After moving from Entourage to Mail - a few questions.

I have just switched over from using Entourage 2008 to Mail, and so far I am happy (especially because of the better stability), but had a few questions about using Mail.app:
- In the list of mail items, how do I (can I?) select the last email in the list? In Entourage, I could press End and it would do that - now End just moves the list down but does not change the selection.
- I use IMAP, and I would like an option to just check the Inbox for new mail, not several seemingly arbitrary sub-folders, which is what happens when I choose Get New Mail for that mailbox.
- Mail.app is not honoring my Manually setting for Check Mail for my IMAP folders - it checks for new messages regardless. How can this be stopped?
- I don't like the relative dates ("Yesterday," "Today" etc) in the message lists - how can these be turned off?
Thanks for any pointers here.

One other question - is there an (elegant) way to set up a send-only email account? I have a forwarding account which I would like to be able to "send from," but I can't/don't receive at.

  • Moving from Entourage to Mail/Address Book

    Hi, I am currently using Entourage 2004 where I have my Mac account and two other email accounts syncing. I was interested in using Apple Mail, Address Book and iCal instead. Is there a way to export my email history within all of the folders and subfolders to Mail from Entourage? Likewise, can I bring in the contacts list and calendar in Entourage to the Address Book and iCal?
    Thanks.

    BDAqua, I have one IMAP and two POP accounts. So as you may know, Entourage splits the two different eMail configs into two separate folder trees. Will Mail, bring in bother folder systems?

  • Moving from Entourage to Mail - basic questions

    Once my shiny new iMac arrives, I intend to stop using Entourage (v.X) for email and switch to Mail.
    I've never used Mail before, so I've got a few basic questions - I hope someone can help!
    1. Is there a limit on how many emails / attachments Mail can hold? Entourage is infamous for unrecoverably crashing if you let its Database get bigger than 2Gb (4Gb with a patch).
    2. How easy is it to archive Mail emails? And how easy is it to then access them for reference, if required?
    3. Can I easily transfer my Entourage address book to Mail?
    Hope someone can help!

    Robin,
    Mail creates a separate account folder for each email account you have. It also has a another folder to hold mailboxes/folders that you use to organize and archive messages away from Inboxes, Sent, etc.
    With each separate mailbox (Inbox, Sent or custom folder) there is no limit on number of messages, but with Mail 2.x (the one in Tiger) the size of each mailbox, including message attachments, must be kept below 2 GB. The only limit on the overall Mail folder, including On My Mac mailboxes, is the space on your hard drive, or boot partition, where your Home folder resides.
    It is not convenient (nor necessary) to archive outside of the Mail folder where all mailboxes/folder reside, although backups can be made for disk failure, etc.
    Open the Address Book application, and you will find under File, the command to Import. For what you can Import, check AB Help, searching on import and Entourage, and you will find Entourage listed as a source -- see also:

  • Mailboxes messed up after importing from Entourage: missing header problem

    After switching from Entourage to Mail I found that many of my mailboxes are messed up. In Entourage these mailboxes work correctly. I already located the problem, but I cannot think of a solution.
    The problem is that Mail uses the info from the mail header (date received and date sent) to determine the order of the messages. Comparing the long headers helped me find out that some messages do not have these headers. Still, Entourage shows correctly when I sent the message.
    When Mail imports these messages, the headers are missing, and the message is given the date of import.
    Is there a way that Mail can use other info than the headers so that the messages are imported correctly?
    Or is there a way to let Entourage copy the sent info into the mail header?
    Or should I think in a totally different way?
    This thread helped me find the problem, but I can't use it for a solution http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5156540&#5156540
    Thanks for your help!

    No, Mail in 10.4 is not crap; it's actually better and more reliable than Mail in 10.5. So here's what I would do, though this will not preserve any folder hierarchy--you'd have to manually do that:
    1. In your Panther Mail program, choose an account, a mailbox (Inbox for this example), and Select All messages in that mailbox.
    2. Choose Save As… and choose Raw Message Source from the dialog window, then choose a destination (your Desktop) and save the file as Inbox.mbox.
    3. After that file is saved, go to your Desktop and create two new folders: one named Inbox and the other named Mailbox.
    4. Put the Inbox.mbox file inside the Mailbox folder, and the Mailbox folder inside the Inbox folder. Copy the nested folder/file to the Tiger machine if necessary so you can access it from Tiger Mail.
    5. Open Tiger Mail, choose File >Import Mailboxes…, select Other from the list of import options, then navigate to the Inbox folder and select Choose. The file Inbox.mbox should appear in the window; click Continue and wait for the import to finish. You can then move the Inbox messages out of the Import folder to wherever you like in Tiger Mail.
    6. Rinse and repeat for your other mailboxes, changing the names of nested folders/files as necessary.

