Import/export - Windows Mail to Mac Mail

Does anyone know a way to import Windows Mail mailboxes in Mac Mail.
I managed to import Windows Mail in Thunderbird, but when I export them to mbox it seems like Thunderbirds is only exporting one mail from each mailbox.
Is this the only way to Export/Import from Windows to Mac Mail, and what am I doing wrong?
It's important to say that Windows Mail and Windows Outlook/Outlook Express is not the same thing. I'm using Windows Mail.

I am trying to import outlook .olm file to Mac Mail, it is not working

I am trying to switch my mail to Mac Mail I have 8 GB of data from Mac Outlook. It saves as .olm file I am trying to make this work???

Use the clients and temporary folders (mailboxes) on the mail server as a form of a conversion utility.
Launch whatever mail client can read whatever client-specific archive format containing the source mail messages, access the archives from that mail client, select and then move the messages from the archive to temporary folder(s) you've created on your mail server.
These "temporary" folders are used to avoid getting your archived mail mixed in with your current mail; you probably don't want to dump a hundred old messages into your current inbox, for instance.
Launch the target mail client, select the tempoary folder on the mail server, select-all the messages in the folder, and transfer (drag) the messages back from the server.
Using select ranges or seelct-all to select ranges of messages, you can transfer buckets of mail messages in bulk with a drag operation between folders.
Your transfers will be limited by the storage quota on your mail server, so use whichever mail server you have with the largest quotas as your "conversion" mail server.

Unexpected Quits in multiple applications at Save or Import/Export window

Hello,
For several months I have Apple and Adobe applications as well as Firefox, randomly quit when bringing up the Save, or Import/Export window. (I have copies of the error logs.)
I thought I had it fixed since I haven't had any issues for some time after running Disk Utility and Onyx. But, I posted the same issue a couple of months ago and the solution (at the time) was to keep the desktop clean (see "Crashing at Save" by katorama) . So, after I cleaned up my desktop and only had two aliases to my folders I needed, all went very well until now.
However, what didn't help is that yesterday we had three power outages and my iMac did an auto-restart after each. Since then, the problem returned and nothing seems to fix it.
I feel like this issue is haunting me! I was a tech for many years and normally can fix the issue. But, I can't seem to figure out the reason behind these crazy unexpected quits. Seems I've run out of tools in my toolbag.
TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS:
– I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk and Onyx to clean out caches. After this, it seems to run fine, then a different application will have the same problem.
– When I create a new user account, there is no response when I double click the hard drive (it does not open) and when testing an application for the quit issue, it happens again.
– Also, when I restart into Safe Boot the problem appears to stop initially, but can appear intermittently again.
I suspect it may be a RAM or even a Quartz issue? But, honestly, I have no idea.

Any suggestions welcome!
thanks!

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

Cannot send mail in Mac mail

On my Macbook Pro I can receive mail in Mac mail, but the sent messages sit in the Outbox. I have tried Synchronize Gmail and Connection Doctor will not allow me to connect. The only server that comes up is Gmail. Any suggestions???
Have an appointment at the Apple shop, but not until Thursday next week??? Thanks Mel

Hi Haggie
Had a similar experience but couldn't work out why macbook was working and imac not. I hate verification with bt. Anyway, tried your method and as you say eureka! Did have imac plugged in before and put it on wifi to try your fix I will try plugging broadband back in to see if that works and will post back but at the moment just enjoying the moment!
Just to say a big thank you for not only sorting the problem out but equally importantly posting the answer! Too many people sort out their problems without letting other people know how!
Many thanks

Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

Hi guys,
Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mel

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.
try this...

How to transfer mails from mac mail to outlook?

Can anyone explain to me how to transfer e-mails from Mac Mail to Microsoft Outlook?

I just went the other way - Outlook to Thunderbird to Mac Mail. I lost some notes in some folders.
My fall back position was to set up an IMAP account and use Google sync to Outlook to move my mail into a Google account. Then on the Mac I set up a IMAP account to download all the mail. Once I had it on the Mac, I copied the IMAP folders into Personal folders on Local Machine. I then deleted the IMAP account and reverted to using my 'usual accounts'.
Hope this helps you a bit!

