look for home (username) / library / mail
there are the mail boxes
after moving/copying you should do a rebuilt (mailbox / rebuilt) to
make sure the emails appear on screen
you can force a rebuilt in removing the library / mail / Envelope
Index file which is the content list of your mail
just be aware it can be a multi gigabyte operation & you may have to
copy the mail downloads folder aswell

Hello Wamugians
I would like your assistance with an imminent problem. I have a
Macbook Pro which is my main computer and a Macbook Air which is my
travelling computer. I have Mail set up on the Pro. Next week I
am going to Holland for 20 weeks & will be taking the Air. While I
can manage my emails somewhat using webmail to access & delete, I
could quite likely still have about 3000 emails to download when I
return (going on what happened after a two week trip last year).
In that instance, the download fried Eudora, which I was using
then, and corrupted a whole lot of my saved emails, merging many
together. I don't want this to happen this time.
What I am thinking is to copy all the relevant Mail folders across
to the Air before I go and then do the reverse when I return. Can
someone please let me know which folders I do need to move as
opposed to all Mail folders, or how to find that info myself? I
have done a search under Finder just now but it only turned up the
Mail app and a million other files, none of which seem to be from
Mail.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers, Alex
