10.4: A fix for a sent mail import problem in Mail
I have recently upgraded to Tiger. When I upgraded, I foolishly neglected to move my Apple apps back into the Applications main folder (they were in subfolders). Obviously, it did not find any of my mail folders/prefs. So I attempted to overwrite the old mail.app with the new one. Luckily, I had a backup of the Mailboxes folder in Library/Mail. :)
10.4: A fix for a sent mail import problem in Mail
A bump for this question. I actually went back to Panther today because I discovered all the folders and their subfolders did import into Tiger's Mail but they were all empty. Since I have tens of thousands of saved messages this really is a big issue for me. BTW, my Mail.app _did_ stay where Apple put it all along (i.e. in teh Applications folder). Not a clue why this is happening...

You don't actually have to go to all of the trouble of copying the "Sent Messages" to the "Mailboxes" folder.

THANK YOU!
I've been going out of my mind trying to figure out why my mail won't import. I've been getting partial imports of some folders, and went so far as to try importing a backup on another machine that's still running 10.3.9--which worked. By using the method you've described, I am able to import these mailboxes--or so it appears. ^&*O#$%$* Apple for wasting several hours of my time. The good news is that most of the rest of the import (I used the migration wizard and imported to a new HD) went without a hitch this time. Last time I used the migration wizard I didn't get a lot of my prefs. This time the only thing I've noticed so far that I lost was my Sprint bluetooth cellphone internet setup. (Besides the import mishandling my mail.) |
