am about to transfer my mail onto a NEW powerbook G4 :-) so i
thought I would 'archive', 'compress', 'store', 'retire' my current
mailbox. Try feeding that into help and you get F... A.. Help. I am
aware that all I need to do is ask the ever helpful gurus on the
net and the answer will be forth coming in the click of a mouse
button. But seriously folks why does Mail help point me in the
right direction?
BTW how do I archive old mail?
Mac
All your mail files are kept inside ~/Library/Mail (the 'tilde' (~)
character refers to your Home Folder, so start there). You can
archive this entire folder in whichever way you see fit.
BTW - why are you not using the wonderful migration assistant built
into Tiger? It takes all the worry out of transferring old data to a
new Mac.
