How to convert Outlook PST files to Entourage MBOX

I am migrating over to mac after my windows system has been corrupted.
Luckily I had back-up of all my mails in a storage device. Outlook stored them as .pst files.
What I need to do now is take those .pst files and convert them to .mbox files for Entourage 2008.
I have gone through some steps reading online but the were of no use.
Please suggest some helpful solutions as i don't want to waste time blindly searching.
Thank you

An easy (and free) way to transfer email from Outlook (Windows) to Mail (Mac) is to use an IMAP account (e.g. Gmail) as an intermediary between the two. It's simple and reliable but can be a bit slow for large amounts of email. Expect over an hour per Gigabyte.
Enable IMAP on your email account.
In Windows, open Outlook and add your IMAP account.
Copy the folders (don't drag and drop them) from your PST file into your IMAP account. Drag and drop will move (not copy) your folders and you may lose mail if the communication is interrupted during the move.
On the Mac, open Mail and add your IMAP account.
If you want your mail stored on your Mac, you can copy it from your IMAP account to mailboxes created by selecting "On My Mac" as the location in the new mailbox dialog inside the Mail application.
Other alternative
You can also use the software approach to solve your problem.
Various softwares/applications/third party tools are available online.
One I am aware of is Pst Converter pro.
Hope this helps
thank you

Which conversion software can I download to mac to convert outlook .pst files to mac .mbox files?

Can anyone recommend software I can ddownload to an iMac to convert outlook .pst files stored on a memory stick to .mbox files for transfer to mac mail? I have mail files I set up in outlook I need to transfer to my new mac, but have no internet connection on pc, so can't download anything on to it and have had to export .pst files to a usb stick.

Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

How to Repair Database .pst file of MS Outlook?

I am unable to open my Outlook file due to corruption how to repair database .pst file of MS outlook. I was using Microsoft Outlook 2007 from last 2 years and everything is going well. But suddenly I have got an error message “outlook data file cannot
be accessed ” while accessing PST file. It was also suggested me to run scanpst.exe tool. I had tried to repair my inaccessible PST file many times with the help of Inbox repair tool. But this utility is unable to solve my issue, please suggest me how
can I repair my corrupted database.pst file without losing any information. Is there any way to restore all information from inaccessible PST file into new PST file to continue working as previously?

Hi,
My first recommendation is Scanpst.exe from Microsoft, but since you mentioned it didn't fix the issue, you can also try some 3rd-party tools to fix the data file. Please remember to keep a backup before performing any actions on the file.
In case the issue was caused by the corrupted profile, you can also create a new profile and setup an account in Outlook, check if you can open the .pst file.

It's recommended to download and install

A pst is a proprietary database file, so you will need something to convert it.

How to repair a .pst file?

Hello,
My colleague's Outlook pst file is corrupted and the file size is more than 17 GB. Scanpst.exe and PST Recovery Software could not recover the file. Is there any other way to repair it?
Best Regards,
Ammar Wasif

The only two ways to repair corrupt .pst files are: SCANPST.EXE and a third-party PST recovery software.
I suggest to read the given blog on WordPress:
How to deal with a corrupt PST file of MS Outlook?
By reading this blog, you'll come to know how to use SCANPST.EXE to fix corrupt .pst files. Other than SCANPST.EXE there is one more solution to repair corrupt .pst files, which is PST repair software. You can search some advanced third-party PST repair
or recovery software.
Thanks.

How to Convert Outlook to Lotus Notes ?

I'm looking for the way to convert my Outlook email archive (.pst) to Lotus Notes mail file (.nsf). I found that there is some commercial 3rd party tool doing this job which is too expensive for me. Is there any good and manual way to
convert .pst to .nsf or to move my mail data from Outlook to Lotus Notes ?

