Entourage to Apple mail for email

I've been putting off making the move from Entourage to Apple Mail. Now is the time....but ---- in several online instructions I found this direction: To move your email, open Mail and click File > Import Mailboxes. From the pop-up window, select Microsoft Entourage as the email client. When I do that Entourage is not on the list...it's Apple Mail, Netscape, Thunderbird, Eudora and files in mbox format. So what do I need to do move my email to Apple Mail.
Thanks.

Hi All, I had duplicated mail boxes set up. Apple Support called me (I had scheduled the time) and they took a look at it and said to delete one of them.

How do I move from Mozilla Thunderbird to Apple Mail for email??

Hi,
I am currently using Thunderbird from Mozilla & I would like to use Apple's Mail application for sending and receiving my email.
I tried to import Thunderbird but it did not work. I would also like to import the subfolders where I saved email messages in Thunderbird but I can not seem to figure out how to do that either. I would also like to import my Thuderbird addresses.
If anyone is familiar with how to set up Mail from Thunderbird, please advise. Also, could you please be specific because I am new to MacIntosh. I used PC's for years until I got tired of Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
relaxed

See if this will help. It's from http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050402143519725
Navigate to ~/Library: Thunderbird: Profiles: your_profile: Mail: Local Folders. Identify the mailboxes you seek to use in Mail.app.
Each mailbox has three pieces to it - i.e. inbox.sbd, inbox.msf and inbox with no extension.
Take the file with no extension, hold down the Option key (so it also stays in the folder) and drag it to the desktop.
Rename this copy with .mbox as the file extension. For example, inbox becomes inbox.mbox.
Open Mail.app and select File: Import, choose Other, and navigate to the desktop and click Choose. Choose the file you just renamed. Your mailbox(es) should appear in the import window and will import into Mail.app.

About Ready to Ditch Apple Mail for Outlook

I've been using Apple Mail for several years with no issues. Suddenly that has changed. A few weeks ago I noticed I am unable to rename Mailboxes that I've created in the past (i.e., I rename them and get an error message). I posted a separate question about that on February 23, 2012 and have had no comments or responses to that post.
Yesterday I did two things in Mail:
Created a new mailbox named 2012 HOUSTON, and
Dragged about 3 mailboxes to put them in a different order than they appeared
This morning I received an email I wanted to put into the 2012 HOUSTON folder.......and it was GONE. Completely gone. I did a search for the email I placed in that folder yesterday and it also was gone. Also, one of the other folders I had reordered had returned to its previous position near the bottom of the mailboxes.
This is unacceptable behavior for Mail and I can't find any solution. I am a hair's breadth away from moving to Outlook, something I've resisted for a long time because Entourage (Microstop's old email program) was so buggy, and having been a Mac user since 1988 I do my utmost to use Apple products.
HELP, ANYONE!!!

Okay, now you're confusing me. Me.com is IMAP mail and there is no setting as you described unless you set it up for POP3.

Switch from Entourage to Apple mail

I have imported my Entourage emails and Addressbook into Apple mail. Some new emails are coming into Entourage and some into Apple Mail and some into both. How do I control this so they stop coming into Entourage and come only into Apple?
Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for your reply.
If I have imported my addressbook and emails from Entourage into Apple mail, is that the same thing has backing up my Entourage data as you suggested? Or is there something else I'm not aware of that should be backed up. All I have ever used Entourage for is email and addressbook. Entourage has also been automatically backing up up on iDisk.
Thanks again.
You're going to need to stop Entourage from getting
email from that account.
Open Entourage.
Go to the Entourage menu.
You can then select and delete the account.
Note: You should consider backing up your Entourage
data just in case you change your mind.

How do I import contact list from entourage to apple mail?

I've been using Entourage as my email for years, but everything Microsoft on my Mac screw up. I want to get rid of all of my Microsoft stuff. How do I transfer my mail contacts from Entourage to Apple Mail?

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

Moving folders from Entourage to Apple Mail

I need to move several folders of 'saved messages' from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have done by using File>Import Mailboxes then clicked Microsoft Entourage. I get the boxes up and tick the ones I want to import.
They do drop into Mail, as do the headers of the mails inside each folder but when I click on one it's an empty email. I guess this is something to do with them not being mbox format.
Any ideas how I save all my Entourage emails in mbox format and then get them into Mail else I am going to be switching between both Applications every day?

