Restoring Mail from Time Machine onto a different Macbook

My 2008 MBP died given the well known NVidia video card problem.  Since Apple called my MBP an "antique" and any service or warranty due to the video card issue is expired, I'm left with a heavy paperweight. 
I'm not in a position to buy a new MBP currently but I'd like to at least restore my Mail archives and folders from Time Machine onto my Mail on my 2011 MBA.  Can I get some tips on the best way to do this?

You could restore your mails from TimeMachine back up with Migration Assistant.

  • Can't restore mail from Time Machine

    We had a power failure last night and when I finally restarted my iMac, I found 99% of my Inbox was gone.  When I attempted to restore it from Time Machine, I got the following notification:
    "Mail" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X.
    I have restored it before without this problem.  I would appreciate any assistance.

    Check your Mailboxes Under "ON MY MAC" and look for:

  • Cannot restore Mail from time Machine - permission problems

    I am running Lion 10.7.2 and mail 5.1 (all software updates applied)
    I know there is a fair bit referencing similar problems but I cannot find my solution.
    I inadvertantly deleted a mail account and simply wish to restore the account from my time machine backups.
    Time machine has been reliable in the past and my put my faith in it.  However this problem now introduces a fair bit of mistrust which should never happen with a backup system.
    I navigate to ~/library/Mail/V2 and then open time machine and select a known good backup (I hope).
    I highlight the time machine account folder I want to restore and select "restore".
    Time machine starts the restore normally but very quickly comes up with this mesage -
    "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access “.mboxCache.plist”.
    (I am logged on as admin)
    I have repaired permission on my HD to no avail.
    I assume that the message refers to the time machine file but any attempt at changing permisions on the time machine backups fails as "not permitted" (I would not be surprised at this anyway as I dont know how the time machine file system works).
    I then copied my complete mail folder to another disk and deleted the original and tried to restore the complete mail folder from the time machine backup.
    A similar permissions error message occurs but on a different file.
    I am getting nowhere and am rapidly losing faith in time machine - I totally rely on it.
    Can anyone help please.

    I deleted the account using mail preferences, so following your advise:
    I restored the pref file from the good known backup date.
    I also used disk utility to repair the time machine backup volume which showed no problems.
    First of all, restoring from time machine according to FAQ 15, the actual messages in the deleted account were indeed restored to the new mailbox that time machine created and could be viewed - that is fine and solves the problem of lost mail.
    Almost solved - but what I was trying to do was :
    I had two accounts which show under inbox and when you "get mail" the little whirling indicator shows activity which my wife (and I) liked.  After I deleted the second (now unused account) there is no more indicator when "getting mail" and it is not obvious that anything is actually happening.  Any mail received will show up under mail activity but if there is none we all just sit there with no feedback until it "beeps".
    There was also the other issue of maybe wanting to get back all mail for the deleted account (which you solved).
    I can of course recreate the account as a new one but I thought time machine would be able to restore the mail system back to where it was (as it should) - it seems it may not be able to which is not nice as in "what else will fail one day that I dont know about".  To restore "as was" is why I tried to restore just the "missing" folder in ~/library/mail/v2 but keep running into these permission problems. 
    Time machine was the best backup system I have seen in over 30 years in computing but if it now "doesnt" under all circumstances it becomes useless and we will have to go back to manual or other backup systems. Surely Apple will fix it - a backup and restore system has to completely reliable or not at all.
    I thank you for your help  and, as I say, there is no real urgency as mail items can actually be recovered - it would be nice to be able to restore "as it was" however.

  • Restore mail from time machine

    Help needed please!
    I have recently restored Lion OSX but in doing so my mailboxes have disappeared.  I have Time Machine so tried to enter it but the restore points only go back to the date I restored Lion.  I can see other backups in the route of Time Capsule which suggests that previous backup files are available but I cannot access them from Time Machine.
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Sometime the Library folder are hidden and you cannot see it.
    Try this:
    Press and hold down the Option key.
    Pull down the Go menu in Finder.
    Select Library.
    You can now release Option.
    You should then be able to find the Mail folder there.

