Import email archives from Outlook .pst to Apple Mail

I'm (finally) switching everything over from Windows to Mac, and want to know the easiest way to transfer years of email archives (sent and saved) from an Outlook .pst file into Apple Mail. I'm not using Entourage, but I have it, if that's the best conduit, but in the end, I want to use Apple Mail.

O2M formally known as Outllook2Mac or I believe there is an add-on for Entourage from Microsoft that provides for importing Outlook .pst files.
After importing the .pst files into Entourage, you can use Mail's Import Mailboxes feature selecting Entourage as the email client to import mailboxes/messages from.

Garbled mails after importing from Outlook 2011 to Apple mail

I want to migrate from Outlook 2011 to Apple mail. I found 2 ways to do this:
Copy mail folder by mail folder to a Finder folder as .mbox files, and then importing them into Apple mail
creating an imap account on Outlook, synchronizing mails with the imap server, and then connecting from Apple mail to the same server, thereby re-importing mails to Apple mail
With both methods I have the same problem: some mails arrive completely garbled, below is an example. It seems that mostly HTML mails and mails with attachments are affected, but there are also some ordinary text mails which look weird. The strange thing is: they all look absolutely perfect in Outlook 2011!
I have migrated my mail file from every computer I had since about 12 years, first some PCs, and about 1.5 years ago to a Mac. My suspicion is that mails dating back to the "pre-Mac era" are affected, because the latest ones are all perfect. Any ideas?

Thank you Csound1, this is what I did. Bought EMailchemy (which costs 30$, not 20$), but which worked perfectly. I had to do some manual work, because the mails will be exported from Outlook, you have to import them folder by folder into Apple Mail and then move them over to the mail account, but now everythig is perfect. I can only recommend this product.
Sorry about the price error, didn' realize it had increased, but still the best $30 you'll spend

Conversion from Outlook Express to Apple mail.

I just bought an IMac. Fine, but how do I transfer all my mail history and contacts from Outlook Express to Apple mail?
Rudolpf

Try using a search engine with the following: outlook express to apple mail
There are several programs that can do this for you.
On a 4 year old discussion, I read if you have the Outlook Express data file, you can directly import the data.

Why is email disappearing from my inbox in Apple mail?

I will open an email, read it then close Mail, or not. Either way, when I go back to Apple Mail to re-read the message it is gone. I've lost an extremely important message. I've searched Junk and trash, all of my accounts and the message is gone. This has happened with email coming from several sources.

Craig,
Where did you find this?
Is Settings the same as Mail Preferences?
I cant find the "Mail Days to Sync" option.

HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

Into what email program on the Mac?
Mail
Outlook for Mac '11
Entourage '04/'08
Thunderbird
Eudora
... etc
If it's going into Mail you'll need to do a work around, it's not a "straight" transfer unless you buy a 3rd party application called Outlook2Mac.

TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
T.

You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
4 - My contact details
/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.
Apple has an interesting page at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
I hope this helps.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
A lot more detail is needed to understand your issue...for instance:
Your specific BB Model
Your specific BB OS (all 4 octets)
Your DTM version (again, 4 octets)
Your PC PIM version
Your PC OS version
Good luck and let us know!
