I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use. You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. If you have many files, it would be a faster option. You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox. The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data. I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail. I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.īoth units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.Īm I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all? I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).
