[QUOTE="tom_p, post: 1061185, member: 160225"] I was just helping someone out yesterday who purchased a new macbook pro. He had mail on his older macbook and wanted all of his mailboxes transferred to his new macbook. Note he did not want the account settings just the local mailboxes. He had started up a new account on the new one. Anyway, he had about 20 mailboxes on his old one and I simply copied them from the /Users/username/Library/Mailboxes/ folder on the old one to the new macbook pro. I opened up Mail on the new Mac and there were all of his mailboxes I had just transferred over. I get a call from him today saying that while the boxes are there, there is no mail inside the boxes. He checked the sizes of the mailboxes in the Library/Mai/Mailboxes and they were correct - some over 2GB. Is there something I missed or did wrong? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
