AOL Desktop (PC) to AOL Desktop for Mac - Transferring Saved Emails

I just installed AOL Desktop for Mac and I'm trying to transfer my emails. There's no issue setting up the accounts and accessing my emails Saved on AOL, but I cannot access my emails Saved on my PC. The software doesn't have any feature to transfer these locally saved emails from PC to MAC.
The suggested solution is to forward all my saved emails to myself and save them on AOL. Then they'd be accessible on the mac. But I have thousands of emails so this isn't feasible.
Does anyone know how I might go about transfering my saved emails from AOL Desktop to AOL Desktop for Mac?
Thank you

Greetings Papahemi;
I too had the same problem. Here is the solution.
Go to System Preferences and select General.
Near the bottom of the window, deselect (uncheck) "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps."
Launch AOL Desktop, you'll still see the untitled windows. No problem. Now quit AOL and relaunch. No more untitled windows.
Hope this helps.

I have problems interfacing Outlook 2011 for Mac with my email provider Cable and Wireless Guernsey. Any ideas? Done everything C&W suggest

OK I just transitioned to MacMail, iCal, and Mac address book. Goodbye Outlook, It was great for 18 years and painful for the last year. Microsoft is losing share with subpar software development.

Outlook 2011 for MAC marks IMAP emails as READ soon after they are received, even though I didnt read them

I have a 2 gmail accounts configured as IMAP on outlook.
Each time I receive an email on these accounts, it will appear as UNREAD for a short while, then, after a couple of syncs, it will turn to READ, even if I do not read it, hover over it, click on it, etc...
I thought that could be a sync problem with my iphone (the same accounts are also configured as IMAP on my iphone) so I switched off the iphone. Same problem
I thought that could be a sync problem with the web interface of gmail so I logged off my accounts on my firefox web browser and exited the browser. Same problem.
I have no other device that connects to my gmail accounts neither in pop nor IMAP.
I have a third email account configured on outlook as pop, and this one works perfectly.
I made sure that Preferences > Reading > "mark mail as read only when opened in a separate window" ... is clicked...
I have also rebuilt my identity, which didn't solve the issue...
The problem happens on outlook for mac 2011 version 14.3.5 and 14.3.6 (just updated outlook to that version).
I am on MAC OS 10.6.8
This has been happening since I decided to use IMAP for my gmail accounts (I was using pop before).
It is very annoying as I regularly miss time critical emails.
Anyone who can point me to a solution or a work around will have my eternal gratitude!!
THanks

I have already changed the default in the preview pane...
Preferences > Reading > "mark mail as read only when opened in a separate window" ... is clicked...
It is something different... maybe a bug...
I hope someone comes up with a workaround! Or at least some other threads that would help me see through... I've been stuck on this for weeks

Outlook 2011 for Mac: Lost all emails

Hello,
I installed Microsoft 2011 for Mac two months ago and I was quite happy with that. Ok, I must say that Outlook often pops up with "Outlook 2011 has encountered a problem and needs to close". This is annoying, but when Outlook is re-opened all runs smoothly. I understand this is a problem with Microsoft, rather than with Mac, so I live with the idea.
The problem here is that when I have opened my Outlook this morning, to my great surprise, I have found out that all my emails have disappeared: nothing in my Inbox, no folders, no Archive, no contacts, no task list, no accounts set... Nothing! Outlook appears as if it is the first time it is used.
As far as I recall, I didn't do anything weird yesterday before shutting down. Luckily, I have a backup dated 17th July (no Archive folders, though), so I have lost just 2 weeks of emails (I'm currently importing that) but still, I would like to know what has happened to my emails and why.
Anyone can help, please?
Thank you for your consideration and for your help.

Outlook 2011 for Mac + Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand

Hi,
Thanks for all of the responses - I have now done these suggested settings which has downloaded all of the separate inbox folders but I am still having a couple of errors:
1: If I delete an email on outlook 2011 it doesn't actually delete it from my email account
Are you 100% sure the account is now IMAP?
2: I am unable to send any emails I get an SMTP error?
Have you ticked the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' box in the outgoing server section.
3: I still have to click send/receive to receive any emails
This is for Outlook 2010 on Windows, but there will be something similar on your version. Go to File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive where you should be able to set the parameters required.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Cannot open documents originally in Word 2008 for Mac and saved in Pages 09

I have both Word 2008 for Mac and IWork 09. Working on long and complicated documents in Word, I had a number of problems with Word so that I decided to switch to Pages. I copied my documents into Pages, and saved them in Pages. Now, when I want to open them in Pages, I get a message that Pages cannot open those documents.The message says: the "file" couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.
Again: original Word document, properly saved into Pages. the saved Pages file cannot be opened in Pages.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks.

Outlook for Mac. All emails go to trash.

