Message: <blockquote data-quote="Straitsfan" data-source="post: 1301864" data-attributes="member: 47577">I have an iMac and a MBPro.  I access my gmail account from both of them, and sometimes I'll download any messages I have to one or the other machine through Mail.I know about importing mailboxes from one machine to another, but thing with that approach is that the imported mailboxes, if I remember correctly, are in a folder called 'import', but they have the same names as the boxes already on the machine.  Both machines have boxes with the same names, it's how I want it so I don't lose track of anything; that way I can update any mailboxes on one machine and just, at least in theory, transfer them over the the other machine.Once I tried simply copying my mailboxes through a regular copy and paste, but when that happened, I couldn't read some of the messages that I know were on the machine via the mail program.  I don't quite understand it.  The computer asked me if I wanted to update the mailboxes, and I said yes, so I thought that when I opened up Apple Mail I could read the messages in the updated mailboxes.  What I want to ask is, is there a way to update my mailboxes without having to import, because if I do that then what I'll have are an older and newer copy of the same mailbox, when what I want to do is simply update the older mailboxes with the newer messages so I can read them through Apple Mail, rather than have to take them out of the import folder and manually put them into the sidebar of Apple Mail, which is what I have to do.  Can anyone give me some tips?</blockquote>
