Can't import emails from mail

I've given up on Lion and downgraded. However, I can't seem to import emails back into the SL mail app from the mailboxes created in the ML mail app over the last several months. Is there some method to do this? I need several things from previous correspondence.

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.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

Can't download email from Mail 5.3 installed on OS 10.7.5.

I may have just found the solution. It turns out that the photos on my iPhone only became inaccessible after the latest upgrade of iOS 7. They were not recognizable by any means of access from my mac. So...I launched iTunes and up came a dialog box asking me if I wanted to allow access to the iPhone via this computer. I clicked "Allow," and it told me to use the iPhone to allow access. I went to the iPhone and sure enough there was a dialog box asking for permission to share information with the computer. I clicked "allow" or "yes" or something like that, and for me the problem was solved. I can now upload photos from my iPhone with Bridge just like I used to. No problem. I hope this will work for other mac users.

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

Import email from Mail to Outlook

I just recently upgraded my OS to Lion, and I am pleased with it so far. I have run into an issue with regards to e-mail though. I was using Mail for my default mail client, but have decided to switch to Outlook 2011 Mac for personal reasons. MS Office 2011 for Mac was installed prior to upgrading Lion. When I try to import messages from Mail, the import process creates a folder in Outlook, but no messages are imported. As soon as I select Ok to start the Import Wizard, it will immediate finish with no messages imported. I have spoken to another person and they confirmed that the import failed as well for them, they have upgraded to Lion as well. I am asking if this is a known issue with Lion or just coincident.
Thanks for any and all support/solutions.

I just downloaded and installed Thunderbird to test importing from Mail. I go through the import wizard and when I get to the end of it I get the following message
Mail was successfully imported from Mail
No mailboxes were found to import
After each import attempt a new import folder is created but no messages are imported.
As this is pretty much the same end result from using the Outlook import wizard as well, I want to say that this might not be a Outlook issue.

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!!!

Can't receive email from Mail 3.4 and I can't get rid of a draft email

OK, two problems here...
1 The most frustrating is that I can't receive mail from Mail 3.4. I can send and my wife's email account is working fine. I've got a green light from the "Mail Connection Doctor" and I haven't changed any settings that I know of. I've been accessing my mail thru me.com now, it's working OK but not like "Mail".
and
2 I have this piece of email that I sent...the guy received it...and it keeps showing up in my "Drafts" mailbox. I delete it, then it comes back, sometimes multiple copies! I've been getting an error message....
"Some actions taken while the account “Joe's Email” was offline could not be completed online."
"Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.
Additional information: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 143 timed out."
Now my airport connection has been on and off with this machine (my old powerbook has been rock solid on the same network) so the "timed out" portion is probably true...but why can't I just get ride of this email message?
Thanks for the help

I think I've got it fixed....I "reset" my mail program, I deleted my mailbox then re-created it and I'm all set for now.

Can't send emails from Mail with microsoft word attachments

Ok, this is a weird one. About a month ago I realized that people weren't receiving my emails sent from Mail when I attached Microsoft Word documents to them. I can attach anything else, but the second I throw in a .doc, the email simply won't be received. It will send perfectly fine, without any errors or signs of problems. Ever heard of that before? Any ideas?
12" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.

How can I export emails from Mail to a file?

I have emails in Mail from a previous email host I was using. I want to export them into a file to give to my new email host. Can someone give me guidance on how to do this?

Try doing a Save As and make the format Raw Mesage Source.

I can only import emails from outlook express to TB for one identity. How do I import emails for my other account identities?

I'm using a portable version of Thunderbird because I want to use TB to collect emails for a few different accounts that I have scattered on different machines.
For example I have [email protected] on machine one and machine two. [email protected] is also on machines one and two.
After setting up accounts one and two in the portable app I can only import the messages for account one. I have tried many times over the last two days. Thunderbird does not want to import the messages for account two.
What do I need to do to import emails for multiple accounts into Thunderbird?