Thank you.
I have just configured my company emails to Outlook for Mac on my MacBookPro. It worked well, but as of last Thursday, all of my incoming emails will go first to inbox and then immediately go to trash. They are shown unopened in trash.
Now, I have two accounts going to OutLook. My hotmail account is going there with no issues.
Thanks,
Randall

For the second problem, as long as the email is left on the server, all other devices and webmail will download the messages with they retrieve mail. The only way to stop that is to set each device or application to delete the message from the server once read, moved from the inbox, or immediately after downloading. You can do this on some or all devices.
Example: you can set your iPhone to leave the messages on the server if you want to download them later on your computer and you can set your computer to delete the message when downloaded on it so you won't have to view them on the iPhone later. However, if your iPhone is always on and it downloads email before you download it to the computer, it will still be on your iPhone.
These settings can be done in Mail>Preferences under the Accounts Tab and advanced Tab. How you set each device depends on how you want to keep mail. Most people want to save a copy forever. If so, you need to make sure they stay on the server until they are downloaded on the device you want to keep them on. If you don't need to keep messages, then set each device to delete from the server once downloaded.
If you have an IMAP account, then things get a bit different on everything. I should have asked that first.
On you original problem, when using so many devices, things get confusing when using so many devices to access the same things. Especially with IMAP. Settings on one can change the behavior on other devices. Does the problem of your messages going to the trash happen only when you read it on the MacBook first, or is it random even when you first view it on the Mac Pro. And, if it's in the trash on the Mac Pro, is it in the trash on the iPad also?

Desktop Software Version 2.4 for Mac

I'm ready to lose my mind, I'm trying to back up my contacts and it never lets me finish, It says my bundle needs to upgraded but I can't find where to do that either. Verizon is sending me a new phone and I want to be able to back-up and restore and I can't. I can't even import my photos. Can someone help me before I go crazy lol

Just in case some of you fancy to get an idea of this kinetic thing, if you download the Photo Browser from OVI store you can see it because it works like that
or indeed the scrolling in the ovi store, that's kinetic too.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

Lync 2011 for Mac not saving conversation history on outlook 2011

I have MS Office 2011 on my MAC. I have noticed the conversation history is saved on the MS Lync History folder on the MAC. However the outlook mailbox folder called " conversation history " is not updated with this info. Any idea what could
be happening ?
OS : 10.9.5
Lync : 14.0.9
Outlook : 14.4.4
MS Exchange server 2013.

Hi,
For Office 2011 on MAC, the Conversation History isn’t stored in Outlook.
The conversation history is stored in the path: /Users/<username>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History

Long delay for add-in saving emails with Cached Exchange Mode off for one user's Exchange account

Hello,
Before I start, I have asked questions in the Outlook Developer forum and was referred here as it appears to be an Exchange Server problem that I am experiencing, not related to Outlook or the add-in that I am developing.
I am an Outlook developer with an Outlook add-in that adds MAPI properties to emails and then calls MailItem.Save to save the changes.
The add-in uses the Internet Message ID MAPI property for some functionality, so I have to turn turn Cached Exchange Mode off to ensure that my functionality works correctly for the Sent Items folder (otherwise no Message ID property exists).
This process works fine for 99% of users.
I have one particular user that has a huge delay (~1 minute) when MailItem.Save is called for items in his account. He is using an Exchange account. If I switch Cached Exchange Mode on there is no longer a delay (as no communication with Exchange Server). The
user does not have an excessively large Mailbox.
The problem is not caused by the network or communication path to the server as the problem exists on any computer where other users are ok.
I'm sure the problem is not caused by my add-in, but likely a problem with the user's Exchange account. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may be able to resolve the delay and what might be causing it?
Thanks
Glen Thomas

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

OneNote for Mac - Backup Solutions Needed

Upon installing Microsoft OneNote for Mac, the software client automatically saves all OneNote files in the cloud with OneDrive. Is anyone aware of how one might save a backup of these files to a local or alternative cloud location (e.g. iCloud or Google Drive) for safekeeping? As it stands now, OneDrive will not allow a user to copy the OneNote files to another location, nor will it allow a user to move the files to a non-OneDrive location. Additionally, there is no option available on the client to export within the native file format (or export at all, frankly).
The best backup method as of this moment is to email yourself each and every note created in OneNote. In addition to being tedious, it wholly lacks in anything resembling security for the note contents.
Left as is, the only copy of all content created and saved in OneNote for Mac is saved on OneDrive. It goes down, all content is lost for all intents and purposes.
If someone has figured out a way to overcome this issue (other than moving to another software solution or using Windows), I'd really like to know.
Thanks!

I have the exact same question. I have had files mysteriously disappear from onenote before and stopped using it for a while. I use it for a lab notebook, so this is EXTREMELY important for me.
