Importing Outlook express folders into mail on intel imac ?

I was running outlook express on os 9.1 G3 and need to import the folders into mail on my fab new mac intel...
Any advice/help much appreciated as always
Many thanks
Steve

Steve,
Your OE messages are in a folder called Identities within one called Microsoft User Data. A first step might be to copy the MUD folder or the Identities folder to a disk and transfer it to you new Mac's desktop.
A few years ago, I transferred my mail from OE on a G3 running OS 9 to my flat panel iMac running OS X. At the time I made use of running OE in Classic on my new iMac. Your Intel Mac will not run Classic so the approach will be a little different.
I've read of people being able to import the OE messages into Entourage on their new Mac and then getting them into Apple's Mail. If you have Office for Mac you can try this, or you can try it using the 30 day free trial of Office.
Until you complete the transfer, keep everything intact on your old Mac. Do not delete OE. And whatever you do, do not delete the MUD folder or the Identities folder!
Post back,
Steve M.

How to import Outlook Express WAB into TB

I copied a WAB file that was exported from Outlook Express in a Windows XP machine onto the desktop of a different computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I then clicked on import > address book> Outlook Express file. It says done, but it never finds the WAB to import and the new address book it created is empty. Where do I need to place the old WAB file for TB to import it? Or, am I doing something else wrong?

Importing pc outlook express contacts into mail on new mac

Hello,
I've been looking thru the support archives and can't find anything current on this issue (archived stuff is 2009). Is there any easy way to import your contact info from pc outlook express to mail 4.5 on a new macbook pro? I'm not sure which version the outlook express is, (it's my father-in-law's machine) he just made the switch to a mac. He is not very computer savy, hence the reason I am posting the question... I have looked at o2mac and was wondering if it can be done easily without purchasing an outside application... I have a brother-in-law who is working on the problem but he is soo pc oriented that he cannot find himself around the mac without thinking in pc-mode so I'm now trying to help (I'm AM a mac person...) but not outlook! He says that when he tries to import it comes in all gobbley-gooked (his words)....
Any help appreciated!

Import outlook 2011 contacts into mail

trying to move from Outlooks 2011 for Mac into Mac Mail and really struggling.
Mail doesn't seem to import anything but 'mailboxes' and doesn't seem to read any of the export formats Outlooks offers. (Outlook says tab delimited, Mail claims to want a CSV)
I can't even figure out how to DISPLAY contacts in Mail. If I know the email address it will autocomplete, and it says add sender but doesn't seem to ask for a name.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

You want to export your contacts as a vcard if that is an option, then import them into Contacts, not Mail. Mail use Contacts.
To display Contacts in Mail, click New Message, and then the blue + sign at the far right of the To field.

Can I import 5 years of email from Win Outlook Express to Apple Mail?

This looks like a large problem.
I'm trying to import 5 yrs worth of email, all categorized in sub-directories within the WIN version of Outlook Express 6, into the current version of Apple Mail.
Can this be done? If so, how?
While Outlook Express is listed on the import panel of Apple Mail, I believe it means the Mac version of OE from MS Office 4. I have that, but it's not installed.
Could I install it, somehow import the WIN OE 6 mail into that, and THEN import into Apple Mail?
Or is there (we live in hope) an easier way?
1000 thanks!

You may use O2M, or you may import your mail into Thunderbird on the PC, then use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import that into Apple’s Mail.

Can I import my emails from Outlook and Outlook express backup to Mail

Hi
I have saved a lot of my emails from when I was using PC, using Outlook. I have since just been using webmail.
I now want to import it into Mail, as I have an imac that I use all the time. Can this be done? If so how, and how easy is it?
Also is there a free way to do it, seen a few progs but have to pay for them.
cheers

Ah i see, bit of a long winded way but if this is the only way then I'll have to.
I would have thought you ould go from Outlook/Outlook express to Apple mail straight away though?
Anyone else please? surely this must have been done when people became Apple Mac users? from PC users?
cheers

Import Outlook Express from only data files

I am working with a person who recently bought a new Mac. She has a complete backup image of her old hard drive saved on DVD but she has already gotten rid of the old Mac. On her old Mac, she used OS 9 and Outlook Express for E-mail. She had several hundred messages saved that she wants imported into Mail in OS X. However when I go to import the Outlook mailboxes, Mail says "Outlook and Classic will be started." Is it actually necessary that I install Classic support, install Outlook Express inside Classic, and drop in the data files, simply to import the mailboxes? The messages are obviosuly contained in one file named "Messages" in the previous /Documents/Microsoft Userdata/Identities/Main Identity folder - the "Messagse" file is somewhere along the lines of 200MB in size. Also, what will I do when Intel macs start to hit the streets that can't even boot Classic in the first place? Are there other OS-X only ways to import Outlook Express data files into Mail?

