I moved to "Mail" after a long fight. I'm now extremely happy with
it, now I've got it customised.
Importing messages (I found) has to be done with just one or two
folders at a time. If you try to import too many messages at once,
Mail simply chokes. So take your time and be patient.
OK, I'm finally where the rubber meets the road on this topic, so I'm
finally paying attention.
My wife has an old iMac G3 running OS 9.0 and using Emailer, but
today I ordered her a new Intel iMac running OS X, and of course it
won't have a Classic mode. We will be wanting to get her old files
over to the new computer, and we are told that the easiest way is to
boot the old computer in target mode, attach a firewire cable to both
computers, see that the old computer appears as a hard drive on the
new one, and then simply drag the files over. Is that correct? Does
anyone have any advice or cautions?
And then what about converting Emailer files to Mail? Martin's post
quoted above seems to indicate that Mail can convert the files
itself, but then many of you seem to advocate Emailchemy. Which way
should I go? I'm perfectly willing to spend the modest sum for
Emailchemy if it actually makes the task a lot easier.
BTW, I've been happy with Mail on my iMac G4 now that I'm used to it,
so I'm presuming that she will be too, especially since I'll be able
to help her get started with it.
Should I just drag the entire CE folder to the new computer, and then
do the conversion?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, and I promise I'll be
listening this time.
