Changing from microsoft entourage to mac mail 7.2 ?

Is there a way to switch from Microsoft Entourage 2008, Version 12.3.5 [latest installed update v 12.3.6] to Mac Mail 7.2 and keep all my mailboxes and contacts?
John Modder

Open Entourage, drag the email account folder to the desktop of your Mac, this will produce an .mbox file. Import that file into Mail (File>Import)
Theoretically your folder structure should be intact, realistically it may not be.

Exporting from Entourage to Mac Mail

I have a large Entourage inbox. Thousands of Emails. When I try to export from Entourage everything seems to work fine. But, when I import, only about a third come through. Is there a sure fire way to get all emails from Entourage to Mac Mail. I am using Mountain Lion.

Alex,
This thread is getting unbelievably messy for what originally was such a simple question. Nowhere did I say that the procedure I suggested was meant for a particular type of account or mailbox. It allows any messages to be exported in standard mbox format. It’s Stanley who mentioned IMAP as an alternative procedure to transfer mail between mail clients, and what I said in the post you’re replying to is precisely that IMAP has nothing to do with what I was talking about...
What does “suitable for archiving” mean? If you have any questions that have nothing to do with the problem of transferring mail from Mail to Entourage, which is what we’re supposed to be talking about here, please either find a thread that discusses the same questions or start a new topic to properly discuss them in their own thread instead of hijacking someone else’s thread. Here is a recent example of such a thread:

How do I move group lists from Entourage to Mac Mail

Does anyone know a way to import a group mailing list from Entourage into Mac Mail? Entourage says something about exporting to a note first but I’m lost. Any light anyone could shed would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Does Entourage export as CSV (comma separated vars)? You can import that file format into Contacts.

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?
Under Mailboxes in Mac Mail, I used to see Inbox (along with sub-Inboxes for each account, all of which are still there), VIPs (still there), Sent (still there), Drafts, Junk and Trash, all of which are missing, without me making ANY changes anywhere, either on Mac Mail or Gmail.
Any ideas ... or other people experiencing same issue? (Happened in my wife's account and I just assumed the kids deleted something, but then I went to my account where the kids never are and I found the same issue.)

Do you mean that they are not listed under Gmail's header at the bottom of the Mailbox List or that they don't exist in the Unified Mailboxes at the top?
If they are not in the unified mailboxes, check down under Gmail and vice versa. If they are at the bottom under Gmail, select each separately and go to the Use Mailbox for command in the Mailbox menu. Set each one to what they are supposed to be, ie Trash, Junk, Sent, Drafts.
If they don't appear anywhere, log into Google's email website, go to Settings, click on the Labels tab and make sure those mailboxes are set to show in IMAP.
Finally, if they are IMAP accounts, just delete the accounts from Mail then re-add them. If you have a lot of email, it will take a while to synchronize, but it should recover those foldrs. If you are using POP, I'm not exactly sure how to save the old email, but I would assume Google is already doing that for you.

Hi Blotontheland,
Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

How do I Import Mail Contacts from MS Outlook to Mac Mail? MacMini OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi I am using OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I have been trying to export my People Contcts list from MS Outlook to Mac Mail, can anyone help? Thanks

Ed,
the simplest solution is to convert your Outlook PST file to standard mbox files using Thunderbird - TB on the PC imports Outlook data just fine and - unlike the other proposed solution - is free. When you install TB on your PC for the first time, it will ask you to import your Outlook data.
Once you have all your mail messages in mbox format, you can import them into Mail. However, instead of using Mail's "Import" feature to do so, I would propose you use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner for this - the program can also import TB mailboxes to Apple Mail and will preserve all your message status flags (read, replied, ...):

Changed from iCloud Backup to Mac Backup now less storage on my iPhone, now im back on iCloud and it still has less free storage

Changed from iCloud Backup to Mac Backup now I have less storage on my iPhone (I had 4GB free, then I had 1.2 MB free) , now I'm back on iCloud and it still has less free storage.. any help?

Unfortunately, the only way to remove a restrictions passcode is to restore your phone as new, without using a backup (because the backup simply restores the restriction passcode back to your phone). You could, of course, restore the backup again and save as much of your data as you can before restoring it as new again. For example, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to your self. You can later open this email on your phone after restoring it as new and tap the attachment to import your contacts back to your phone. You can also import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, then sync them back to your phone later or transfer them back over your wifi using an app like PhotoSync.

