How to export Apple Mail local folders to Outlook 2011

I just got Microsoft Outlook 2011 and need to import the (many) emails I have in local Apple Mail folders. What's the right way? I can't seem to drag the folders to the desktop (the way I can in Entourage 2008), and when I "archive" a folder, it makes a file (within a folder) that Outlook doesn't recognize as a valid MBOX file for import. What's the right way?
thanks,
Mike

After reading that, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
I know; I don't like to depend on a Microsoft product but Entourage's way of keeping everything in a single Database file, which gets corrupted all the time (and corrupted worse when it is allowed to "Repair" it!) is making me nuts. I thought at least Outlook keeps everything separately. I don't like Mail (because I hate iCal and I like the way Entourage's calendar works together with its mail), and I don't know of an open-source client that handles Exchange server. I'm kind of stuck - maybe I'll stay with Entourage and let Mail keep my old Mail archives (I need to store everything for searching, and currently have about 20 Gigs of email). If there are any alternatives, I'd love to hear them.

Apple mail local folders on iPod touch

I am considering purchasing an iPod Touch and was wondering if I would be able to have my Apple Mail Local Folders on it and if so would they sync with my desktop files?

If the accounts are IMAP or Exchange accounts, the folders will be duplicated on the iPod. If a POP3 account they will not be.

How to export apple mail to Windows outlook 2013

Is there any possible solution available to export all my data from apple mail to windows systen in outlook 2013.
There are tons of emails that I have managed to save in the past 12 years (believe me there are a lot of them with multiple attachments) and I do not ant to loose any one of them. I Just want to move them to my windows system in outlook 2013 for which I could not find any particular solution.
On the other hand outlook 2013 is unablr to sync all my emails via Imap. It shows multiple errors which I am not able to figure out. PLease suggest any simpler method which posses minimum hassles. Thanks

Watching this long discussion I couldn't resist myself to share my view on this topic. Once in a while I too had the same problem and I had to transfer a **** lot of emails from Apple Mail client to Windows Outlook. Imap failed and was of no use for some stupid mail crashing reason. I searched for manual work-arounds and posted many queries on various mac forum sites (including this one). I received many responses as solutions for manual process but none of them could transfer my emails from apple mail to outlook.
I knew about the email converters but never wanted to pay a single penny for them but unfortunately I had too. I bought this apple mail to pst converter mentioned by TON456 and after archiving apple mail data and moving it to windows system, it took the application only three clicks to convert the email file format to the desired one that outlook can import (i.e, .PST). I saw no point in buying the tool but its the fault of email client makers for not providing the proper import/export means (seems kind of mean to me, as they need us to stick to their client only). Big companies like apple and microsoft should figure out this situation and provide free solutions.
On the other hand if Imap crashes (as mine did too) then users like us have no options other than email converters. Though they are costly but there is no help to user in pointing out those solution posts.
To the thread starter I would suggest to go with Imap mail configuration but if it still doesn't work then using the apple mail to pst converter is only way left. Thanks.

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

How to export Apple Mail Email Addresses..

I am going about an email-gathering process in order to analyze addresses I want to use for future marketing.
One resource of qualified leads is my 5 year old Gmail account which has all my correspondence 'banked' -
so I want to extract and put into a list form (spreadsheet, csv) - all of the sent-to and received-from email
addresses that i have accumulated. Since Gmail doesn't natively export email addresses as a list, I must
go through the process of either a POP or IMAP download to an email client. I decided to set up Apple Mail
with an IMAP configuration for the purpose of offloading all of my gmail into Apple Mail. That is currently in
progress - I am running the "sync" feature at the moment - figure it'll be a half-day or so to process through
it.
Then comes the question, which i forgot to consider - and I am not sure about this because i normally use Thunderbird...
is there a way to export all of the Emails from the Apple Mail folders once they've downloaded from Gmail - into a format
that can be 'read' by an email extraction app - i.e., .csv, or tab delimited, etc... I see stuff about "Address Book" being
exported, but nothing specifically referring to the email addresses themselves.
Hope this question makes sense and thanks for any advice or second opinion on whether there's a better way to do
what i'm trying to do.
Thanks
Mike

