Import mail.app mails (10.5) into Windows Mail (Vista)

Hello,
I switched to a VAIO PC laptop and I wish to import mail.app mails (10.5) into Windows Mail on Vista. And of course, I need my adresses, too, although they are not as import.
Windows Mail says that it mainly imports emails from Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange and Windows Mail 7. So, how do I get my mails? There must be a way!
Please help, I have no ideas,
Avee

I just want to say THANK YOU, because this fixed my problems for me, too!
Apple Support site ... well, not very supportive. Their answer didn't work.
And even calling them provided no answer - so, again -
THANK YOU.
As soon as I reloaded my old accounts, all my old e-mails that I'm clinging to popped up! Thankfully - because like an idiot, I didn't back anything up!

App for easy booting into Windows?

I use Windows for only one thing on my Mac.. to play CounterStrike. So 99.9% of the time in Mac OS. But when I want to play, I have to go to System Prefs>Startup Disk, then restart into my Windows volume.
Is there an app I could put in my dock that would allow easy rebooting into Windows? It's not like it's a pain to go to System Prefs and choose it, but it sure would be nice if I only had to click an app in my dock.
Thanks,
Bryan

How to use the boot-manager:
-Shut down the Mac (holding down the power button for a few sec's)
-Hold down the option key (alt)
-Start-up your iBook while holding down the option key
-Now there will appear a boot-manager on your screen
-Release the option key
-Select the Winows or OSX volume
-Press enter, now your mac should start-up from it.
You can also do the same thing while restarting.
Just hold down the option key right after the screen went black!
(So after OSX did shut down)
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. Consider rewarding some points!

I Have an Apple iphone 4. It will import my photos but when plugged into windows media centre it says connect a device even when the phone is connected. Why is this?

I have an Apple iphone 4. It will import my photos but when I am in Windows Media Centre and want to sync music it asks me to Connect a Device when my phone is already connected. I have been able to do this in the past but for some reason this fault has just begun Do you know the reason for this?

Are you certain that it is locked to Orange?
Regardless, Apple does not lock devices, carriers do.
If the carrier refuses to unlock the device there is nothing that can be done.

Import Mail from Eudora on Windows

Currently I use Gmail as my main email account, so I have never used Apple Mail. I am fully switching to the Mac (finally) after having had an iBook and now a Macbook for 3.5 years.
I set up my original AOL account as an IMAP account, and that works just fine, there is no saved mail to import, and a few messages were on the server in the "old mail" folder.
The problem comes when I need to import the mail from an old Comcast account on what used to be my main Windows computer. It was in Eudora for Windows, as at the time I set up the account, it was in the pre-Thunderbird days, and I didn't want a Microsoft email client.
I imported the .mbx files into Apple Mail, and for the most part they imported correctly. One major problem, however, is with jokes that my grandfather sends me. I have him send them to the old account so that they don't clog up my Gmail inbox. The problem is, they imported without any of the forwarded part, and that is the important part of the message.
Can I get Mail to properly import the messages or should I try working with Thunderbird? I don't care too much about this account, but I do want to keep the old mail. No matter what I do, I am going to keep the old .mbx files so that worst case scenario, if I found a message that was improperly imported, I could install Eudora on a Windows box and access the .mbx files.
I just forwarded a many times forwarded joke from my Gmail account to the Comcast address, and Mail deals with it just fine, so its only the imported old Mail.

is the Eudora format the same on windos as it is on the mac?
No, they are different - among the easy things they use different EOL characters and different character encoding but also the (binary) TOC is different. I am pretty sure that TB on Mac does not do too well with Windows Eudora...

In Yosemite, I try to import mail from Apple Mail 8.0 into Thunderbird 31.20.0, but it says "No mailboxes found"--what should I do?

In Yosemite, I try to import mail from Apple Mail 8.0 into Thunderbird 31.20.0, but it says "No mailboxes found"--what should I do? I've tried all sort of other approaches, but none works. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! Ken

Try copying the whold SD card to your desktop by holding down the Option key and dragging the SD card icon about 2 inches away from the where the card sits on the desktop. This should trigger Mac OS to make a copy of the whole SD card onto your Macintosh's desktop. Once it finishes from there, eject the SD card. Reboot your Mac then open iMovie without launching any other programs whatsoever. Go to the File Menu Import Movies from File... And point it at the copy of the SD card and see if it crashes again.

How can I get imported mail back into standard inboxes? 10.3 to 10.5

I'm moving from 10.3 to 10.5 and have managed to copy all my mail and settings over from old system manually. Then used Import to point mail to the mboxes. Now all my mail is in Imported mail folder. It's a good start but is there a way to get it all back into the main Inbox so I can carry on as before? I have 4 accounts. Can't seem to drag&drop. Could make new folders as suggested in another thread but can only create folders in On My Mac section. Any suggestions? Weirdly the imported mail has duplicated all the folders (iboxes/outboxes etc) and only one of them actually contains mails...

