HELP! Can't import archived mail from Apple Mail

I just moved up to a VERY nice MacPro. I archived mail on my G5. When I go to import it into Mail on my VNMP, it refuses to import. No real explanation, just says it couldn't import. Huh? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks

Hi Ann,
I know Flip4Mac has updated the plugin, but it still
could be causing you the problem.
Navigate to HD/Library/Quicktime
Drag the Flip4Mac component to the desktop and
restart the Mac.
See if that makes any difference.
That was the problem. I can import video into iMovie from iPhoto again. So...now the Flip4Mac components are sitting on my desktop. Do I uninstall Flip4Mac? Or is there another option for using it without messing up my iMovie software?
Thanks for the help!

In Yosemite, I try to import mail from Apple Mail 8.0 into Thunderbird 31.20.0, but it says "No mailboxes found"--what should I do?

In Yosemite, I try to import mail from Apple Mail 8.0 into Thunderbird 31.20.0, but it says "No mailboxes found"--what should I do? I've tried all sort of other approaches, but none works. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! Ken

Try copying the whold SD card to your desktop by holding down the Option key and dragging the SD card icon about 2 inches away from the where the card sits on the desktop. This should trigger Mac OS to make a copy of the whole SD card onto your Macintosh's desktop. Once it finishes from there, eject the SD card. Reboot your Mac then open iMovie without launching any other programs whatsoever. Go to the File Menu Import Movies from File... And point it at the copy of the SD card and see if it crashes again.

How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
Thanks

There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
Peter

Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

Convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011

Hello,
need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?
thanks.

Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)
add account to Apple mail and Outlook 2011
Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails
are there.
There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail
that you want to convert and your mails are transferred within no time.

Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings. have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
All help gratefully received.
Thank you,
Michael

I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they are right any more..
thanks again

Can't import my mailboxes from Tiger Mail into Leopard

Hi everyone,
I bought a new MBP and I'm now in the process of carefully importing my mailboxes from Tiger mail, on my Tiger backup HD, to the new mail program. I have about 20000 messages saved since 1999, sorted by project etc. Each time I select a batch of mailboxes to import, I get a failure message when it's almost done, saying that some messages couldn't be imported. This is very frustrating: my e-mail archive is possible the most important collection of files on the computer. I would hate for it to become messed up/corrupted.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Alex

Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.

Import Mail from Apple Mail to Entourage Failed

HI all: Got frustrated with Apple Mail due to addressbook and Ical. Just don't like the format. So did file-import from apple mail- and nothing came over. How else should I be doing this?

Ok this is filed under Thunderbird, so I will assume your references to Firefox are in error.
You appear to have added your account as POP. Try adding it as IMAP.
File menu (Alt+F) >new>existing mail account
now delete the old pop mail account, once everything arrives from the server.
Tools menu ALT+T) > account settings and use the account actions button at the bottom of the list.

My font sizes change when I send e-mails from Apple Mail.

My font sizes change when I send e-mails in Apple Mail. Sometimes the font style changes, too.
This is unacceptable, as I use my e-mail for business applications.
Any suggestions for a fix?
Thank you.

Before you do that I must warn you that also with PC is the same.
It's not the hardware nor the software that makes the difference, because e-mail must obey to certain rules that is RFC.
Maybe what you are looking for is a message that looks like a web page.
You can find something of that kind here.
http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
But again, the recipient e-mail could have little differences from the original that depend on many variables
If you are curious enough to know a little more about electronic mail you can read this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email
P.S.
IMHO you already have the best in Hardware and software. It would be a pity to give away that gem

Can I recover E-mails from Apple Mail when the E-mail account is closed

My company E-mail account was closed today and I had anticipated the messages would be stored by Apple mail for offline viewing. It was an IMAP account with the preferences set to so that the mail was never deleted and all messages were to be kept.
However, all the mail has disappeared with no action from me. Is there anything I can do to recover this information?
I did not "back up" these messages as I thought they would be left in the mail program for viewing and that I could later archive them.
Thanks in advance

No idea what happened, then. I suppose it's possible that they deleted all your messages before removing the account, and that Mail synced the change before getting cut off. Why they would do that, since just removing the account would also delete all the messages, without the need for an extra step, I don't know. Perhaps they wanted to try to ensure that you didn't have copies of those messages for some reason?
In any case, if you have a recent backup, you ought to be able to restore those messages to a local mailbox. If you use Time Machine, you can choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu while in Mail, and it'll allow you to navigate through all the stored backups of your messages and restore them.

Can no longer access Gmail from Apple Mail in OS 10.7.5

Apple Mail stopped playing nice with my Gmail account.
I have IMAP enabled. All accounts are online. But there's no communication between Mail and Gmail. Whenever I try to update my mail, I get the following error message:
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.gmail.com” on port 993 timed out.
Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): gmail
It's almost as if Apple Mail thinks I'm offline.
What can I do?

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
imap.gmail.com
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

Cannot send mail from apple mail or outlook- HELP- tried everything on Google- nothing works!

Getting really disheartened after the thrill of getting a brand new iMac!
I cannot get my email to work on Apple Mail or Outlook (which I pay for) at all!
I can get the messages but not send any- and I have honestly tried EVERYTHING to get it to work- all port changes etcetc
Someone has mentioned you can change a smtp relay number which may be set to 0 as a default with Mac!
I have been a PC for years so I am not sure what to do here and there is no tutorial that makes any sense on google.
Someone please help me before I burst into flames!
This is a work account and not being able to send emails doesnt help me.
Ps- the email still works on old pc laptop and my android phone.
Thanks

Can't send talktalk emails from apple mail.

My talk talk inbox on the apple mail programme is stubbornly empty and I can't send emails from it. My aol account works fine. It's a POP setting account I think and the incoming port number is correct at 110. Don't know how to check the outgoing port which I gather should be 587. How can I repopulate my inbox and send emails from the laptop again? I can from my phone and iPad.

No, there have been no problems here. Run Connection Doctor, and tell us what it reports, particularly about the SMTP?

Can Thunderbird import *.msnbak files from MSN Mail?

I would like to use Thunderbird Email software to read in the msnbak file that I exported from MSN Mail. The msnbak file contains all my MSN emails stored locally on my hard drive. Can Thunderbird read in a msnbak file?

Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.
