I want to transfer all my emails, folders and preferences settings (including accounts settings) from my iMac to my Powerbook.
What folders and files I have to transfer?
I'm using Snow Leopard in both computers.
iMac Intel based 2.4GHz 20",
Mac OS X (10.6.2),
4 GB RAM
To back up your messages, back up the folder at the path in Templeton Peck's post.
For your Mail settings, go to your home folder/Library/Preferences, and back up
com.apple.mail.plist
That's all you need, just that one folder and that one file. Copy them both to the same locations on your other Mac, and Mail should come right up with everything.
Hi, I lost the
com.apple.mail.plist doing some cleaning and now I can't see my email messages or accounts, I created one new but for some reason it won't show me the emails, I know that everything is there
/Users/yourusername/Library/Mail but how can I configure the accounts so I get the emails back?
