Can I import messages from my 'Windows Live Mail' client

I have been having a lot of problems with Windows Live Mail so have decided to try Thunderbird. I have set up my a/c and downloaded messages from gmail but would like to load my folders and their contents from windows live mail.

  • Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

    (If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
    I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
    When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
    I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
    As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
    Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
    (Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

    In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.

    Because there is no other response.

  • Can't connect to server with Windows Live Mail

    When I got the e-mail a few weeks ago about changing the e-mail settings, I did so.  I use Windows Live Mail on my home computer.  I have had not problems at all either sending or receiving mail from either of my accounts.
    Early this morning, I checked my e-mail with no problem.  When I logged in again around noon, Windows Live Mail wouldn't connect with my server.  I double checked settings.  Everything was as instructed.  But I still couldn't connect.
    I just changed them back to old settings and everything is working fine.
    What's going on???

    I'm having the same issue using my Mac.  I did try going through the account setup on my Mac Mail for my verizon.net account and it automatically set it up using the old settings(very interesting).  It wants to use incoming.verizon.net and outgoing.verizon.net.  That actually worked.  I got a test message.  It was slow but did receive but sending one out from outgoing.verizon.net did not work.  Obviously they are having major problems with this switch-over.  There is nothing on the website about problems so my guess is they fouled up and are trying to recover without taking the fall again.

  • Sub-folders and synching from hotmail/windows live mail

    Hi there
    I have a hotmail account which I use via my home laptop through Windows Live mail. I have various sub-folders in my hotmail which also appear in my Windows Live mail.
    Whilst I can access my inbox and sent items from my iphone I cannot see my subfolders which I need to distribute a large amount of mail to.
    Can anyone tell me how I can get these folders to appear on my iphone (3 - not sure which OS).
    Also, when I delete items from my iphone they do not delete on my hotmail/live mail. Is there a way of addressing this?
    Thanks!!

    To do what you want, you need the mail account to be set up as IMAP, which syncs the contents of the server with your device. It sounds like yours is set up as POP, which doesn't work that way.
    I've lost touch with Hotmail, but I saw this which might help (you'll need to set up a new mail account on the phone to make it work)

  • I can't add a tab for windows live mail , I am running windows 7 64 bit

    I can't add a tab for email for windows live mail to the tab bar, I am using windows 7, 64 bit . I can add it to the 32 bit o/s, but not the 64 bit.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I import files from a windows environment?

    I am used to a pc environment.  How can I import files ie. PDF, excel, word onto my iPad?  I imagine that this is done through ITunes but am unsure how?  Are there iPad versions of say Microsoft office that need to be used?

    I use Documents to Go, a program that will open all the file types you listed. With its purchase you also get access to a desktop program that allows you to wirelessly sync documents between computers and your device, without going through iTunes.
    The other ways to get data onto your device
    Mail it to yourself and then save it to (send it to) the app from the e-mail.
    Use iTunes to sync the data into the app that will open it.
    Use an online service like Dropbox or others. You put the data 'out there' on your PC, then access it on your iPad and save it into the app.
    One thing to remember, the iPad is different from Windows and Macs in one fundamental way. There is no 'windows explorer' or 'finder' for the iPad. The operating system doesn't have access to the whole device and everything on it. Instead you have apps that access bits and pieces of the system and have limited ways to share data across apps.
    Think of it as World War Two French Resistence.....all these different groups (apps) working on the same device, but most if not all of them have very limited ways to discuss/contact each other. The apps are 'sandboxed' in that they have limited contact with other apps. So the easiest way to deal with various file types is to find the app that handles that kind of file and use that.

  • Can't import emails from outlook express into mail

    Just bought a macbook, I'm new into MAC, I'm a MAC ROOKIE. I'm trying to import my email from my microsoft outlook express to my MAC MAIL, I followed the instructions to import from outlook but when I locate the outlook files for my emails (they have extension .dbx but it won't let me select the files. Besides in the outlook folder there are dozens of files (1 per email subfolder). What am I doing wrong that I can't import the emails, nor the address book?
    Thxs!!!
    Avecesar

    Pay attention to the information Mail displays during the import process. It could be that it wants you to select the folder that contains the files to be imported, rather than the files themselves.
    EDITED: Now that I've read your post again, I don't think you're going to be able to do this on your MacBook, as importing from Outlook Express requires that application to be running in the "Classic" environment, which isn't available for Intel-based Macs.
    Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how importing from Outlook Express is supposed to work, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

  • Can't drag messages from inbox to specific mail boxes

    All of a sudden mail does not allow me to drag messages from the inbox to specific mail boxes - anyone else having a similar issue and i so, what is the solution ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • Can I import settings from CS5's Live Trace to CS6's Image Trace?

