Importing emails to Mac MAil from Entourage

I just imported all of my emails from Entourage 2008 to Mac Mail. Although it seemed to go smoothly, setting up all the corresponding folders on "On My Mac", I've discovered that the sub-folders only contain the headers of the emails and none of the content!
Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks

OK Ignore that - I found that if i moved the subfolder up one level and then started a new folder and moved it back that the emails miraculously appeared. Strange bug!

Importing emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage

I've been trying to find a way to import emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage to mail. I want to change accounts so I can eventually use mobileme in the office I'm working at but don't want to have to go through the arduous process of having to copy everything manually into mail.
Has anyone found a fool-proof way of doing this yet ?
Thanks & cheers, Jan

Just imported everything myself for Entourage X a few weeks ago.
iCal will directly import Entourage's calendar.
Address book can be done to ways. In Entourage, open Address book, under the file tab select export contacts. This will save a .txt file on the desktop which can be imported by mail. Another way is to create a folder on the desktop, then highlight and drag all Entourage contacts to the folder which can also be imported. Either way, if you have more than one email address per contact, you may have to cut and paste those manually.
Mail will import email from Entourage directly. I had to import several times to get everything. In Mail under the File Tab, just click import mailboxes and select Entourage. Another window will open and you are able to pick which Entourage folders to import. All are selected initially.
As far as signatures, you most likely will need to cut and paste those manually.

Importing emails into mac mail

I am currently using hotmail through mac mail and will be switching to a personal domain email while still using mac mail.
How will my clients know that I switched my email? Do I have to email them all individually with my new email address?
2 questions:
1. Can I import a pages document containing all my clients emails into mac mail so that I can mass email them with 1 email wi thout them seeing the other recipients?
2. How do you I have all new emails forwarded from my hotmail to my new domain email?

Exporting / Importing email in Mac Mail

Hello. I needed to know how to export my emails in the native mac mail program and then how to export them. I have a new 160GB hd, and wanted to make sure I could switch them over a'ok.
Thanks, -- Kenny

Mail stores messages in .mbox format. You can export the mail by simply dragging any mailbox from the left side bar to the Desktop. It can then be imported by any mail program that supports the mbox format.
You can import from many different formats by opening Mail and selecting Import from the File menu.
Get assistance by selecting Mail Help from Mail's Help menu. This is the same as most all Mac applications.

Spent two hours on the phone today with BT. They escaleted the problem to a specialist support desk, which we then had to agree to paying a £30 charge if they were able to fix the problem as they say that it is a problem with mac mail. (Which it isn't because it works fine using a different broadband connection, and we have three laptops in the house all with same problem, using outlook as well as mail).
All three laptops have been working with out fault for the last four years and just before christmas they all stopped being able to send emails using hotmail. Obviously BT have changed something somewhere along the line.
The Specialist just changed our outgoing mail server to use BTs instead. (I have been using a different SMTP server anyway as a temporary fix since christmas) Whilst we are able to send emails, we are still unable to connect to hotmails SMTP server. Still had to pay the £30 though. As far as they are concerned that still counts as a fix. Another "solution" they gave me was to change the DNS address in system preferences- Not Ideal as everytime you connect your laptop to a new network you will have to reset them.An absolute joke.
Their direct number is 08000 321 118 if you need them to talk you through it. Best to have your bank card to hand.
Livid.

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion?il

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion? I don't really want to go back to Snow Leopard in order to access the old Microsoft Applications, but they simply aren't supported in Lion.

In Mail you can select Import Mailboxes... from the File menu. There is an import from Entourage feature.

Exporting emails from Mac Mail to Entourage

Is there a way to take ALL of the emails etc from Mac Mail & transfer them to Entourage is one easy step? - I have looked at importing them from Mac Mail with Entourage's 'import assistant'..but it doesn't give Mac Mail as an option to import from...any help gratefully received - thanks

Alex,
This thread is getting unbelievably messy for what originally was such a simple question. Nowhere did I say that the procedure I suggested was meant for a particular type of account or mailbox. It allows any messages to be exported in standard mbox format. It’s Stanley who mentioned IMAP as an alternative procedure to transfer mail between mail clients, and what I said in the post you’re replying to is precisely that IMAP has nothing to do with what I was talking about...
What does “suitable for archiving” mean? If you have any questions that have nothing to do with the problem of transferring mail from Mail to Entourage, which is what we’re supposed to be talking about here, please either find a thread that discusses the same questions or start a new topic to properly discuss them in their own thread instead of hijacking someone else’s thread. Here is a recent example of such a thread:

