have tried to access through iCloud, but it still won't transfer. Do I need to sync to my computer and then over to my new phone?

    You need to understand that Photo Stream is TEMPORARY storage ONLY. Once enabled on a device, ONLY new photos you take or import to the device are pushed to Photo Stream. Read more here:

  • I have all of my contacts on my new iPhone, but none in my address book on my mac, and I can't get them to sync. Can someone help?

    I had a bunch of junk entries in the address book on the mac, so I never synced the 2 when I had an iPhone 3GS. I got an iPhone 4 and even after deleting everything in the bunk address book, wasn't able to sync the iPhone 3GS's contacts (it had them all under a group for my my expired MobileMe account). So I got the iDrive Contacts app and back them up out there then ported them down to the new iPhone 4.
    Confusing yet?
    So now I have all of my contacts on the new phone (whew!) but I still can't get them into my address book on the mac. What in the world am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Kim

    Connect your iPhone 4 to your Mac.  iTunes should open.  Look on the left, you should see "Kim's iPhone" or something similar.  Click on it.  Then look at the top of the iTunes window, click on "Info".  You can tick the box to sync your contacts from here.  There are also options to sync with the cloud, with MobileMe, Google, Yahoo, etc, which allow automatic wireless syncing.  Be careful here though, it's very easy to accidentally duplicate your contacts!

  • After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my  projects are  completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

    After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my  projects (photobooks) are  completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

    Define "everything" because if you've tried everything then your last recourse is:
    1 - restore your backup copy of your iPhoto Library created just prior to your Yosemite upgrade or
    2 - Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
