Export mails/mailboxes to PDF?

Hi everyone,
on the PC you can export mails or whole mailboxes to PDF while retaining all the attachments in it. This is made possible when you have Acrobat Pro 9 installed. Is there a similar way to accomplish the same with Apple Mail? I know of the Archive option and how this gives you an mbox. For me this would be sufficient, but in order to be viewable also on the PC the customer would like to have PDFs here, too. Any ideas? Automator to the rescue?
Thanks
Björn

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I’m still looking for a a comparable solution.

Export mail message as PDF Applescript for mail rules

I have looked everywhere for this and found nothing. I don't have 40 hours to learn applescript myself but from the little I do know this should be possible. Probably easy.
I want to created an applescript to run as a mail rule. I want the script to export the message as a PDF and move that PDF to a specified folder. Hazel can take it from there.
for instance:
Fedex sends me a email message that my shipment has been delivered.
mail rule kicks in and runs the script
script creates a PDF of the message
message is moved to "fedex delivered" folder

I found a workaround, though there must be something neater.
I added this before my script
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "Mail"
                    tell menu bar 1
                              tell menu bar item "View"
                                        tell menu "View"
                                                  tell menu item "Sort By"
                                                            tell menu "Sort By"
                                                                      click menu item "Subject"
                                                            end tell
                                                  end tell
                                        end tell
                              end tell
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
then the same except "Date" instead of "Subject".
My script does what i want now.

Export Mail messages as PDF - missing extension

When exporting messages as PDF files, the resulting files don't seem to become proper PDF files. They show up as some generic file, illegible for Quick View and ignored by many applications as being a PDF. Forcing applications to open them as a PDF reveals that there's nothing wrong inside of it. So all it needs is a correct extension (whether or not it is shown). Adding the ".pdf" extension manually or by some batch conversion utility, immediately renders the PDF correctly.

I figured it out.
There was a setting in my pdf that had adobe layers on. I turned it off.
All good now!

How do I export or archive Mail mailboxes?

I used to be able to archive Mail email boxes and they'd have the name of the mail box and would be clearly an archive = I just tried to do so [running Lion] and what comes up is "com.apple.Mail.Backup" = with the icon of the 'old' Apple Backup program. So, if I go to export [archive, backup or whatever] Mailbox 1 and then go to 2, then it won't have the right name and might get overwritten.
What do I do??? I need to archive or back up a whole bunch of emails and am concerned about losing them etc.

I don't know what was happening but yesterday I went back and did the Export/Archive function and it ended up doing just as I expected, exporting the mailbox as an mbox format =finally!!! Not sure why it went haywire but all is fine now.

Was able to successfully solve the export problem by below command by adding the contentfilter parameter all -like this gave me all mails sent to this user and received to this user perfectly.
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "journalmailbox" -ContentFilter {all -like '[email protected]'} -FilePath "\\server\mailbox.pst"

Exporting Emails from Mail Mailbox

With Mail, I have devoted a mailbox to several hundred emails rejected and returned from a mailing list. Within these several hundred emails, I would like to extract those addresses that proved to be invalid.
Is there some way in which I can export this mailbox to a program wherein I can then cull these addresses or what method I might use to do so?
PLEASE and THANK YOU!

please don't put your email in the posts. that's against forum rules. what I suggested was to add all those bad addresses to a new group in address book.
select all emails in the mailbox with all those rejected addresses. then double-click on the "Add addresses" script in Mail scripts. it will offer to import all those addresses to a group in address book. that's all. from there you'll have to decide what you want to do with them.

How do I export a mailbox to address book from mail?

Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.

Apple Mail uses Apple's own PDF viewer, and it's ... well, let's be friendly and say not really up to par. Don't use it for anything else than ascertaining there is *something* in your mail. Then use the free Adobe Reader to view your PDF.

hi,
all the UI elements in the adobe form are generally connected to your web-dynpro Context.
whatever you type in the online adobe form is reflected in the respective context attributes of the dynpro Context of the view where "ur Interactive form UI element is".
that means you can yourself fill the contents of ur interactive form by working on the get/set methods of the context attributes.
Likewise you can clear the form by setting all context attributes to blank eg ""
interactive form has two imp properties:-
*dataSource
data source points to the node all whose context attributes will be made available in the interactive form
*pdfsource
points to the context attribute which will hold the pdf.
note that the type of this pdfSorce attribute will be binary.
if you still have doubts.
give me your gmail mail id. i 'll send a tutorial.
with regards,

Importing Mail Mailboxes after a clean installation of Lion

I have had to re-install Lion (10.7.3, a clean installation). I have now been able to download messages still on my Internet provider's server, but how can I transfer them from my bootable cloned copy of my entire system, made just before re-installing the OS?
Mail offers to export messages (Mailbox >Export Mailbox). Could I boot on my cloned backup, export each mailbox, then in some way import them into the new Lion system?
But my Mail's File > Import Mailboxes is greyed out, and Apple's Help ("Import mailboxes" doesn't work).
Or could I drag the old mailboxes from the backup, but where are they?
I have a Time Machine backup which will have the messages, but again, where? I mounted TM, tried Mail > Import Mailboxes and selected the Mail application. TM whirred for ages and I eventually had to force quit mail after the SBOD appeared.
Hoping for some ideas.