Moving from Entourage to Mac Mail

Hey All,
I'm moving all of my mail accounts over to mac mail so that when the time comes that I have my iPhone (few months hopefully) all my mail will go to the mac mail app, and thus to my phone as well.
First is there a way I can move all of my messages that i have saved from Entourage over to mail (without forwarding each individual one) AND i can't figure out how to create folders. I can make a smart mailbox, but I'm trying to create a folder so that, for instance, when my boss sends me an email, i can move it to the folder, so that I can save it. OR even have a rule set so that messages from my boss go to that folder. I was able to do it in entourage, i'm just wondering if i can in mail?

For import, read this apple article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml807.html
For creating folder read this apple article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml611.html
Hope this helps.

Import mails from microsoft outllook to mac outlook

Am trying to import mails from MS outlook to MAC outlook and its not importing all msgs/ folders..
adv why??

You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

Iphoto will suddently only use entourage, NOT Mac Mail

Hi,
My iPhoto(5) has suddenly started using entourage for the email function even though I do not use entourage as my regular mail app. I use the Mac Mail app and have never used entourage and when I went to the prefs in iPhoto to change the email app, it wouldn't let me check Mac Mail(it was shaded out) I've never had this problem before. I haven't made any major changes on my ibook at all so I'm at a complete loss. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks!! I would like to use mac mail...but I am getting frustrated with it. initially I couldn't get it to send either from mac account or pop account although it would receive from both. I received the smtp error message other threads are reporting. I solved the mac mail issue thanks to another thread (changing the port to 587), but I have tried several of the fixes found on my POP account to no avail...receive but won't send. I suppose I could stop using my POP account and just use the mac account...but that would require admitting defeat I've only been a mac user for weeks and I'm totally sold on it....figured out everything but this so far.....

How to transfer emails from PC/Outlook to Mac/Mail

I just bought MacBookPros and iPads for my small business. After many many hours, i was ensured that the iCloud/Mac combo was the solution for me. It has turned out to be extremely difficulat migrating from PC/Outlook.
I will not get in to details now, but after 27 hours, we have finally been able to migrate our files and emails over. However, my sub-folders in my Outlook Inbox that i have created over the years did not migrate over. All my emails in my inbox did, but not the subfolders. How can i transfer those over from my PC/Outlook to my Mac/Mail?

Looking at other posts (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=60&tstart=0) this is what I found to be a helpful answer for many:
This is by far the easiest and risk-free way to do this that I found. I've made a few switches in the past 12 months after changing from Windows, thinking Outlook would be the best option and now regretting it I wanted to change back. No need to buy add-ons or software, apply for gmail or anything else outside of your Mac.
Drag all your mail folders from Outlook onto your desktop and then you can bulk select them through the Import Mailbox option in the File menu in Mail.
Thanks JChp53!

There is a longish way to do this.
In Outlook, Select the folder you want to move (If there are folders within the folder, you have to select each individual subfolder, as the subfolders won't copy along with the main folder, only the messages in the folder will copy). Click and drag the selected folder (ex: inbox folder) to a new folder on your desktop. I couldn't figure out a way to select all the folders, so i dragged each folder and subfolder from Outlook into the folder on the desktop. Once you're done copying all the Outlook folders, open up Mac Mail. Go to File --> import mailboxes. Then select "Files in mbox format" and click continue. Then select desktop, and the folder you dragged all of your Outlook folders into. Hit "Choose." Mac Mail will import all of these folders, and when it's finished, will tell you that they are under the folder labeled "imports" in Mac Mail, and you just have to move all your subfolders back into their main folders.
Like I said, it takes a little while longer than I would like, but it worked for me and now I have all my old mail from Outlook in Mac Mail.
Hope that helps (and that I explained right)!

Microsoft Outlook to Mac Mail

I would like to be able to read my Microsoft Outlook Inbox from work on my Macbook at home through Mac Mail.
Is there an easy way to check my mail from home? It would be helpful on my days off to stay up to date with things.

It depends on how your work's exchange server is setup. Some businesses and organizations allow only internal communications with the e-mail server. Do they have outlook web access (view your outlook e-mail through the web)? If they do, then you should be able to configure Mac OS X Mail.app to have an additional account (exchange) and supply it the information from your IT department.
