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)

Sending and saving mail message with .msg extension

How can I save the mail message when sending with .msg extension , so that when user click on the saved message it will open in OutLook Express. ?

I already tried the one u suggest , MimeMessage has a method
writeTo(OutputStream) which can be used to save the message with .msg extension .... But the main problem arises when trying to open it in OutLook .....
It gives some error .... I think that it may be because of format .. .msg has binary format while MimeMessage is in another format ....
is there any way to convert MimeMessage to binary and then save it in .msg file .

When I send e-mail messages with file by using a POP3 in Exchange 2010 I received delivered message with file. How I can disable this functions that file do not include to delivery message. I use Exchange 2010 only local users.

I think there is not native rule for this, but you could try a transport rule which removes all attachments over a very small file size like 1KB.

Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

Hi mates,
I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
Any help will be appreciate
Stefano.
P.S.
I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks mate for your reply
When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
Bye,
Stefano.

Display problems in Mail messages with image attachment

Issue: Seeing intermittent display problems in Mail messages with image attachments
Annoyance level: minor, but Apple techs need to pass it along
Details: Regardless of mail client sending to iPhone (Outlook, OWA, Yahoo, Gmail) there are intermittent and what appear to be random occurrances of the pic being half rendered and/or the pic never loading (followed by message saying it can't be retrieved from server). In some instances the picture then appears fully rendered without a problem. Note: Image sizes varied from 14KB to 450KB

Hi,
I'm not familiar with C#, but if possible try the following:
1. Removing all thead and tbody tags from the body of the message.
2. Changing all inline CSS to embedded CSS.
I've seen a user said the message stopped showing up after making the changes.
If the issue persists, please note, since Outlook 2007, Outlook opens the HTML Email and converts it to Microsoft Word format before displaying it to the user. What happens during this process is that many CSS attributes and HTML support is completely removed.
Some of the most notable absences are background-image, and padding and margin support. Hardly can we do much about this, so the message "If there are problems with how this email is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" is actually
a good workaround when we face this problem.

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached?

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached? I receive the following message:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Is there a fix for this?

Anyone? I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'... but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me. I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it. But still having the same issue.

Help with importing Mail messages from cloned system

I decided to format and reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac. Before I did, I backed everything up and, following Apples instructions, thought I had saved all my mail messages etc. It didnt work, or at least, I couldnt get it to work!
So, I need help getting my messages back.
I have Time Machine on an external firewire drive but cant access backups earlier than my recent new install. I also have a clone of my old installation on an external ( USB) drive that I can boot to that contains all of the earlier Mail messages I want.
How can I move the mail messages from that account to my new installation?

Importing Mail Messages into Mail

i have copied mail from an older computer across to my current macbook.
I can read the emix files,,, they are in a folder called Library/Mail/Mailboxes/xxx.Mbox/messages (copied across from the older computer)
I Can't import these into my mail ???
I thought this would be a easy thing but i tried for days with no luck,,,,
They are there ,, i can open them and read them as individual emails with filenames such as 950.emix But how do i get them into my Mail App ???
Thanks
Glyn

Glyn,
You can import a mailbox, or groups of mailboxes, and this can include a mailbox of the standard type, such as the Inbox from an account, BUT not as the new Inbox, but only as another On My Mac mailbox. However, once imported its messages can be transferred as desired, to the account Inbox (and Sent) now on the new computer.
Import as type OSX, and import from each account folder, and the Mailboxes folder separately.

Imported Mail messages not loading

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion (finally) and the imported messages into my new version of Mail take ages to load, some of them dont load at all. I just get the spinning cartwheel of infinity and nothing else. Newly received messages are fine. Its just the older pre-upgrade ones.
Can anyone help?
Referring to old emails is something I need to do on a daily basis.
Cheers

Quit Mail.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

Trouble importing mail messages

After some software trouble (repaired by Apple technitions) I now need to import my Mail messages back into the Mail program but the process does not move beyond the second scree "Preparing to import messages". I waited a better part of 40 minutes without any change.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.

Mail message with attachments

I use iMacs for work. I often send email messages with attachments using Mail. Often, when sending email messages to Windows users (they are out there still), they will reply that they cannot open "the second attachment." The message seems to "pick up" a second apparent attachment, which is generally just a few K in size, and is not part of the original message or attachment. Unfortunately, though, it tricks the recipient into thinking that there are two attachments and the second one is meaningful So then they respond and I have to assure them that the second attachment is irrelevant and can be ignored.
Any thoughts on how to fix this, so outgoing email messages will only present the intended attachment?

That's a great question. I do use a signature, but inasmuch as it is simply text pre-inserted in the email message, I would be surprised if the signature somehow became stripped out and converted to an attachment. Nonetheless, I will try deleting the signature to see if that makes any difference.

E-mail messages with text in the form of an attached file?

Some of the e-mails I send are being received without any text but with my original message in the form of an attachment together with any other attachments I have sent. This results in some people not opening my mails or at least not understanding why I'm sending the attachments. Is this a compatibility problem? Is there anything I can do about the fact that not everybody in the world has a Mac? I thought the system of Windows friendly messages avoided this problem. Look forward to hearing anyone's thoughts on the matter and especially finding a solution.
Best,
Ken

Perhaps the boolean expression isn't working because it needs to be all caps: YES instead of yes
In any case, a simple 1 or 0 works just fine for me without -bool:
The command to disable in-line attachments (all attachments appear as icons)
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
To command to (re-)enable in-line attachments once disabled (all attachments appear as images or documents displayed in-line)
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
Also, when composing a new message with an attachment, be certain that 'Send Windows-Friendly Attachments' is checkmarked at the bottom of the new message screen:

AIA 11gR1 Mail Message with an XML payload

Hi,
I'm currently facing an issue related to message payload which is itself a XML fragment.
Use case: The business requires some error out record to notify to the Business users as an XML payload in the mail message body whichis generated in the process flow.
Reported Issue: The default MIME TYPE with text/html is unable to send the XML payload in body part. I get a blank message body in the mail.
Any useful thoughts is welcome.
Regards
Soumya

Which version are you using? I also had problems with XML as the payload with 9i Rel. 1. I upgraded to Rel. 2 and it works o.k.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