Incoming AOL mail in Mac MAIL Inbox disappears after a week

I´ve setup my AOL e-mail accounts in Mac MAIL. Receiving and sending mail via my AOL accounts works fine, but incoming mail will stay only for one week in the Incoming mail folder of Mac MAIL. After one weeks it disappears from the Incoming mail folder and it´s not longer available in MAIL at all. (I can only access it throught the AOL software or AOL Communicator themself, where it´s archived.). Sent (AOL) mail on the other side is still available in the Sent folder of MAIL. Is there any way to keep/store the Received AOL mail in Mac MAIL?

Hi Padua & JWurzak!
I don't know if this will help, but, in your AOL Preferences > Mail: under Automation, do you have the two options below checked?
Save the mail I read
Save the mail I send
Also, in AOL Preferences > Filing Cabinet: do you have Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet checked, and Never selected, in the contextual menus below?

Syncing Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail

I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Pro in order to use my Yahoo Mail through Mac Mail. When I delete an email through Safari/Yahoo, Mac Mail does not reflect that. How can I sync the two so that what I do in one occurs in the other? Further, for some reason all but four of my emails got deleted out of my Safari/Yahoo account. How the heck did that happen?

You can't. Yahoo Plus only offers POP access. To do what you want, you'll need an email provider who offers email via IMAP.

How to convert Windows mails to Mac mail

Hi - can anyone help me.
One of my colleagues are changing from Windows to Mac - clever guy i Think But now he will bring All he's Windows mails into MacMail. Now he's asking me if that is possible without buying expensive software. Is it better for him to use Entourage - his company have licence to version 2007 i think.
Hope some of you Can help us - thx

From Windows mail export to eml file (it's the default export format), I believe (it's been a long time) you need to select all mail in windows mail prior to export. Transfer the resultant file to your Mac, open Entourage and save the .eml file(s) to your hard drive Now, select one on the Desktop, and go to File -> Get Info. Under "Open With", change the application to Entourage. Click the button to change all. Now try dragging them into the Entourage window or double-clicking them to open them there. Once in Entourage if you want them in Mac Mail just open Mail and select File-> Import Mailboxes, and select Entourage.

Can't import Outlook 2011 emails to Mac Mail

Hi,
Recently I have shifted back to mac mail because of some personal reasons. Work is going great with mac mail, but the only thing I am worried about is the emails that are still in outlook 2011. Is there any wau to transfer all those emails from outlook 2011
over to mac mail. As the emails are regarding work and are important to be used in future to keep records of our clients. I have tried the export function but somehow it does not seem to work properly. Is there ant other possible way to do this?
I am not that much of a technological guy so please be kind in your responses, I request to suggest some fast and reliable method. Thank you.

You can use an intermediary IMAP server, or simply create corresponding folders in Finder and drag and drop the messages from within Outlook to that folder. Then you can import to Mail from those folders/files.
Or you can simply look for third party tools for better and fast results, here is one recommended by apple store: Om to Mbox

Exporting from Entourage to Mac Mail

I have a large Entourage inbox. Thousands of Emails. When I try to export from Entourage everything seems to work fine. But, when I import, only about a third come through. Is there a sure fire way to get all emails from Entourage to Mac Mail. I am using Mountain Lion.

Alex,
This thread is getting unbelievably messy for what originally was such a simple question. Nowhere did I say that the procedure I suggested was meant for a particular type of account or mailbox. It allows any messages to be exported in standard mbox format. It’s Stanley who mentioned IMAP as an alternative procedure to transfer mail between mail clients, and what I said in the post you’re replying to is precisely that IMAP has nothing to do with what I was talking about...
What does “suitable for archiving” mean? If you have any questions that have nothing to do with the problem of transferring mail from Mail to Entourage, which is what we’re supposed to be talking about here, please either find a thread that discusses the same questions or start a new topic to properly discuss them in their own thread instead of hijacking someone else’s thread. Here is a recent example of such a thread:
