Tiger to Leopard Mail Boxes and Rules?????

Can I drag my mail boxes and rules from a tiger system (10.4.11) to a leopard system (10.5.2)?
Thank you

I intended to drag from/to ~user<me>/Library/mail.
As I do sometimes, I posted the question then went and experimented. Wondering now if I can reverse what I did. I imported the mailboxes from the tiger machine, then modified the rules to point to the Import/mail box name.
Thinking it would be preferable to not have the Import mail box folder. So maybe I can drag the Imported folder to the trash and as you and the next guy suggested, just drag my tiger Mail folder and .plist file to leopard????

Help setting up mail box and rules, please.

This is rather a convoluted story, but hang with me if you can.- Please.
After all these years I just started to have problems with Mail. Not Mail's problems, but my ineptitude to figure out how to do what I wanted!
Got my new PB 17' last month - what joy- and migrated everything.
I tried Microsoft Office's Entourage, specifically the mail program, just to look at it. So, I imported my mail to see how it acted. During that time I deleted some stuff (knowing all messages were in Mail), so I could play with just a few messages. Closed Entourage after deciding that what I had was far superior. Went back to doing normal things, and it wasn't until about a week later I realized that a very large batch of mail had GONE. I realized right away what had happened - I had been online at the time and Entourage had actually deleted MY precious MAIL.
Too late to get any back, so I set up a "Sheila's Inbox" in Mail (on my Mac) to move messages to, so this could never happen again, and tried to create a rule. That went fine but then I had problems with my junk filter sending everything to my NEW in box (on my Mac). Then I tried to reset my Junk filter and that was a total disaster as I again lost my mail. Can anyone tell me how to set up an InBox on my Mac so I can move mail from the regular INBOX, and still have the Junk Mail filter working properly? I really thought I had done a good job with the rules, but obviously had not. Any hints would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
Sheila

Smart Mail Boxes and how they work?

I am having some difficulty with Smart Mail Boxes, either that or I am not understanding them correctly
So I created a Smart Mail Box so that all the mail which included a particular recipient would go into it, which it does. But I also have the mail in my in-box as well
What I was hoping is that all that particular mail would just go into the smart mail box and not be in the in-box.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Philip

No, you are not doing anything wrong. The original e-mail stays in your inbox until deleted, which will also delete it from the Smart Folder. The Smart Mailbox is a 'sorting' tool,but it doesn't actual contain the e-mails.

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Viewing mail box and number of unread mails for each user

i need to know if there is a ready made portlet to get the number of unread messages from my mail box, and if there is no such portlet , what is the best way to do it and where to start
thank you for your time...

There is a set of portlets for Microsoft Exchange that will be published via the PDK shortly. The set contains a portlet for email, contacts, and schedules.

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...

Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

Did you create backups of your Thunderbird and Firefox profiles prior to the 'refresh'?

Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon Rule Works Strangely

With most applications, when the icon bounces, the bouncing is stopped once the function it was notifying you about has been taken care of. This is not the case with Snow Leopard Mail. When a Rule has been created to 'Bounce Icon in Dock', the icon keeps bouncing, even after the message it was notifying you about has been selected and read. The user must then go back to the icon and click it to stop it from bouncing. It would be much more convenient and intuitive if the icon stopped bouncing after the messages have been read. Does anyone no of a way to configure Mail to do this?

Look at that:

You can use both rules together (sound & bouncing)

Lost Mail Boxes and Smart Boxes

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

How does it happen that I have 127MB of mail and attachments in the usage overview on my iPhone 5 Mail when everything is empty? Nothing is there, complete blank of attachments, drafts, e-mails, sent messages, contacts and so on.

I get unexpectedly logged out from my mail box and and recieve the following message: "The custom error module does not recognize this error."

I am repeatedly and unexpectedly logged-out from my mail box when working on a document. It frequently happens when I choose Send or Save, but it could happen any time. The file that I worked on disappears completely. Before, the file could be found in the draft box or some other place categorized as Auto Recovery. Now, instead, I get the following message: "The custom error module does not recognize this error." I am working at home, connected to a university server. The same problem appears with both of my computers, which are connected by a router. I have a MacBook Pro and am working with Firefox 6.0.2. I have a wireless broadband connection with Internet. AirPort is connected to Lindstrom and has IP address 192.168.0.198. Router: D-Link Model DIR-635. Modem: ZyXEL Model No. 660H D Triple Play Modem.

