Importing a pst file into Outlook for Mac

As soon as I start importing a pst file (from Outlook 2003) into Outlook for Mac 2011 I receive the following message in a pop-up window: "Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Can anyone advise what I should do next. This is the only hassle I've had in migrating from MS to Mac.
Thank you!

There is a Office for Mac Product Forums I'd recommend posting there because they have more experience with Microsoft products than most do on this forum.

When I drag .ics files into Outlook for Mac 2011, only the all-day events show up. It won't show part-day events.

I'm attempting to copy events from the Calendar app on my MacBook pro to the Outlook 2011 calendar. When I drop and drag the .ics files to Outlook, it accepts the information, but only shows all day events. I've tried changing events in Calendar to all day, then create the .ics file then drop and drag to Outlook, and even that doesn't work. Is anyone else having that problem? Has anyone found a solution for this?

Can not import Outlook 2007 .CSV or .PST files into Outlook 2013 on Win 8.1 64 bit

I have a new computer (Sony VAIO Pro 11 Ultrabook) with a brand new install of Win 8.1 - 64 bit and MS Office 2013 Professional Plus. Everything works fine EXCEPT I can not import my contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007 Win 7 - 32 bit into the
.msn folders in each case. I can open .pst files in Outlook 2013 but they open in a local file and when I copy and paste them into the Exchange ActiveSync .msn contact and calendar files so that they will sync with Outlook.com Outlook 2013 crashes.
It can't even be reopened unless the wireless is turned off, and then you have to create a new data file as a default and then delete the old account and re-establish it. I have tried using the import functions as well with both
.CSV and .PST files that were exported from Outlook 2007 and an error message stating that this is not supported comes up. I have also tried to turn on sync with my iPhone to see if the files will sync from the phone through Outlook.com and nothing happens
there either - no sync on the web and nothing at the PC. Email works fine after adding the account again etc.
None of the procedures on the forums work (open PST file in the local folder then copy/paste, drag/drop, or move the files) so please don't respond with those links. All result in crash. Does anyone at MS know what's up with their latest
and greatest SW?
Thank you for your assistance.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

Cannot Import Email and Folders from Outlook for Mac 2011

After downloading Lion, I could not import emails and folder structure from Outlook for Mac 2011.

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.

Acrobat 9 PDF files lost when importing a PST file in Office Mac 2011

When one imports an MS Outlook data file created in either Outllok 2007 or 2010 (a PST file) into Outlook for Mac 2011, PDF's made in Acrobat 7 or earlier are imported as are those made on a Mac.
However, any PDF file attachment made in Acrobat 9 is removed (not imported) into Outlook 2011 for Mac.
If anyone has any great thoughst on this, they would be welcomed as I have given up after 20 hours of work and research. In the absence of any 'fix', l may have to set up a temporary MS Exchange account and export to a server and back again.
Thanks in advance!

1. It might be the difference between the Home and Student versions and the Home and Business versions. You need to ask the educational institution you're getting it through what the difference between the two options they are offering is.
I've used Office for Mac for a long time. There are some differences in the applications themselves, they're minor and it should serve you just fine.

How to export imported pst that was in outlook for mac?

I have a mac air, with Outlook for mac 2011. over the last year this has been crashing quite a bit so i am going to add parrells for windows. issue is that i have some time ago imported pst in the outlook for mac but how do i export?

Hi Clinton,
the mailing list manager only lets me create rules and the outlook forums don't seem to adress the issue I am having.
I can see every where how to create the mailing group, and as far as i can see, I'm doing it corectly, however, I can't send the mail to the group as it sees something wrong with the mails. I've even double checked the mailing adresses just to be sure.
Must say, I'm stumped on this one..
Thanks for trying
Regards

Outlook for Mac e-mail import issues

Ok -- I have tried everything and I can't seem to figure this out. I exported my old e-mail from outlook for windows 2010 into a pst file and then imported that into outlook for mac 2011. The folders come in but the e-mails themselves are not there. I am fairly confident the messages are there somewhere in the back background as it took 15 minutes or so to import the whole file. I tried only importing 1 small folder and it imported in a few seconds so I am pretty confident they are there I just can't see them. Has anyone else had this problem and can offer any help?

