Attachments problems with eudora mailbox imported to apple mail.

greetings,
i am considering moving from eudora to apple mail. i've done a test of importing one of the eudora mailboxes and am having a problem with the attachments.
the attachments to the messages in the eudora mailbox appear to be recognized by the apple mailtool. however, apple will not display the attachments. my test is with a mailbox i keep messages from a friend who travels a lot and sends me jpegs of his trips. the import gave no error messages.
after the import, i can see all the message are in the new mailbox. i can open them fine. however, when viewing messages in apple mail that had attachments, mail shows the message and also shows a list of the pics attached, but it doesn't display the jpgs.
"This message has the following attachments:
.../Library/Mail/Attachments/xxx.jpg, etc..."
i can go to the attachment directory and find the jpegs there. they open fine in preview... but there seems to be no way to view or double click the filename to open it.
i've searched the local help and this forum and haven't found this thread yet...
does anyone have any experience with importing email with attachments?
is there some setting i need to change in mail to display the attachments or open them?
i appreciate any suggestions or pointers to the solution if somewhere on web...

ok, i think i found something that fixes this problem...
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner
i found it on: http://www.hawkwings.net/plugins.htm
this software seems to bypass apple's "import" and does it's own method of getting the mail files into apple's mailtool... in addition to allowing apple's mail to display the attachments (jpgs, pdfs, etc) this also looks like it preserved the message status... the read messages are marked "read" instead of "unread" also...
i wonder if there is a way to transfer them back, if i decide to go back to eudora after trying apple's mail... my next quest... i will be very flexible to try apple's mail if it is not a 1 way journey, since i'm looking for some solutions in apple's mail... thanks for reading-

Problem with Eudora Mailbox Cleaner

My first Mac, started with Thunderbird so I could migrate from crashed PC. Now trying to migrate to Mail with Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, but can't get it to work at all. When I drag the profile folder to the Cleaner icon, I get the "forbidden sign" (circle with slash). Am I missing something?
Thanks for any advice
Richard

Good idea, I emailed Andreas and here is his reply:
the application works just fine with 10.6.x (I guess I should update the website to reflect this…). The problem you are seeing is a bug/feature in 10.6.x which prevents items being dropped onto an application residing on a disk image. To work around this, drag the application from the disk image onto your Desktop (which will create a local copy of the application) and then drag your profile folder onto the application located on the Desktop.
Worked perfectly! Thanks

Problem with large email imports to Mac Mail

So I am trying to transfer a large archive of emails (probably about 50k emails in total, in folders of 1-10k or so each) from Thunderbird to Mail, and it hasn't been easy. It's terribly slow, so I've started to do individual mailbox transfers one by one.
The problem I'm having is that once large mailboxes are transferred over, Mail crunches many of the messages in those mailboxes into a single thread. For instance, one folder with a total of 5k messages appears after importing as a folder with 2500 or so individual messages, and 2300 messages all glued together as a single thread. That's not ideal, but what's worse is that this same thread seems to not be getting stitched together with messages arriving in my inbox, generating complete confusion. I tried just deleting this monster thread in order to just selectively import some messages using my IMAP server, but the thread actually won't delete at all (it disappears briefly, then reappears once I navigate back to that mailbox).
Really want to use Mail, but finding this process quite frustrating.
I'm working from a new iMac with Yosemite, Mail 8.0.

Hi, not certain what the problem is & not on 10.10 right now, but check Mail's menu, something like View & look for something like not display as threaded.

There is a problem with your mailboxes. Try clicking Quit-

"There is a problem with your mailboxes." "Try clicking Quit and then opening Mail again. If this message reappears, click Quit and Rebuild index. The next time you open Mail, it will import your messages."
This error has become more frequent every day as I use Mail. Luckily, I found through another thread in this Help Discussion Forum that the Avast Security App for Mac has a hard time with large mailboxes in the Mail.app:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9477497&#9477497
The solution appears to be as simple as un-checking "Mail Support" in the Avast "Preferences…" and the issue will be resolved.

There is a problem with your mailboxes!

I keep receiving this message when I attempt to open mail:
"There is a problem with your mailboxes.
Try clicking Quit and opening mail again. If this message reappears, click Quit and Rebuild Index. The next time
you open Mail it will import your messages."
I have tried doing this and it gives me the same message each time and I can not access Mail. I am traveling and do not have any disks with me. I need to restore Mail or find away to fix the problem. I do have a Time Machine backup with me and I am not sure if I can restore the Mail application from a day before it went bad.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

