3.6.1.3   Importing Conversations From Apple Mail

When importing mail from Apple Mail, if you have View ‣ Organize by Conversation checked, Mail behaves differently depending on whether you have Use classic layout checked in the Viewing settings.

• With the classic layout, if you select a message with a blue triangle and the triangle is collapsed, EagleFiler captures all the messages in the conversation from the selected mailbox(es). If the triangle is expanded, EagleFiler captures only the messages that are selected in the message list, even though more messages may be displayed in the message viewer.
• With the widescreen layout, if you select a message with a triangle, EagleFiler captures all the messages in the conversation from the selected mailbox(es), regardless of whether the triangle is expanded. (As with the classic layout, you can select individual messages indented below the triangle if you only want to capture those.)

To import both sides of a conversation, Command-click in the mailbox list to select the Sent mailbox as well as the mailbox containing the received messages. Then Mail’s conversation view will show both types of messages in the list. You may also find it helpful to use a smart mailbox to display related messages from different mailboxes, and then capture from the smart mailbox.

Importing an entire mailbox is much simpler. You can always use Edit ‣ Select All to select all the messages, regardless of whether Mail is in conversation mode or which triangles are expanded.