  • Just moved my email from entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly. When adding in a small company logo, windows computers only receive signature as an attachment. Am sending email as Rich Text. Any ideas on a fix

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

  • After Importing from Entourage( Help Please!!!!!)

    Hi All
    I have imported all my data from Entourage to Mail. Everything works great and all good. But I don't understand why some of the email are shown in red ( subject and from). Only the subject and from are in red color, but the body of the mail is in black. I thought maybe because they are not in my address book. However some of other emails which is not in my address book also shown in black. only few of them are in red. I really want to know the reason as it really bothers me.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Nobody answered because of the usual reasons:
    1) Nobody knows the answer.
    2) A person who may know the answer hasn't seen your post.

  • Importing from Entourage to Mail Question

    Hi,
    I'd like to import from entourage to mail, however I'd like to select a cutoff date of the emails coming in. In other words, instead of 10 years of email, I just want to take the past two or three.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how easily to achieve this end result?
    Thanks

    I haven't got a direct answer for you but I had similar experiences which may help you. I found the Mail import to be pretty ineffective and unable to cope with large mailboxes.
    I started with Entourage and actually moved to Thunderbird when earlier versions of Mail were not really very good. TBird imported Entourage emails fine - about three years of emails.
    With SL and Mail 4, I was looking for a way to import all my TBird emails - now 7 years with as the import into Mail was still flawed and also it had a bad habit of recovering EVERY email ever received, including all the spam. So I found "Eudora mailbox importer" which perfectly moved all my TBird mail straight into Mail with no fuss.
    So if you get stuck, its Entourage to TBird to Mail !

  • Migrating from Entourage to Mail

    I want to move my E-Mail from Entourage to Mail. I'm using a new MacBook Pro with 10.6.1and wondered if there were any tips I need before I start the process.
    I'm intending to use the "File/Import Mailboxes" function in Mail
    Also - I have a lot of subfolders which will also need transferring to Mail and am a little scared of messing up the process and losing important messages.
    Any advice before I make the transfer will be gratefully received.
    Thanks

    I had nothing but problems with it.
    I got a roughly 15 GB mail database (roughly 100.000 messages) which I am trying to import from Entourage to Mail using 10.6.1. None of my folders with more than roughly 2500 - 3000 messages in them could have been taken over. None of them. When the import reaches somewhere more than 2000 messages in the actual folder, the import stops and just results all the rest of the folders left empty.

  • Switched from Entourage to Mail- # of messages shows but no messages!

    I thought I successfully imported all the mail from Entourage into Mail but next to the folder is the number of messages but nothing shows up. For instance it says there are 622 Deleted messages but none show up. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks for any help!!! Judy

    Fixed it! Duh! Just needed to restart and they were all there. Answered my own topic. Judy

  • Switching from Entourage to Mail: use Entourage Groups?

    I'm attempting to switch from Entourage to Mail and Address Book (not least because of the attractions of smart folders, etc), but I can't figure out how or if I will be able to send occasional email mailshots to large groups of people.
    I run an occasional newsletter in email format. Because the list is very large, it wouldn't make sense to set up individual vCards for each individual email address on the list, and yet that seems to be the only way to email all the members of a group using Mail and Address Book.
    With Entourage, on the other hand (and I would dearly love to wave goodbye to it in all other respects) I could set up a Group exactly as I would set up an individual contact, then copy the entire list to it, and could even add occasional new email addresses whenever I liked or delete others as they opted to leave the group.
    Am I missing something in Mail / Address Book, or will I have to cut and paste into the To: box my entire long list each time I need to send a mailshot? (And doing that would involve using a word processor or text editor in order to manage the list, which is adding yet another programme to what should be a pretty simple task...)
    Many thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

    Yes. Importing your mail from Entourage does not affect the Entourage database.

    After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
    Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.
