New .Mac email format

Comment:
The new implementation of .Mac email is a real step
backwards. It reminds me of the terrible updates that
MicroSoft likes to impose.
There are no aspects of this system that are intuitive.
Bring back the check boxes! Add some real, effective
spam protection with directions how to use it. This
looks like an update looking for a purpose.
Can I get back the old email display?

Actually, if you just want to let Apple know what you think, you should do that here instead:

Forwarding old email to a new mac email

Is there a way to forward my comcast.net email address to my new .mac email
address, I recently switched to FIOS and comcast is cancelling my email address
FIOS will forward for 30 days only to a verizon.net account not a mac account

Jason,
Forwarding should normally include attachments, images and links. However, forwarding of messages with RTF or HTML will often trigger a spam filter somewhere in the path which could then alter the message. You need to be sure that is not happening. To check this send, or have someone send, a simple Plain Text message with attached JPEG to your old account, and see if this forwards correctly.
What SMTP is being used by the old account, and who provides it?
Keep in mind that if you receive messages in your old account, then you can Move them to the .Mac account Inbox with a simple Move To command in the Rule rather than a Forward, and then they would be in the .Mac Inbox with the original headers instead of those headers that result from a Forward.
More info, please.

After migrating to new mac, email folders are lost.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer files and data from my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Air. Everything seems to have transferred just fine, except for my email folders. I have tried plugging in Time Machine to restore them from my backups on my old mac, but the new mac doesn't recognize backups on the old one, so I can't access it through Time Machine while in the mail program. So then I tried searching for my mail files, which (according to what I've read) should be in Library/Mail, but I have no Mail folder that I can find by that path (or, really, by any other). I believe both macs are running Mountain Lion.

That Library folder is actually the one in your home folder, which is hidden. You can view it by clicking the Go menu in Finder while holding the Option key down - you'll then see a shortcut to Library.
The mail is held in ~/Library/Mail/V2, inside folders named for each mail account. You should be able to use the File - Import Mailboxes menu in Mail to retrieve them.

New Mac Email Popup! Yikes!

Glitches... glitches... glitches. Apple products/software are taking on the character of Microsoft's poorly tested products.
The new mail product automatically delegates popup notifications for email and other calendar items while folks never asked for it.
I dismissed a popup today, then had to search for the email. I finally found it in the trash... then, I couldn't drag it to my Inbox!
What a world we live in!

New .mac email

Messages received to my new .mac webmail are coming with images unloaded. What can be done so that the images are downloaded automatically?

HT204053 how do I add a new mac email address

How do I add a new me.com email address? With mobileme it seemed like you could add up to 5 email addresses but not quite sure how it works now with icloud.

With iCloud, you only get one address per iCloud account. You can create up to 3 alias adress names, but these still receive email to the same inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). If you already have a @me address, you should have been assigned a @icloud address too. This operates like an alias address, but does not count toward your total of 3.
Also, new iCloud accounts only receive @icloud addresses; @me (and @mac) addresses are no longer available.

New comcast email format

I absolutely HATE the new format of your emails. I can no longer find emails that I haven't deleted as they are embedded in confusing lists with other emails when I include them in forwards. ALSO, because of this, when I try to forward, I'm not always sure that I've not included some of those forwards inappropriately to the person I'm responding to directly. This is because there are now 2 forward options, one at the top of the page, and one again in the embedded email below. This is TERRIBLE. You've made your email service now so very frustrating and confusing that I'm looking to switch to another email service provider. I've been with Comcast for years and this is a good opportunity for me to look for another cable service provider as well. I can't even explain the problem properly for you to fix because it is so confusing.

What were you thinking, Comcast? The new format is confusing, non-efficient, frustrating and a very bad idea. I'm wasting a lot of time navigating. Change it back NOW.

Moving LR2 from Windows to Mac; drive formatting issue...

Over the past year I have gradually switched from Windows OS to Mac OS and Lightroom is one of the last to migrate.
I have a 22+K image library (both images and movies) with a deep directory structure accumulated over many years, currently on a Windows NTFS formated drive. I moved the LR catalog to the Mac without problems and it now has no problem "seeing" the images on the Windows drive, HOWEVR, since this is a NTFS formatted drive I can only read and not write to the drive and thus I need to move the library to either a FAT32 Windows drive or (better) to a native Mac OS drive.
The problem I am running into is that if I move/copy the images outside of LR, the software cannot "see" the images on the new Mac OS formatted drive. Moving the library from within LR does not work because when LR tries to erase the images from the Widows drive it returns an error and stops the process. Exporting the image catalog seems to export the images and not the movies that are scattered through the folders and thus creates a file managing headache. I have read extensively through tutorials, support pages and discussion forums and cannot find a discussion of my specific problem. Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Thank you for both suggestions! I am not quite sure what to make of this... I had tried what Jao vdL suggested before and it didn't work. Upon trying to find the files on the Mac-formated drive I usually get the message:"Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo" At the time my understanding was that the problem arises from the different ways that both formats handle individual files.
Just in case, I tried the whole process again last night and got the same error message but then I left the computer running overnight and this morning everything seems to be fine. As far as I can tell the library and catalog are intact and LR is behaving normallly. Strange! Regardless what the reasons behind all this are, it worked so... thank you!

