Synchronize/Transfer email messages from PowerBook to my Mac Pro

Before buying my Mac Pro I was (still am) using a PowerBook and I have a ton of email messages that have been downloaded to my hard drive. I would like to synchronize/transfer those messages to my Mac Pro so that I don't have to be searching for messages in the other computer.
I tried using the Migration Assistant but my email messages were not transferred.
What do you suggest?

What type of mail account do you have - POP or IMAP? What email application do you use? Until you answer these questions it will be difficult to advise you.

Email messages won't download on Mac Pro but do download on iPhone.

Email messages won't download to Mac Pro but do download on iPhone 5. I've made no changes in the settings on added any updates, etc. When I "check for new mail" I hear an ping - a tone I normally don't get but no messages appear. Thanks in advance for an help you can give.

I had to call Apple Support for resolution. I'm not entirely clear on the origin of the problem but it seems that the server name(s) for Apple Mail were changed by Yahoo. It took a considerable time to correct but a senior advisor at Apple pulled it through.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

How transfer email folders from windows outlook to mac outlook

I have already gotten the emails moved from the Dell Laptop running Windows to the iMac and have them in Outlook on the iMac. What I am needing to know is how do I get the folders from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook so everything will be organized on the iMac like it was on the Dell Laptop.

Hi Dmzimmerman1,
What program are you using for email? The answer will vary based on the program. Also, are you referred to archived email folders or is the email account configured for IMAP?

How do I transfer raw files from iPad to my Mac Pro?

Can't transfer photo files from old iBook to Mac Pro

When I travel, I upload my photos using a card reader onto my iBook (1.2Hz, 762 RAM). At home, when I try to transfer them to my Mac Pro Quad (2.66Hz, 3Gb RAM) the transfer always starts OK (a number of files transfer) but then stalls out on a particular file. If I go back to my iBook and remove the "stalled" file, then try the transfer, it starts OK and then stalls on a new file, further "down the list".
So I basically can't transfer the files. Curiously, I have tried transfering the files from my iBook to a CF card and the same thing happens, so it seems the issue is with the iBook. Why would it be an issue only in one direction, ie, no problem uploading the files onto the iBook from my CF card reader? Could this be a memory issue? Any thoughts or suggestions?? Thanks.

I suspect a bad HD in your iBook. Pretty much anything that involved stalling and HDs means that.

Transfer email messages from a Mac to an iPhone

MMy wife uses Pop email, and in upgrading her iphone5 to a new iphone 6, I mucked up her emails on her phone completely, because I thought that restoring her phone from a backup of the old phone would bring in a duplicate of what was on her old phone. Not the case. So now, after much fiddling, the only place that contains old messages she wants to keep on her iPhone is her MacBook. Any ideas on how to get her these messages onto her iPhone?

Hi,
Is she using iOS 5 ?
Is she connected by Wifi ?

Cannot transfer iphoto library from powerbook G4 to macbook pro??

Ok this is driving me insane... So i've had my trusty powerbook since 2005 and have recently purchased a 2009 macbook pro.
I have used migration assistant to transfer some stuff but i cannot get my photos from my iphoto folder onto my macbook pro, i can transfer files via ethernet using file share but in the the iphoto library folder on my powerbook g4 it is structured into dates and sub folders etc which have access priviliges set on each of the ridiculous amount of folders and sub folders.
So if i go into these folders i can change the read and right status but this would take forever and ever and my brother wants my powerbook g4 asap so please can someone help me out here with a quick and easy way to transfer my old photos??
I'm thinking i need to put my iphoto library into a folder that has open privilages but i need pointing in the right direction
thanks matt.

so please can someone help me out here with a quick and easy way to transfer my old photos??
Use a external USB drive, that's the fasest way. Drag and drop copy one to another
Newer Mac's the Firewire is gone, needs a adapter to the Thunderbolt, or perhaps a cable you might not have on hand.
Take the folder of the G4's photo's and place it into your Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > you > Public > DropBox and that should change the permissions to you.
Or you can use the Finder >Get Info on the folder and set them to you and apply to enclosed items.
You will still need to import them into the newer iPhoto format, so don't replace iPhoto Libraries as the G4 one is likely too old to be recognized.
You can right click and "show package contents" if it's a pkg and there should be a folder called Originals you can import into the new iPhoto and thus into the new iPhoto Library.

HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

Into what email program on the Mac?
Mail
Outlook for Mac '11
Entourage '04/'08
Thunderbird
Eudora
... etc
If it's going into Mail you'll need to do a work around, it's not a "straight" transfer unless you buy a 3rd party application called Outlook2Mac.

Transferring email messages from 10.4.11 on PowerPC to 10.8.5 Intel

Can I import all my old email messages from the old iMac G4 running 10.4.11 to my new iMac running 10.8.5? On http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US, Apple says:
"Note: Copying any data files from your user Library folder to the new computer could have unexpected results."
So is there any way I can move the messages to the new iMac and still be able to read them? At the very least, I'd like to import all the email addresses I've sent to and received from. I know I can't use Migration Assistant.
I also have a MacBook (Intel) running 10.6.8. Would it work any better to transfer to that machine first, then to the iMac?

Thank you, dianeoforegon. It seems to have worked, though it created a messy folder structure. I just hope I don't get any "unexpected results" later.
You can drag the folders out of the imported folder. If the folder already exists, move the messages into the new folder. If the folder does not exist, drag to the On My Mac header and it will sort the folder alaphabetically.
Now should I just keep the old Mail folder on my desktop? Or can I move it somewhere out of the way? I can't delete it now, can I?
You can delete.
One more question -- it seems that the addresses in the old email messages don't automatically populate the To: field in a new message. Is there any way to get them to do that?
First let's go over the basics....
Mail stores your recipients’ email addresses in the Previous Recipients list. To view, under Window in the Menu bar select Previous Recipients. If the person is in your Address Book, you'll see a small icon next to their name. To add to your Address Book, select “Add to Contacts.” in the bottom right of the window.
Copy your data....
On the old computer,
Open Mail and select all contacts in the Previous Recipients List and select “Add to Address Book".
In the Address Book, select all contacts and drag to a folder on your desktop. This will create a vcf file with all your contacts.
Use the same method you used before to transfer to your new computer. Drag the file to the desktop.
In Contacts (Address Book) select File > Import and navigate to the .vcf file. You'll most likely see a window with "Are you sure you want to import xxx cards" xxx cards are duplicates and will be updated.
You can select to Review Duplicates..., Cancel, Import. I would import, then run Look for Duplicates under Card in the Menu bar.
Going forward, keep your Address Book updated. If you sync to iCloud your contacts will be available on all your devices.

Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
"The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
thank you in advance!

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.
;~)

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device, and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider. How do I end this?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail. How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.
