Why I can't I import mbx into Mail?

I am trying to transfer a colleague's e-mails from her old PC (running Windows Mail under Vista) to Apple Mail 6.6 on her MacBook Pro (running OS8.5).
There are a lot of nested folders of email within her existing mail programme.
Using a free utility, I have successfully exported all the emails on the PC, and converted the .eml files to .mbx files, maintaining the file structure, and copied them to the Mac. It should now be simple enough to import the mbx files into Apple Mail.
The import works after a fashion, but it adds an extra level of folders within the file structure, putting each e-mail in its own sub folder within Mail.
E.g. Instead of seeing IMPORT/INBOX/AnEmail
I see IMPORT/INBOX/773p6CA1-00---1/AnEmail
This makes it impossible to search the imported emails, so they become pretty useless.
I also tried converting the emails to emlx, and then using the 'Import from Apple Mail' option, but the same thing happens.
HOW CAN I STOP THIS HAPPENING? (It's driving me a bit mad.)
thanks!

Iphone does not save to the SIM card.
If you have another SIM card that has contacts on it, then use the direction in the manual under settings to import them into the iphone:
Import contacts from a SIM: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM
Contacts.
The contact information on the SIM is imported to iPhone. If you have Contacts
enabled for both MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange, you’re prompted to choose which
account you want to add the SIM contacts to."

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

It is working for me. Two ways to import into an existing project:
Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings from "new Project" to the selected project.
Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

Can't import mailboxes into Mail

I am trying to import my mailboxes into Mail from my time machine backup but it doesn't work. The backup is from 10.5 and I am now on 10.7. I can't access the old computer I only have time machine. I would also like to import my Address Book contacts. Any tips? Thanks

Restore the mailboxes to a different location, such as the Desktop, and import them into Mail (File > Import Mailboxes...) I haven't tried this myself and I don't know for sure that it will work.

Why I can't continue add photos into my iPod ???

I don't know why I can't continue add photos into my iPod. For example, I already had some photos in my iPod and I can see the folder that contains all the photos in my iPod with a mark on it. But one think that I don't know is when I want to add more photos into my iPod, iTune will sync my iPod for a very long moment and there's no processing indication, it's like there was a message 'Syncing iPod' that show in the top of the iTune screen, but there was no 'processing bar' under it. I don't know why this happen. Do I have to erase all the photos that were currently in my iPod and the iPod Photo Cache located in My Photos to re-upload the new photos into my iPod? But in this situation, I couldn't leave the 'old photos'in my iPod. I just want to make a hudge photos library, COULD ANY GENIUS HELP ME ?

i don't know if this will help but this is how i manage my photos:
1. create a folder (mine is called 'ipod photos')
2. put all the photos you want on your ipod in that folder
3. open itunes, plug in your ipod.
4. on the overview screen, click the photos tab
5. check the, 'sync photos from' box.
6. browse to the folder you want to sync with
7. hit sync
then when i want to add new photos, i just add them to that folder and hit sync again.

Is it possible to import messages into Mail that are in .csv format?

Just in case my previous topic subject was preventing some folks from checking this out, I'lll try to ask my question in a more generic way.
I have an archive of a mailbox from another email program that I'm trying to move over to Apple Mail. My archive is saved as a .csv file. I can open the file in either Numbers, Excel, or TextEdit, and I can see that all the info is there. However, I want to be able to import these into Mail so that I can integrate these old messages with my other emails. I would want to be able to search for these messages using Mail's search tools and be able to identify messages based on who they're from, the subject line, date received, etc.
Specifically, this archive was exported out of Earthlink Total Access. My only options out of Earthlink were to export out as either .csv or a proprietary .dat file. I'm trying to figure out how to get the .csv file into Mail. I tried going through Entourage, but Entourage only imports contacts from a .csv file and not messages. I found a Unix utility that coverts a .csv to an mbox file (which Entourage would be able to import), but I'm not sure how to get it to work (I'm not that swift with Unix).
http://membled.com/work/apps/outlooktext_tombox/
Any brilliant ideas?

I too am trying to transfer Total Access messages into Mail and have stumbled at every attempt to use other software, such as Entourage and OE, as intermediaries. I would love to hear if you get any response to this question. I was able to transfer all the addresses, but not the messages.

How can I receive RSS feeds into MAIL?

Why I can't sync/import my contacts from SIM card to iphone?

