How can I import old email files from Simeon into Apple Mail?

I used to use Esys Simeon for PC for mail at work. I recently found my Simeon email files, which I thought I'd lost. If possible, I'd love to import them to Mail, to have as part of my general email archive.
The files come as a set of nested folders. The lowest level of folders each contain a set of separate numbered files each of which contains one email in plain text (complete with all headers). The folders also contain a number of other '.dat' files with info about the folder contents.
I'm on Mail 4.5
Any ideas?

How do you know it's plain text? File name extension ".txt"?
Message Handler?) type file system to mbox
Not likely. MH would be text, .dat suggests binary. "Mh" in "mh_cache.dat" may stand for "message handler", but it's not MH.
Try Emailchemy (test it, don't buy it until you know it works). You might have to change file name extensions from .txt to .eml. Or try to find some documentation of Simeon's file formats and directory structure. I doubt it will be easy to find a converter. Given your description, I'd probably use AppleScript.

How can I add multiple email addresses from spreadsheet into email?

how can I add multiple email addresses from spreadsheet into email?

I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
any ideas would be good
thanks

How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How can I import an mp4 file from my video camera into my iPad ?

I'm totally new to this iPad world. I would like to import a file from my video camera to edit it in iMovies. I tried adding the file through iTunes, and it appeared to transfer the file to my iPad, but I can't find any way to open the file, not even to play it. Any help would be appreciated.

The time should already be shown on the status bar, but you can't add the day and/or date to it - if you would like to have them then you coul leave feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to copy an attachment from an email then you can't do that directly from the Mail app. If the email is still on your provider's server then you should be able to read the email on your provider's site via a browser on your computer and save it from there directly on your computer. Otherwise you will need to copy the file from the Mail app to another app on your iPad via the 'open in' function. Do you have an app on your iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy ? How you then copy the file to your computer will depend upon what the app that you copy it to supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, dropbox etc

How can I Import old lbi files to DW8 - solved

A fast search here found me nothing so if someone knows of a
post feel free to point me there.
A year or so ago my DW4 started crashing to desktop everytime
I opened it, I haven't done much webwork the last few years so it
wasn't that important but now I just purchased DW8 and if I can't
get the old library files to work with the new version I am in for
a world of editing I don't want to deal with to re-create them all
and update every page that has one (groan).
I bet if DW didn't crash to desktop I could have exported the
old one and imported to DW8? But I can't so don't tell me to do
that :). I MAYYYYYY be able to do it on an old laptop that I think
it still worked on so that is a last resort, but how can there not
be some way for the modern DW to scan for old site files that
existed? I don't get it.

DW8 and DW4 were identical in the way that they create
Library items.
> There used to be a library window that let you click
insert or you
> could drag & drop the files into a page...
There still is. It's in the Assets tab of the Files Panel.

How can I import old Safari bookmarks from a cache

I had a bit of data disaster when upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Lost my home directory, and now lost the backup too aaaaahhh.
An older backup has what looks like Safari bookmarks in /library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks
The files all end with a ".webbookmark" suffix
when opened in TextWrangler they appear as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Name</key>
<string>Spanish Tortilla Recipe</string>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/recipes/tortilla.htm</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Can I import these into Safari somehow?

You could try pasting them into the current Bookmarks.plist and save with Textwrangler. Not sure if it will work but that may be all you can do. Run plutil after to check for errors via terminal. Relaunch Safari.
Current bookmarks:
User/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

How can I delete old email addresses from the "From" drop down menu when sending emails?

I have some old email addresses, I think may be aliases that show up in the drop down box in the "From" in email messages that I send.
They don't show up anywhere in the Preferences/Accounts panel at all.
Very perplexed at this one.

From the Mail menubar, click Window and select Previous recipients. In there you can delete old email contacts.

How can I delete old email addresses from auto complete?

Hello to everyone on this great forum,
I have been having trouble trying to find out how to delete the old typed email history. For an example, if I go to send a picture to Bob, I start typing Bob and it comes up with 3 old emails of his. Not a big deal except it's hard to keep track of what emails are current.
In other words, after deleting the old emails in the contacts it still shows up when I start typing a person's name.
Any help would be great,
Thx
Jon

you cannot do this unless you restore your phone as a NEW device.

How can I import my Google Contacts to use with Apple Mail?

Google's GMail user interface has become impossible to use. Its most important and useful features are either hidden or have been removed. I want to change to use Apple Mail to retrieve email from my Google account, to answer that email, and to compose new messages.
To compose new messages, I need to be able to use my Google Contacts (created one by one as I've used GMail in the past). I could either "set things up" so that Mail would access my Google Contacts or I could import my Google Contacts to a Mail address book. How do I accomplish one or the other?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi David C. Murray!
There are a couple of methods for accomplishing this goal. First, you could always export your Google contacts in vCard format and then import them into Contacts on your computer:
Contacts (Mavericks): Export and import contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15080
The other option is to set your Google contacts to automatically sync with your Contacts app on your computer:
Contacts (Mavericks): About Contacts accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15070
Contacts can manage your contact information from other accounts, such as Facebook and Google. Just add those accounts (choose Contacts > Add Account), and you’ll have access to all your current contact information from anywhere.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
