Greetings;
I just picked up a used 2012 iMac and this time I want to be very selective on what to transfer over from the old iMac to the new.
First off I am running Yosemite on both iMacs.
In the past I have always copied all my emails account over to the newest mac I was using by copying over the mail.plst in the library folder and something in the prefs folder which brought everthing over.
Now I just want one old email account. Can I just do a export? Will that take all my sent and received emails on that one pop account? copt it onto a flash drive and import from the new iMac.
I have not even launced the mail app on the new iMac.
My other account is gmail and I think it is Imap so I should just be able to log on from the new iMac and it should download?? I hope.
More questions later.
TIA
Matthew
