[QUOTE="LeslieT, post: 1092404, member: 167636"] First, I moved all the MA transferred mailboxes from yesterday into the right place. I followed your advice and re-established the email account on the iMac. Voila, email. The icon is back in the Dock. Only one mailbox was not transferred and I need some of those emails. I went back to the Mini, where I copied the emails I needed out of that particular box into five other mailboxes which I'd moved via MA yesterday. I then copied these mailboxes to the flash drive, moved it to the iMac, and tried to paste them into the right Mailbox on the iMac. I got the message that they were replacing the transferred mailboxes as intended. But, when I opened Mail, the emails were not there. Sigh. I can't find them anywhere else either. I've no idea how to make this work. It's obvious that the Migration Assistant is the way to move email as copying/pasting doesn't seem to work, but I only need to move five mailboxes. I didn't see any option to move selected items - which might work to move my address book and all the other items that didn't migrate as expected. Any further suggestions? LeslieT [/QUOTE]