Can't import mbox into Mail

Hi,
I thought I had backed up my mail when I was upgrading to a new computer.
I did this by copying the files from Username/Library/Mail/V2/
When I try to import the mbox files by either using the "Import Mailboxes" from Apple Mail or Files in mbox format it gives me the error message "No valid mbox files were found."
I can see all of the folders, emails and attachments in the mbox files when I browse them in the Finder so I know the files are there but I can't seem to get these mbox files to import into Mail.
Does anyone know what's going on with my mbox files or if I didn't grab the right files?
I'd really like to get these emails back into Mail.
Thanks.
Demetre

In case someone also has this problem, I seemed to have figured it out.
I had my backed up files in a folder on the desktop.
If you try importing by selecting the mbox directly it says it is not a valid mbox file.
But, if you choose the Desktop it ended up working without any problems and recognizing the mbox files.

You need to calculate the value of MoveXto after the application is
created, here I use the creationComplete handler as an example (and I
changed stage to this), but you might also consider using the
applicationComplete handler if you do want a non null stage value.

Imported once into mail, can't do it again...

I recently used o2m (http://www.littlemachines.com/) to export all of my Outlook mailboxes from a pc to .mbox files. I turned to this software after having afew problems exporting other files. They all imported just fine into mail. I went back and grabbed a few more, and now when I import, everything seems to go OK, but after it is done, the program says that the files are "in the folder named 'Import-2' in the mailboxes list" but the folder is not there. anyone else seen this?

RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but you must select RTF for message composition and then select a font via the Font panel when composing a message.
If you are referring to an HTML composer/editor to insert HTML code with embedded images and/or objects, you can do so with an HTML composer of choice (Text Edit can be used for this). Save the completed document and open the saved document with Safari. After confirming the layout and rendering is OK, at the menu bar go to File and select Mail Contents of This Page. This can be done with any website page selected and the rendered HTML document will be copied to a new Mail.app message which will be sent in its entirety.
Sounds cumbersome but if sending a complex HTML composed message is not something you need to do on a regular basis, it isn't so bad and you can create an HTML template for the Mail.app to be reused when needed.

How can I avoid importing video into Lightroom CC?

Hi all,
I am using Lightroom CC on my iMac to catalogue my photos, a task I really find Lightroom perfect for.
However, I am also using my DSLR for shooting video´s, which I edit with Final Cut Pro. Lightroom is _not_ a part of the video import/editing workflow, so I really do not want to have Lightroom import all videos in addition to all my photos.
My question is:
How can I set up Lightroom so that it no longer import videos?
My current workflow is tedious, and really not one I like: I import everything into Lightroom, and then manually delete all the video´s.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Lr isn't particularly good at separating out individual files types within the import window. However, some of the third party plugins usually provide the sort of filtering you require. Unfortunately, I can't recall exactly which ones do, but you could try this one from Rob Cole as a starter http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/ or http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/OttomanicImporterLrPlugin/

Can't access import file in mail

i recently lost my hard drive and after recovering everything from time machine, i can't get at old email in the import folder in mail. it shows almost 3000 messages in it, but the folder is not highlighted and i can't get into it.
any thoughts anyone???
thanks.....jay

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Import trouble into Mail and Entourage

Hi All,
Just swtiched to Mac from a PC and I am trying hard to get my Outlook files from my PC imported into Entourage. I've been using the system where your first import the Outlook files into Netscape 7.2, transfer the folder to the Mac, and then important into Mail (eventually into Entourage).
Here's the issue: When I do the import into Mail from the Netscape export, only ONE e-mail shows up in each of my imported folders (some should have thousands of messages). I've tried several times and I can't figure out what is wrong...nor can I seem to find any evidence of anyone else having this problem.
I checked the Netscape export files and they are very large on my big e-mail folders, so I know the data is there.
Please help...I will be very grateful for any assistance!
Warmly,
Dave Stachowiak

Hi Dave.
I don’t know whether it would matter, but I’d use Thunderbird instead of Netscape as the intermediate mail client.
Also (and this does matter), you’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards, but instead of rebuilding them one by one, you can re-create the entire index as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Importing mailboxes into Mail from Entourage only partially works.

I am trying to import all my Entourage mailboxes into Mail.
[The background of this is that I want to upgrade to Lion, but my version of Office won't work in Lion and I don't want to pay for a new version, so I'm going to abandon Entourage and use Mail].
The process appears to work properly; there is no error message and Mail tells me that the mailboxes have been imported into a folder called Import.
However when I look at the Mail mailbozes, all teh messages are not there. The import has worked up to a point and then just stopped. By this I mean all the actual mailboxes (and sub mailboxes) are in place, tbut only the first 50% or so of the messages are there. (Admitedly, there are a large number of mesages in my mailboxes and the import has worked through them logically by alpahbetical order of mailboxes.)
I've also tried dragging the missing message across manually, but this doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Well there are some suggested solutions on here if you search for them. Hoever, I eventually worked around it by just importing a section of my old email at a time. A bit tedious, but it worked.