  • How do I restore mail from Time Machine after a clean Yosemite install?

    I've been having various performance issues with my iMac recently (wifi keeps dropping off, scan functionality on my multifunction printer stopped working, whole system periodically hangs) so decided to do a clean install of Yosemite. I also have a MacBook Air, also running Yosemite, and on which I have no issues with the wifi, printer or system performance.
    Before doing the clean install, I made sure I had a current Time Machine backup. The process appears to have worked so far, but I have run into an issue restoring my mail. I think it best if I describe how I have restored my documents and then I can show at what point I run into a problem.
    To restore documents, I opened Time Machine, used the keyboard shortcut command-shift-C to show the backups prior to the clean install, and then selected the documents I wanted to restore. This was simple and worked perfectly.
    To restore my mail, I opened Mail, selected 'Enter Time Machine' from the shortcut menu at the top of the screen and then used the keyboard shortcut command-shift-C to show the backups prior to the clean install. This is where I got stuck as command-shift-C is a default shortcut in Mail that shows the colours dialog box. Hence I have been unable to view the correct backup. The backup I want is listed on the right hand side of the screen in Time Machine, but I can't work out how to select it.
    I thought changing the shortcut in Mail might work, but I couldn't find a way to do that either since it is not listed in the Keyboard section of System Preferences.
    Any ideas gratefully received.

    Hey there,
    It sounds like you're still having trouble exposing the proper library folder. You can use the following terminal command to do it globally (this will show all hidden files)
    Open Terminal from your appliications folder and copy/paste this into it:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (press return)
    **After that last line you'll need to restart the finder so use:
    killall Finder (press return)
    Now if you enter Time Machine the correct Library should be visible. To re-hide your hidden files repeat the process above but replace TRUE with FALSE, then use the "killall Finder" again.
    I agree with the commenters above, you should restore the Mail library to the desktop and then re-import it to Mail. This is how I was instructed to solve this problem by Mac help, who I chatted with online for quite a while before they figured it out.
    Hope this helps

  • Freeze when restoring Mail from Time Machine backup

    I had to have the logic board and solid state drive replaced on my Retina MabookPro and before I dropped it off at the Genius Bar I did a full Time Machine backup to an external drive.    I have my fixed Mac back, and restored from that backup, but when I try and start Mail it says "Mail needs to import your messages" and then begins the progress bar for importing my messages.   The problem is that it always freezes somewhere during the import, and now I am afraid I have lost all of my old mail.
    First off, why does it need to re-import?   Why can't it just work off the orignal Mail database backed up via Time Machine?   And secondly, is there an advanced rebuild or other option that can hopefully recover my mail database?    Anything else to try?
    -Lewis

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Restore Mail from Time Machine backup

    Hi, I have a time machine backup from my MacBook which unfortunately crashed and is now resting in Mac heaven. The problem now is that I just bought a new iMac and so wanted to get my mail settings and messages to my new computer without getting all the gunk from the Macbook along. Please could somebody help me out as to which files from where or if there is an easier way to get this done.
    Thanks a lot
    Mitesh Gowani

    The settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the messages should be in ~/Library/Mail.

  • Restoring Mail from Time Machine

    Mail on my MacBook Air hung last night (I did a reply/send and then went to bed) and when I returned this morning, it was still sending. I tried a normal quit but it wouldn't quit. After waiting a while (something like 30 min) and it was still displaying the spinning ball, I decided to do a force quit (it didn't display the "not responding" so decided wait another 30 min)...finally did a force quit (and generated the report for Apple). I then did a permissions repair (just incase) and restarted the computer. When I attempted to open Mail, the icon in Dock indicates that it is open but no windows open. I did this repeatedly but to no avail.
    I then opened Time Machine and backup are all there so I canceled TM and did an Option>Go>Library and opened Time Machine again. Only this time, TM displays "Now" but won't let me go back in time to a date when Mail was working.
    Am I doing this correctly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Eric. When I click on Mail in the Dock, it indicates that it is open (little pointer underneath) but Mail does not appear in the Menu bar above. Here a couple of Grab screen shots. The first one is a pop up when I click Mail in the Dock.
    The second is what I see when I do a force quit (indicating that Mail is not responding)

  • How restore aol sent mac mail from time machine?

