Im not a fan of the migration tool!

In my experience, when moving from a machine that has been in use for 5-ish years, 60 percent of what the tool migrates you dont need anyway..... This is just my opinion. I dont like stale stuff.

Merging two mac mail accounts I dont think can be done. I usually recommend just initializimg the new mail program (by launching it once) then overwriting the following key folders/file:
/library/app support/addressbook
/library/mail
/library/preferences/com/apple.mail.plist

As previuosly mentioned, this will OVERWRITE anything you have already downloaded or set up in the new mac mail app.

Sorry I cant offer a better solution. Hopefully you started recently with the new machine and there are just a few emails to forward yourself or addresses to re-create!

Did you ever get an answer to this?
I am no expert, but, easiest method for a complete transfer to a new computer is using the Migration tool. This transfers everything, user accounts, settings, etc. .

And .... by the time the "weird stuff and the bugs" are taken care of, a newer version will appear or be just on the horizon!

And .... I'd rather see a non-computer "issue" discussed than none at all but that might not be the majority opinion!    Karen 

Me, I'm not spending the money until the weird stuff, bugs, etc, flush thru the system to start with, etc. And then I have to get my wife to agree. Oh, well, it was fun to think about...

Getting a little bored are we? Hasn't someone got a nice mysterious error message or odd crash to post and get help with (hopefully)?

;-)

That said, there is a certain giddiness that comes from anticipation after ordering, isn't there? Me, I'm not spending the money until the weird stuff, bugs, etc, flush thru the system to start with, etc. And then I have to get my wife to agree. Oh, well, it was fun to think about...

I think it will go from China to the US first . You will be able to track it.

For people who have ordered before, what is the route my new ipad will take from the UPS hub in KY, to N. Calif. ?

My hope and guess would be to Mather Air Base out side of sacramento.

Also when will it start to move. ? Has a delivery date of 3-16 by the end of the day.

Thanks

Alex
