Use emails and adress book from a different user

I bought a new Imac and start using it.
Then when I tryed to restore the back up that I have on my other macbook, that I did on Time Machine, it went to a different user.
Now I have 2 users.
There are 2 apps that I can not use with me new user (Things and Email-direct) and can not acess mail and adress book from the other.
I have already install everything on my new account. What should I do to use the email and adress from my different user account?

No problem except for a minor nuisance when it's time to update the apps. Depending on how you do it, you might need to log out and back in again but, in any case, you must have both passwords.
The iTunes library can hold purchases made with multiple Apple IDs as can the iPod.

How do I transfer my emails and address book from Outlook Express 6....

...on my PC to Mail on my new IMac?
Thanks in advance,

Inigo,
Many thanks for this. This was very useful and a good starting point. I'm a very recently converted and proud new owner of one of the 20", 2GHz Intel Core Duo Imacs, and am in the process of converting all of my important files and data over from my home PC to my Mac.
So far all has gone well; sorting out my ITunes and Digital Photos was easy as pie, as was my documents, however my last hurdle to overcome is trying to transfer my emails from MS Outlook on my Home PC to my Mac Mail. I have tried your Thunderbird suggestion which seems to have me on the right track, but the outcome was that only 1 of the 130 emails in my Outlook Inbox were imported. I've also tried using installing Eudora on my Home PC and importing all my Outlook email to that, however each time I try that Eudora ends up crashing leaving me back at square one.
I will keep searching this discussion forum for other ideas, but in the meantime if you have any other helpful suggestion I'd be grateful!
Cheers,
Matt (aka: Mac&Me)
Apple Imac, 20", 2GHz, Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5) It rocks!

Migrate existing email and address book from Entourage to OSX Mail?

I have a corrupted version of Entourage and it was suggested I go to Mail. I was also told migration from Entourage was a 'snap'....where do I get detailed steps (what manual) to do this migration? I want to move existing mail, (inbox, sent mail,etc)and my address book.
If it's in fact a 'snap' maybe the instructions can be included in any repsonses I might receive...??
Thx for any help you might offer!

If your Entourage database is corrupt and not fully accessible or accessible at all by Entourage or you are unable to launch the Entourage application, this won't be a snap but the Mail application includes an import mailbox function with Entourage listed as the first email client to choose from. This process does not import Entourage account setup information, only Entourage mailboxes.
At Mail's menu bar, go to File and select Import Mailboxes.
Under "Import Data From", select Microsoft Entourage and then the Continue button.
You will see a connecting to Microsoft Entourage message while the Entourage application launches which is required as part of the import process.
A window will be provided with a list of available Entourage mailboxes to import with all available mailboxes selected by default.
Select Continue and an Import named folder will be created in the mailboxes drawer with all imported mailboxes available within.
For Entourage address book contacts you can do this a number of ways. One way - create a folder on the Desktop named Entourage Contacts or whatever you prefer.
Highlight/select all Entourage address book contacts and then click on and drag the highlighted contacts to the folder created on the Desktop. This will create a separate vCard file for each Entourage contact within this folder.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to/within the folder on the Desktop that contains the vCard files exported from the Entourage address book.

How do I import my email and address book from Netscape mail 7.1?

I've been using Netscape Mail 7.1 since it first came out, but I'm moving to the Apple Mac world and need to keep my old emails. I've been told by the Apple Genius Bar people that I could do this with Thunderbird.

In the absence of anything to the contrary I will assume a US version http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.20/win32/en-US/
Thunderbird 3.1 is linked. stable and has the necessary bits.

Installed Thunderbird on New drive but can't transfer emails and address books drom old drive to new PC.