Hi, thanks for that info - I have this app called Email Extractor - it may read the .emlx files -haven't been able to find much documentation....been a year or two since i toyed with it andi won't know til the IMAP downloading to the email client is done before i can try it... will probably take half a day before this synch process completes as it has about 15,000 emails to process...
As for the data, I basically just need the email addresses. It would make life simpler if there were a converter that would just transform the .emlx to .csv in order for me to run the list through the Extractor parsing' app. I was kinda hoping i could export from Mail to .csv or something this app can readily read...
Thanks again,
Mike

How to convert Apple Mail data to Window Outlook?

I am lookin for an absolte solution for Apple Mail to Windows Outlook Conversion.

The only way that I am aware of is to purchase and download either Microsofts version of Office or Outlook Stand alone for Mac. Or if you prefer you can download Open Office that is FREE and is Oen Source and has all the features of Microsoft's
http://www.openoffice.us.com/openoffice/free-open-office-download-yahoo.php?pk=8 45397
To just pay for Outlook is a little steep for most users. I think you will find using a WEB Based e-Mail will work much better for you like GMail or YahooMail rather than having it on your machine use there servers and they have many more features.

Export Apple Mail Emails & Sub Folders to Outlook 2011 for Mac

Hello,
Could somebody please tell me how I go about exporting emails and the subfolders I have created from Apple Mail over to Microsoft Outlook 2011.
Can you also please advise if I am able to add these emails into an existing Main Identity?
Any help would be much appreciated

INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
- click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
- click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
- click on “add file”
- select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
Now here comes the trick
- select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
- then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
Select “mbox”
- click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
- click on save
And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
Hope this helps.

Export Apple mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac

Hi everyone,
I don't like the serie Mail/iCal/Carnet d'adresses from Apple, reason why I bought Outlook 2011 for Mac.
I succeed transferring all my contacts to Outlook.
I try now to transfer all my mails with their categories to Outlook too but I don't succeed. I read some discussions on this forum but they are obsolete as they were with snowLeopard and Outlook 2011. Would someone have good news for me and find a way to transfer all the mails with their categories from Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac ?
It would be nice and to receive a positive answer.
Thank you for your help
Renée

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

How to Export Non-Administrators Local GPO for import on a different PC

How to export Non-Administrators Local Group Policy and import on another PC?
All articles for exporting local GPO say to copy the C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy and C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers folder to another PC however that only works for changes done to the "Local Computer" or "User" (if you
alter the SIDs to match), respectively. It doesn't work to import Non-Admin Local GPO.
There are several requests for this you can find when searching and no solutions provided.

Hi,
For manage local GPO, we could take use of the LocalGPO tool included in the SCM.
LocalGPO allows you to manage the local group policy objects (LGPO) on non-domain joined computers. You can use LocalGPO to backup the LGPO from a stand-alone machine. You can also use it to apply the settings from a GPO backup to other computers, this includes
GPO backups created by LocalGPO, SCM, or the Active Directory Domain Services GPO backups created with the Group Policy Management Console.
Here is a good article talking about it:
SCM v2 Beta: LocalGPO Rocks!
And here is a thread for reference:
Using LocalGPO.wsf for standalone PC's

How to Forward Apple Mail

Can you tell me how to forward apple mail? I need a more powerful junk/spam screener that Yahoo.com provides....
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Not sure I understand correctly:
Apple Mail is a desktop email client; Yahoo is an online email service.
Is your problem that Apple Mail does not filter junk mail well enough? And you want to open your Apple Mail in Yahoo Mail?
Or are you currently getting your Yahoo mail forwarded to Apple Mail and opening it on Apple Mail?