Of everything I read nothing mentioned the simplest way of selecting a folder in the import folder e.g. Inbox for an account and then selecting all the mails in that folder and using the Message > Move To menu command. I hope this helps somebody.

Mail app crashes when importing mail from Netscape.

I have been using Netscape 4 in classic mode for years. I have a HUGE inbox that I need to keep for reference purposes and I would like to switch to using Mail. Mail crashes when I try to import my mailboxes. I moved all my mail to the newest Netscape and tried again and again it crashed.
Is there a third party program that can help this along?
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) G4, OS 10.3.9, 800 MHz, Power PC 256 MB SDRAM

Is there a third party program that can help this along?
You might want to take a look at Eudora Mailbox Cleaner - it can import mail from Thunderbird to Mail so I guess Netscape Mail should be fine as well:

Import mail function does not work for Outlook Express

working on a windows 8.1 laptop, trying to import emails from a Outlook Express directory that was moved to the new PC. Latest Thunderbird is running and the import starts and then very quickly finishes without importing anything.

Thunderbird import does not work on my XP machine either, I already tried it. Do you mean that outlook Express has to be running at the time of import?
I did migrate the mail folder into Windows live email, so I have access to the email but only as a kludgy 2 email solution.
Thunderbird does not recognize Live Mail, so that was not helpful.
I think the import broke in some previous release and has not been tested lately.

Missing imported mail folders after Leopard upgrade

After upgrading to Leopard, my previously imported mail folders (from outlook express converted to .mbox) disappeared. I imported again with mixed results. One folder successfully imported but with 2 new but empty folders (at that point I had 3 folders on my mac). I tried to import the second file. It appeared to import, I can see the folder and number of messages but no way to access them. I can't open the folder. I tried it again with the same results. I had no problem accessing the same files prior to the Leopard upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks,
Dana

I have Comcast email, and I never had a junk folder. However, if you did have these folders, go the preview window where you see all of your email accounts - The window that shows all,of your Mailboxes. Tap the Edit button to the right of the Mailboxes heading. See if the folders are in there.
You can also try closing the mail app and resetting the iPad to see if they reappear.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
BTW, creating a new draft email should make the folder appear again as well.

How to configure number of importing mail?

hi guys,
I'm adding my yahoo mail account into Mac Mail recently, and I have got around 5000 mails in my yahoo account.
When I succesffuly added the yahoo account in Mac Mail, the system imports all mails to Mac (starting from very beginining)
It is too much for me and spending a lot of time and data. Actually I don't need all of them, I just want to get 50 of the latest mail from yahoo.
Is there any way I can configure the number of importing mail for my first time import?
Could anyone help.??

Hi,
In MN22 go to the Commuunication tab and there put the desired number of copies to be output like 2 or 3 against the field "Number of Messages" and save.This will get the desired result.

How to restore email including imported mail

Last night I screwed up my new iMac & had to restore entire system from backup. After many hours & help from the Time Machine forum, I was able to restore everything except my emails. I do have all my folders under “On my Mac/ imported” But they are all empty. I’ve been on with Apple support over 1.5 hours (mostly on hold.) Multiple times opening Mail & opening TM & restoring the date/time I wanted & also trying an hour earlier. --No luck.
Strangely,as soon as I open TM (b4 I restore anything) when it says “Today-Now” at the bottom of the screen --My Mail program SEEMS restored to yesterday with all my missing mail in all the correct folders! But as I explained, doing restore, even rebooting does not work. The mail immediately returns to the empty folder version!
It was pointed out to me in TM forum “In Mail use the scroll bar towards the left to scroll all the way to the bottom of your mail boxes. The restored mail should be there. Restored or imported mail doesn't go into your original mail boxes.”
Unbelievable that the Apple support tech didn’t know that! I checked & see a new “Time Machine” White folder containing 14 blue “Recovered Mailbox” 1, 2, 3 etc. All are empty except three which contain slightly different versions of my inbox prior to the data loss. If it was only the inbox I wanted to recover --I’d simply move the 20 + restored messages into my current inbox (if possible) & then delete the restored folders & be done. But, All of my thousands of saved emails from my imported folders are still gone. I’m beginning to suspect that any imported folders under the “On my Mac” section are stored in a different location & must be recovered differently? I wonder how all the other people who restore their entire system restore their email?
Please help!
Thanks,
Steve