    I am using mac mail and an imap connection to aol.  I also have a time capsule and use time machine for backing up. Yesterday I stopped receiving incoming mail in mac mail and tried deleting the aol account in mac mail and then setting it up fresh.  I was shocked to find that my 25,000 AOL sent emails did not restore! I was told by an apple genius bar rep several months ago that once mail was on my machine that the emails would NEVER be lost.  Apparently this is not true.  When I open mac mail and go into my time capsule using time machine, however, do not see the SENT mail icon under AOL--it goes away?  When I try to restore the aol mail from the day before the incident the only thing that comes up is the one Sent Mail mssg that I sent AFTER the deleting and restoring of my AOL account in mac mail. The only relevant post I have found is the one below which was posted in 2008.  Please let me know there is a way to get back my sent messages.  I can't get them directly from the aol server because the server does not save messages that are sent from any client but AOL. Thanks.

    Restoring Apple Mail and Your Emails from Time Machine
    filed under: How-To tags: mail, timemachine Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 11:31 am
    UPDATE (25 August 2010): Please note that this post is well over 2 years old and as Tim pointed out in the comments below, this method may not be the best solution for restoring emails. According to his restore efforts, changes where made to the timestamp from the date in which they were received to the date in which they were restored. I have not tested this myself.
    The hard drive on my PowerBook completely died the other day, but I luckily had been running Time Machine backups since upgrading to Leopard. (I wasn’t all that ****** off seeing as I was eager for an excuse to replace my wimpy 40Gb hard drive with a new 160Gb drive). I fumbled a bit, looking for a specific Apple Mail restore tool. I knew where all my emails lived, but I thought that Apple would have a specific means for restoring apps like Mail. So I created this mini-tutorial on how to restore Apple Mail from Time Machine simply because I could not find this method elsewhere.
    Supposedly, If you attach your Time Machine backup drive, open Apple Mail then launch the Time Machine application, you are presented with historical views of Apple Mail. This did not work for me, the historical views were just blank, so the steps below do not take this approach.
    Restoring Your Emails from a Time Machine Backup
    Warning: If you have already setup Apple Mail with your accounts and preferences, this will negate ALL your doings.
    Note: This process will restore all your email accounts, preferences, passwords, smart mailboxes, etc.
    The How-To
    Before loading Time Machine, open the Finder and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. In there will be a folder name “Mail”. Rename it to “Mail (default)” (Select the folder then hit the Return key to rename).
    Mount your Time Machine Backup Drive (ahem, plug it in).
    Control + Click the Time Machine Application and chose “Browse Other Time Machine disks…”. This, of course, brings up the historical view of your backups.
    Go back to your most recent backup (2nd window back) and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. Select the “Mail” folder and click the restore button (bottom right).
    Once the restore is completed, open Apple Mail and you will be presented with an import wizard (below). Simply follow through the prompts and you will be good to go.
    That’s it!UPDATE (20-January-2009): After step 4., also restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistThanks Jon C.
    If you have multiple mail accounts, you should also restore the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file as well. This will ensure all of your account settings are imported. – Jon C.

    Don't try to restore the file; restore the Note. Go in Mail to the mailbox where the note belongs. Enter Time Machine from there and step back until you find the Note.

  • How to restore from Time Machine onto an external drive

    Hi all,
    I am a backup freak, and I don't feel entirely safe with Time Machine taking care of backing up my system unless I can test every now and then that I would be able to do a full restore. I've had problems in the past with .Mac/MobileMe's Backup.app, which would not be able to restore from an otherwise apparently successful backup, for one reason or another.
    So, is there a way to test a full restore from Time Machine onto an external hard drive?
    Thanks for your advice

    of course. connect an external, boot from the snow leopard DVD and choose "restore system from backup" from the utilities menu. follow the instructions and choose the external drive as the restore destination. make sure it's properly formatted. it should be formatted mac os extended with GUID partition scheme.
    also, you might want to consider doing secondary backups in addition to TM by making a bootable clone on another external drive. use CCCloner or Superduper for such backups.
    Thanks for your advice

  • Restore Archived Lion Mail from Time Machine

    I deleted a mailbox, thinking I could add it back, and synch with the server.  That worked fine, but I forgot that I had archived a whole bunch of mail on that account.   Now I want to retrieve the old mail.  I have a fresh Time Machine backup.  How do I retrieve my archived mail from Time Machine for a deleted account?

