Import email from apple mail not working

I have a simple applescript which imports emails from Apple Mail into filemaker
tell application "Mail"
          set theSelection to selection
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          content of theMessage
          set the clipboard to content of theMessage as text
end tell
This works in the Old Apple Mail in 10.6 but Lion changes everything doesnt it. This is not working in the new Mail 5.1. It will import the first message in the string but not the HIGHLIGHTED message which may be in the message string of 3 or 4. I want it to set theMessage contents of the highlighted message. Does anyone know how to select the highlighted message in a string - sometimes called the selected message. Thanks

  • Move emails from apple mail to windows outlook

    Hello Everyone,
    I have recently bought a windows laptop as majority companions in my office have windows only. I also have mac book pro having apple mail as my e-mail client. I work in a small company in which e-mail is the life blood of our company. So now what I need to do is move all my emails from apple mail to outlook that is present in windows laptop. I haven't found any answers or discussions regarding this topic on this forum site. Can any one please help me get over with this problem or atleast guide me or direct me to the forum where solution for this query is posted.
    Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you.

    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 logon with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.

    Sorry but this didn't work. I have around 4000 mails in some what 45 folders. Using IMAP i can transfer only one file at a time, that will take me days to transfer that amount of files.
    Are there any other options available...???

  • Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

    I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
    I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

    I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
    I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
    I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
    I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
    Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

    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.
    Cheers

  • Apple mail not working after upgrading to maverics

    I installed maverics on my mac a couple months ago. I noticed that all of my accounts in apple mail  have not worked properly since. first of all, i cant tell if mail is retrieving my email anymore. there used to be a spiral next to the account letting me know that it was checking and now there is no indicator that it is working or not. many times my mail is delayed hours as I can see from the time that mail gets my email vs when my gmail or other account actually gets it.
    sometimes apple mail says that the accounts are not connected to the internet but my wifi is fine. after trouble shooting the network settings i can get it to work but what a pain. Is there a way to reset my apple mail settings or my network settings to make apple mail work like it did before maverics? Please help. My mac info is below:
    osx 10.9.1
    processor: 2.5 ghz core i5
    memory: 4gb 1333 mhz ddr3
    mac hd
    any help is appreciated thanks

  • Mail thread in Apple mail not working after updating to Yosemite

    I just upgraded to Yosemite a couple of days ago and I noticed that my mail threads are not working properly. Instead of having threads categorized by the subject line, I have thousands of emails in just ONE thread that are completely irrelevant to each other. I have deleted my email accounts completely and reinstalled them from scratch and they still have the same problem after my emails are dowloaded from my IMAP server. I have also tried to rebuild the email account and the same problem happens. I get around 700 - 800 emails a day so the thread function is extremely crucial for me to be able to track all of my emails, but there is no way to do it now when everything is bunched together.
    Anyone else running into the same issue? I am using a third party host (Bluehost) as my hosting service, but this problem never came up on the previous operating systems or my IPHONE. Those still work just fine.
    Thanks

  • New Verizon pop server, Apple Mail not working

    Hi...
    I got the email about the new pop server in the spring and gave it a whirl.  On my ibook, Apple Mail says it connects just fine, but I never received any of the mail I know is in the inbox.  I sent test messages to myself, and they never came in.  So I went back to the old setting which worked.
    Yesterday, I got another email from Verizon saying I'd better switch to the new pop server because the old setting was going away.  So I switched to the pop server and gave it another try.  Same deal.  Apple Mail diagnostics say connectivity to the pop and smtp server is fine, but no mail comes in.
    Anyone have any idea why my incoming mail never arrives?
    I haven't tried it on Windows systems.
    Thanks
    Mark
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had HUGE problems moving over to POP server on my iPad. The "trick" is to first DELETE your existing account, and then go back through Settings to Add Account ...  
    Also, for both Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server, set Use SSL to "ON"
    Performed the same upgrade on my iPhone, which went through very easily.
    Once I did the upgrade to the iPad, I did NOT need to update my mail server on my iMac desktop. 

  • How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

    Hi,
    Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
    How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?
    CT

    You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
    Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
    Copy the body of the message.
    Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
    Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
    Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
    Click 'Replace All'.
    Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to a single space.
    Click 'Replace all'.
    Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.
