How to Move All Emails from MAIL to ENTOURAGE

After 30 years married to Windows I have filed for divorce and am entering a new relationship with Apple via a new Black MacBook. (you may have heard the expression "once you've gone Black you'll never go back"!)
Although many Mac things are elegant the move from Outlook Express and Outlook to MacMAIL was disgustingly painful and amateurish. I now have 25,000 emails mixed up together in MAIL. (They were formerly neatly separated in Outlook Express into various accounts with sub-folders according to my various businesses and projects.) The Apple store that guided me was totally uninformed about the abiity to transfer intact account structures from Outlook Express and Outlook and so I am left with 10 years of filed emails all mixed together ... what a disaster in my first week of the new marriage!!
It appears to me that MAIL is not the serious business email program I need. I have heard that Entourage might be more powerful and flexible, and in fact is similar in functionality to Outlook. My HUGE concern however is the continuation of my pain in moving my emails again.
Can anyone assist me with credible advice on (a.) how to make the move (b.) is Entourage a truly business-strength program (c.) are there any programs to facilitate the transfer, and (d.) how can I get the file organization back again?
I have 6 separate accounts and own all my own domains through which I have my email services (incoming and outgoing mail is controlled by my servers).
This is my first real experience with Apple and it has been painful. While Apple seems truly superior in audio, video, music, graphics and "cool designer widgets" I have found that in a serious business environment in which email is a foundation of our businesses that Apple lags behind. I really hope to be able to embrace the Mac world totally but I am unimpressed about what I have found so far. I would be deeply grateful for any helpful comments.

Have you used Entourage's import feature?
It may not be exact since Entourage does not use the same account and filing structure as Mail but it will be close. There isn't any other way to transfer all Mail.app mailboxes and messages to Entourage that I'm aware of.

  • How to move multiple emails from Mail to my folders on the hard drive

    I would like to be able to move multiple emails at a time from a given mailbox to a selected folder on the hard drive in a format that I can subsequently read.
    I know I can move them one at a time in RTF. And either RTF or HTML would be fine (along with whatever attachments) as a format.
    But I can't seem to find either a command or a format that will allow me to do this.
    My goal isn't archiving -- I want easy access to these emails and their attachments. I just want to get them out of Mail and into the folders on my hard drive that have other documents with related content.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me.

  • How to move all emails from mailbox to an external email account in Exchange Server 2007?

    I have a user who is leaving the university in a few days. The user would like to forward all of their old emails from their mailbox to their G-mail account. Will setting up email forwarding forward all of the old emails to the G-mail account or just the
    new emails that are received after setting up email forwarding? If forwarding isn't the correct solution; then what is? We are running Exchange Server 2007.

    No, as you've suspected the forwarding will only affect new messages coming into the mailbox, not existing ones. Additionally, if you did get all existing messages to forward to another account (you could probably do it by creating a rule in Outlook) then
    the gmail account would show every single one of them as arriving now, and lose their existing send date.
    Probably a better option would be to export the mailbox to .pst, and then assuming the user has their gmail account configured in Outlook somewhere as something other than POP3 they can then open the .pst file on their machine and copy the messages over
    to their gmail account, which I think would also preserve the original information.
    You could do that via the server using Export-Mailbox as described here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb266964(v=exchg.80).aspx (note it has to be run from a 32-bit OS with the Exchange Management tools installed), or the user could just as easily do it themselves from within Outlook using the Export option.

  • How to move an email from user mailbox to shared mailbox using apps for office mail app

    How can I move an email from a users main mailbox to a shared mailbox using apps for office.  I know I can do this manually but i am creating an for owa/outlook that would be a button to move the item.  I have tried using ews but can only find
    the commands to move emails inside the users mailbox
    for example : 
    '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +

    Can I create a xml that would would do this?  Is there a way to do it using the EWS service reference.  I do not want to use import/export to do this.  

    yes I was able to make it work using Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data and writing it as a web API,  however i am unable to to authenticate the user if it is hosted on another server (without them retyping their password.  I assume that
    their is a matching java script version of what i am doing on the api side.  I am just stuck trying to figure it out.  the below code works as a Web Api if i could authenticate the user.    
                ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
                service.Url = new Uri("Ews url");
                service.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                //service.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                // Create a new folder view, and pass in the maximum number of folders to return.
                FolderView view = new FolderView(5);
                // Create an extended property definition for the PR_REPLICA_LIST property.
                ExtendedPropertyDefinition PR_REPLICA_LIST = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6698, MapiPropertyType.Binary);

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

    Hello,
    I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
    the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
    across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
    to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
    each user or if I have to d this on  per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

    Hi Trevor,
    To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
    [Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
    In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
    Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.

    Hope it helps.

  • How to select all emails from the same sender

    Hi
    I have been pulling my hair out with this one, what i want to do is select all emails from 1 specific sender and delete them, because my inbox is completely chocka, is this possible in mail.
    Cheers
    Karl

    There are multiple ways to achieve this. First, you could click the From header in the mailbox in question to sort by sender, then just click the first message from the desired sender and shift-click the last message. Second, you could do a search using the search bar, limiting it to the mailbox in question and searching only the From field using the buttons that appear when you start typing a query.

  • How do I forward email from website to entourage

    I bought a domain through google and had it forwarded to iweb. How do i get my emails (e.g. [email protected]) to show up on Entourage? And, how do I send emails from entourage under the name BABADOG. I've spent hrs. trying to find the answer and am very frustrated as I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

    Firstly you need to go to your Google account and set up your domain name e-mail account. You would probably need to select and password and e-mail name such as [email protected] and then this will be set.
    Then go to Entourage and set up the account there, so this means that you need the pop and smpt settings for the mail account, but these should be available from Google.

  • How do delete all email from a mail box?

    On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?

    This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

    Hello,
    I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
    I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
    all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
    next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
    have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
    Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
    would it be this:
    move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
    any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
    This is the coding I have so far....
    @echo off

    In Windows we would do this using Group Policy.  There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to.  Once set it will automatically do this for you.
    You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
    You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder.  The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running.  It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
    There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address  Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
    Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed.  This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
    Use GP folder redirection to do this.  For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum. 
    All of  this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/?src=search
    2. you will need a separate filter for each destinations folder. It is also better to use email address contains that email address. Less precise.
