Import entourage files into mail

I just upgraded without I guess reading the fine print. I used Entourage for my e-mails and can't open it anymore with OS X Lion. How can I import my thousands of mails and archived stuff into Apple Mail?

I haven't been able to get a 100% successful import from mail.app (2.0) into Entourage 2004 (latest update). For example, if I import a mail 2.0 account with 2000+ messages (sorted in various folders and subfolders) into entourage 2004, random messages aren't imported, missing attachments, etc.
Also, I've never come across anyone saying this CAN work because Entourage 2004 doesn't understand the new .elmx format.
But, using this tool...
http://www.cosmicsoft.net/emlxconvert.html
...and following these instructions...
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2005/11/archiveemlx/index.php
...I've been able to successfully import mail 2.0 accounts/message/mailboxes into Entourage 2004 (though, takes a little manual grunt work, but works none the less).
Regards,
Kristin.

  • Import emlx files into Mail

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to Yosemite - and also recently had a trojan that gave me lots of pop-ups - don't know which of these things was the cause,
    but this weekend my Mail had problems connecting to my e-mail provider - one.com. I talked to their chat support - and they said I used the wrong settings,
    so following their instructions I switched from pop3 to IMAP. Then my email worked again.
    But it also deleted my entire e-mail history since 2008! With thousands of important work mails!
    plus I haven't run Time Machine in like two years (yes I know...) . So it's been a pretty ****** day.
    Anyway i bought a software uFlysoft Data Recovery that have found lots of these deleted e-mails.
    It also recovered them and put them into 10 different folders with 5000 emails each.
    So there seems to be hope.
    But now I can't import these emlx files into mail again. Tried creating a mbox folder under Library/Mail - pasting and importing back. But no success there.
    I guess because the files aren't structured in way that Mail can read? If anyone could help me with this that would be absolutely fantastic.
    Thanks,
    George

  • Importing eml files into Mail

    Hi,
    I have thousands of emails that I need to import into Mail (v 2.0.7) for archival purposes. We want to start using Mail as the default e-mail client and all of our current e-mail messages are in "eml" format which can be read by Entrouage. We need to have access to these old e-mails for refrence, etc.
    I have tried going through the Mail import option with no luck. It appears to only want to import mbox files. I understand that Mail uses mbox files which-in turn-contain emlx files. This is so spotlight can search them.
    So my question is how do I convert the eml files to emlx files?
    And once they are emlx files how do I get them into Mail?
    Thanks!
    Dual 2.7 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I go under file/import mailboxes.
    Then I am given the options of:
    Microsoft Entourage
    Outlook Express
    Claris Emailer
    Netscape/Mozilla
    Eudora
    Mail for Mac OS X
    Other
    I select "other" and then click continue. I then navigate to the desktop and find the folder that has the .eml files in it, and click "choose."
    I then get a dialog box saying "Error, No valid mbox files were found." I click "OK" and am left with a dialog with a blank list of items to import. This is where I am stuck.
    Now I've downloaded "emlx to mbox converter" but the files I have are .eml not .emlx
    I have searched the web in vain for how to convert .eml to .emlx. Simply changing the suffix on a file does not do it. I've tried that and then used the emlx to mbox converter and ran it through the Mail import process—no go.
    So where I am now is a folder full of .eml files that I need to convert to .emlx files. Once I have those I can run the emlx to mbox converter.
    Thanks for any guidance you can give.

  • Can't Import Entourage Folders into Mail

    I began setting up Mail to see if I like it better than Entourage. I went to import Entourage folders and, when I select Microsoft Entourage and click Continue, I get a warning that says "Error: Unable to locate Microsoft Entourage mailboxes to import."
    I don't know where they are, so I doubt if I moved them. And, there is no option to locate them. So, what can I do to import the folders?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    One thing to make sure when you are importing is that Entourage has to be running when you do the import.

  • Can't import mbox file into Mail anymore

    Hi all, I am getting nowhere with this issue...I have archived my Apple Mail inbox and then turned around and imported it into Apple Mail (so as to have it on the local computer, not the network) many times in the past. It no longer works. I got to File>Import Mailboxes. I get the window "Import data from:" and my choices for file formats are "Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format." I first chose "Files in mbox format" as I have in the past. I hit "Continue." I go to the folder where I keep my archived mail. I click the containing file for my most recent export, "Inbox 5.mbox." This opens a new window listing "Items to import" that I may check off. Every item on this list is an old mbox folder. My new export folder doesn't show up. If I go back, open the containing file I mentioned above, "Inbox 5.mbox" and click the actual mbox file, I get the message, "no valid mbox files were found."
    I've found other threads referring to this and some say the solution is to pick the "Mail from Mac OSX" data type from the import list, the problem is, this is not an option for me!
    If anyone can help I would appreciate it, this is really frustrating...