Transfer emails from "On My Mac" to new Mac

Since the year 2001 I am saving all my personal emails, I like to see them maybe as a diary. Anyway, I keep them including attachments and cannot save them via iCloud - too big, too many. So I saved them “On My Mac”. Since I have two Time Machine backups I felt very comfortably about this.
Now I bought a new Mac and need to transfer the emails from my old Mac to the new Mac and have problems doing that. My local Apple store and Apple Care only offer the solution to transfer everything via migration assistant. Please just accept that this is no solution for me.
I know that this problem arouse here several times but unfortunately I cannot find an answer that works for me:
When I copy the corresponding mailboxes (Username) -> Library -> Mail (which really have all the mails inside because they are quite big in size) to my new Mac and additionally copy (Username) -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.mail-shared.plist I see the mailboxes on the new Mac, but they are all empty.
Furthermore I have an issue copying them at all, because the Library is only available after holding the option key and the window that opens shows only the active OS. So regardless if I connect my old Mac in Target mode, use a Time Machine backup or even copied the plist-file from my old Mac to an USB-stick - transferring it is difficult to impossible.
The funniest part, however: After I copied com.apple.mail-shared.plist into my preferences folder of the new Mac the appearance of my mailboxes in mails’s sidebar was weird, so I deleted it again (and the mailboxes including the saved emails) and assumed that after a restart Yosemite would create a new plist. But it didn’t! And my new Mac still runs fine - regarding the mails saved in iCloud - without this plist…
Any thoughts?

This causes problems for me. When I place a single .mbox file into a new folder and import that folder I get the following dialogue:
When I click 'continue' I get a new import folder, but the formatting is a garbled nightmare of seemingly random subdirectories upon subdirectories:
Each of the subdirectories under "ASV" should have just contained messages, not lots of embedded subdirectories. Am I doing something wrong?
P.S. I am trying to move mail from an iMac running 10.7.5 to a new iMac running 10.10.1

Corrupted original APPLE ID and/or not properly linked to the new email format ID

Please HELP! My Apple ID has been "xxMyID " for 10 years and it was linked to my ".mac" email address. The effectively worked the same when logging into the new mobile me, even after Apple forced the ".me" email address on me with the same ID. Now it appears I have 3 seperate accounts and they are not linked. when I bought an ipad I was forced to enter the new ID format in the form of an email address and now I am locked out and the system for my old Apple ID. It will not send me an email using the password reset features.
xxMyID, [email protected], and [email protected] should all be the same account. I don't want 2 or 3 mac accounts but somehow that appears to be what has happened. Somehow all my iphone apps are under old original ID are not working and I can no longer sign in. Typical password recovery does not work.
Please help.

I am having the same problem! My itunes, icloud and all my other apple accounts are fine and ive changed the password numerous times as when i try to update my apps it shows my apple ID as my user name and not my full address. If you find an answer please let me know as I cannot for the life of me solve it :s

Authorisation of an old account on a new mac, Password not working, no longer have access to that email address, and security question not working. But I do have my mac authorised! ...is there anyway to copy or get authorisation info off it???

Please help me!!!!
I have got a new Mac, I am trying to share my itues on it as well as my old mac, I have had two itunes accounts in my life, one is current now (this account) one I have not had access to the email for years. Since I have bought music off both accounts, I wish to play it all on both my macs. My Old mac has both accounts Authorised fine and all is good.
My new Mac, I have thios account running fine, but keep getting prompted for the password for my old account, I have no idea what my old password is, I have not had access to that email address for 5 years, and for some strange reason the security question isn't working eaither.
Since I do still have one Mac where it is Authorised, Is there any file I can copy accross or anyway to get the password out of the OSX 10.6.8 for my old account.
Secondly, is there anyway to roll both accounts into just my current one.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.

I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

Hello!
I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update. It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
Many thanks in advance!

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

How do i get my icloud email account set up in mail on our new mac.

How do i set up my iCloud account on our new Mac My family have set up their Sky, gMail, & hot mails accounts really easily yet mine just woun't work keep hetting a message unable to conect to outgoing mail server.
why are 3rd party accounts so easy to set up and my apple one keeps failing Help...

Thanks - its 1 month old (max), the OSX version is 10.8.4 we already have iCloud set up on my iPhone 4S & this iMac.
I try to tick mail in the cloud menu but get an error message telling me "iCloud mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open mail and add iCloud account from Mail preferences"
when I do that i get the message " the icloud IMAP server p15-imap.mail.me.com is not responding. Try checking the network conection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server may be temorarily unavailable. If you continue you may not be able to recieve messgaes.
we thought the incoming server name looked odd (p15- imap.mail.me.com) but its greyed out and can't be edited even though other 3rd party accounts can.
really don't want to have to ditch the iCloud email account as i use it the most & loads of friends contact me on it
But been trying with my Dad all afternoon to fix it and are both stumped.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks

From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled. You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.