Hi andy
Here is a free utility to convert Outlook to Lotus Notes known as Nupgrade.exe. With the help of this tool you will easily transfer Outlook data to Lotus Notes. With this tool you will need to remember few things like:
• The Upgrade Wizard is not installed with the Notes client, by default. To obtain the Upgrade Wizard, perform a custom install of the Notes client and select to install the Migration Tools components.
• Confirm that Microsoft Outlook is configured on the workstation as "Corporate or Workgroup" instead of "Internet Mail Only"
• Confirm that Microsoft Outlook is configured as the default mail application on the workstation.
Verify which Outlook .pst files are linked to a profile on that workstation.
After that with the help of few easy steps you will easily convert Outlook PST to Lotus Notes:
1. Open a Command Prompt window by selecting Start --> Run and then type in:
cmd.exe
2. Change to the Notes client program directory. For example:
cd program files\lotus\notes
3. Enter the following command to launch the Upgrade Wizard:
Nupgrade.exe 3
4. Click "Next" to continue past the Welcome Screen.
5. Select your profile that is linked to the .PST and .PAB files to be migrated and then click "Next" to continue.
6. Specify the type of Upgrade Method to be performed, either "Express" or "Custom", and then click "Next" to continue.
Note: If you select "Custom", on the following screen, you can specify which items that you want to convert to Notes. However, if you select "Express" (the default upgrade method), all .PST files and .PAB files linked to the selected profile will be converted
to Notes.
7. Click "Next" to accept the defaults for Personal Folder Conversion Options. By default, the Upgrade Wizard will convert the contents of .PST files into a Notes database based on the default mail template (e.g., Mail6.ntf). The Notes database created by the
upgrade wizard is created in a Mail folder below the Notes client data directory.
8. Select "Finish" to begin the conversion process when you reach the begin upgrade screen. Once the Upgrade Wizard begins the conversion process, you will need to supply the password for the Notes User ID.
But if your MS Outlook account is connected is “Internet Mail Only” then you will need to use a third party tool like
Outlook to Notes Converter which easily convert Outlook data to Lotus Notes file format. Because a right third party tool is always guarantee for secure data conversion process. Read more:

I would be more inclined to blame Vista in general than the version of GW -
I've used the Advansys product with GW8 with no problems. GW8 has been
tested with Vista, but I have no idea if any of the conversion utilities
have. Can you just do it from another PC that isn't Vista?

Time to upgrade to GW8!

Although i have seen a few programs (that are platform specific) that will embed a small jvm into an exe with your class file, it is generally excepted that you cannot create an executable file using java. The JAR executable file is probably the closest your going to get

How to convert java class file version without decompiling

Hi,
Oracle R12.1.3 i am having illegal access error while try to access the class file version Java 1.3 uses major version 47,So how to convert the class file version without using decompiling.
Current java version is 1.6.0_07
Is there any tool or API for converting class file version?
Thanks,
Selvapandian T

Beside this I wonder where you get your error from since AFAIK 12c comes with java 1.6.
Well wonder no more!
OP isn't using Oracle 12c database.
They are using Oracle R12.1.3 - which is the E- Business Suite.

How to convert a class file to exe file and how to cteate a class file to d

how to convert a class file to exe file

Hi Bhaskarq,
Hi,
It is not at all possible.
But it is a really worst method.
Please go through it.
This is a very common question asked in the comp.lang.java newsgroup. Its often useful to have an
executable application when deploying your
applications to a specific platform, but remember to
make your .class files available for users running
Unix/Macintosh/other platforms.
Microsoft provide a free system development kit (SDK),
for Java, which includes the jexegen tool. This
will convert class files into a .EXE form. The only
disadvantage is that users need a Microsoft Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. If your target
platform is Win32, you can either redistribute the
virtual
machine, or raise the level of your system
requirements, to include Windows 98, or Windows 95
with
Internet Explorer 4. Systems matching these
requirements will already have a copy of the Microsoft
Java Virtual Machine installed.
Note : You must specify all of the class files your
application needs (except for standard java packges)
as a parameter, so if you have third party libraries,
you'll need to include them as well. You can use wildcards * though, and you don't need the original source code.
Also please see this Forum which will give a good idea

I hope this will help you.

Can I transfer the outlook pst file from one mac to another

Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

All,
I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC. It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.
When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting. If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display. The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself. I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
Anyone know how???

PS, You might take a look at my related post.

Ann154,
You were correct again. I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8. It looks great and it prints great and life is good! I am going to go make a donation.
Thanks again for the help. I marked this thread as answered by you.
