[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1656474, member: 46727"] I want to point out that I disagree with chas regarding the speed of transfer using Time Machine vs by ethernet cable. I have found the Time Machine (even USB 2) method to be faster and it also will transfer everything including your mail and mail boxes. As you found out, the Migration Assistant is not a guaranty that everything will transfer over properly. Do you have a recent Time Machine backup of your old iMac? If you do, you can manually recover all your mail and its folders and mailboxes. [/QUOTE]