    If Time Machine was backing up before you deleted the account, you can try to enter Time Machine from
    ~/Library/Mail.  See if the deleted account is in there.

  • How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks

    How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks. I know the data is there but seems unaccessable because I may have changed the Computer or Owner name. Is there any way to fix that now?

    Hi Linc,
    my back-up data is managed by Time Machine; the actual data is on a second internal Hard Drive with a capacity of 1TB - not partitioned. I am using Time Machine and have access to all data backed up since Mavericks Clean Install but not the data prior to this date.
    When I open the 1TB drive in Finder I can see a folder "Backups.backupdb/Sigi's Mac Pro/ followed by many folders of backup dates going back to 2010-09-20-103441 and up to 2014-02-07-142414 all followed with folder Macintosh HD.  February 7th  2014 was the date of the clean install.
    These Backups are followed by backup date folder 2014-02-08-075554 with a subfolder of MacPro-320GB (this is the name I assigned to my Boot Drive during formatting; I suspect I should have assigned the same name as before ie. Macintosh HD) and 2014-02-11 with a subfolder Macintosh HD, these are the ones I get access to by way of Time Machine > Restore.
    Weird thing is on Febr 11 when I relised my possible mistake and renamed the Bootdrive back to what it was initially ie. Macintosh HD despite this I have access to all backup data since the Clean Install in both folders MacPro-320GB as well as Macintosh HD but not to any data prior to the Clean Install.
    Is there something that Time Machine knows and prevents access or is it simply a matter of renaming the subfolder 2014-02-08-07554/MacPro-320GB to ........./Macintosh HD?
    I like to restore selectively and not everything - It was hard work reinstalling apps that were supposed to be the troublemakers (ref my discussion on Maverick problems) but I now need to get onto data specific to some of these apps as well as other data I may have missed. Long story? Yes and sorry.

  • Can't restore email from Time Machine

    I am running 10.7.2.  When I try to restore emails from Time Machine by making Mail the active application and entering Time Machine, nothing happens.  I do get a message that Finder is not responding.
    I don't have this problem if I am trying to restore contacts from Address Book or files from Finder.
    I have checked the TM disk, and there are no problems.  I have also repaired permissions.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Restoring files from Time Machine after installing Maverick

    I have an older MacBook Pro and while installing Maverick my aged hard drive gave out. I got a new hard drive installed by an authorized Mac dealer and now I'm trying to restore files from Time Machine. I haven't done anything at all yet with Maverick. I followed the Migration Assistant directions and have the backup connected to my laptop. The backup icon appeared on my desktop. I hit continue and followed directions and reached the point where it said "looking for source" and there is a spinning ball. That was an hour ago. Is it just taking a long time to sort through the large volume of material in my Time Machine backup, or is something wrong? What should I be doing, if anything? Thank you for your help.

  • Restoring applications from time machine after a clean install of Mavericks.

    I had recently upgraded from Mt. Lion to Mavericks from app store. But after few months I thought it was being buggy and slow. Last week after taking a complete time-machine backup I formatted the computer and clean installed Mavericks again. Now I am trying to restore just few handpicked applications one by one. Most of the apps are either not working or asking me for keys. Is there any other way to restore apps from Time Machine? Because all I see is that it just copy pastes the folder from the backup, and does not restore the prefe

    If I were you, I would not restore your applications from the backup, more if you want the preferences back. Performance issues will be back and you may need to reformat the hard drive again.
    Instead, the best thing you can do is to reinstall your applications manually, so you will not be transferrind files you do not need
