    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • How to import a contact into an existing address book? contact is exported from outlook.

    I have created 3 address books. I want to import new contacts into these address books selectively.
    I tried importing a contact that was exported from Outlook as a v card. It worked fine except that it created the new contact as yet another new address book!

    Importing contacts does create a new address book. Then just drag and drop the contacts into the book of your choice and delete the new book when it is empty.

  • How to export my contacts from outlook to mail ?

    I have bought an Imac and I have to migrate from my PC to the mac....everything is done excepting my outlook contacts that I have to export to my mail Mac.
    Could you please help me ?

    In Outlook Contacts, select the contact you want to send as a vCard or select all to send all, and then on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard.
    All contacts will be added to a new message created as separate vCard file attachments. Send the message to an email account you are accessing with the Mail application on your Mac.
    Create a folder on the Mac desktop or in your location of choice and save all vCard attachments received via email to this folder.
    Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder that contains the vCard files sent from Outlook.
    The contacts in your local Address Book will be synced with the .Mac online address book.

  • How do I import mails from Outlook into Mail on my McBook Pro ?

    Hi there,
    I'm running Outlook:mac 2011 on my MacBook Pro and I would like to import all of my mails (with all the folders) from Outlook:mac 2011 into Mail. I can't find the appropriate format neither in the export formats in Outlook nor in the import formats in Mail. I would like to use only Mail in the future but I can't afford losing all my actual mails.
    Thanks for you help

  • How to export from Outlook 2011 to Outlook 2013?

    As an Outlook user of old when I bought my Mac I was keen to try out Outlook 2011 for Mac which managed to import my Windows PSTs without any issues.
    However, now I have a Windows 8 machine running Outlook 2013 I want to go the other way and I don't see any easy way of doing so.
    I'm hoping that someone can tell me how I export all of my mail from Outlook 2011 to Outlook 2013
    without having to buy a 3rd party tool given the investment I've already made in the Microsoft platform.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As in my estimation, it’s not viable to export Outlook 2011 to Outlook 2013 Windows 8 without having any third party tool, somehow without any payment it is possible, by using any free trial version for limited file conversion you can try any reliable third
    party tool but for multiple or unlimited Mac OLM files conversion you have to make use of a third party tool. In the midst of various third party tools it’s too complicated to find out that, which tool is reliable for making this conversion.
    Or else can try manual procedure for this conversion, but its lengthy and no surety. Outlook Mac Exporter software is one of the reliable tool for exporting Mac Outlook 2011 items to PST file format. You also can try this tool and I am sure it will provide
    you desiring Outcome by exporting OLM files to PST file format.

  • Drag and drop files from Outlook move mails to delete box

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to develop a feature to be able to drag one or several mails from Outlook to my Java application.
    As Java doesn't recognize a drop of an Outlook mail, in my program, I assume that if it's not a known file type, it is a mail. (I know it's quite straightforward).
    When one or several mails are dropped I use a function from a plugin to get detail from the Outlook mails to import them into my application. In fact it import the data from the current selected mails in Outlook. This function is working perfectly when I use it without drag and drop (from a button 'Import' in the application).
    My problem is that when I use drag and drop, mails are imported correctly but sometimes (not always) they are also moved in the delete box of Outlook. I have done several tests to try to figure out what is the cause. I have used several versions of Outlook, I have dropped 1 mail and several mails a the same time, etc...
    Here are my tests results: it deletes the mails randomly but it seems to delete more often when my Java application isn't in full screen.
    What could be the cause?
    Another question: is it possible to configure my drop area to do copies only and not move? When you drag and drop you have a small symbol next to your mouse arrow. It is a '+' inside a square for copy and an empty square for move. My drag and drop does move by default. I could maybe avoid my deletion problem by changing it to copy?!
    Cheers.
    Edited by: Foobrother on Apr 16, 2009 2:46 AM