There is a longish way to do this.
In Outlook, Select the folder you want to move (If there are folders within the folder, you have to select each individual subfolder, as the subfolders won't copy along with the main folder, only the messages in the folder will copy). Click and drag the selected folder (ex: inbox folder) to a new folder on your desktop. I couldn't figure out a way to select all the folders, so i dragged each folder and subfolder from Outlook into the folder on the desktop. Once you're done copying all the Outlook folders, open up Mac Mail. Go to File --> import mailboxes. Then select "Files in mbox format" and click continue. Then select desktop, and the folder you dragged all of your Outlook folders into. Hit "Choose." Mac Mail will import all of these folders, and when it's finished, will tell you that they are under the folder labeled "imports" in Mac Mail, and you just have to move all your subfolders back into their main folders.
Like I said, it takes a little while longer than I would like, but it worked for me and now I have all my old mail from Outlook in Mac Mail.
Hope that helps (and that I explained right)!

Import pst files in Outlook 2013

Hi all!
I have a simple question for you...
The normal procedure suggested me to import a pst file from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2013 from File->Open and Export->Import/Export->Import data from other programs....etc. This procedure works normally.
If I export mail by mail (one each mail at time) from Outlook 2007 to a normal folder in my desktop I have a folder with more .msg files. And, when I finished to do this I import mail by mail from my desktop folder to new .pst file in Outlook 2013.
This procedure can be corrupt or damage the pst file?
Many thanks!
Bye!

You are using the term "export" for two different scenarios - one of which has nothing to do with "exporting". Similarly, the term "folder" means 2 different things under the scenario described.
Specifically, you don't export email's one message at a time, in this case, these are being "saved" in a Windows folder which is not the same thing as an Outlook folder (contained in a PST file).
Instead of going through this latter process which has to be time-consuming and a pain, have you considered simply opening the pst file used in O'2007 and then just moving/copying the desired messages to the desired O'2013 folder? Am sure there is a reason
that you're going through this latter process but on the surface it seems that it's a long way around to arrive at your destination.

Trouble transferring email to Outlook for Mac 2011

I purchased a new iMac and Office for Mac 2011. I have years of Outlook email history to transfer over, which the folks at the Apple Store said would work, no problem. That hasn't been the case. None of my .pst files from Outlook (2003, for PC) will transfer correctly. It seems that about half the email is missing. Have tried importing just small pst files with less than 100 emails, that won't work either. I've seen this problem discussed on multiple forums, but haven't seen a consensus developing as to the solution. I've tried creating a new identity in Office for Mac 2011, importing there, exporting to a .olm file, and reimporting to my main identity, and that didn't work either. Each solution has thousands of missing emails, but never the same ones. I can find no pattern, relating to whether there were attachments, older emails, new emails, etc.
I know this is being discussed in various forums, but I'd like to ask whether anyone has any new ideas? Or, it would be great to know if ANYONE has successfully been able to complete this kind of transfer to Outlook for Mac 2011, or whether it's happening to everyone who tries.
Thanks...

We've had problems importing Outlook 2003 and earlier >PST files into Outlook 2011 due I think to the ANSI format of the PST file.
One option is to get a 30 day trial of Outlook 2010 for your PC, create a new PST file in 2010 and import your 2003 PST into it. Then the PST will be Unicode and Mac Outlook 2011 should be able to import this PST.

Moving mail data from mail to Outlook for Mac.

I am moving old PC mail data (outlook 2007) to Mac. I used the mac mover, which was great but... it has moved my old mail data to mac mail. I am trying to export that data now (on the mac mail) to then import into Outlook for Mac, but not getting anywhere? Outlook support says it will import the data as a mac export txt file, but whenever i try and import Outlook can not see the file.
I have also tried to just export the mail data from one mac users mail app to another and that is also not working. Import mail function reports format error, even though it is from the same version of mail on the same machine.
any suggestion, links to info much appriciated.

Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.

Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

Is there a way to transfer old emails from apple mail to outlook for mac?

Why are missing items when import pst files to Outlook 2011 for mac?

Hello.
After installing Office 2011 for Mac I configured Outlook and it was allright.
But when I tried to import a pst file from the old laptop who has Office 2007, I found that in the Outlook 2011 Inbox I have only ~60% items comparative with the Outlook 2007 Inbox.
From Microsoft Office forums I've got an answer that there are indeed some reports with missing items when import pst in Outlook 2011 but the solution they gave me (create folders in Inbox before import) doesn't work.
Do you know something about this kind of problems?
Is it a feature in Outlook 2011 which automaticaly select/delete/combine items based on the similarity between them or based something else?
Have you an ideea how to finally use this macbook and in the same time all my old emails?
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.
