Garbled mails after importing from Outlook 2011 to Apple mail

I want to migrate from Outlook 2011 to Apple mail. I found 2 ways to do this:
Copy mail folder by mail folder to a Finder folder as .mbox files, and then importing them into Apple mail
creating an imap account on Outlook, synchronizing mails with the imap server, and then connecting from Apple mail to the same server, thereby re-importing mails to Apple mail
With both methods I have the same problem: some mails arrive completely garbled, below is an example. It seems that mostly HTML mails and mails with attachments are affected, but there are also some ordinary text mails which look weird. The strange thing is: they all look absolutely perfect in Outlook 2011!
I have migrated my mail file from every computer I had since about 12 years, first some PCs, and about 1.5 years ago to a Mac. My suspicion is that mails dating back to the "pre-Mac era" are affected, because the latest ones are all perfect. Any ideas?

Thank you Csound1, this is what I did. Bought EMailchemy (which costs 30$, not 20$), but which worked perfectly. I had to do some manual work, because the mails will be exported from Outlook, you have to import them folder by folder into Apple Mail and then move them over to the mail account, but now everythig is perfect. I can only recommend this product.
Sorry about the price error, didn' realize it had increased, but still the best $30 you'll spend

Conversion from Outlook Express to Apple mail.

I just bought an IMac. Fine, but how do I transfer all my mail history and contacts from Outlook Express to Apple mail?
Rudolpf

Try using a search engine with the following: outlook express to apple mail
There are several programs that can do this for you.
On a 4 year old discussion, I read if you have the Outlook Express data file, you can directly import the data.

How can I import E-mail from Outlook 2011 to Mail

Asatoran wrote:
...I've email in Apple mail and I want export from it to Outlook 2011...
I did a little testing and all I can come up with is the following:
In OSX Mail, select your message and click File, Save As.
Format is Raw Message Source.
Be sure to have a .eml extension at end of the filename.
Open Outlook and drag the message file onto your Inbox (or whatever folder in your Mail.)
Notes:
Outlook must have focus when you drag the message in. IOW, click on Outlook to bring it to the front before dragging the message in.
You must Save As each message individually. Selecting multiple message in OSX Mail, will combine all the messages into one file, which Outlook import as just one message. (And import very badly.)
Of course, it's obviously gonna be a pain importing messages individually, but you asked.
BTW, just to make sure you're fully warned, getting your data out of Outlook later is nearly impossible. Try the Export function in Outlook for Mac and you'll see what I mean. (It's like Hotel California. You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave. )
I second that emotion

Entourage 2008 not importing from Outlook 2011

The import wizard in Entourage 2008 is not functioning properly. I am trying to import all the emails, sub-folders like spam, outbox and a few that I have made manually from Outlook 2011 to Entourage 2008. But the Import hangs up after few seconds of processing and nothing is imported in entourage. Is there any other way of importing the emails from outlook 2011 to entourage 2008?

Import email archives from Outlook .pst to Apple Mail

I'm (finally) switching everything over from Windows to Mac, and want to know the easiest way to transfer years of email archives (sent and saved) from an Outlook .pst file into Apple Mail. I'm not using Entourage, but I have it, if that's the best conduit, but in the end, I want to use Apple Mail.

O2M formally known as Outllook2Mac or I believe there is an add-on for Entourage from Microsoft that provides for importing Outlook .pst files.
After importing the .pst files into Entourage, you can use Mail's Import Mailboxes feature selecting Entourage as the email client to import mailboxes/messages from.

Can't import from OUTLOOK EXPRESS 5 to Mail

I was trying to import contacts and e-mails from OUTLOOK EXPRESS and somehow all my information seemed to be erased from OUTLOOK.
When I try to open it up it doesn't have all my emails and addresses. It's as if it just got installed. I don't know where to look for this info in my hard drive.
Called APPLE and they told me that it could be that it got corrupted and deleted.
I have years of information in there. Any suggestions?

Outlook 5 -> Mail
You can't go directly from Outlook 5 to Mail but you can do Outlook 5 -> Entourage -> Mail and that works very well
Your mail in Outlook 5 (I am assuming you're running Outloook Express 5.x under OS 9.2.x) is in the MUD folder. You'll find it in Documents > Microsoft User Data > Identities > Main Identity
If the Main identity is empty do a search for "Main Identity" and see if there are any other folders of the same name
If you can't locate it, restore it from a backup, import it into Entourage and then into Mail

Moving from Outlook 2011 back to Mail. How?

I thought I would like to use Outlook 2011 for the mac. It is great software, but I would prefer to move back to the native OS X Mail app. It just makes syncing so much easier with my devices.
However Outlook only produces OLM files... How do I get messages back over to Mail. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solution.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Luckily I ran Mail and Outlook in parallel so I don't need to convert my email files, but now I can't get rid of Outlook as my default calendar. Does anyone know how to make iCal the default?

Revert back to Apple mail from Outlook 2011

I migrated my PST file from Outlook 2010 to the Mac Outlook 2011. In doing so I have discovered that the synching does not work. Is there any way to move my Outlook 2011 back to Apple mail and still retain my folders and emails? I have data that is several years old and need to retain the information. I'm not as concerned about the calendar as I use a 3rd party calendar program. Using Outlook 2011, my contacts and notes do not sync and from what I understand there is no immediate fix. Any thought would be appreciated!

I want to know the easiest way to transfer emails from Ms outlook 2011 to apple mail.
I am stuck in this situation from a very long time and haven't found any solution yet.
Do not want to opt for Imap transfer coz a have thousands of mails to transfer.
Please provide me some smart and easy solutions.
Thanks in advance.
You need to have information about the process to get mbox files from olm files which can be easily accessed over apple platform.

Can't import mail/address book from Outlook, old drive, old OS

Recently my wife's G4 died and we bought another. We transferred my wife's the old drive which was running OS9 (I know, she was just hard to convert)and added it to the new G4 as a secondary drive and also as a means of transferring the data. She ws using Outlook in OS 9 and it and the microsoft <user> files reside there (on her old drive). As a result, as good as Mail is in importing from other apps, it won't import from Outlook unless it's running.
To run it, I have to launch Classic but after doing so and starting Outlook, it will now not 'see' the email and address book files...even though at the finder level I can see the 300 megs worth of emails in the Microsoft documents folder....
Argghhhhh! This is business stuff and I'm desparate...can anyone think of a way to get at least the address book imported into Mail, even though I didn't think to output the entire list as a comma file before the old drive died?
I would be most grateful for any help.....!!

This is a very common issue ... so much that a specialized solution exists. I had to deal with it when I converted from the evil PC world. Go to littlemachines.com, look at O2M. It worked very well for me ... but:
The caveat is: it runs on a PC ... intended for one-way-one-time migration out of the evil empire. So, if your Outlook data (.PST file) currently lives on a Mac, you would need to get it on a PC ... and I've never tried that, so I don't know if it works.

Import outlook 2011 contacts into mail

trying to move from Outlooks 2011 for Mac into Mac Mail and really struggling.
Mail doesn't seem to import anything but 'mailboxes' and doesn't seem to read any of the export formats Outlooks offers. (Outlook says tab delimited, Mail claims to want a CSV)
I can't even figure out how to DISPLAY contacts in Mail. If I know the email address it will autocomplete, and it says add sender but doesn't seem to ask for a name.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

You want to export your contacts as a vcard if that is an option, then import them into Contacts, not Mail. Mail use Contacts.
To display Contacts in Mail, click New Message, and then the blue + sign at the far right of the To field.
