Exporting mailboxes and addresses to entourage

HELP! Yesterday Entourage crashed & i've lost all data and had to re-install. Fortunately, have backed up a lot of stuff in Mail. But I can't export it back to entourage. I've tried changing .emlx to .eml. Entourage still won't recognise it. Any other suggestions? IF I resolve this, I shall abandon Entourage forever!!

This ought to get you started:
From:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/import_export/another.html
"Pre-Tiger versions of Apple Mail.app can be imported with Entourage's importer. However, starting with Tiger, Apple modified the way Mail stores its email messages. In pre-Tiger versions, Mail stored its messages in standard .mbox files; however, to enable Tiger's Spotlight to search them, Mail now stores its messages individually as .emlx files, which can be found in
<your user name>/Library/Mail/<name of the account>/<name of the folder>/Messages.
Entourage 2004 was released roughly a year before Tiger came out consequently, it doesn't take into consideration the changes that were made in Tiger. This explains why the import function does not recognize .emlx files.
To change Tiger Mail.app messages from .emlx to .eml files see these instructions:"

Exporting mail and address book to PC?

Hi everyone,
My wife recently got a PC for work (She wanted a Mac, but what can you do?). We have a Mac in our home office. The Mac is the most up-to-date with e-mail and addresses. She would like to export all the addresses and contact info from the Mac to the PC, and synchronize or export all the old e-mails to the PC. How can we do this?
The PC came with Windows XP, Outlook, and Outlook Express.
Thank you,
Rob

Regarding messages, this isn't always easy since Outlook and Outlook Express don't use the mbox format.
Something to try. There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts that can be downloaded from the following link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use is Archive Messages (Mail) which moves messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
Try exporting the messages as plain or rich text files for import into either Outlook or Outlook Express.
Regarding Address Book contacts, probably best to export all contacts as a tab-delimited text file for import to the Outlook or Outlook Express Address Book.
Try Address Book Exporter.

Need to recover mailbox and address data from a G4 PB OS 10.3.9 to 10.4.4

My powerbook G4 HD just crashed. I am generally very dilligent about backing it up. However, I didn't really understand that I needed to export my address book and mailboxes in order back those up. To make matters worse I have been traveling extensively and haven't backed up my drive in a few months. Was able to easily mount the G4 PB drive in target disk mode from a G5. I am able to copy files and and can see the entire volume. I can even launch both the Mail and Address book apps from the G4 drive. How can I effectively rescue my address book and my email data files?

Copy the whole Library folder from your user account, but do not replace the whole folder in your new system. Just for backup reasons it will house a lot of your old settings.
Mails are in /Library/Mail/Mailboxes
Addresses are in Library/Application support/AddressBook

Mailboxes and address book missing from restored program files

I re-installed TB 3.1.20, after having to re-install Windows Vista, with all other software and data. I then restored my TB files from a NTI Backup NOW file (when I back up files I include the program files for TB so I don't lose mailboxes and the address book). However when opening TB neither my mailboxes or address book are there. This system has worked in the past, so I trusted it would this time as well.
Any idea how to find and restore them?

Your mail and address book is stored in your Thunderbird profile. The profile is separate from the Thunderbird program installation.
Check this article to locate your profile folder.

If you do have a backup of your profile folder follow these instructions to restore it.

Exchange 2007 Search Export-Mailbox AND OPERATOR

I am looking to do a search for keywords using Export-Mailbox cmdlet. It seems like there is no way to do a AND search for two keywords (For example "BUDGET" AND "FINANCE").
It seems like the only way we could get partial results would be to put both the keywords in quotes as s ingle keyword with a space (for example "BUDGET FINANCE"). But this doesnt serve the purpose.
I have tried to use Outlook Instant Search / Search folders and OWA search but all yeild different results as it seems like the search function is not consistent across all these 3 features.
For example, the search folders it seems like do not search in the content (attachments) but Outlook online mode folder does / OWA does search etc. / I am not able to search in online folders using Outlok as this is a journal mailbox and has 500K messages
with managed folders and there does not seem to be a way to narrow down the saerch only in a specific folder and its subfolders.
Has any body else come across a situation to do a discovery for keywords with an AND operator ? Is there a way to do this using native tools?
TIA
Prakash

So, you want to do the phrase searching for “BUDGET FINANCE”, not the multiple keywords that spread in a mail?
Which cmdlet line do you use to perform the search?
“You can specify keywords and phrases to search message content. You can also use the logical operators AND, OR, and NOT”

Exporting Mail and Addresses from an IMAC, running OS 9.1.x

My wife, a teacher, has an old Imac, using OE 5.0 as her mail client. She wishes to buy a shiny new MacBook, but has asked me how to import all her messages and contacts from the OE client. I am stumped.
I have seen in the mail program where you can import mail from Outlook Express, but will it work with such an antiquated program?
She doesn't have to do anything fancy with these emails, but she wants to just have them for reference. I believe there is an export feature for contacts, but not for mail messages.
Any help would be appreciated and used. For her, not being able to get these things is a dealbreaker.
Thanks in advance,
John C.

