Transfer Emails

Ihave an iBook and an iMac, both G3, 500, OS 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11. The modem on the iMac is begining to fail and so I thought that I would download the emails on the laptop and transfer them to the iMac for storage, because my hard drive on my iBook is getting full. Any Suggestions?
John

You can organize your mail in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes however you wish, then import that from the other computer doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format and following the instructions.
Pay attention to the instructions that Mail displays when choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format. In the next step Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported, not the mailboxes themselves. Custom “On My Mac” mailboxes would be located in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username). Hence, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username/Library).

Can't Transfer email from one computer to another

I am trying to transfer email accounts from a 17" Power PC iMac to a 20" Intel iMac. The two computers are connected with a firewire cable. I have archived the mailboxes into the public folder on the 17" iMac and am able to see the 17" public folder from the 20" iMac but they (the mbox files) have a little red minus that looks like a stop sign on top of them. Each one has nothing in it whereas the archived mbox files o the old computer are large files. I gone crazy trying to change all the permissions and I should be able to access everything but can't. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I think you are going about this all wrong. If you simply want to copy the Mail files from one computer to the other then copy the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder's content from the PPC computer to the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder on the Intel computer. Then locate the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file on the PPC computer and copy it to the same location on the Intel computer.
Do not change any permissions, do not archive anything. After you have copied everything you can launch Mail on the Intel computer. It should then have all your mailboxes as well as your email account information.
If you are trying to move all your essential data from the PPC computer to the Intel one, then you may wish to review the following:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
/Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist

Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

Hi,
I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows.
Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010.
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
Base on the research ,
We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
using Outlook.
===========
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
1.Type
regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
2.Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely
Rex Zhang

How do I transfer emails from a non-active superseded inbox to local files.

I have changed servers and cancelled my old server (email service). I want to transfer all my old emails from my old inbox into local folders so I can delete the old account. I have a new account and a new inbox which is working fine. When I try to transfer emails from the old inbox, the software tries to logon to the old server - which no longer works - and won't let me transfer the emails. I can see and read the emails - so they are on my local computer. I don't want to lose all the old emails. I no longer have access to my old server.

Imap emails are kept on the server.
If you synchronized folders for offline use, then it would create an mbox file and keep a copy on your computer. When you connect with server, it updates this file so that the server and your copy are the same.
As the server is no longer accesible, they will have removed all emails, so you do not want to connect to that server as it would wipe all your emails to match the server. So it is good that you cannot connect. It is also fortunate that it did not make a last connection to an empty server. For future reference it would be better to move IMAP mail account emails prior to stopping the account.
It sounds like you synchronized emails, which explains why you can still see emails.
Two options that I can think of:
Go into 'offline mode' and then try to move the emails into Local Folders.
Another option.
Download the addon 'ImportExportTools', then in offline mode, use it to move the emails.

Transfer emails from Outlook to CRM

Hello
Where I can fined document about the capability to transfer emails from Outlook to CRM.
I have heard somthing a bout "one 2 one"??
Thanks
Merav

Hi Merav,
Sure. You can use either Agent Inbox workflow or ERMS workflow to route the email to a specific Org.Unit, so that the agents can view the emails in their Agent Inbox.
For More details about Agent Inbox, please refer to the below link from SAP Help Portal:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/22e6e9ed6c5872e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm]
And regarding ERMS, you can configure a ERMS Rule to Route the incoming email to a Specific Org/Position, based upon some condition.
For More details about ERMS, please refer to the below link from SAP Help Portal:

How to transfer emails from iPad to iPad

Is there any way to transfer emails (not contacts) from an old to a new iPad?
I can forward the old mails but this is time consuming and will also cause duplication
on my old iPad.

It will depend on what type of email account it is. If its IMAP. simply recreating the email account in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts->Add Account should bring them over.
If its a POP account type, then you would need make sure they are still on the server, otherwise resending them is the only option, as they are now only on the old iPad, and there's no way to really bulk extract them.

