Hi all,
I have some mail located in some "on my Mac" folders on Catalina Apple Mail backup disk.
I would like to import these into another High Sierra Mac - apple mail "on my Mac".
I have access to the raw Catalina library mail folder :
Mail>v7>xxxxxxx>legacy1.mbox
Mail>v7>xxxxxxx>legacy2.mbox
etc.
Curious the best way to import these into High Sierra?
Apple Mail > File > Import mailbox ?
or Just Drag them in or something else ?
Thanks

Also when I do Import mailbox - it asks if apple mail or mbox ... even though these are mbox's I guess I should choose Apple Mail?
well when I tried import as apple mail - they came in with many sub directory trees - not the best for me...
Maybe I will try as import mbox...
When I try as import mbox - I choose the folder.mbox - but it says no valid mboxes was found
Hmmm?
BDAqua - YES - THAT DID IT - THANKS!!!!
I chose the parent folder above what I wanted - then selected the actual folders I wanted and this DID import everything correctly!!!
GREAT SUGGESTION!
Thanks dave
One silly thing about Import is that you have to choose the folder above what you want to import, then wait for it to give you the choices to import.
Great news my friend... take care! :)
YES I will and you also!
