Apple mail is using my outlook database

Hi: I'm just setting up a new Macbook running 10.5 and Apple Mail 7.3. This is a work computer and it has Microsoft Outlook for Mac 14.4.5 installed. When I type an e-mail address in mail, the autocompletes that are provided are all the e-mail addresses from my Outlook Address Book. I've tried this solution http://www.marco.org/2011/09/10/adding-to-apple-mail-autocomplete to try to establish my old auto-complete file, but Mail isn't recognizing that file. It's still accessing auto-completes from the Outlook database of work contacts. Any suggestions?

Remove the account and put it back again, use Internet Accounts (in System Preferences) to do this.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Use following steps to import apple mail to outlook:
Choose Mailbox->Export Mailbox, or choose Export Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the exported mailbox.
Outlook for Mac: Choose File->Import Mailboxes. Select the mail application you want to import messages from.
If it does not work then you should use third party apple mail to pst applications. You can easily search in Google about these applications.

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

Copying Apple mail pop3 account to Outlook 2003

Hello,

Operating system Mac os X 10.4.9
Model: iMAC G5

Hello UK_STRANGER.
Selected messages can be exported in standard mbox format doing File > Save As in Mail and choosing Raw Message Source from the Format popup menu. Standard mbox files can be imported into most mail clients. In particular, they can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format.

How to convert Apple Mail data to Window Outlook?

I am lookin for an absolte solution for Apple Mail to Windows Outlook Conversion.

The only way that I am aware of is to purchase and download either Microsofts version of Office or Outlook Stand alone for Mac. Or if you prefer you can download Open Office that is FREE and is Oen Source and has all the features of Microsoft's
http://www.openoffice.us.com/openoffice/free-open-office-download-yahoo.php?pk=8 45397
To just pay for Outlook is a little steep for most users. I think you will find using a WEB Based e-Mail will work much better for you like GMail or YahooMail rather than having it on your machine use there servers and they have many more features.

How to export Apple Mail local folders to Outlook 2011

I just got Microsoft Outlook 2011 and need to import the (many) emails I have in local Apple Mail folders. What's the right way? I can't seem to drag the folders to the desktop (the way I can in Entourage 2008), and when I "archive" a folder, it makes a file (within a folder) that Outlook doesn't recognize as a valid MBOX file for import. What's the right way?
thanks,
Mike

After reading that, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
I know; I don't like to depend on a Microsoft product but Entourage's way of keeping everything in a single Database file, which gets corrupted all the time (and corrupted worse when it is allowed to "Repair" it!) is making me nuts. I thought at least Outlook keeps everything separately. I don't like Mail (because I hate iCal and I like the way Entourage's calendar works together with its mail), and I don't know of an open-source client that handles Exchange server. I'm kind of stuck - maybe I'll stay with Entourage and let Mail keep my old Mail archives (I need to store everything for searching, and currently have about 20 Gigs of email). If there are any alternatives, I'd love to hear them.

Apple Mail Repeatedly Using Wrong Outgoing SMTP Server

Hi
SInce upgrading to Mavericks my Apple Mail is extremely confused. It is trying to send emails using SMTP servers to other accounts.
For example, one of my Gmail accounts will send using a outgoing server from my university email. The sender name works out correctly, but it is tedious to sort through finding which outgoing server will work and provide the right user name.
My me mail keeps asking which outgoing server to use.
Is there a one and done solution to this? I'm already trying to get used to Outlook and Thunderbird, but frankly did used to like Mail.

I solved this with the following steps:
Change the "Outgoing Mail Server" to "None"
Compose a new email
Click the send button
A window will come up that allows you to select the outgoing mail server (this is the same window that appeared when Mail was originally having connection issues to the mail server)
Select the outgoing server you want to use (in my case, my company's exchange server) and send the email
You should now find that the "Outgoing Mail Server" has been set back to the one it should be, and all your mail is actually being sent via this server.