You are absolutely right! I should go and buy myself a PC and then start that up when I am frustrated with Apple products :-) My point was only that Apple products seem to have taken a turn for the worse recently, but they have definitely still not sunk to the level of a common PC :-)
That said - I have another frustrating problem which you might be able to help me with? I know this is probably not the correct place to post it, but I would very much like to hear if you have a solution:
I attempted to open up my iphoto yesterday and discovered that the recent update has managed to make (almost) all of my photos disappear. I panicked for a few minutes because I have not done a backup since my Time Capsule broke down about 9 months ago, but then I found them in another user profile on my imac, so I know that the photos are still there - just not showing up when I open iphoto in my default profile. I received some sort of message along the lines of: "you cannot view photos with this version of iphoto" and then I had to "upgade" or "quit". I chose the first option and... presto!... I only had 20 photos in iphoto - instead of 8000.
Do you have any idea what I can do to bring all of my photos back? Someone suggested that I should download the 9.1 version from the Apple website, but I haven't tried that yet. Sorry for troubling you with another issue - unrelated to the originial post - but judging by my recent experience, you are the best apple-problem-solver available on the internet :-)

Apple guarantees their work, take it back.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

I am having problems with small text size on AOL mail, and am using the latest version of Firefox.

I am having problems with text size when using AOL Mail. I am using version 25.0 of Firefox. I did not have this problem in the past, but I suspect a change occurred with one of the Firefox upgrades. I do not have the same problem when using Internet Explorer.

Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
* Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
* View menu > Zoom > Reset
You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
Any luck?

Bizaar problem with IMAP mailbox

I thought i knew a fair amount.
I have 3-4 IMAP email providers.
The problem exists with only 1 of them.
The problem exists on only 1 machine - my old laptop is fine.
In my INBOX, no messages show up after Nov 29th. However, many f them showed up as they arrived - then vanished ( in "show by date" view)
It gets weirder. If i search for one of the missing messages, say by sender or subject, it shows up.
I have rebuilt the mailbox.
HELP!

For safety, First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Did you do the full route...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these +folder & file+ to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Problem with jpeg images imported from Illustrator

Hi, i am kind of new with Premire and video, though have experience in web design and coding, but i have noticed a weird problem with premiere pro cs 5.5 when i import jpeg pictures and put them as intro before the video that where done in adobe illustrator and have vectors and stuff, the quality of the image gets pretty bad and blurry...i searched through the internet looking for clues on what to do like changing to png, tiff formats but nothing has helped so far....any ideas on what to do. So when i import jpeg,png images from illustrator (that have vectors or illustrations) do i have to do something special with it, or import it in some special format??? i would appreciate the help.
This is how the image looks on youtube:
Anyway here is the video with its poor image quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_oMNzXAZ8Y&feature=youtu.be
This is how it looks originally before putiing it, in premiere pro cs 5.5

THANX guys would appreciate the help!!!

hiya.
video likes 72 dpi ( though some will say it doesnt matter .. thats a long story ). basically video 'shows' 72 dpi ( basically what the monitor resolution is...typically 72 dpi ). As you know from print and dimensions, there is a relative sorta thing with byte count ( file size in bytes ), ppi ( I usually say dpi but in video its ppi ....same thing basically )..., and dimensions ( width x height ).
soooo , as you know in print and web stuff...there is a relationship between number of dots or pixels, dimensions in inches or pixels, and overall byte count of file size....
That said, in "print" it is usually best to go with 300dpi.. In video it is best to go with 72 ppi.....
Also, in print and going offest press.. its nice to go with cmyk ( for color separations ).. but in video and web its best to go with RGB.
The video stuff doesnt deal with vector stuff... it just sees and deals with bitmapped stuff...vector stuff is a mathematical sorta thing whereas video stuff is just plain old bitmaps ( like BMP, TIF, JPG, etc )...
Ideally your still images and graphics in a video editing program would be bitmapped rgb 72 ppi.. and match exactly the dimension of your video format ( eg. 1080p ). That said, it is normal to have LARGER images ( still images and graphics ) than your project dimensions if you PLAN ON SCALING AND MOTION )... like, your original graphic or pic can be larger than the project if you plan on scaling it down over time to make it look like you are zooming out in the video ....
To get the best results of a graphic or picture in a video is to have it exactly the project size ( eg. 1920x1080 px at 72 ppi for full HD ).
soooooo.... if you convert your vector to bitmap, save as psd or tif or something... at 72ppi , with the dimensions in inches or pixels that equals the video ( 1920x1080 for example )... you will see what you want in your second sample ( the original )...
ps.. you can import layers to the video if you wanna do a psd file and have ONE of those layers the one you use in your video ...can label it something like " video layer " ... whatever...

Problem with iPhoto 7 import

Hi,
I find a big problem with iPhoto 7 and import !
I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
It is only in iPhoto.
If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...
Have you a solution?
Regards,

all my photos are in jpeg in high resolution
It is very important because if we want to produce an album we must send a high resolution, but they are only 1mo to 2mo by photo not 35mo...
iPhoto not import grayscale? ...
I you produce in RGB photos are biggers...
It is really a bad news
The problem I have some colors photos with this bug...

I have a problem with disable my account in apple store

hi i got a problem with disable my account apple store... so what should i do?

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