Importing Windows Outlook 2007 email to Mac Mail using Thunderbird Workaround Looses Some Messages

After being away from using a Mac for 5 years I'm back with an iMac.
I found this workaround to import Outook 2007 emails to Mac Mail using Thunderbird on the PC http://www.trickyways.com/2010/08/how-to-transfer-emails-from-outlook-to-apple-m ail/
On the PC Thunderbird imports all my Outlook messages correctly and all are there.
Then when I import the resulting Thunderbird mailboxes to Mac Mail some messages are being lost. The directory structure for my mail folders imports correctly, just that some messages are missing.
There are earlier posts here saying Eudora Mailbox Cleaner worked for people but this wont run on Mountain Lion.
So has anybody got any ideas on how the get all my Outlook e-mails to the Mac without losing anything?
What about software like Outlook2Mac, does it work fully or will I still have the same issue of some lost mail?
Can't believe I am having this problem migrating Window to Mac, you'd think it would work perfectly and not put people off from switching.
Cheers.

Okay I slept on it and had a brain wave.
I set up iCloud Mail on Outlook 2007. Then copy messages from my Outlook Inbox to iCloud Inbox.
On the Mac copy the messages from iCloud Inbox to a folder On My Mac so they never get lost if I delete the iCloud account.
Playing about with it and it seems to work fine. Any reason why it could cause issues?
I love it when a workaround comes together!

I loaded all of my Entourage emails into Mac Mail. Can I now upload them to mail service in iCloud?

Remember that the move/copy is taking place over the internet so it will take a while. I would copy instead of moving just in case of a failure.

Keep Mac Mail from Deleting Emails On Server

I have 2 Yahoo! acc'ts linked to Mac Mail.
On the first acc't, after all my emails downloaded, I then deleted all the emails in Mac Mail (didn't need them). When I logged back into my acc't in Yahoo! (on browser), I saw that, there too, all my emails had been deleted.
I need to keep this from happening in my 2nd acc't. How can I delete the emails within Mac Mail, WITHOUT deleting the emails from the server?
I'm using Mac Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hi
You will have to look at a POP3 account that leaves the mail on the server.
I have not seen a setting in active sync that stop mail from being deleted. If you make a change on your phone it will update the mailbox.
Mails will be in the deleted items. How are users "accidently" deleting mail when you actually have to press the delete/trash button?

Any one know how to retrieve mail from entourage in Lion?

Entourage is not supported in Lion. I am looking for a solution to import mail from entourage into Mail without going back to Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?

Okay, I am going to try downloading the trial version of Office for Mac with Outlook and see if it will find my Entourage 2004 emails/contacts. Then I will move them to Mail. I will report back if it works. (Not sure if Lion already ate all my email though!)

Retrieve e-mail from Entourage

Hello there,
I just upgraded to OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro, and found out my Microsoft Office 2004 no longer is compatible with it. Does anyone know how I can retrieve e-mails from Entourage. I had some important e-mails saved in folders. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Guillermo

Install Office 2008 or 2011 and it will import the mail.
Otherwise, I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products and the MS forums are obviously geared more toward your question.

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails? Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink. Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
Peter

Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Why can't I attach files to my emails in Mac Mail?

I've messed with the .webarchive and .mailsignature to create myself an HTML email signature. After completing that, which worked, I can now no longer attach files to my emails in Mac Mail. I can click the attachment button, browse to the attachment and hit okay, but it shows nothing in the email and seems to freeze up. I have since replaced those .webarchive and .mailsignature files with the originals from Apple and restarted the computer but still am not able to attach files to my emails. Any help?
Thank you.

Except for the first response, all of you are unhelpful. The email was configured. Apple contacted me about the issue and said that the iPad cannot attach multiple docs to a single email regardless of whether the docs are located on the iCloud, in Pages, or a dropbox. It's operating system is not designed to do so (a stupid error if they are promoting the use of iPads for business and productivity, or even fields like architecture, design, and marketing, or even as an office alternative for remote use in meetings...which they are in professional consultations with offices). It also cannot do this through an alternate email site like a university server, yahoo, gmail, etc via Safari. Apple also cannot recommend a third party App that can do so. What they recommended, and there seems to be a lot of buzz about this being a problem with the iPad on the Internet, is that people go to their website, go to product feedback and go to enhancement requests and request the capacity to attach different types of files other than photos, and the capacity to attach multiple documents to an email. Basic functions...any email user would want. One of the Apple techs even thought it was implausible that they hadn't integrated this function ALREADY, when I called to set up the appointment.