If you are installing from the DMG, I think so. However, once installed to a hard drive or flash drive as a bare bones bootable 10.7 system the only time an internet connection would be needed is if you have Software Update setup in System Preferences, or Quicktime setup in System Preferences for updating your software.
You can setup a clone software on that bootable drive such as Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner that can get you off the ground and running to verify that you aren't having any hardware issues with your system, instead of trying to eliminate software issues on a fully loaded 10.7 system.
Of course you'd want two clone backups of your fully loaded system before you tried that. A Time Machine backup of your fully loaded system can work too, as long as it is to a hard drive that is at least twice as large as the original.
The only reason to keep the DMG version of it around is if you lack the space or funds for space to have a fully installed backup. But then you are depending on the internet anyway!

Exporting mail from specific subfolders only via powershell

I am trying to create a powershell script to export mail from the specified subfolder of the inbox of an exchange 2010 mailbox to a PST. For example, if Bobs mailbox has a folder in the inbox called salesinfo and this needs to be exported to a PST,
but nothing else in the mailbox should be included, is there a way to do this in PowerSHell?
I have tried new-exportrequest -mailbox bob -includefolders '#inbox#\\salesinfo' -filepath \\server\share\bob.pst
and am getting nowhere fast. this gets folder structure for somethings out but no mail.... exporting the whole mailbox or even the entire inbox is also no good...
Does anyone know if there might be a way to do this?
thanks much
Derek

Hello Derek,
There are parameters that you can use to export specific folders however these days Exchange forums are getting attacked by third party product person so having lack of quality :)
You can use IncludeFolder or ExlcudeFolder switch to choose specific folder or exclude folders that you don't want...
For example for default folder (you can use #defaultfoldername#)...
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox Kweku -IncludeFolders "#Inbox#" -FilePath \\SERVER01\PSTFileShare\Kweku\LegalHold.pst
If you want to include multiple folders then here is an example...
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox Kweku -IncludeFolders "#Contacts#","rootfoldername/subfoldername" -FilePath \\SERVER01\PSTFileShare\Kweku\LegalHold.pst
If you want to include all subfolder of a root folder then here is the switch...
-IncludeFolders "rootfoldername/*"

Can you export a frame to PDF?

Don't know much about flash, but was wondering if there was a
way to take a frame (or multiple ones) and export them directly to
pdf or multipage pdf. I just want to have access to a frame to use
for other purposes (presentations, etc) without needing the whole
swf. Whether it's directly in Flash, or there's a third-party app.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
BZen

I've never seen software like that, but I have had to put
together PDFs with screenshots.
What I do is go to the frame I want on the timeline then
file-->export-->export image and export a jpeg at 300
resolution at "full document size." After I've got images from all
the frames that I want I use the OpenOffice program, it's like
Microsoft Office, but free, and I just paste the images in for as
many pages as I need.
Open Office has an file-->export PDF option that produces
very compact PDFs, even with images in them, (much better than some
of the older Adobe software I can make PDFs with) so I can e-mail
the PDF to myself and those interested in the project.
You can download OpenOffice or OpenOffice Portable easily,
just Google it.

Where is export mail option

Greetings.. i have a straightforward question.. is it correct that there isn't an "export mail" option in 10.6.8 ? Mail version 4.6
I have read various comments on forums about exporting mailboxes, sometimes there is mention of choose Export Mail but there has also been advice to copy the mailboxes to a usb then transfer to another computer.
I definitely don't have an Export Mail option available.. only Import and Copy. I would like Export tho .

Thank you for replying but i already knew to do as you suggest, and i had done much searching within the menus,there isn't an Export Mailbox option in the Mailbox menu ( and i was highlighting specific mailboxes).
Amongst references to taking accounts online etc and smart mailboxes in the Mailbox menu the more applicable ones i have are Rename, Delete and Archive. Also Rebuild which i don't want to get into. But no Export.
Under File menu i have Import and under Edit there is Copy. I pretty much know my way around things so this one does surprise me.
I don't think it was on my PowerPC eMac either ( i found an old mailbox file on a usb which i must have transferred) but i thought it might be on this iMac although by some standards it is becoming old.

Transfer a Mail Mailbox via internet

I have a co-worker who needs to transfer a single Mac Mailbox to me via the internet. How can he export a single mailbox and send it to me in a way that i can import it to either mail or entourage?

i was also looking for the option to archive a mailbox in apple's mail program.
in 10.4, select the mailbox in the mailbox pane and use "option" and drag the icon from the mail program to a finder folder. this will copy the mailbox file and it's contents to the finder window to which it was copied. a standard "file copy" progress window appears to show the task progress.
since this looked just like a standard folder copy from the finder, i went into ~/library/mail/mailboxes and found the same folder and contents that was copied to the desktop when trying it from within the mail program. so in 10.4, one can either copy out the mailbox in the mail program or directly within the finder...
from the previous posts, i think that mail in 10.5 probably has a menu command to make the archiving more obvious for people, which is usually a good thing...
