Importing eMail from NetScape 7.2 to Mail 2.1?

I am trying to import eMail from NetScape 7.2 to Mail 2.1. Is this possible? In Mail Help it sort of implies that this may not work but it never says it won't work!
Thanks,
-Joe

Not sure what you mean about Mail Help implying that it may not work. It should work doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format, but you’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion, adapting the instructions for Mozilla/Thunderbird to your particular situation (the mailbox format used by Netscape and Mozilla/Thunderbird is the same).
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards, but instead of rebuilding them one by one, you may re-create the entire index as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Problem importing email from Netscape

I am trying to switch from Netscape 7.2 Mail to Apple's Mail version 1.3.11 (running under Mac OS X 10.3.9). When I import a mailbox I find that several messages are not being imported. In some cases only 2 or 3 messages are brought over from a total of about 40. I can copy the left-behind messages to another temporary mailbox and then import it but again some messages are left behind. It almost seems that if a message is quoted in another message then it is left behind. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Import emails from Gmail / Google - Importar e-mails do Gmail / Google

I am gmail User and would like to import all mail to iCloud.com, because I want to start using the service from apple as my primary email. The issue is that I have many emails (70,000 +) and I can not import via a POP3 service. Could someone give me a hint?
Sou usuario do Gmail e gostaria de importar todos os emails para o iCloud.com, pois quero passar a usar o serviço da apple como meu email principal. A questão é que tenho muitos emails (+ 70 mil) e não tenho como importar atraves de um serviço POP3. Alguem poderia me dar uma sugestão?

You might want to rethink your strategy. All those emails, if put on icloud will count toward you free 5GB limit. Maybe start of moving some of those emails.
Using your computer, just drag-drop emails in the gmail box(es) into some mailbox in the icloud section. I'd do a few at a time, 70K+ files to move at once might cause problems.

Importing email from Cyrus into OS X Mail?

Hi all,
I have a FreeBSD machine running Cyrus 2.1.18 (a bit old, I know) and I am contemplating migrating to OS X Tiger Server's Mail. I noticed that it runs Cyrus for the IMAP mail delivery, but I can't find which version. Does anyone know about compatability for importing mail heirarchies, and if anyone has already done so, how did you go about it? Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, I figured out that this would be a long, tedious, pain in the butt process, so instead I am simply setting up a server, forwarding users mail to that server via aliases, and literally just dragging-and-dropping messages and folders within the mail client. This allows me to just convert a few people at a time without dropping any messages.

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

Import email from 3g to 5s

I cannot import email from yahoo- 3g to 5s

I just downloaded and installed Thunderbird to test importing from Mail. I go through the import wizard and when I get to the end of it I get the following message
Mail was successfully imported from Mail
No mailboxes were found to import
After each import attempt a new import folder is created but no messages are imported.
As this is pretty much the same end result from using the Outlook import wizard as well, I want to say that this might not be a Outlook issue.

Can't import emails from outlook express into mail

Just bought a macbook, I'm new into MAC, I'm a MAC ROOKIE. I'm trying to import my email from my microsoft outlook express to my MAC MAIL, I followed the instructions to import from outlook but when I locate the outlook files for my emails (they have extension .dbx but it won't let me select the files. Besides in the outlook folder there are dozens of files (1 per email subfolder). What am I doing wrong that I can't import the emails, nor the address book?
Thxs!!!

Pay attention to the information Mail displays during the import process. It could be that it wants you to select the folder that contains the files to be imported, rather than the files themselves.
EDITED: Now that I've read your post again, I don't think you're going to be able to do this on your MacBook, as importing from Outlook Express requires that application to be running in the "Classic" environment, which isn't available for Intel-based Macs.
Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how importing from Outlook Express is supposed to work, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Can't import emails from mail

I've given up on Lion and downgraded. However, I can't seem to import emails back into the SL mail app from the mailboxes created in the ML mail app over the last several months. Is there some method to do this? I need several things from previous correspondence.

Import email from Mail to Outlook

I just recently upgraded my OS to Lion, and I am pleased with it so far. I have run into an issue with regards to e-mail though. I was using Mail for my default mail client, but have decided to switch to Outlook 2011 Mac for personal reasons. MS Office 2011 for Mac was installed prior to upgrading Lion. When I try to import messages from Mail, the import process creates a folder in Outlook, but no messages are imported. As soon as I select Ok to start the Import Wizard, it will immediate finish with no messages imported. I have spoken to another person and they confirmed that the import failed as well for them, they have upgraded to Lion as well. I am asking if this is a known issue with Lion or just coincident.
Thanks for any and all support/solutions.

This is not a Firefox question.
You have to export your contacts in CSV format, then import them into Gmail. For your other question, see the Gmail support page.

Do imported emails from pst files get saved to Exchange Server?

So I exported a user's email into a pst file and I'm importing all of them into his new email address. My question is whether these newly imported emails will be only available locally or will they be uploaded into the Exchange server (which is TWC's
hosted service) and therefore he'll be able to access them from his phone as well? If they are not uploaded, how would I go about to making these emails available on his phone through his new email address as well then?

Hi th0rax,
yes, if you imported mails from a PST file to the Exchange Mailbox you will be able to Access them from Outlook, OWA and ActiveSync where you habe Access to your Mailbox.
I suggest you should do that via new-mailboximportrequest (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff607310(v=exchg.150).aspx) if it is a big PST file and maybe a longer
list of users.
You can also Import via Outlook but in that case you need to have that Outlook Client running until "All Folders are up to date" and the new Mailbox Content was replicated to your Servers Mailbox after the Import was done.

Martin

Unable to send email from my server to internet mail address. Labview.

I have had great success sending mail when I SMTP to the actual mail server that the email address is on. But when I try to send from my server to some other email address I get an unable to relay "email address" server response. If someone has any ideas on this I would appreciate it. I have included some information that may aid in this endeavor. (I do not want to use Active X thanks to Outlook's dislike of that)
Example:
[email protected] email to mail.bellsouth.net works fine. [email protected] email to mail.company.com works fine. [email protected] from mail.company.com gives unable to relay message. (Vice Versa)
Exact server response from SendEmail_LV6.vi from developer zone: (

220 server.company.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.5329 ready at Fri, 23 Jan 2004 10:27:22 -0600
250 server.company.com Hello [10.1.1.176]
250 2.1.0 [email protected]...Sender OK
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]
554 5.5.2 No valid recipients
500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command

I agree, it is ususual for an SMTP server to check the validity of the reverse-path address, because mailers could just use a invalid address on a valid domain, e.g. [email protected] The address in the "MAIL FROM:" command gives the reverse path to communicate errors and can be different from the actual sender address.
In any case, this is quite irrelevant for the current discussion, because address verification has nothing to do with relaying.
The error message:
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]
is completely unrelated to your:
450 Unable to find nowhere.com
Just to clarify, I was talking about address in the FROM: field of the message header, and not what is
communicated in the "MAIL FROM:" SMTP command. (Similarly, the TO: field in the header is not used for message targeting and can be anything, it can even be missing and the SMTP server still does not care. Targeting is done entirely with the RCPT TO: SMTP command which not contained in the header (the mail header is part of the message DATA). Refer to RFC 821 for further details.
You probably won't find a legitimate SMTP server that allows relaying, so the solution is to use the designated SMTP server for the particular location.