Hi Phil,
Generally, when a user sends an incoming request to an Exchange 2010 Client Access server using Outlook Web App and the user’s mailbox is on an Exchange 2010 mailbox in a different Active Directory site,
Exchange 2010 determines whether the Client Access server has the
ExternalURL property set in that Active Directory site. If it is and the cross-site silent redirection has been enabled, the user will be automatically redirected to the specified URL.
Thus, please make sure the External URL property is set properly in your environment. And also
disable the WindowsAuthentication for OWA VD to have a try. If the issue persists, please try the following KB to reset the Outlook Web Access-related virtual directories:

Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the ExternalURL is set; otherwise, it wouldn't work at all. 98% of the time everything is fine.
My issue described a problem that appears only during session timeouts. I've pretty much verified that this is the case; Exchange 2010 does not appropriately handle the timeouts sometimes when using cross-site redirection.

Mail.app and rules...

Since upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 I've had random issues with mail.app.
Rules have been an issue since upgrading. Application of rules was more or less OK, except for one set of messages that apparently the new mail.app couldn't/wouldn't filter, even when I deleted the old imported rule and created a new one. :-/
Today I find that mail.app has decided to stop applying all rules. If I select a single message and choose Apply Rules from the Message menu, it gets filtered as desired, except the messages mentioned above which still are not filtered.
Did I forget to buy the special superSecret, available only by special invitation from you know who, iDecoderRing?
Hints? Tips? No, I'm not interested in going to Thunderbird, at least not yet. I use it elsewhere and like it, but...
Thanks,
- John

How many condition entries do you have in the failing rule(s)? How many rules do you have? I have found that if a rule got too big I started seeing inconsistent execution - in this case auto-move of incoming mail based upon sending email address. Don't ask me how big is too big - I didn't capture that info, maybe 25+. I did find that reducing the number of entries within a rule once that rule became problematic did no good. I had to delete the offending rule and add a new (smaller) rule. The inconsistent auto-move behavior I was seeing went away when I had a smaller number of smaller rules.
But now I'm seeing a different rule problem
I have set up four rules to change each mail entry's color based upon its age. Same inconsistent behavior as above - but I can't trace it to running mail.app continuously for days or anything like that. I reboot/restart my MBP at least 1X/day. It appears that the rules engine simply get "lazy" after some unknown time period until it gets woken up by going to Message > Apply Rules. The "lazy" behavior is that it only executes the first active rule rather than all active rules.

Lost outlook express mail boxes and failed transfe...

I have just joined BT from orange (I had a wanadoo email address). I've lost the previous contents of OE mail boxes. Any ideas how I might recover. Also followed the instructions for transferring contacts and got message 'cannot read file' or words to that effect. Help please?

1. If you are lucky your old OE files may still be in the recycle bin on your C: drive so look there first.
I suspect you used the BT disk or similar to setup access to BT and it may have screwed up your existing settings.
If they are there I can tell you how to restore them.
If they are not there look at
c:\documents and settings \{your username on PC}\local settings\Application Data\Identities\{ an identifier}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
where the bits in {} are unique to your machine.
You should find a file for each of your email folders.
Let us know how big the Inbox.dbx file is and any other Inbox.xxx file.
2. Waste of time.
3. I strongly recommend that you use Outlook Express to get your emails from BTYahoo. If you want help here let me know. Note that you can still use OE to get emails from your old provider.

IPad mail boxes and other matters

I have just bought an iPad 2 and want to do two things:
1 Start a new mailbox. I have 'in box' and 'trash', but want to start a variety of new mailboxes to store emails, but have no idea how to do that.
2 I want to keep attachments (i.e. word documents, excel spreadsheets, PDF files etc) in a filing cabinet somewhere in the iPad. Is there a way of doing this or maybe an App I can get?
Anybody know how to do this stuff?
Thanks
Malcolm

1, if it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to create additional folders by logging into your email account on a browser and creating them there - they should then appear in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.
2, you will need a separate app to transfer them to - there is no filing cabinet or file system on the iPad as on computer's, all files/documents etc have to be associated in/with an app. The GoodReader app (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8) supports a number of document types :
GoodReader not only supports massive PDF and TXT files, but also handles the most popular file types:
• MS Office - .doc, .ppt., .xls
• iWork ’08/’09
• HTML and Safari webarchives
• High resolution images
• Even audio and video!
From within the Mail app touching and holding the attachment should bring up an 'open in' option listing the apps that you've got installed that support that file type - thereby allowing you to transfer the file to it.
