Transferring emails between identites

[John Wolf]

I have some old emails that I'd like transferred from one identity to the
other. I cannot forward the emails since the old identities email account no
longer exists, however the emails are all saved in that one identity. I do
not want ALL the emails transferred, just a select few.

How can this be done? Thanks..

You could drag them to the desktop to export them as EML files, then
drag them back to your Inbox on the other identity.

That may work. Thanks!

John,

The issue you'll experience with exporting as EML files is that on
import of those EML files, you'll find the original timestamps of the
emails (date sent/received) will have been reset/lost. To retains
these timestamps, you may want to export as RGE files. Here's an
example of how to do so - "How To Archive Entourage 2008 Mail using
Multiple Identities" - http://blog.gingergeek.com/2009/06/how-to-archive-entourage-2008-mail-using-multiple-identities/

Hope this helps,
Lee

This is incorrect. Only received time is altered. The sent time is never
changed. Simply sort by sent instead of received.