This was finally solved by 2nd level Apple tech support. You can read my other post under TM. “Help new Mac user restore entire system”
Summary:
While on hold (forever) I did check the mail folder (Macintosh HD/Users/<user name>/library/Mail) & saw many sub folders were over 100 MB so, I suspected my “missing” mail was actually there. I was on hold 1 3/4 hours waiting for an Apple tech support “Specialist.” He solved it but, it took him 40 minutes. 1st trying a simple open Mail & go into TM & try Restore from the date I wanted. Didn’t work. Then going to the mail folder (Macintosh HD/Users/<user name>/library/Mail) & selecting it & opening TM & again try to restore that folder to the date I wanted. Again, no luck. He then tried to go into Preferences & we did several things (many of which I cannot recall exactly) with com.apple.mail.plist & I think with another file. None worked.
Finally -- He had me open Mail & import from the mail folder (Macintosh HD/Users/<user name>/library/Mail). That Worked! I now had a new folder “Import-2” after Import. (My original Import folder from my initial transfer of mail from my Dell PC via Thunderbird was still there after restore but all the folders were empty.) Now Import-2 had all the folders FULL of my email. I double checked & then deleted my Import folder with all the empty subfolders & then renamed Import-2 to Import. For some reason most of the folders had sort order wrong & some column headings wrong. I fixed all that easily. Strangely, each folder had some emails in yellow & took me quite some time to figure out to simply highlight them all & open color wheel & select black. So, I am back! I’m restored. The Specialist said that the 1st restore attempts SHOULD HAVE worked. He suspected a preferences problem (corrupt file, no way to tell) He said that the mail was there all the time but, just was not showing in the mail program. He had no idea why TM showed it immediately --as if restored -- each & every one of my many TM restore attempts. As soon as I exited TM I was back to empty folders. He said he would do some research & get back to me. He called today & said that The original system restore that DID bring back everything (except my mail) SHOULD have also restored the mail. He said it was an isolated incident & if I ever (shudder!) have to restore entire system once again. It should work properly. If not I will check the mail folder to see if has the mail & if it does, do an import as was the eventual solution this time.
Total time with Apple Tech Support = 3 HOURS, mostly holding.

I WANT TO IMPORT MAIL FROM OUTLOOK TO TALKTALK

i want to direct mail from outlook to talktalk.

Do you mean Outlook, the application included with Microsoft Office, or Outlook Express, the application included with Windows XP, or Outlook.com, the new incarnation of Hotmail/Windows Live Mail?
Does talktalk have documentation on importing mail? Or on forwarding your old address to your new address?
I suspect Firefox is not at the center of the process in any case.

No messages when importing mail in Entourage X (10.1.0)

Hi,
I'm importing mail from Entourage 2003 to Entourage X. I select the identity and importing starts. Contacts and folders are imported correctly. But the folders are empty ?!
I do not get any error message but for some reason, he skips the mail messages.
I tried it over the wireless network. I connected the 2 mac through firewire... no difference.
Who can help me ?
Thanks,

Do you mean you are trying to import mail from the Entourage version included with Office 2004?
If so, trying to import the mbox format used by Tiger Mail to an earlier Mail.app version under Jaguar or Panther does not work directly without a workaround.
I'm not sure if the same applies to the database format used by Entourage 2004 vs the database format used by Entourage X but it might especially since most want to import the other direction - from X to 2004.
Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions for Apple's Tiger Mail and Address Book applications, you may have better luck getting an answer to your question here.

Importing Mail Messages with .emix extensions

Inadvertently I copied all my 8,000 older email messages into a folder thinking
I could copy the old messages into a new folder into mail on my other Mac. When I try to copy these .emix messages, it will not allow me. When I try to IMPORT these messages from mail, I cannot highlight the mail box to import.
I am able to read these messages when I open each one up individually.
Does anybody have any idea's of how I can get the 1.5gb of email messages into my new computer. I do not have any of the older plist files from the host computers library. I only have the folder with 8,000 .emix mail messages.
Help!

Rob,
I only have the folder with 8,000 .emix mail messages
If you put those messages in an correctly named folder hierarchy, Mail should be able to import them fine:
→ Import.mbox
→→ Messages
→→→ 1.emlx
→→→ 2.emlx
→→→ …
→→→ ###.emlx
(the actual numbers don't matter - no need to renumber them from what you have)
You should then be able to point Mail's import function to the folder containing the folder "Import.mbox" and in the next step can select a mailbox called "Import"
(If this does not work, you can also move the "Import.mbox" hierarchy as described above into ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and quit and restart Mail. You will then see a new local mailbox called "Import" which is initially empty. After selecting "Mailbox → Rebuild" from the menu you should see your messages appear)
