Hello,

I hope someone here can help me.

Doe to a couple of annoying reasons I have created a new account on my mac (OS X 10.2.8).

I need to transfer all my old messages from Mail to the new Mail in my new account.

I have selected all the messages, then Saved As in Raw Message Format. But when I try to import them in to the Mail in the new account, the import process won't see the saved Mailbox file.

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong, or even understand what I am trying to explain .

Many thanks in advance,

Matthew

You don't need to convert them at all actually, just place your old .mbox files in the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder and they should show up fine under your new account...
