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...

Importing mail from Thunderbird incomplete

I'm having some issues importing mail from Thunderbird (Windows). I have exported them as mbox format and copied it across on my Mac. I then import it using mail and select Thunderbird and pointed it to the correct folder.
It starts importing fine, but the issue is that it only imports 1 email only. I have 2000+ emails in the mbox.
I tried Thunderbird for Mac, and imported it across. It works fine importing from Thunderbird Windows -> Thunderbird Mac.
Then I tried importing again to Mail by pointing to my ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles folder and once again the import completes with no errors, but only one single email was imported.
Any ideas?

You’d get better results if you use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion instead.

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?

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:

I recently switched over to Mail from Eudora

I recently switched over to Mail from Eudora because of problems with Eudora and DSL that remain unresolved. However,I've run into an immediate problem.
I retrieve mail from two locations: Home (DSL and now using Mail) and work (T1 and using Eudora). If I read, reply, and delete my mail from home, with Mail, when I next check my mail at work, all of that mail I've read and deleted appears. Mail seems not to be deleting anything off the actual mail servers. I've deleted, emptied trash, deleted trash, etc., but that mail isn't really gone, and that's not really helpful.
Am I simply missing a setting somewhere? A box that has to be checked that says "Really, no kidding, delete the bleedin' mail"? This is not a problem I've encountered with said competing product.
Thanks for all advice,
GF

If for a POP type account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, is Remove from server after retrieving a message selected and if so, what is your selection below for removing messages from the server?

Import mails from microsoft outllook to mac outlook

Am trying to import mails from MS outlook to MAC outlook and its not importing all msgs/ folders..
adv why??

You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

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?

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 do I import mail from Outlook 2010?

When I try to import my emails from Outlook 2010 I get the following message:
"An error occurred importing mail from Outlook
Unable to find mail to import. Check to make sure the mail application is correctly installed on this machine."

You'll need to do it from a 32bit version - Mail/Live mail do not recongise outlook 2010 64 bit. Dropping EML files into Outlook folder has always created new messages with attachments - this is nothing new.
ETA: if you can email the messages as attachments, you can drag them from the message and drop them in the Inbox. This obviously works best if there aren't hundreds of messages to convert. :)
There are 3rd party utilties that can make the conversion but they may not work with the 64bit version. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/convmsg.htm for a list of programs that can make the conversion but i don't know if any of them work with 64bit outlook.

Importing Mail from Mac Mail

I just installed Leopard on my eMac and it installed just fine. However, I seemed to have installed it clean instead of an upgrade.
I see the files for my mail in my "username"|Library|Mail|Mailboxes folder, but cannot import them. When I go to Mail and choose "File" then "Import Mailboxes", I get a option of where to import mail from. I choose "Mail for Max OS X" and then show it where I saw my mailboxes, but they do not show up for me to select them.
How do I do this?
HELP!!

Well, I have finally figured out the problem. Some moron (that would be me) installed Leopard on the external hard drive instead of the main hard drive. Time Machine will NOT use the same drive that it boots from to back up the computer.
Solution: Unplug the external drive, let it boot to the old operating system, reinstall Leopard, plug in the external hard drive and then configure Time Machine to use the external drive.
Thank you for all your help and suggestions.

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

Importing mail from Exchange to MS CRM

Hello all,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 receives all mail since it was activated, the emails were in Outlook before CRM be active not appear.
I do not have the backup of independent Outlook but Microsof Exchange Server.
How do I import mail from Exchange to CRM?
Please would like response!
Many thanks
Best regards

1. CRM is not a backup for Exchange. So while I get while there can be business value of old email in CRM, don't treat it like a backup system.
2. If you use the Dynamics CRM Outlook Plugin, as a user you can just go back to your old email archive and click "Track in CRM". This will also give you the granularity of what's relevant and what's not for storing in CRM.

How can I import mailboxes from Eudora to my new POP Mail account?

Good afternoon!
I have 10.4.11 on my Mac Mini and want to transfer my mail service from Eudora to Mail. I opened a POP account, but when I tried to import mailboxes from the Eudora Folder stored in Documents I got an Error message: No valid Eudora files were found.
I know the mailbox folder is in the Eudora Folder in Documents, so why can't Mail find it?

