How to convert Windows mails to Mac mail

Hi - can anyone help me.
One of my colleagues are changing from Windows to Mac - clever guy i Think But now he will bring All he's Windows mails into MacMail. Now he's asking me if that is possible without buying expensive software. Is it better for him to use Entourage - his company have licence to version 2007 i think.
Hope some of you Can help us - thx

From Windows mail export to eml file (it's the default export format), I believe (it's been a long time) you need to select all mail in windows mail prior to export. Transfer the resultant file to your Mac, open Entourage and save the .eml file(s) to your hard drive Now, select one on the Desktop, and go to File -> Get Info. Under "Open With", change the application to Entourage. Click the button to change all. Now try dragging them into the Entourage window or double-clicking them to open them there. Once in Entourage if you want them in Mac Mail just open Mail and select File-> Import Mailboxes, and select Entourage.

    How to convert received mails 'content type from text/plain to multipart/*?

    you cannot change the content type of a Message object which has been received. What you can do is create an instance of a MimeMessage class and set the content type as multipart and then add the received message as a bodypart to that message.
    You can look at the javamail example codes as to how to create a new MimeMessage with multipart content.

  • How to install windows on a mac

    hi,
    I was wondering if anyone has an easy guide on how to install windows on a mac. I purchased a external hard drive to make it easier but still absolutely no clue on how to do this. At college some software isn't compatible with mac so i need to install windows aswel. Any help would be great as not very good with this at all and bootcam

    An external drive is not necessary. There are several options.
    One is Parallels
    Second is VMware
    Third. Partition the hard drive using Boot Camp
    Boot Camp Assistant is pre installed on your Mac in your Applications > Utilities folder.
    If you use Boot Camp, you will need to purchase a Windows install disc.

  • How to use Windows Mail with Firefox

    I want to use Windows Mail as my default e-mail program when using Firefox to browse the internet and initiate e-mail messages. How can I get Firefox to use Windows Mail? Right now, it is using Thunderbird, which I do not even have installed on my PC, and it is using the web e-mail Address Book and Sent folder on my ISP's web site, rather than being able to reference the Address Book and Sent folder on my PC.
    Thank you!

  • What softwares will convert Windows programs to Mac?

    I hear there are some softwares that can convert a windows-based program to Mac. I just got my new 13" Pro last week and I used to be a windows user. I have a copy of Real Flight G6.5 that I got when it came out. For those who don't know what Real Flight is, its a flight simulator to train people to fly basically any model R.C plane. I really enjoy the simulator and I hate the Windows OS. I find it unreliable and slow. The only thing its really good for is gaming. So my question is, does anyone know any decent software that can/will convert a Windows-based program to Mac format and how is the quality? By the way, my 13" Pro is all standard. 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive space, Intel core i5 with 512MB of dedicated video memory.

    I know a couple guys who are very good with computers, better than me. One is a hacker about my age and the other is an actual computer technician for my old school and they both know of these types of softwares. Now I would like to run windows on a Mac, its not as good as an actual Windows-based PC. So I will actually build my own gaming desktop. Yes its more expensive but I got a Mac so I could use it as a Mac, not another problem for me and my parents. It will cost about the same as a 13" Pro but it will be able to run games better.
    Thanks though!

  • How to Install Windows 7 on mac?

    How can i get Windows 7 installed on my mac?
    Is it pre installed ? can i get it pre installed when i buy a new one ?

    Robin,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    MS Windows must be purchased separately, you can buy it anywhere Windows is sold including Best Buy, Fry's, online stores etc. Next you must decide how you want to install it. Primarily there are 2 ways, Bootcamp or using Parallels or VM Ware Fusion, the differences are:
    Bootcamp is free and comes with Leopard and Snow Leopard. It allows the user to boot their Mac in either MS Windows (XP, Vista and now Win 7) OR OS X but not both simultaneously. In short when you boot you are turning your Mac into a Windows machine. Apple officially supports XP and Vista but doesn't officially support Win 7 installation yet. However many people have done successful Win 7 installations. Look over the Windows on a Mac video here.
    The next way is to us either Parallels or VM Fusion. Both products essentially do the same thing, allow the user to run Windows within OS X. This is productive if you want to move files across platforms or don't like the hassle of rebooting every time you want to change OS's. There are many reviews on Parallels and Fusion (just use Google), read those over and then decide which one you would like. They will cost you roughly $60-$80 and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or most Apple resellers.
    Note: Remember when you install Windows on your Mac the partition it is installed on will be susceptible to all the virus's and other malware any MS Windows machine is so use Windows anti malware and virus software to protect your computer. Any virus's will not affect OS X though.