Apple Mail Font Issues with Outlook

Have apple fixed this issue with fonts changing and appearing differntly when you send emails to users on Microsoft Outlook. Most of the forums have message posts from 2011 but 2 years on you would think the issue would be fixed.
I have a whole team of computer illiterate staff and can't expect them to change the font format everytime they send an email. It looks so unprofessional sending emails out like this - next step is to switch to outlook for mac - any good feedback on this, I've heard if you have high volume emails working through gmail imap accounts that it just crashes all the time?
Any help or plugins would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Kurt,
Thank you for your response. I am fully aware of what you have just said, and I do follow this basic protocol. The 'gripe' is that it seems that when we setup our message font in preferences one is under the impression this is the font that will be sent out. I later discovered this is only my screen font, and when we compose an email this font (for instance Arial 12pt) is not tagged in the outgoing message. In-fact it is left blank, and the receivers mail will change it to a default such as times new roman. However this seems to create strange changes on the receivers end and sometimes the font can come out huge or varying, there is no consistency and the email looks ugly, As a business owner, my email is my letter head, and is a communicational face of my business.
The issue could be easily resolved with an option for an Apple Mail user to set up what font they want their out going message to be in and for Apple Mail to actually tag that font in the message. Without the 'user' having to each time manually choose this font.
I always use Arial 12pt for my out going message, but it's frustrating that I have to each time select my text and change the font and point size, (which means my screen message font has to be another font and size otherwise apple mail does not pick up the change). What I, and from what I can see many people, don't understand is most Mail Software (if not all), except Apple mail, don’t have this issue. And if I used a different mail app I can choose my out going font such as Arial 12pt, and the receiver will see the same font (obviously providing it's a websafe font), and I don't need to keep telling the programme to make it Arial every-time I compose a new message. This would save time.
I know that this ‘gripe’ is not only myself, and that there is a large number of people out there also annoyed by this, and many Apple uses choose not to use Apple mail simply because of this reason. Which is a shame, because Apple mail in my opinion is the best mail app out there.
I don't expect the programme to be perfect, but this is basic user experience and basic functionality, so why can't Apple correct it? All the amazing features in the world are worthless if the basics ‘user experience’ is not friendly.
I really really hope Apple does something about it, or at least develop a plugin that we can download to sort it out for those of us who want to use mail as I have described.
Attachment Tamer has sorted out the whole compatibility and friendliness of attachments, and I can set up how I want my attachments to work, I do it once and don't have to think about it again. I did have to pay for this function. But I should not have had to. this is not a feature I should have had to plugin, it should come standard with Mail, every other mail software does, so it is a user expectation... And the same goes for how we set up our fonts, in Rich Text, I should only need to set it up once and not think of it again, a general out going font should be a standard function.
As I said, I do ‘put up with it’ mostly because I’m an Apple fan, and In general hugely happy with the Apple products. But should someone have to ‘put up’ with something like this, when it is something so small that should really have been sorted out years ago in the early versions of Mail?
Sorry Kurt, I'm not really moaning at you directly, it's just that its a frustrating non-feature that I can see Apple is not even taking into consideration, and probably will never look at sort out. Why, is the question?

E-mail addresses used in Outlook messages automatically copied to my iPhone contacts

Hi,
All the e-mail addresses I use in my daily use of Outlook/Exchange e-mail get automatically copied into my iPhone's contact list. I have never entered any of these e-mails as "contacts" - but the e-mail addresses get copied anyway.
I read some threads here - and followed one suggestion, to no avail. The suggestion was to, in my iPhone, go into Settings > Mail Contacts Calendars > My E-Mail Account > Turn off "Contacts". This didn't work. It merely removed all the legitimately synched contacts.
Help!
Tom

I had the same problem. And yes they did go into my Contacts. They were shown as new contacts with the contact name being the email address I had used. The number of cards showing in contacts increased by over 100. I am familiar with the previous recipients list in Mail and this was not the issue.
I found that the problem was related to the fact that I was using Exchange. I went into System Preferences, selected Internet Accounts, selected Exchange and unticked the Contacts box. Result - the additional email addresses disappeared from my Contacts.
Hope that helps.

Apple Mail is using Wrong default Email

Apple Mail is now displaying the wrong default email address in my inbox and I have my correct business email selected as my default. I can't figure out how to correct it or why it is happening. For example the mail in this inbox is sent to my petersonsales.net email, but it is displaying as if sent to an alternate address used for ministry:
It appears my ID is set to my company, and I'm not sure I did this either... just things are a little wonky with Yosemite...

I don't think you understand... The outgoing servers are set correctly, and even the ID appears correct when you click on the incoming mail name, but it is appearing as a different email address in the list TO field. See attached