Before going for any third party utility, I think you should try the free Outlook Express basic repair kit provided by Microsoft, which include:
Deletion of temporary internet files
Compacting all folders
Re-register Outlook Express and its libraries
For more: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398839
If you does not find any of these above given solutiona helpful, then you can for any third party recovery solution (as you can Google it)

How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

Conversion from Outlook Express to Apple mail.

I just bought an IMac. Fine, but how do I transfer all my mail history and contacts from Outlook Express to Apple mail?
Rudolpf

Try using a search engine with the following: outlook express to apple mail
There are several programs that can do this for you.
On a 4 year old discussion, I read if you have the Outlook Express data file, you can directly import the data.

Importing pages and folders into a site

How do I import pages and folders into a site? Dreamweaver
must be able to account for all additions and changes, so that it
can update as appropriate. We know it is not a good idea to move
stuff into a site via the Finder (on the Mac, for instance). But
when I search LiveDocs, and this forum, I find no pointers for
bringing whole pages and folders into an existing site.
My thanks in advance, David Allen

Copy/paste within your site's root folder. They will be there
when you go
to the site in DW.
HOWEVER, if a page you are copying requires files external to
the page,
those files must be copied in as well. And, they must be in
the same folder
names that they were in prior to the copy.

I am using outlook express for my mail. When using internet explorer on PC I could set it up so I could simultaneously see all my inboxes, the mail details and a message preview. Can I do this on my Mac?

I am using outlook express for my mail. When using internet explorer on PC I could set it up so I could simultaneously see all my inboxes, the mail details and a message preview. Can I do this on my Mac?

About accessing using a browser: I can get in using Firefox or Safari, butI cant set the page up to see all my inboxes at the same time (so I can file emails appropriately) or get a preview to save opening every mail

Move hotmail from Outlook Express (on PC) to iMail (on iMAC)

I have just migrtaed from PC to MAC - so be gentle with me...
I have several email pop3 accounts (hotmail, o2, gmail etc) that on my old PC I used via Outlook Express or Live Mail. Obviously all the mail that still sits on the Servers in the Inbox can be down loaded into iMail - I've lreay done this by creating the accounts in iMail and syncing
My problems are, how do I:-
1. Get previously sent mail into iMail account - only inbox mail appears to come accross into iMail when I sync
2. Copy mail (inbox and sent box) that is sitting on my PC in OE and not on the server into iMail
3. copy my address book from OE to iMail
Many thanks.

see this link for a few methods of transferring your mail from outlook to Mail.
http://guides.macrumors.com/MovingEmail_from_PC_Outlook_to_AppleMail
btw, the simplest method is to use an IMAP email account. then you don't need to transfer anything as it's all synced with the server at all times. you can even use it to transfer messages on other accounts and local mailboxes by temporarily moving them to the inbox of that IMAP account. gmail provides IMAP access and it is the default in snow leopard Mail btw. so if you let snow leopard Mail set up you gmail account automatically it will create it as IMAP.

Can't import from OUTLOOK EXPRESS 5 to Mail

I was trying to import contacts and e-mails from OUTLOOK EXPRESS and somehow all my information seemed to be erased from OUTLOOK.
When I try to open it up it doesn't have all my emails and addresses. It's as if it just got installed. I don't know where to look for this info in my hard drive.
Called APPLE and they told me that it could be that it got corrupted and deleted.
I have years of information in there. Any suggestions?

Outlook 5 -> Mail
You can't go directly from Outlook 5 to Mail but you can do Outlook 5 -> Entourage -> Mail and that works very well
Your mail in Outlook 5 (I am assuming you're running Outloook Express 5.x under OS 9.2.x) is in the MUD folder. You'll find it in Documents > Microsoft User Data > Identities > Main Identity
If the Main identity is empty do a search for "Main Identity" and see if there are any other folders of the same name
If you can't locate it, restore it from a backup, import it into Entourage and then into Mail