  • How to use window programs on mac

    im new at using mac and would like to download a program online, that is only compatible with windows.
    what do i need, and how can i get the program to work on my mac?

    windows programs will only run in a windows environment, and Mac applications will only run in a Mac environment.
    To do what you want, you need to install a windows environment on your Mac like parallels;
    http://forums.parallels.com/
    and then install into it, a windows OS like XP, and then you can run your windows program; which seems a lot of trouble to me, but you can do this.
    On the other hand you could just buy a windows laptop, or find an application (that's what Macs call programs) that does the same thing that is written for the Mac.

  • Converting Windows programs for Mac?

    I am considering purchasing a Mac, but have many expensive programs for Windows. I do not want to install Windows on my Mac. Is there a way to convert my Windows-compatible programs for my new mac computer?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    while it is not possible to simply 'covert' a Windows program so that it runs in Mac OSX, you might wanna have a look at Crossover for Mac http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ which lets you run certain Windows programs on a Mac without the need to install Windows.
    Depending on what Windows programs you use this approach is the 'least invasive way'

  • Convert Windows ipod to mac; Can I go back?

    I read the following on Apple's knowledge info.
    "You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
    Now my question is if I convert a windows ipod to a mac ipod and then can I go back later and convert it from a mac ipod back to a pc ipod?
    Has anyone done it successfully? I understand it isn't officially supported.

    If I use my daughter's PC (with iTunes & iPod software) to configure the iPod to be formatted to accept the PC data, I need to "reset" the iPod.
    You mean to restore the iPod. Restore and reset are quite different operations.
    This will erase everything which is no problem as I have all the music on my Mac and can reinstall - or can I?
    Yes, you can.
    When resetting the iPod on the PC does that operation make that PC the "master" and cause the iPod to want to be connected to it for updates of songs?
    After you restore the iPod on the PC, it makes the PC the master.
    Will that cause the iPod to think my Mac is not its "master" computer?
    Yes, it will.
    To use an iPod between these 2 computers and allow the iPod to be readable by both the Mac and the PC, you should restore the iPod using the PC and set the iPod to manual update. Check this: Using iPod with multiple computers

  • Convert windows Apps to Mac

    I use boot camp to run windows on my MBP but it is slightly inconvenient and more importantly I do not like the OS. I will not go into details as it would take a while. I am aware of parallels but as I said I do not like the OS itself. In addition I like to play games some times and that is not supported in parallels (or at least most are not). I have attempted crossover but it does not run some of my high graphics games. I know that large gaming companies are able to convert windows games to OS X format without completely re-writing the game. I am wondering if this is possible for me to do as well (without spending tons of $). If there is another option like crossover I will go for that as well (as long as it is more compatible with most programs). However, an all out converter is the best thing.
    thanks,
    macguy3000
    p.s. I know that this is easy when converting basic c or c++ programs via a mac compiler. I figure that a game could be re-compiled as well just with a much more complex compiler.

    Whatever the options are, they're not likely to be something you can do yourself.
    In order to recompile an application you're going to need the source code. For obvious reasons, most game companies are very protective of their source code and are not going to release it to you just so you can build your own copy. Even if they did (and assuming they're not some open-source gaming company), they'd likely a) charge a lot for it and b) place significant restrictions on what you can do with the code (e.g. non-disclosure agreements, non-compete/distribution agreements, etc.)
    Add to that the fact that high-end games are typically tuned to specific graphics libraries such as DirectX which do not exist on the Mac, so you'd have to rewrite a lot of the graphics code in order to get it to work. That's what the commercial tools such as Cider offer - mostly-autonomous translation of the Windows-specific code into something that will work on the Mac.
    Without the source code, the expertise, the tools, and the time, there isn't going to be anything you can do other than run the program in some kind of emulator or virtual machine (Crossover, Parallels, Fusion, etc.).
    What you describe isn't a trivial tasks - if it were you'd see far more games being released in Mac-based formats that didn't need the VM engines to operate.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How to install windows on 2011 mac mini

    how do I install windows 7 onto mac mini? I have read people say to copy windows onto a flashdrive.  Then install from that.  Question is do I use my iMac to copy windows install DVD to flashdrive, then plug flashdrive into my mac mini and finish install with bootcamp? 

    If you want, instead of using a USB drive with the Windows installer (and as you have Windows in a DVD and not in a ISO file), I recommend you to buy an external optical drive to use it to install Windows on the Mac mini. Any external optical drive will work.
