Mac transfer of emails on outlook
Discussion
Well the MacBook suffered the oft quoted x1600 graphics problem, and I can't see anything on the screen except gooblydegook
So, another Mac will be sourced through the Bay, my query is that I have an old no longer accessible email account on outlook with historical emails I'd like to keep.
How do I transfer this given I can't read the screen on the old MacBook
Thanks

When your new MB arrives, take the drive out of the duff one and plug it in externally.
Or you could get a thunderbolt connector and plug that into a monitor?
Or just use the migration assistant : https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204350Or you could get a thunderbolt connector and plug that into a monitor?
Had this on two of our machines about five years ago.
We managed to "solve" this by extracting the drive, slaving it to another machine and then removing the display drivers, then putting the drive back in.
This did two things:
Could be interesting to do, seeing as you're about to replace it anyway.

This did two things:
- it solved the GPU issues
- it basically disabled the GPU, making the machine un useable for anyting requiring hardware rendering

Thanks, hadn't considered removal of the drive, guess I'll google that shortly, migration assistant, I've not used it before but it needs a working screen on the old MacBook ? Correct?
Thanks
No. You can get the old one into target mode without a working screen and it will run on the new machine quite happily.Thanks
To connect your drive externally, I find it easier to have some sort of sata to usb cable and external power:

Then you just need to open outlook on the new machine and import it.
Then back everything up on another drive
