Import Hotmail emails to Apple's Mail

I use Apple's Mail program for my primary email but I also have a Hotmail account, but I get so much spam that I want to close it. However, before closing it I would like to import all email from this Hotmail account into Mail but Mail's import feature does not list Hotmail, only "Other". But when I choose "Other" it asks me to select an application but of course Hotmail doesn't show up. Bottom line--how can I import my Hotmail emails into Apple's Mail?

Download this, it works really nice

  • How do I get my email in Apple's Mail program from old drive to new drive?

    I can not determine from Apple's support info how to export my email in Apple's Mail program from the old drive to the new drive.
    The old 60 GB drive was at 55GB and had 3 volume structure problems. It would not backup all files using SuperDuper!, but I could backup the user files onto an external 250GB Tintanium Fantom Drive. So I installed a new 120 GB in the iMac and took the old 60GB drive and put it in an external firewire drive housing, which mounts, runs and will even act as the startup drive. I installed 10.3.9 on the new 120GB drive. I was able to export the address book over to the new drive with no problems, but I don't know how to export the email.
    There does not appear to be an export function in Apple's Mail program (This sounds kind of ???).
    I have a lot of email (#???) in a lot folders and subfolders (60) in addition to the inboxes, plus all the sent mail (2,000)

    The Mail.app preference file (which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences) is located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
    All Mail.app mailboxes and other data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
    With the Mail.app quit on the new hard drive, place a copy of the Mail folder from the old hard drive at Home > Library on the new drive. If there is an existing Mail folder at Home > Library, this will replace it.
    Place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the old hard drive at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive (and there should be one if you have launched the Mail.app on the new hard drive), this will replace it.
    Launch Mail on the new hard drive and the Mail.app should be completely restored or identical to the Mail.app on the old hard drive.

    my mail only receives certain messages . received  email from apple saying  mail is full and it isn'.
    a lot of email that others send me  don't even get to may mailbox.

    Your icloud storage must be full, from emails, backups, and other data. 
    Go to
    Settings>General>Usage.  This tells how much storage is used on both iCloud and on the device.

  • Trying to import Entourage Emails into Apple Mail

    I recently purchased a new Mac (Mountain Lion) and am trying to import the emails from my old Mac. I was previously using Entourage but I want to import them into Apple Mail.
    My old Mac will not restart but I have a copy on time machine. I think I have located the correct folder (and have copied it to my desktop):
    My User Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database
    However, when I click on the Import Mailboxes option in Apple Mail, it only gives me the following options:
    Apple Mail, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format.
    Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed?
    Many thanks
    Claire

    One method which is manual is as follows.
    With the Apple Address Book and Entourage address book launched and both positioned so each is partially visible, select the Address Book "All" Group.
    Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all Entourage contacts.
    Click and drag all selected/highlighted contacts to the Address Book Name column for the "All" Group and release.
    After selecting all Entourage contacts, you can also try Edit > Copy.
    Select the Name column for the Address Book "All" Group and at the Address Book menu bar, go to Edit and select Paste.

  • My old hotmail emails only appears in Mail.app, but dispears from my hotmail inbox. what can I do to get them back to my hotmail inbox?

    Hi All
    I am trying to using mails.app as my email manage software. once I setup my hotmail account on it. I noticed that all my hotmail old emails are missing from my web hotmail inbox, but in mails.app software. does anyone know how do I get my old emails back to my web hotmial inbox pleaes?

    Hi Shang_Li,
    Unless you pay for the Hotmail premium account, the default mail access for Hotmail is POP3. By default when you "pop" a message off the mail server it removes that message from the server. That's why the messages are missing from the web interface. When you configure POP you have the option to leave a copy on the server for a specific period of time.
    Here's a good URL that explains the process - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3228
    If you don't want mail to be removed off the server you can just uncheck the box that's mentioned in the above article. Or if you do want to have messages removed you can specify how long they're kept on the server (viewable on the web) after you access them in Mail.

