Great advice. Got the New Mailbox set up on the MBAir and called it "Save from MBP"
Now another question: I want to Export from a Mailbox on the MBP found in On My Mac which contains a mailbox Save which contains several subordinate Mailboxes. These Mailboxes contain messages and in one case several further subordinate Mailboxes which contain messages.
My goal is to export content and structure of the mailbox Save on my MBP to the New Mailbox "Save from MBP"on my MacBook Air discussed above.
I am having trouble performing this export.
I'd start from the bottom-level folders, export each, then work your way up.
It may have changed, but the last time I seemed to not be able to export the structure all in one export.