I have a computer I built that my dad who uses Thunderbird for his email. We had to remove the C: drive, which was a SSD drive because it was running out of space and replaced it with a Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 500GB drive. I am not familiar with Thunderbird and did not export his emails or address book before I switched the drives. I have set his new Thunderbird account to keep the mails on the server and not the PC. How can I get the old emails and address books from the old hard drive. I did copy the Thunderbird folder from the C: drive and the folder on the E: drive that Thunderbird was installed to. I have read many forums on how to move emails and address books to or from Thunderbird but non are like my situation. Hoe can retrieve the emails and address books from the previous install and transfer them over to the new PC once I have done a reinstall?

first the old drive... the location varied between windows versions but it is either in Application data or appdata. In vista and above open the roaming folder. Both are hidden folders so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows. Within that you will find a Thunderbird folder.
The sub folders of that are the profiles, but simply copying the Thunderbird folder over it's like in the appdata\roaming of Vista and above will replace the existing with the old.
Copy the actual profile in the folder called profile XXXX.default xxxx being a random string will place two profiles on the hard disk which can be opened individually using the profile manager. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
Finally individual folders of mail can be moved using the import export tools. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ You just need to locate the data. Folders are a file with no extension and another with the same name and an MSF extension. They are in sub folders of mail in the profile.
Address books. see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profiles

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

HT4864 Do I need to use Outlook as my email programme instead of Outlook Express if I want to use The Cloud to sync between PC and iPad? Can I transfer my contacts, emails and diary appontments from Outlook Express to Outlook?

Do I need to use Outlook as my email programme instead of Outlook Express if I want to use The Cloud to sync between PC and iPad? Can I transfer my existing contacts, emails and diary appointments from Outlook Express to Outlook? What is cheapest way to aquire Outlook?

iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so. Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

WISH TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS 98PC TO NEW IMAC.

HOW TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS PC 98 TO IMAC .

For addresses, general answer is to use Export function in your PC program and export in .csv (comma separated value) format. Then open Address Book app on new iMac and choose Import from File menu and locate the file you exported (on USB stick, or by email, for example). Should work! You've heard that before, right?

ICal and Adress Book sync brings back deleted stuff

Hi everyone,
I hope this wasn't posted yet, in any case I couldn't find it, so sorry for any double posts.
I use my iPhone as my primary work device and perform all changes of Calendar and Contact data on it. When I sync it with my desktop Mac (PowerMac G4 that I use as backup device for pretty much everything) all the old contact details and calendar events that I deleted from the iPhone are synced back to it from the desktop Mac. I exclusively sync via iTunes.
So what I want would be a one-way sync from my iPhone to the desktop Mac so iCal and Adress Book there are just as up to date as on the iPhone. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks, Allan.
I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
Best,
Martin

Mail and Adress Book no worky. :(

So I pulled Mail and Adress book out of my sidebar thingy and when I recently went to try and use them again, the application doesn't work. I don't want to restore my harddrive as I have over 50 gigs on this thing and don't want to lose them but I really want to make use of the mail program.
Is there any way to make the application work? I don't even have the little icon, it's just the generic application icon thing. o-o;
I'm also a new macowner so I may not understand everything. x3; Sorry.

Hi folks,
I'm really frustrated with icloud on my pc. I did and tried so much already but nothing will make icloud even import my calendar and the adress book to Outlook 2007.
When I activate email in the icloud control panel it imports my "@me" account to Outlook - superb!
When I activate calendar it executes some tasks and tells me that calendar in Outlook is now configured - but when I open up Outlook nothing is there...
same with adress book.
I haven't used MobileMe so I don't know how it has worked before. I don't get any error messages so - shouldn't it work?
One thing that i find odd: in the Outlook options I can not change the default data file to the according "@me" file. Is that normal?
Any help will be appreciated!
Peace out.
In Outlook, look in iCloud folders not Personal folders.

How to take off email and website subscription from 2006 iMac to sell?

I have a desktop Imac that I bought in 2006 and would now like to sell. I also bought a laptop in 2007 that I prefer using. How do I remove the email and website subscription from the desktop model without messing up the laptop info? They seem to be connected at this point and I am not sure how to take off the information from one without damaging the other.

Have you solved this problem? If not, can you be more specific? You can change the email account information using Email preferences. Which website subscription would you like to remove?
