Using POP mail works well for the way my wife and I share an e-mail
account on separate Macs at home. I am using Apple Mail in OS X 10.6.8
Snow Leopard on an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. In preparing for a
vacation trip, I attempted to move my e-mail holdings from the iMac to
an iBook G4 1.33 GHz (2005) running the latest version of OS X 10.5
Leopard.
With an Ethernet connection, the methods that I attempted failed,
including "Import" at the iBook from Apple Mail, "Import" at the iBook
from "Files in mbox format," and simply copying the Mail folder from
the iMac's user Library.
Is there a way to do this? Something like ChronoSync perhaps? Thanks,
In each release, Apple has made changes in the way their Mail app
stores data. So I would not expect the older Mail app to be able to
talk to the data from the newer Mail app.
Not sure if manually changing the folder structure would be enough.
I'm thinking Mail probably made changes to the individual file
contents too.
If you changed both to use IMAP, perhaps that would let you keep
things in sync - at least for newer messages.
