Export from Eudora (Windows) to Mail

During a period of my life I was forced by an employer to use Windows. So I used Eudora on Microsoft Exchange Server for my mail. When I finally quit that job, which I should have done as soon as I heard they used Windows), I needed to export all that mail to Mail (MacOS).
The recommended way was to Export to an IMAP server, and then use Mail on my MacBook to download them all from the IMAP server.
However, having done this, there are hundreds or thousands of the mails (as viewed in Mail) that are cluttered up with .xml code or .html code or whatever it is. Makes trying to read them excruciating!! This may be some bug in Eudora, but regardless of cause, I really really would like to find a solution...
Help!!!

You may try using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion. It may require rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards, but instead of rebuilding them one by one, you may re-create the entire index as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

HT5361 Switching from Eudora to Apple Mail

I have an eMac that was upgraded to Mac OS X v. 10.5.8. I need to get a new machine. But I am using Eudora as my mail client and it can't be upgraded and will not work with later systems, so I am trying to switch to Apple Mail which I assume will be upgradable when I get the new system. However, I can't get the mail to work even after using the cheat sheet which does not correspond exactly with what I see on the screen. Can anyone help? Thanks.

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)

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:

I am trying to export email from THunderbird to Mac Mail - all seems to go well but only 1 email is imported in Mac Mail. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

You might have more luck creating a Gmail account, uploading all your mail there, and then using IMAP access.
Then you have easy access to your email from any device, and Gmail integrates really nicely with all your IOS devices as well.
Just remember to set Gmail up as an Exchange Account"

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.

How do I import email and contacts from windows 8 mail to thunderbird

Hi there,
I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail app. However, it is very basic so I am keen to switch to Thunderbird. However, I cannot find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird from Windows 8 Mail.
There seems to be no export option on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an Import option but this is not able to locate the Windows 8 mail files.
There doesn't appear to be answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mark

The Win 8 Mail app is usually associated with a hotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, set it up as an IMAP account:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998184#answer-566746
To import the contacts, open the account from the web page, export the contacts as a csv file, and follow the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012084#answer-607601
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
Since hotmail/outlook accounts automatically copy sent messages to the Sent folder, uncheck "Place a copy in.." under Tools/Account Settings/<i>hotmailaccount</i>/Copies & Folders.

Disasterous email problems since switched from Eudora to Mail

On Feb. 1 I switched my broadband from Clear wireless to Comcast and my email client from Eudora to Mac Mail due to its allowing different port settings for my 2 personal email addresses which are forwarded and my business address which is not. I had occasional problems of not receiving certain emails but not constant. Now I figure about a quarter of my emails incoming and outgoing are disappearing forever without any bounce back messages. I even set up exclusive new email addresses on my server for a couple of my writers, some of whose mail I failed to get. Even one of those emails was lost. My business is threatened. Help!
I have received conflicting advice from AppleCare, Comcast, my hosting firm and others. Neither Comcast nor my hosting co. are filtering anything, according to them. Emails I fail to receive never get to the server - they are supposedly lost somewhere out there. My senders are not blocking mail because most of my msgs and theirs get thru. Lost emails never appear in the Junk folder. I use POP, Authorization, not SSL. My hosting says I should use Port 26 for outgoing; they won't say what to use for incoming. AppleCare says to use Port 110 for outgoing on my personal email addresses and to use the ISP that forwards them for the Incoming: mail.aracnet.com We still use Eudora on the MacBook so it's difficult to compare and test Mail settings.
I'm trying to work with Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to get my Address Book properly copied over. Mac Mail totally wrecked it, but I don't know how to delete that bad import first.

Really appreciate your assistance! My hosting people are being no help at all. I'm very familiar with "edit server list" - have been there often. It is my hosting person who tells me their logs show that none of the various emails I failed to receive on the first sending - for which I expand the headings and forwarded to him - have ever reach their server and therefore something's going wrong "out there" and they're not responsible. He even just suggested I sign up with gmail for my email service since I've been so much trouble to him. I've had an email address on my own server for ten years now - [email protected] - and don't want to change it!
I corrected the terrible instructions I got from AppleCare and reversed my incoming and outgoing server settings to audaud.com for regular email and to mail.aracnet.com SMPT for my two personal email addresses I want to send thru Aracnet. (and am paying them to forward them to the audaud.com server). However, when I just tried to reply to an email I received to [email protected] I got a warning I never saw before: (Thought I could attach a screenshot of it but can't seem to) It says "cannot send the message using the server audaud.com." Yet a few minutes later I sent an email to several of the writers for my site and it was sent. The settings were the same!
My hosting people told me to use Port 26 for sending but they refuse to tell me which port to use for INCOMING mail (using POP). Maybe the port settings are fouling me up, but why do they cause problems only part of the time? I don't use SSL.
Doesn't everyone receive via their email client "all the emails that get to the server?" Again: any directions on deleting the non-working import of the Eudora Address Book and doing it again properly with Eudora Mailbox cleaner?

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.

Do you copyemail from a PC running windows live mail? I have attempted to use Thunderbird and was successful in converting the live mail files to Mbox format but when I tried to import these files to the Mac only one message from each file was shown.

I am having a problem trying to migrate some old email messages from a PC running Windows live mail.
I downloaded Thunderbird to the PC and imported the email messages and folders into Thunderbird and was able to create Mbox files for all the folders and messages. I copied these files to a usb stick and then tried to export the folders and messages to my iMac running Lion. It appeared to copy the folders to the Mac but only one message per folder was placed on the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed to copy these email messages over? Thanks.
