I moved to Apple Mail from Outlook. It is very slow.

I use a Mac Pro (2.8GHz Quad Core Xeon) with 10GB of RAM. I have a SSD system drive with 209GB free space. I type ahead after about 40-50 characters when creating a message. It takes 60-90 seconds to open a reply. Absolutely nothing else on this system runs like this. I use Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office and they charge along just fine. Any suggestions?

I do not know if i am able to explain properly or not here.

  • Please help, dead end How do you import to Apple mail from Outlook express?

    I have a client with an old Mac G3 tower running OS9 and Outlook Express 5.06. I have read all of Apples Mail help and searched for docs and the discussion board. It appears that since the Mac Pro Intel won't run classic I have to some sort of transfer via another app. I have actually found better info on doing this from a PC but no successful suggestions to do it Mac to Mac. I have moved the Microsoft User Data over, tried directly from Apple Mail, tried loading Mozilla and pulling it in there, no good. How do you do this successfully?

    I think I have figured this out, looks like I might be able to import to Entourage then to Mail, anyone tried this?

  • Revert back to Apple mail from Outlook 2011

    I migrated my PST file from Outlook 2010 to the Mac Outlook 2011. In doing so I have discovered that the synching does not work. Is there any way to move my Outlook 2011 back to Apple mail and still retain my folders and emails? I have data that is several years old and need to retain the information. I'm not as concerned about the calendar as I use a 3rd party calendar program. Using Outlook 2011, my contacts and notes do not sync and from what I understand there is no immediate fix. Any thought would be appreciated!

    I want to know the easiest way to transfer emails from Ms outlook 2011 to apple mail.
    I am stuck in this situation from a very long time and haven't found any solution yet.
    Do not want to opt for Imap transfer coz a have thousands of mails to transfer.
    Please provide me some smart and easy solutions.
    Thanks in advance.
    You need to have information about the process to get mbox files from olm files which can be easily accessed over apple platform.

  • Moving email from apple mail to outlook

    Is there a way to move saved emails in folder on apple mail to outlook for MAC  Thanks Randall.

    Hi,
    I take it you meant export from apple mail.
    If so there is no export option available... Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, have a import option for apple mail but no export.

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

    Just set up my new MBP17 with Boot Camp and now I need to move my old mail over to the dark side and get it into Outlook. I've got the address book over already, just need to move messages. Tried to do this via Eudora or MailSmith but can't even get the messages from Mac Mail to Mac Eudora, so I'm stuck. Any ideas?

  • Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 email migration

    I recently decided to shift from Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 because i was not very fond of the preferences used by Apple Mail.
    However, it was later on that i realized the migration process from Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 wasn't as easy as i thought i would be.
    Now i urgently need to get my important emails transferred, how do i go about it.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hey David,
    So it would become easier for me to answer your question if you answered any of the following queries-
    Do you have:
    Any IMAP accounts?
    Any Exchange accounts?
    Any POP accounts?
    Any email stored locally ("On my Mac")?

  • Export mail from outlook 2002 for Entourage 2004 - how to?

    Hi.
    I've tried for some time now to export my mail from outlook 2002 for Entourage.. Can't say it's been easy, and I still haven't figured it out.
    Can anyone help me with this..
    and .. oh yes.. I'm a newbie at mac.. got it for only about a week or so now..
    please bare with me..

    I don't use contacts but I found this document that should help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302268
    However it does specify Outlook 2003 or later is required to sync contacts so that will be an issue for you.

  • Good idea? . . . Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume

    Read the below quote from Mac Performance Guide. Is it a good idea? I know a bit of DOS, so I am used to command line commands but even after after Lloyd Chambers explanation, still not sure what is going to happen?
    ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
    The reason I want to move my Mail folder out of the home directory is because I plan to have a SSD as my boot drive and the home directory is on the boot drive, correct?
    "Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume
    This trick lets you move your Mail folder out of your home directory onto your data volume. I’ve used this technique for years so that I can forget about having to back up my home directory (default location for Apple Mail) and simply back up my one data volume: Master. The same trick can be used for any similarly irritating program that insists on storing its data in your home directory, rather than giving you a choice (a few programs are too brain-dead for this to work). Programs like iTunes let you choose where to put your music; use that option.
    Your Apple Mail folder is in the Library folder of your home directory.
    The trick requires starting Terminal. If that makes you uncomfortable, stop here! You are going to make a symbolic link.
    0. Quit Apple Mail, and make a backup of your mail folder.
    1. Copy the Mail folder to the top level of your data drive (or elsewhere, then modify step 3 appropriately).
    2. Rename the original mail folder to Mail.old as an additional backup.
    3. Start a Terminal window and type:
    ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
    This makes a symbolic link to the folder Mail on the volume Master (type the name of your volume, and use quotes around it if the volume name contains a space character). The resulting file Library/Mail is a tiny file that says “look over there on /Volumes/Master/Mail instead”.
    From here on out Apple Mail won’t know the difference! Launch Apple Mail and verify that it worked. If you encounter problems, simply copy your backup back into place."

    I just put the entire /Users/myaccount on another drive.
    Unlock Account control panel - advanced options -
    /Volumes/volname/Users/myaccount
    Move the whole enchilada instead of just mail. Definitely want to get Safari or web browsers cache which does a lot of I/O also. maybe put /Users on 2nd SSD or 10K VelociRaptor. Or just use your 640GB drive for /Users

  • Archiving E-mails from Outlook 11

    In Windows versions it was possible to Archive E-mails from Outlook into one acrobat file. This was so useful and was a great way to clear out old projects and e-mails that might be needed at a later date. I have spent a small fortune in moving from Windows to MAC with also purchasing Office and Acrobat Pro to now find problems such as this is very annoying .
    I see in the Adobe Video a link to combine E-mails into a PDF. But its not there on my MAC. Will there be an update to address this very useful feature or am I missing something.

    I wouldn't hold your breath waiting. Many of us have been trying to get the Acrobat team to give more feature equity with Windows for years. The Acrobat team is mainly focused on the Enterprise market, and they haven't yet learned that more Enterprise customers are moving to the Mac. Maybe by Acrobat 20!
