[QUOTE="dannyboy22, post: 1951786, member: 312057"] Thanks for the suggestion which I've been trying for a couple of hours. In Library I haven't found a Mail or Safari folder, however, in the User folder and under my name there was another Library folder. In this I could find both Mail and Safari folders. Navigating to the Mail one I could open various folders with files shown in date order but no subject listed so you need to open each in turn to see what the email was. Each folder contained files belonging to just one calendar year, but so far I've only found 2013 and 2022 and no years in between. However of the emails I opened none were ones I would have normally saved (none of the folders I opened showed deleted). In the second Safari folder on the area under Users and my name the files appeared to be relating to the OS with extensions such as plist, shm and wal so I was unable to open these. I think I had naively assumed that in connecting my iMac HD to the Mac laptop I would be able to read the file structure in the same way as if I was viewing them on the iMac! Clearly this is not the case but I'll persevere to find what information I can to upload to the laptop. [/QUOTE]