Actually my subject is misleading: It should be "From Entourage on 1 mac to Entourage on another mac." In retrospect I should have posted this message in another thread. Sorry!
From Entourage drag the mailboxes into a folder on the desktop (it works).
Airport the folder over to the the other mac.
Launch Entourage & drag the .eml files (the extension for Entourage mailboxes) from the desktop folder into the Inbox in the Entourage application.
New mailboxes will automatically be created containing all of the emails in the Entourage window of the original computer.
This isn't strictly a Mail & Address book issue, perhaps it should have been in the OS 10.4 thread. In any case I hope this is useful to anyone who needs to xfer emails in such a manner. Resending each one would have been brutal as I'm talking several thousands. For tedious reasons too many to list I realized that I needed the mailboxes and their content transferred into Entourage on the other computer.
I love "drag and drop."

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
Best of luck

Does anyone know the sys file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?

Does anyone know the system file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?
I want to stuff a bunch of files into that folder and have them appear in Apple Mail.
Thanks

I think the problem is the fact that the emails are on a PPC G5 and in a completely different format that your main iMac (you're on Lion?). There is even a problem between SL and Lion; I just spent hours dragging individual mailboxes from a Lion machine to an SL machine. They wound up in the Import section. And, I just tried it: after you manually put the mailboxes in the appropriate spot and you've rebuilt each mailbox once it appears in Mail, I was able to drag an email from an Import mailbox to my Inbox. But, as I said that was between SL and Lion; don't know if that would work with 10.4 (?) and Lion.

Neither Entourage nor Apple Mail will retain my password

About three weeks ago, Entourage '08 stopped remembering my password (I'm remembering now, it was around when we updated to 10.6.8). I spend about 2 hours trying to figure out why, checking discussion boards, etc. I thought it was Entourage, murmured some obscenities about Microsoft, and went to switch my gmail IMAP acct to Apple Mail. Keychain still does not retain the password there either. I've tried to repair permissions, but to no avail.
Interestingly enough, I have another user name on the Mini where Entourage and Apple Mail behaves just fine when logged in. On my Macbook Pro, the update has not affected use of Entourage or Apple Mail.
Does anyone have any ideas? I read a bunch of the older posts on similar topics, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks, all!

switch my gmail IMAP acct to Apple Mail
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then select the Account Information tab.
Type in the password.
Quit Mail, then relaunch Mail to test.

How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated. I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line. My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there.
My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.
When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems. Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe. I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

Apple Mail : Move emails from one account to another

Good Day,
I please need help with Apple Mail. A client of mine recently changed her email address from her webhost to online exchange. I setup her new email in Apple Mail and that is all working and nice.
Her Apple mail now shows 2 accounts:
- the old IMAP
- the new Exchange
I would like to consolidate all emails from her old IMAP account to her new Exchange account, so that they are all in one place. In Outlook you can just drag and drop emails and folders between the accounts, but my client says that that doesn't work in Apple Mail.
How would I go about moving these emails from one email account within Apple Mail to another?
Sorry for the trivial question, but I am a Windows girl and not as versed in Mac;)
Thanks for the help!
Maike

Try creating a new mailbox in the On My Mac section and drag the e-mails there. Mail/Mailbox/New Mailbox.

Apple Mail software - email is not displaying in folder

I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong (and it may still be!).
I have Apple mail (my own domain, not Google's email system)...and my folders are kept in the cloud (Apple's cloud).
Ever since I went to Mavericks when I try and browse through my folders the emails are listed there but clicking on an email does not display its contents. It is a blank screen. My in-box is always fine. But my folders I sort mail into… a list with blank for the individual email's contents.
I read through the forums and the best I could find was that the email folder needed to be rebuilt. But doing so only worked temporarily. If I quit my email and go back in, same problem. And it's also really, really slow in displaying the list.
Very odd.
><({(º>

Figured it out...
Turned out iCloud does not like odd characters in the front of folders.
I had Tildes in front of special folders and folders with older projects and clients.
Once I removed the Tilde everything got a lot better.