    I'm loving CS6 Illustrator, except for one thing. Image Trace. Here, Adobe seem to have taken away the two most usefull settings from Live Trace, and replaced all the presets with ones that are pretty much unusable. I almost always used either 'Comic Art' or 'Lettering' to trace hand-drawn images, but they're both gone. None of the new settings are good enough, even if I make a custom one. The main issue is that the sliders in Image Trace are for completely different things to those in Live Trace, so it's difficult to translate one set of settings into the other.
    With Image Trace, I cannot get the same results as with Live Trace, and so far, have found myself having to have Illustrator CS5 open at the same time as CS6, just so I can get workable traces.
    I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way to import the presets from Live Trace, or even the full tool, into CS6, to replace the new Image Trace presets?
    If not, does anyone know how to make the equivelant of Comic Art  in Image Trace's new settings?
    Images, to help define the problem: This is a close up of a file I was trying to trace, showing the major difference in quality between the two CS versions.
    Left: CS5 - Comic Art setting.
    Right: CS6 - This is a custom setting, but is the closest I have come to Comic Art thus far.
    As you can see, the definition of Image Trace is far lower in quality than Live Trace, giving me one large connected blob of colour rather than the distictly separate lines produced in Live Trace.

    I can't show the original as it is a HUGE file, 10000 pixels wide. I scan as high as my scanner will go. And that 10000 is shrunk down already so as not to exhaust my RAM. Below is a smaller version, but yes it is a b/w drawing but on a colour scan. It's been treated using Levels in Photoshop to remove the grey/blue colour of the paper, but nothing else.
    I can see round the edges of the black in Photoshop that there are bits of colour, mainly reds/yellows. What do you think I need to do to it to help it trace better?
    Actually, I'll throw in my Image Trace settings too, so people can see what settings I'm currenty trying... I got the Threshold directly from Comic Art in CS5.5.

  • Trouble importing messages from Outlook 2000 to mail on MacBook

    I have been trying for two days to import my messages and message folders from Outlook 2000 to the mail program in my new MacBook (Leopard OS).
    I purchased the O2M program with which I was able to import my contacts and lists. However, every time I tried (about 5 times) to import the messages, I'd see the mailbox "Imported" listed but it was empty. After much searching I saw a posting about clicking "rebuild" which purportedly would restore the folders and messages - the "rebuild" function is not available (grayed out).
    Then I downloaded Eudora to my XP laptop, imported the Outlook files to it, transferred the required files to the Mac, and used the Eudora Mailbox Cleaner (following the instructions found online) and I get the same result - I see the "Imported" mailbox, but the "rebuild" function is not available.
    I'm sure I could try downloading Thunderbird and doing this all over again but it seems to me I'd just run into the same problem as with the O2M program and Eudora. I feel like there must be some simple thing I'm missing (even though I've followed the O2M instructions, the Eudora Mailbox Cleaner instructions, and some other suggestions).
    Oh, and since I didn't want the Windows for Mac version of Office, I deleted the trial version so now I don't have Entourage to try importing into there first! If I'd only known......... that probably would have worked best. Does anyone know if that is on either of the installation discs that come with the MacBook?
    Simply forwarding all those emails isn't an option. My ISP does not have an IMAP server, so that's not an option, either (unless I can use a .mac mail account maybe? That just occurred to me....)
    At any rate, I seriously would love some suggestions/help as I'm going NUTS trying to get this done! What a mess.
    TIA -
    jsjazz

    Well, I can use my .mac mail account to upload from my XP laptop, and use that .mac account on the MacBook to move the messages - - - it's just going to take forever (sigh). If anyone comes up with a quicker solution I'd be thrilled........

  • Can't Drag Text from Terminal Window to Mail

    I can drag and drop text from Mail to the Terminal window but not the other way around. I can drag text from Terminal to Word but not Mail. Is there a setting I have wrong somewhere?

    Do we know if this is in the plasn for 10.5? It just seems like one Apple app to another Apple app should be abel to drag and drop text. It does work from Mail to Terminal... I can always copy and paste the text but it just gnaws away at me I guess.

  • Issues importing messages from live mail

    I am having problems importing messages from my WIndows Live Mail to my Thunderbird. The instructions say go to "Tools ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory | Also from its subdirectories." However in my Thunderbird l have tools, import and then it takes me to a wizard which says "This wizard will help import messages....." and when l select 'mail' as the type l wish to import it asks for a type of mail l want to import. Windows Live Mail is not in the list. Do you have any instructions or advice?

    Those instructions assume that you have installed [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ ImportExportTools].
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
    Or, if you can export the WLM mail to eml files, they can be dragged from their Explorer location and dropped in a TB folder.

  • Move email files from windows live mail to office for mac outlook

    I would like to move all my Email data from MS Windows live mail to MS Office for Mac Outlook.  Can it b done??

    OK.
    Your provider supports IMAP and POP, so, easy way first.
    Go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and enter the ntlworld account, SMTP for sending and IMAP for receiving (use 'other' as the account type), this will activate the account on the Mac and (depending on how set up on the PC) either sync all of the mail, or only the new mail. Post back and tell me which.
