Copy mail and email accounts to another Mac

Hello

I want to copy my emails with all the email accounts of my iMac to my MacBook Pro. On both computers is the most recent El Capitan installed (10.11.4).

The files/folders that I need to copy?

Migrationsassistent is not a solution.

Thank you!

Hi ebussinetz,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

I see you are eager to copy emails from one Mac to another.  At that time, the easiest way for you to achieve this is to simply add your e-mail accounts to the other computer.  The majority of e-mail providers use IMAP for the storage needs of e-mail, which maintains the emails on the server itself, rather than the POP that downloads the messages to your computer.

Set up Mail

When you open Mail, you are prompted to configure your e-mail account if you have not already.

Select your email provider from the list. If you do not see your email provider, click "add another mail account." Then click on continue.

Mail request your name, email address and password by e-mail. Fill out this information, then click on create.

E-mail complete your account settings based on the email address you provide and in OS X Yosemite or later, Mail automatically manages them.

  • If Mail does not recognize your email provider, it may ask you additional parameters.
  • If you need to add more than one e-mail account, start with your main account. Then use Internet accounts to add other accounts.

Use the mail on your Mac.

Take care.

  • Need to import contacts and messages saved from a Windows Mail email account to another

    Recently changed ISPS but currently have two active accounts.  I would like to import/transfer saved messages and folders, and all contacts from the old account to the new account before the cancellation of the old account.  Both are configured through Windows mail.

    In Windows Mail, messages, folders, and contacts are not related to any specific email account, so remove your old account won't affect.  To check that, I just removed all my Windows Mail accounts on a Windows Vista-based computer that I use for testing.  Messages, folders, and contacts are always there.

    To be safe, you could back up the Windows Mail storage folder before deleting an account.

    Windows Live Mail works differently and requires copy/move messages before deleting an account. Boulder computer Maven

  • Copy music and more from iPhone to mac, rather than the reverse?

    Using a PC, I finally have my iPhone music and everything set up exactly like I want. I was hoping synchronization and backup, and everything with my Macbook instead of the PC, but I can't seem to do without erasing my iPhone. My Mac iTunes library is virtually empty, so I was wondering if there was some sort of implement for phone orders is copied on it, and not vice versa.

    A mobile device is designed to allow only limited copying of media from the device to a computer (only iTunes Store purchases).  You need to transfer your library to the Mac, or else he will always want to erase from your phone.

    Page 6 of Apple, exhaustively meticulous instructions step by step: how to move your iTunes library to a new computer - https://support.apple.com/HT204318 it is convenient if you think that all your materials are not in the standard location.

    My resume in a sentence if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder (open a different iTunes library file or create a new one - https://support.apple.com/HT201596).

    When it comes to a new car/computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look it there.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

    Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

    -Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple

  • How can I copy layers (and keep) / content in another InDesign document?

    I am updating an old InDesign file. And realized that I need to get the old stuff som.

    I am able to copy the old document layers in the new?
    When I'm working on I just got all the merged layers - I have to divide a new

    Is there a solution for this?

    Thank you

    JB

    But on all layers at least one element.

    Activate the layer panel menu "Layers don't forget to stick."

    Copy of the old document

    Paste it into the new document

    Beware, if a layer with the same name are all elements of this layer will be glued to this layer, missing layers will be added at the top.

    You must take care that the layer has the same order as in the old document, otherwise things could be stripped.

  • Windows mail and runs under Vista, recently started asking passwords for e-mail accounts, I had defined for the years

    I have several e-mail accounts defined in Windows Mail (WM). In 2008, I created these accounts and WM has never had any problems email from their recovery. A few days earlier, a "Windows Security" pop-up appeared asking me to "Please verify that the user name and the password are correct for your mail server." I enter the user name and password and let the box 'Remember my references' checked. WM then recovers successfully by e-mail of this provider. I repeat this process to enter email ID and their password for each e-mail and WM account gets successfully mail from them all. Subsequent recoveries automatic email (that occur every 20 minutes as specified via 'Tools', 'Options' and ' check for new messages every xx minute (s) ' in the 'Général' tab) run without problem until I restart WM. So I must return all identifiers and passwords.
    I deleted the entry for one of the accounts, WM restarted and then recreated the account. Once more, it works fine until I restart WM, date on which the impulse begins again. It seems that WM has lost the ability to remember the ID and password between sessions.
    Comments for similar problems indicate that McAfee antivirus can be the cause of the problem. I use BitDefender Antivirus. I don't see how my AV product could be the problem because once I re - enter usernames and passwords, everything works fine.

    Thank you Gary, but I don't know why BitDefender or any other product of anti-virus (AV) would be a problem. As I said, once I entered the login details and passwords, I am able to send and receive mail several times without the prompt that appears until I restart Windows Mail (WM). I speculate here but I feel that the AV product would have not had invoked until there was the mail for her to analyze. This would not happen until AFTER WM was authenticated by the mail server, and then began to receive mail. The authentication command prompt was certainly appear BEFORE WM tried to contact different mail servers. I know this because I could see send/receive the WM status window, where it shows each email account and compares it to the coast after a successful login.

    In any case, when I started this morning at WM, it worked well! The only thing I can think of that would have fixed this problem as if by magic is that I applied the following Vista hotfixes yesterday:

    • Windows malicious software removal tool - January 2011 (KB890830)
    • Update security for Windows Vista (KB2419640)
    • Update security for Windows Vista (KB2478935)
    • Update definition for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.95.3662.0)
    Then I did the required reboot. I'm skeptical that these corrections have a direct effect on this problem because when I started at WM after the restart, he asked once more the ID and passwords. I did nothing with the AV product
    The key here is that WM works very well this morning in the same environment as yesterday, except for the above mentioned fixes. I consider this problem in the past, but I do NOT know what caused his in the first place or what fixed it.
    Thank you all for your help!

  • I receive email spam from my yahoo email account contacts. Am I at risk of being hacked too?

    I get spam from my gmail contacts 2. One grandson, with a yahoo email account. Another, ' name sent on ", on account of yahoo from a friend of the family. There is no topic and no content in these emails, just a link to click on. I clicked on the first link sent my grandson. The first time, my search engine, Mozilla Firefox, would not lead the link. So 6 or so, he led to a site advertising Viagra. Quickly, I broke the link. I have not clicked on the link in his second e-mail "not applicable". But I sent him a separate email, asking him why he was sending these. Then today I received another one of those spam e-mails from the friend of the family (which had not sent us more than 2 years) and was immediately suspicious.

    It is obvious to me now that these two people have had their email accounts hijacked. Am I at risk of also taken hostage? My only security is Microsoft Security Essentials. It will be enough? Or I have to download Malwarebytes and perform a scan in safe mode, etc. ?

    Thank you for any answers you can provide.

    All of a sudden, my records for all 3 e-mail accounts, SMS messages and display only incoming emails for one of my 3 email accounts.

    The icons are stove display how many new messages is in each e-mail and SMS accounts. However, when you click them they go on the account of an email that clearly "took over" the other email account and SMS folders,