    We have users who have been importing collections of old pine and alpine messages who are having problems since switching to SL.
    I discovered that alpine has been saving to MBX format, so users ende dup with collections of mixed mbox and MBX files. The "file" command can tell you which file is which format. There is an old program called "mailutil" that can be used to convert MBX to mbox (available in linux "uw-imap" packages). It is also in MacPorts imap-uw, but the latter is not maintained and appears aimed at older versions of MacOSX. There is also a FileImport plugin for Euroda_OSE that seems to handle more of the .mbox files than Apple Mail does, but still has problems with .mbox files from pine for the period 2002--2005. The file command indicates the problem files have long lines. I tried splitting one of the files
    using mh inc, but it had 1000's of messages and a large fraction have the long lines problem.
    Can you read the archived messages using "mail -f <filename>"? What does "file" say?

  • Importing .pst files into mail without a PC

    Hello to all those lovely Mac users,
    I've got an Outlook .pst file on CD. How can I import mail messages
    b without having access to a PC???
    The only OS X email client I'm aware of that supports .pst files is entourage 2004 + pst importer for entourage. I, however, only have Office X which is not supported by pst importer. Nor is Office 2004 Test drive.
    Thunderbird for OS X is a dead end as well.
    Please help me!

    You should probably take a look at one of the following options:
    • ol2mbox (free): http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox

  • How to import .eml files to Mail.app?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find a less tedious way to migrate from Gmail to iCloud. Trying to drag and drop (or simply move via mail.app options) results in errors. I've been able to move over about 10000 of my 60000 messages so far, but it's been a long process disrupted by the aforementioned errors. Therefore, I've decided to simply download the Gmail messages. Unfortunately, they are in .eml files. Obviously I can open them in mail.app if I ever need them, but it would be much easier to import them into mail.app so they are on the iCloud server on not on my mac. This is good because it saves room on my mac, and also makes searching for old messages easier.
    So my question is (and I've been searching all over for this), is there still no way to import .eml files into mail.app? Are there no programs that can at least convert .eml to .mbox?
    A workable solution would be a time (life) saver and greatly appreciated!!!

    In case anyone runs into this issue in the future, here is how I moved Gmail messages to iCloud.
    1) Download an app for mac called Backup Gmail. Proceed to backup all your Gmail messages to your mac by following instructions given. The files will be in .eml.
    2) Download emailchemy from the link above. Proceed to convert .eml messages to .mbox.
    3) Open mail.app and go to File > Import Mailboxes. Follow on screen instructions. Depending on how many messages you have, this can take a while. When done you will see a folder called "import-1" in your mail.app under On My Mac. At this point your Gmail messages are able to be used in mail.app and if you are happy with this, don't go to step 4. In step 4 we will move the messages to your iCloud server.
    4) This is where things get tedious and tricky if you have a lot of messages. Go to each folder in your "import-1" folder and select all messages. Then drag and drop them either in your iCloud inbox or any designated folder in iCloud. It appears that your sent messages are mixed in here, so it's not a clean solution, but the best one I've found so far. This process can take a long time if you have a lot of messages and you might run into some errors, but it works.s
    If anyone has an easier solution, please do share!

  • Import .icbu file into iCal

    My Apple ID is linked to an e-mail address which is deleted by provider, due to move to another town. My Calendar and Notes are in iCloud under the e-mail address which has been deleted. I made an .icbu file but cannot import the file into Calendar under a different Apple ID (which is the secondary e-mail address of my Apple ID of the deleted e-mail address).
    Any way to import the .icbu file into Calendar with the content not linked to my deleted e-mail Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance, Hans.