    I think I have fixed it. I still have to make more tests, but it doesn't delete the mails any more for the moment.
    In fact, when dropped item is detected as a file I do dtde.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);But if it's not, I just set a variable to say that it is an Outlook mail.
    So I have added the line dtde.rejectDrop(); to cancel the drop. And now it seems to work.
    Apparently, I didn't clean some stuff when doing an email drop and it still wanted to move the mail or something?!
    Anyway, thanks for the help

  • Migrating from Outlook to Mail

    Hi all,
    I purchased my iMac several months ago after years of Windows experience. As a trial of course, but now I am so happy with it that my once beloved Dell notebook running XP seems to have lost it's glory completely.
    So I will be going for a nice new MacBook Pro as my personal friend. It will probably arrive within a couple of weeks. I will have to migrate all my personal stuff to the new Mac. Which brings me to my question...
    How can I move my e-mail history from Outlook 2007 into Mail. I checked the import options in Mail, but have not found a solution.
    Any suggestion is very welcome.
    Kind regards, Hans.

    Hi Rich,
    I've been a faithful Windows user for many years. A couple of months ago I bought an Imac just because I liked the design so much. Also some friends were very enthusiastic about their Mac. Since then I have bought my 2 daughters each a Macbook (I am no longer bothered by them because their computer is failing again and have ordered my new MacBook Pro which will replace my business computer in a couple of weeks. Don't hesitate! Just make sure that you order VMware fusion at the same time, so that your Mac can support your current Windows applications if necessary.
    As far as your question is concerned. Yes, O2M works flawlessly. Just make sure that your pst.file is opened in Outlook's navigation pane. Itr will automatically recognise all available pst's and will ask you which one's should be imported. You will also be able to choose per pst whether to import mail, contacts, agenda items, or a combination of those.
    Good luck, HANS

  • Problem syncing old emails from Outlook to Mail using Exchange 2010

    HI,
    I recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Lion Apple Mail.  I am set up for email through my comany's exchange server.  When I set up Mail, all of my folders showed up on my Mail account successfully but it will only sync back the last 60 days of emails.  I know these old emails do reside on the server.  Is there potentially a setting on mail to adjust how back it syncs?  If not, can someone suggest a work-around.  I would only have to do this once.
    Thanks

    When transferring a locally stored message that was recieved a year ago to a server stored mailbox with an IMAP account - doing this today for example, the recieved date for the message is changed to today's date - at least with an email client used to access the account.

  • I am trying to move my mailbox folders from Outlook to Mail on my MacBook Air.. How can I do that?

    I am trying to move my mail folders from my Outlook on my Mac to the Mail App How can I do tha?. The export/import files are not the same

    The OS X version is in the Applications/Utilities folder.
    You would have to download the program for your PC off the Apple website. See here for information about the Migration Assistant from a PC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    I have never used the PC version, so I can't offer any more information on that.

  • Can not open Word 2010 docx in Word 2013 from Outlook 2013 mail

    Hello,
    I got a mail on outlook with a word 2010 attachment in docx format.
    Open this attachment with double click will show only the welcome screen with the text Open in protected mode.
    With process monitor I could that word 2013 in an endless loop and tries to create the registry key
    "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\Vprsu" in an loop.
    The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
    When I create this key manually there will be an loop to create the registry key
    "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\Assist".
    The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
    When I create this key manually. Word show the attachment immediatelly.
    Closing Word and open the attachment again will delete this registry key and the cycle starts again.
    Is there a hotfix available that will repair this?
    I think this is an error in word 2013 protected view.
    Disabling the protected view will help, but is not an good solution.
    Is there any other workarround?
    Screenshot from process monitor:
    Best Regards,
    Dieter

    This issue may occur if the default file associations for Word are damaged. You may repair Office 2013 to restore the file associations and check if that helps. Refer to the link below for more information. You may restart
    the computer once the repair is done.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-or-remove-office-HA010357402.aspx
    Note: Close all Office applications before you perform the repair.
