Q: How can I use Mail on new SSD, but keep files on old HD?
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (5,5) with a solid state drive (SSD) and want to keep it free from data such as my email data. I installed it in a Data Doubler from Other World Computing so I still have my 500 GB hard drive in the laptop. I want to do the same thing as I do with my music, which I keep on the hard drive.
The new solid state drive is the boot drive, 10.11.6 OS, Mail 9.3.
Is there a way I can set up mail so all my files reside on the hard drive? I used migration assistant, but did not move data files as the 120 GB SSD is too small. The hard drive holds 500 GB. I have not started using Mail on the SSD for fear of losing the old messages. Several of my accounts are POP..
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Thanks.