OS 10.2, Tiger, allows you to import email messages from OS 9. The age of Outlook Express is not an issue here. However, I don't know if OS 10.5, Leopard will, as Leopard doesn't recognize OS 9 applications. In addition, my experience with the Intel Macs is that they also don't recognize OS 9 applications. Your wife may be out of luck unless some Intel Mac, Leopard user advises that the mail transfer can be done.

Executable or batch script for end users to export mailbox to PST

We are in the process of taking over a small firm and proceeding with manual migration of mailboxes from this firm , currently we do not have full access to their environment and having a hard time depending on admins of their organization dealing over
to exporting mailboxes and then importing them back to our exchange environment, my idea is to rather provide a executable or batch script to user's of their organization get their mailboxes exported out directly from end users so that we do not
have to depend on remote organization's admins for every single user out there . is there a batch script or some executable code that end users can run to have their mailbox exported out directly ?

HT2486 How do I export a mailbox to address book from Mail

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.

Switching from Entourage to ical, mail, and address book- duplications?

I am tired of the slowness of Entourage and was thinking of switching to all of the native mac programs. Any suggestions or comments on whether this is a good idea or not?
Also, will all of my information be duplicated. I have about 3 gigs of information and I don't want to needlessly store it if I don't need to. Can I get some advice on where to find and extract that information from the entourage program so I am not eating up disc space unnecessarily.
Thank you.

Three weeks ago I switched from Entourage and Palm Desktop to Apple mail, address book and ical. It was a tad painful because I ended up with a lot of duplicates as I had email and some contact info in Entourage and several thousand contacts in Palm Desktop.
However after a couple of solid nights sorting out the duplicates all the contact info for each person is now in one place.
Word of warning though when you are checking address book entries make sure you keep backing up the changes (File - Backup address book) because for some inexplicable reason a couple of times all the entries in address book vanished.
Also the check for duplicates option in address book might be great for some but for me it created contacts that had their addresses and phone numbers duplicated several times.
After initial teething problems (getting used to the different programs) I am now pretty happy with the changeover. I am ecstatic to not be seeing the constant Entourage error message of 'your database is damaged and needs to be rebuilt' which entourage kept throwing at me (even after repeated rebuilds).
I have a Palm Treo and Address Book and iCal sync fine with that as well (after installing the conduit).
You'll also find in mail that you can't do as much snazzy formatting as you could with Entourage (ie numbered lists and bullet points) but hopefully Apple will address that in later updates. In the meantime if I'm desperate for formatting I write the email in rtf and paste it across complete with bluet points.
Sorry to drone on but wanted to give you some moral support.
Oh by the way the entourage data is stored in Home folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office 2004 Identities - main identity - database (almost need a compass and flashlight to find it). To be on the safe side burn it to a dvd just in case and then trash it and all it's little friends (rules, lists, signatures and the other main identity folders.
Good luck

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Any way to import entourage 2004 info (messages and addresses) into Mail - after installing Lion?

I have just installed Lion - Entourage 2004 nop longer works (ok, I should have checked!). Does anyone know if I can set up Mail to import all my Entourage info (account details, emails and addresses)?

The thing is, sometimes when I send PDFs it's fine, and sometimes she gets it and it's a jpeg and embedded ... not consistent at all ... I didn't assume for sure it was on my end, but without sitting at her computer and looking at Outlook, which I'll do the next time we meet, it's hard to know what's going on.
I do know that sometimes when I attach a PDF, the whole thing shows up in the body of the email (like it's embedded), and sometimes it's just a PDF icon attachment, and so I know that's something happening on my end before I even send the file, but can't for the life of me figure out what.
I like Mail a lot. But it does lack features that Outlook and Entourage have that I like. For instance being able to send an attachment to the main recipient only, and not the CCs and BCCs, which I used to so that a client knew I was sending the final high-res file to a printer, without having to send it to them. And I never had attachment problems when I used those programs, but maybe that's simply a function of using PC to PC programs.

Import and export of international address

Hello all,
I need help with the international address version. I want to import greek data to our system using the ELM, because of the duplicate check already in place in our ELM.
Has anybody experience with that?
Then I also need to export the international address again via a campaign with the channel data export. Is there an easy way to achieve this?
Or is it possible to configure the serach result list for accounts/contact persons that I can see and export the information there directly?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
Right click on the DCs which you want to get in the IDE and select Create Inactive Project.
If it prompts for the dependencies select them.
Once this is done u will be able to see the project in the WD perspective.
Now right click on the DC and select Development Component -> Build .
then Development Component -> Deploy.
If its there are any errors related with hard references deploy those DCs first and try.