Does [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Outlook_Express#Importing_more_than_one_Outlook_Express_identity this method] for identities apply to your setup?
Keep in mind also that OE messages are eml files that can be dragged directly from Explorer to a TB folder, e.g. one created under Local Folders.

Can't Send email from Mail or Entourage

I tried posting this last night, but it doesn't seem to be showing up anywhere. Just last week my computer stopped sending mail. I can receive fine, but not send. I have tried in Entourage and in Mail. I'm using a POP account and use a different server for incoming and outcoming.
It worked fine until last week and the same thing works fine at my work (using the outgoing server from my work and using my home ISP at work) I use my ISP outgoing server at home and have even tried using a trial for MSN, and my work ISP to see if another ISP would do it but it doesn't.
It comes back in Eudora with an error message: "Mail could not be sent using the account "Brian". A connection error occured. Error -3260. Mail says The message could not be appended to the Outbox.
I've tried changing from port 25 as well. I also tried setting up a new user account and starting Mail up new and fresh with the same results. My wife sent something at 9:00 and 1 hour later the problem started, so nothing was installed new at that time. Just upgraded to 10.4.4 today to see if it would help.

I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion. If you
can send mail with any email account and SMTP server
when connected to the internet at work but not when
connected to one of two personal ISPs when connected
to the internet at home, how can this be a computer
or Mail.app problem?
Because I have a different computer at home than the one I have at work. Were you thinking it was the same computer?
If this is a computer or Mail.app problem, don't you
think you would also have problems sending mail when
connected to the internet at work?
Not if the computer at work isn't broken like I assume the computer at home is.
Do you have dial-up internet access at home for both
ISPs?
Both ISPs are dial-up. One is All2Easy (This is the ISP I used first) and one is MSN. A new development is that I can no longer dial up using All2Easy. I get online using MSN. I can still send mail from work using the outgoing mail server of email.all2easy.net though.

Can I forward emails from Mail to my work email when I'm there?

Is is possible to have incoming Mail messages forwarded to another email address when I am at work? It takes too long to log into the web and check my home email at work when I'm there. I have outlook at work and it's way better than Mail (IMO). Can this be done?

A rule is simply an automated action that occurs based on a set of conditions. The ability to make rules exists in just about all email applications including Outlook and Mail.
One of the things I like about Mail is that making rules is a lot easier than in Outlook. But, there's no way to make an email client forward email to specific location by just checking a box because application doesn't know which messages you want forwarded and to where to send it until you tell it.
Anyway, enough background....here's how to make a Rule in Mail:
-Open Mail and select Mail->Preferences from the menu bar.
-Click on the Rules tab and click the Add Rule button.
-Type a name for your rule, e.g. "Forward to Work"
-For conditions, select To and Contains from the drop-down menus, then type your home email address in the blank at the end.
-For actions, select Forward Message from the drop-down menu and type your work email address in the blank.
-Click the OK button.
That's it. Now all messages to your home address will be forwarded to you work address.

Can't send emails from Mail (btinternet)

Suddenly my outgoing emails have stopped working - Im on BTInternet. SMTP settings haven't changed, but nothing.
Ugh! Any ideas anyone?
10.8.2

Spent two hours on the phone today with BT. They escaleted the problem to a specialist support desk, which we then had to agree to paying a £30 charge if they were able to fix the problem as they say that it is a problem with mac mail. (Which it isn't because it works fine using a different broadband connection, and we have three laptops in the house all with same problem!).
All three laptops have been working with out fault for the last four years and just before christmas they all stopped being able to send emails using hotmail. Obviously BT have changed something somewhere along the line.
The Specialist just changed our outgoing mail server to use BTs instead. (I have been using a different SMTP server anyway as a temporary fix since christmas) Whilst we are able to send emails, we are still unable to connect to hotmails SMTP server. Still had to pay the £30 though. As far as they are concerned that still counts as a fix. Another "solution" they gave me was to change the DNS address in system preferences- Not Ideal as everytime you connect your laptop to a new network you will have to reset them.An absolute joke.
Their direct number is 08000 321 118 if you need them to talk you through it. Best to have your bank card to hand.
Livid.
