I recently bought an iMac and attempted to migrate my data from a G4 tower without success. Most of my data I therefore transferred via cd's, which is now almost complete.
I have a problem extracting the email addresses from Mail and am uncertain as to how to get all of my email addresses which are still buried in the G4 somewhere ?

Are these addresses stored in your address book application or just recent email addressees?

The migration assistant didn't work for you?

When I bought my iMac in August, I, too, had enormous difficulties with the migration assistant. I'm trying to remember the details (I've blessedly blocked them...), but it seems to me that the migration assistant migrated over my old hard drive (the one that came with the machine) instead of the larger one I'd installed a few years ago and had been using ever since. So hey -- if I'd wanted to go back to 2004 or so, I'd have been in good shape. Someone suggested that the drives were in the wrong spot; spent a day or so swapping things back and forth to no avail. Apple was no help.
What I ended up doing was cloning the drive to an external and then somehow (and I don't remember this part) using my laptop and the external with the migration assistant. It worked like a charm! But it took me about 36 hours to get there...
