1 ) Enter in user library ( click on finder take cursor on top menu bar > Go then Hold option key and click on library ) > select mail and right click on copy mail and then right click on empty desktop and click on paste item , the V5 folder will be saved on the desktop .


( 2 ) Open mail application and take cursor on top menu bar > file > import mail boxes > import data > select apple mail > click on continue > select desktop > click on continue > the data will start importing and the bar will start loading and let it be completed .


( 3 ) Go to system preferences > internet accounts > select the web mail account and click on minus sign it will be deleted .


( 4 ) You can see the mail data is transferred in the bottom mail side bar but everything is empty there are no mails in sent , inbox or archive they all are empty but a folder " import " is visible click on drop down arrows of each folders .


( 5 ) And if you plan to switch from yahoo to google or even change the internet servicer provider the folder " import " is still saved in the empty mail application .


( 6 ) When you configure the mail account by taking cursor on top menu bar > click on add account > choose a mail provider and select the box and click on continue > add new web mail address > click on next > and type the password > and click on done you will be joined to the new server say yahoo ( that is still empty for your mail account as you recently joined this new server and no data is saved on their server , but still the mail folder " import " is in the mail application .

You can scatter the mails in the desired mail boxes .


Note : While performing this step you will notice the fans will start running and the system will heat up but this a normal as the the data is transferred it will take time to stop the fans and system will cool down .
