[QUOTE="hindpool mac, post: 1656390, member: 350231"] [b]Successful transfer, thank you! - but missing emails[/b] Despite having briefly broken the port-to-port Ethernet connection between my 2008 24-in iMac and the new Retina model the transfer continued without having to be restarted, much to my surprise, and the new machine has been in service for a couple of days. The migration took a long time - more than 18 hours - but it was a relief to boot up the new machine and start using it in earnest. I am happy to reiterate my thanks for this excellent forum and particularly the sound and clear advice from Chas_m. There is something else that is puzzling me: my Mail folders and messages cannot be found. A friend advised me to look in the user's Library/Mail folder but no such folder can be found on my 2008 Mac nor the new machine. I have pored over various books but could not find advice leading to a solution. Any suggestions on how to proceed will be most welcome. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