I cannot write or transfer emails because this message appear: Une erreur est survenue lors de l'envoi du courrier : le serveur de courrier a envoyé un message

I can receive emails. But, when I want to answer, senr or transfer emails, this message appear on the screen:
Une erreur est survenue lors de l'envoi du courrier : le serveur de courrier a envoyé un message d'accueil incorrect : gtavas02.globetrotter.net cmgw ESMTP server temporarily not available: Excess Invalid Recipients.
I am an old fan of Thunderbird. This is the first time I have this problem.

sounds like your SMTP settings are not correct. The server name is certainly odd.

Transfer emails from Outlook on PC to Mac with OS10.4.7?

Can anyone help me with this? I actually have 2 problems here (I'm helping a friend move to Mac from PC).
1. How can I transfer emails from Outlook on a PC (with Windows XP) to a Mac Mini Intel Core Duo running OSX 10.4.7? There are a LOT of mails - one mailbox has over 4,000 emails - but I didn't think that would make a difference. All are POP accounts.
2. I have made one attempt whcih took hours to achioeve then on the last mailbox import Mail, showing in the Mail sidebar all the new mailboxes I'd created with their mails in them, suddenly lost the lot! I can't find any of the mails I've imported anywhere in the computer now, not even in Home> Library> Mail> Mailboxes. Where could they have gone? Renamed? Moved of their own accord? Deleted without asking? Made invisible?
Does Apple Mail have a limit to the number of mailboxes it can handle? Or the number of emails?
Many thanks for any help on this.

Microsoft does not make this process an easy one even when trying to switch from Outlook to another non-Microsoft Windows email client.
I'm not sure how the first import process worked in the first place since the Mail.app import mailbox feature is not compatible with Microsoft's proprietary/closed Outlook message/mailbox storage process.
There is a program called O2M (formally called Outlook2Mac) which can be downloaded and purchased for $10 at this link.

How to transfer emails from Mail onto iphone?

just got my iphone and having fun using it so far.
i am trying to get work out how Mail works on the iphone in terms of how it syncs with Mail on my imac.
i really want to load some old emails from Mail (on my imac) onto the iphone. i tried dragging them from Mail onto the iphone icon in itunes but it won't let me do that.
for example i deleted some emails on the iphone by mistake, yet they are still in my inbox on the imac and wish to transfer them back onto the iphone so i can read thme on the move.
is there a way to do so?

Email account mailboxes and messages are not included in the iTunes sync process and you cannot drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa.
The iPhone's Mail app is no different in this regard from using an email client on your computer.
If you want email account mailboxes and messages to be kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account, not a POP account. Either way there is no option to drag or transfer email from your computer to your iPhone or vice-versa just as it isn't possible to do the same between two email clients on your computer.

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing « client side groupware » with outlook 2007 and experiencing at the same time some issues with the Email inbox functionality.
Description of the problem :
In order to transfer email from u201Coutlooku201D to CRM a folder u201C sap crm email Transferu201D has to be created.
This is automatically done in :
Personalize > groupware integration > set up email transfer
Once the login and password entered Iu2019m able to connect correctly to the CRM .
The issue is that the folder created (SAP CRM Email Transfer) does not display any of the transferred emails. The element counter indicates that there are email present in the folder.
I cannot select a mail and transfer it to the CRM
Iu2019m running:
windows 7
outlook 2007
CRM 7.0
u2022     Collaboration data object 1.2.1 has been installed
u2022     Active X Setting in internet explorer is set to enable : "Initial and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe"
u2022     The services below has been checked and is ok

Iu2019ve already tried to fix it running u201C diagnostics officeu201D and executing u201C Fixmapi.exeu201D without any results.
Has anybody have an idea of how the problem could be solved ?

Hi shobhit,
I've deleted the previous created folder and created it once again but that did not solved the issue.
I can access to the transfer button but cannot transfer the mails as they are not visible.
Here some screen shots, hope this may help to have a precise idea

Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