    When I Import the .icbu file into Calendar it shows all my entries but in the Calendar which does not sync with iCloud.
    Right you just imported the data, and the data was imported.  If you want it to sync you have to turn that feature on.
    I cannot make a new password since Apple ID does not accept my date of birth... and Apple ID cannot send any notification to my deleted e-mail address... nor does it make use of my secondary e-mail address in Apple ID.
    You should not need a new password.  Just deleteing the email address you used for your AppleID does not change anything about your AppleID account.  You would just need to login and change the account email address to your new one.  When did your AppleId stop working?  Or had you forgotten it.  You could try contacting Apple's customer service, but I doubt they will be able to do anything.  If you have really lost access to that AppleId then you might just have to make a new one and start over.  Sorry I know, not a great answer.
    I made secondary e-mail address with the Apple ID of my deleted (primary) e-mail address
    So you went back to the same service and recreated the same user Id that was already deleted?  So you have the same email address again?

  • How to Import XML file into SAP B1

    Dear All,
    I have a scenario like,
    I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
    Thanks,
    Thanga Raj K

    Hy folks,
    I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
    There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
    However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
    So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or  it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
    Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
    Could you please help me with this subject!
    Thanks a lot,
    Denis

  • Problem importing ics files into iCal

    Importing ics files into iCal is the problem, but first here is the background on why I'm trying to import.
    I have an iMac and iPad, and recently changed my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4S.  Having got the iPhone 4S I have now set up all my devices to use iCloud.  In moving iCal to iCloud an extra calendar was created "automatically" in iCal, called "Me".  This "Me" calendar contains a partial duplicate of my main calendar, which is called "My Calendar".  In fact, some of the events from "My Calendar" seem to have been moved to "Me", and some have been duplicated.
    It seems as it I now need to merge the "Me" and "My calendar" calendars to get back to where I was.
    I have tried to export one of the calendars and then re-import it into the other.  The export seems to work fine, but every single time I try to re-import the ics file iCal crashes at the end of the import process, and the import is not completed.
    Can anyone help?  This has been driving me absolutely crazy today!
    I even tried manually moving events from one calendar to another, but they reappeared.  I think this was because my iPhone/iPad were re-syncing via iCloud and overwriting the changes I had just made.
    I don't mind if I end up with one calendar with duplicates as I can remove them with iCal Dupe Deleter.
    Or if there are any other alternative solutions I'd love to hear them!
    All help greatly appreciated!
    (P.S. Is it just me, or is Apple software slowly getting as unreliable as Windows used to be?  I get more problems with software updates now than when I first got a Mac about 8 years ago!)

    Not a great answer but I dragged the attachment either to the finder - app - ical or the icon. It placed it on the calendar. I clicked in and accepted. So, no auto populate. Need to drag and drop. So glad I paid the 20 bucks to upgrade to 10.8

  • How can I import a file into my Windows Phone 8.1RT App?

    Hi All,
    I'm running into a bit of an issue associating my app with a custom file type.  Users create a file using my app and upload it to their OneDrive for sharing.  So I then want to give the users the ability to download the file from a share link and
    have that file open automatically in my app.  I've got the appropriate declarations set and file type associations, but I'm getting a file access exception when I try to open the file.  Whats the best way to import a file into my app?  Here's
    the code I've got so far:
    protected override async void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args)
    var path = args.Files[0].Path;
    var name = args.Files[0].Name;
    StorageFile newFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
    await newFile.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
    The path comes back as
    C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\microsoft.microsoftskydrive_8weke\LocalState\OpenWithTempFolder\e68c261-db3b-472d-a8b7-93427450\File Name.extension
    and the exception is
    Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
    Clearly I'm trying to access the file in an inappropriate way, so what's the best way to get the file into my app's local storage?

    You have the StorageFile in arg.Files[0] already. Just use that rather than getting its path and then trying to create a new StorageFile from it.
    var path = args.Files[0].Path; // <= Path is unnecessary and unhelpful
    var name = args.Files[0].Name;
    await args.Files[0].CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
    See my blog entry Skip the path: stick to the StorageFile for more details.

  • Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

    Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
    I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

    Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
    They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.

  • Looking for a Notes app that I can import CSV files into?

    As the title says, I'm looking for a good notes application for my iPhone that I can import CSV files into. I have tried both Appigo and Notespark, but I can't easily scroll through them, as I have 2,000+ notes. Is there any app that I can import my notes into and also scroll through quickly? I'd like something that works similarly to how you scroll through songs on the iPhone/iTouch, with the column on the right where you can skip to songs (notes, in this case) that start with a certain letter.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tx Tar Heel,
    I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
    Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
    Hope this helps!