I'm not sure if you need Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, but you might take a look at it.

Mac Mail crashed when importing Mailboxes from Eudora

Using Tiger (10.4.11) and Mac Mail 2.1.3. It always crashes when I try to import a Mailbox from Eudora. Any ideas?

I've done it without problems as a test.
Have you done any Disk or OS Maintenance lately?
How much free space do you have on the HD?
Does it always crash in the same place/time?

Import contacts from Eudora into iPad 2 Mail

I'm helping a friend get to know her iPad and learn how to use it. All her email contacts are in a Eudora address book on her PC.
How can she import her Eudora address book contacts into her iPad? Or does she have to manually enter them?
Thanks. (My iPad life is easy - we're all Mac/iPhone/iPad in this family.)

With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
She needs to export her Eudora contacts and import that with a supported address book app on her PC.

Migration from Eudora for Windows to Eudora for Mac

Has anybody within the sound of my keystokes ever migrated Eudora from the PC to Mac?
I have to use Eudora for my work, and while I know I can run it in my Parallels XP Window, I really want to run as little software in Windows as possible so I'm trying to get Eudora to run in OSX. I downloaded the software and it works fine but I have not been able to import my many e-mailboxes from the Windows installation to the Mac.
The problem actually looks very much like the result I got when I tried to import Eudora folders and mailboxes into Apple Mail: the folders showed up, but none of the messages.
With the Eudora/Win to the Eudora/Mac import, none of the mailboxes or individual messages showed up.
Maybe somebody who's reading this has some idea what a simple fix might entail. I'm impressed with how quickly responses show up here, so I've got my fingers crossed.
Thanks,
--PS

OK, here's a variation on the same idea.
Inside the My Email folder on the PC, are there individual mailbox files, and are they where the actual content of your past email is stored? To check on the latter question, duplicate one of those files on the PC (so you won't have to work with the original file) and open the copy in a text editor such as WordPad. Does the content of the messages in the mailbox appear?
If not, then Eudora for Windoze apparently keeps its mailbox files quite differently from Eudora for Mac, and I don't know what to suggest or where on your PC you might look for the message content. If this proves to be the case, I guess I'd have to suggest that using Eudora for Windoze in Parallels may be the best way to go.
If the content is there in the mailbox file, Quit WordPad without changing the file at all. Try copying that mailbox file (not the whole enclosing folder) over to the Mac and putting it into Eudora's Mail Folder. (Make sure first that it doesn't have the same filename as any of your existing Eudora Mac mailboxes.) Then open Eudora and see whether that mailbox appears in the mailbox list, and whether the messages in it can be displayed.
If that doesn't work either, you may want to compare the structure of the Windoze-based mailbox file with the structure of Eudora for Mac's mailbox files, and see whether there's some relatively simple modification(s) you could make to your Windoze files so they'd conform to Eudora Mac's expectations of a proper mailbox file. I would open both files in separate windows, side by side, in a text processor such as TextWrangler (free, fast and enormously powerful, with terrific Find/Replace capabilities), and see what it would take to put the Windoze file into the same form as the Mac file. The comparison with be greatly simplified if you create a new mailbox on your PC, send yourself two or three short test messages, and save them in that mailbox. Then do exactly the same thing on the Mac. Copy the Windoze file to the Mac, and use those two files — which should be as similar as they possibly can be, given the two different platforms — for the comparison. I'll be interested to hear the results.
BTW, it has taken me something over an hour, what with waiting through nine-minute Discussions page loads this morning, to reach the point of clicking the Post button for this reply. I may not be able to help you in the end, but it isn't for lack of persistence.

Import everything from Eudora 7 on anotyher disk in this PC

I have one drive on my PC with Windows XP, including Eudora 7 which I have used for years.
A new drive added to the same PC has Windows 7 and I have installed Thunderbird 24 to be used for E-mail.
The only choice I had for importing data was from Eudora, but on the same disk, which is not useful.
Can I import the data from Eudora7 on the other disk on this PC???

With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