  • How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

    I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
    There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
    1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
    2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

    Thanks, a brody.
    That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
    However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
    All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
    Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

  • Creating html email with apple's mail

    How do i get an html page (created in Dreamweaver) to show up in apple's mail window?
    I want the html page to display. If I just attach the html file all I get is an icon of the file not the look of the html file (ie with background color and placed photo and html text). I know to have the placed image with an absolute reference (ie. http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg)

    Tiger Mail uses Apple's new WebKit authoring engine, creating complex HTML email messages with Mail's trademark simplicity. However, most of the power of that engine is inaccessible. Aside from the addition of an "Add Hyperlink…" menu item, Mail's composition window offers no better text or layout controls than 10.0's Mail did in 2001.
    Tiger was replaced by Leopard last October, and Leopard Mail has a new feature called Stationery which might provide some of what you are talking about:

  • How do I import .eml emails, etc. from Windows Mail 2011 (online version) to Lion mail program?

    I have tried to find out how to import my stored .eml emails from my previous PC into my new Mac Mini Lion Mail program, so I will not lose them all.  I have tried going through Thunderbird, but all it keeps giving me for choices is Apple Mail and Eudora.  Then the Mail on the Mini only gives me choices that do not include the .eml files.  Please help!  I have a gazillion emails saved and don't want to lose them!  Thanks very much!

    I see you are running Leopard. So maybe ask your question in the Leopard forum area.

  • How can I get imported Outlook email into folders in mail?

    I am a longtime PC user with email and calendar in MS Outlook (finally) converting to an iMac.  I used the Migration Assistant to transfer my old PC email to new iMAC running OSX Lion via ethernet.  On the old PC, I have ~15 years of stored emails in a *.pst file, organized by folders.  I want to retain that file structure to organize older email (but retain it on hard drive for later access) in mail on the iMac.  For example, I get an email confirmation of an online order, I move it to a folder called "Money" in case I have any problems with the item or need ot figure out how long since I purchased something for warranty.  After the migration I have 1,984 messages in my inbox on the iMac.
    Two apparent problems: 
    1) Everything is in one folder.  I don't want to have to refile all this stuff again.  How do I get an intact folder structure imported to iMac email from Outlook 2000 *.pst file?
    2)  I don't think the migration moved everything form the old pst.  It took more than inbox, but not enough to be all the emails.  To avoid duplications, should I scrub the iMAC mail clean before any steps to achieve 1 above?  If so how do I remove the emil imported the first try to iMac?
    Be gently, true newbie status here.  Learning the iMac slowly - but can't go for long without email.....

    Hi. I have a similar issue. Migration assistant seems to have pulled in all my email accounts (6) correctly and also the mails that were sat in those inboxes. However, the entire folder structure (where I would drag and drop) has not migrated and nor (it seems) the email contained within. I also have a .pst (which is not corrupted on the PC) and is not huge. So I would like to move all my history across. I don't particularly care about the folder structure but I do, of course, want all of my history transferred.
    Is there any easy way to do this? Otherwise all I can think of is moving all emails on my PC from the folders to an inbox in Outlook, unarchiving the .pst emails and then doing the email migration all over again.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Work email via Apple's Mail

    Hello everyone...real simple question I am sure...
    I work for X company. How can I configure my apple mail so that I can get my corporate mail delivered to my apple mail?
    THANKS!

    Depends on what type of email system your company uses.
    The best-in fact the only-way to find out is to ask your company's IT people what the necessary server settings are.

  • Hotmail emails are going missing in Mail

    Hi
    Has anyone found a resolution to this problem. All my Hotmail emails download fine into Mail when I configured it the first time but now when I go to click on a particular email, the whole folder content disappears. The messages are still on my actual hotmail account, but are just not shown in Mail.
    Any ideas please....

  • How may I configure Apple's Mail to not download old e-mails from my Hotmail account?

    When I connect my Hotmail account to Apple's Mail application, it starts to download all of my read e-mails and marks them as unread. How may I configure Mail so it downloads only new e-mails just like it works in iOS?

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Advanced check below for POP and the second screen shot for IMAP.
    There also might be a setting in Hotmail if you access via a browser.

  • 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
