Importing .pst files into mail without a PC

Hello to all those lovely Mac users,
I've got an Outlook .pst file on CD. How can I import mail messages
b without having access to a PC???
The only OS X email client I'm aware of that supports .pst files is entourage 2004 + pst importer for entourage. I, however, only have Office X which is not supported by pst importer. Nor is Office 2004 Test drive.
Thunderbird for OS X is a dead end as well.
Please help me!

You should probably take a look at one of the following options:
• ol2mbox (free): http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox
• O2M ($10): http://www.littlemachines.com/

  • Import emlx files into Mail

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to Yosemite - and also recently had a trojan that gave me lots of pop-ups - don't know which of these things was the cause,
    but this weekend my Mail had problems connecting to my e-mail provider - one.com. I talked to their chat support - and they said I used the wrong settings,
    so following their instructions I switched from pop3 to IMAP. Then my email worked again.
    But it also deleted my entire e-mail history since 2008! With thousands of important work mails!
    plus I haven't run Time Machine in like two years (yes I know...) . So it's been a pretty ****** day.
    Anyway i bought a software uFlysoft Data Recovery that have found lots of these deleted e-mails.
    It also recovered them and put them into 10 different folders with 5000 emails each.
    So there seems to be hope.
    But now I can't import these emlx files into mail again. Tried creating a mbox folder under Library/Mail - pasting and importing back. But no success there.
    I guess because the files aren't structured in way that Mail can read? If anyone could help me with this that would be absolutely fantastic.
    Thanks,
    George

  • Import .pst files to Mail

    Just acquired a macbook air and was wondering if there was a problem importing all mi .PST files from outlook into MAIL
    Thank you

    .PST is Microsofts proprietary container for Notes, Mail, Calendars and Contacts. Mail can not import it.
    If it is only Mail that you want I suggest that you buy a copy of Emailchemy.

  • How to import PST file into Entourage 2004 ?

    Hello all,
    I wonder if somebody can help. I just recently threw my Windows PC out and replaced it by an iMac - I just love it !
    One thing still challenges me though. I got all the old contacts and emails in a PST file format, Outlook 2003.
    Can anybody tell me how I convert/import them into Entourage 2004 ?
    Thanks very much for your help in advance
    Lenochka

    The best way is through an exchange server. If you don't have access to one, then there are two more options from the site mentioned above (http://www.entourage.mvps.org/cross_platform/#pst):
    "Other options to convert your Outlook mail into the MBOX format.
    Use Mozilla Mail. See Dave Riches tutorial here
    Use Paul Berkowitz's Export-Import Scripts download here"

  • Importing pst files into entourage

    I am using Entourage to interface with our Microsoft exchange server and its working fine.
    However I have all my old Outlook 2004 emails stored as pst files which i used to access offline via Outlook before i bought a Mac
    Is there any way i can import these "old" emails into Entourage to give me the same functionality?

    PST to Entourage conversion is one of those disgraceful "gaps" that demonstrates Microsofts unwillingness to engage with customers.
    There is no built-in mechanism. There are, however, some work-around methods:
    1. Export Data from Outlook to Mozilla Mail (or ThunderBird). Then import into Entourage:
    http://www.riches.com.au/articles/export-outlook-entourage.htm
    2. Do the same, but use Outlook Express as the conduit: http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/9928
    3. Buy a third-party solution: http://www.littlemachines.com/ Make sure you check for a refunds policy in case it does not work!
    4. Microsofts solution: Convert the PST to Outlook 2001 (Mac Classic) format. Then use a PST Import Tool to get the data into Entourage. Requires you to have a PPC Mac running Classic..... (http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2007/08/importingfrom_outlook_forwin.html).

  • Import entourage files into mail

    I just upgraded without I guess reading the fine print. I used Entourage for my e-mails and can't open it anymore with OS X Lion. How can I import my thousands of mails and archived stuff into Apple Mail?

    I haven't been able to get a 100% successful import from mail.app (2.0) into Entourage 2004 (latest update). For example, if I import a mail 2.0 account with 2000+ messages (sorted in various folders and subfolders) into entourage 2004, random messages aren't imported, missing attachments, etc.
    Also, I've never come across anyone saying this CAN work because Entourage 2004 doesn't understand the new .elmx format.
    But, using this tool...
    http://www.cosmicsoft.net/emlxconvert.html
    ...and following these instructions...
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2005/11/archiveemlx/index.php
    ...I've been able to successfully import mail 2.0 accounts/message/mailboxes into Entourage 2004 (though, takes a little manual grunt work, but works none the less).
    Regards,
    Kristin.

  • Importing eml files into Mail

    Hi,
    I have thousands of emails that I need to import into Mail (v 2.0.7) for archival purposes. We want to start using Mail as the default e-mail client and all of our current e-mail messages are in "eml" format which can be read by Entrouage. We need to have access to these old e-mails for refrence, etc.
    I have tried going through the Mail import option with no luck. It appears to only want to import mbox files. I understand that Mail uses mbox files which-in turn-contain emlx files. This is so spotlight can search them.
    So my question is how do I convert the eml files to emlx files?
    And once they are emlx files how do I get them into Mail?
    Thanks!
    Dual 2.7 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I go under file/import mailboxes.
    Then I am given the options of:
    Microsoft Entourage
    Outlook Express
    Claris Emailer
    Netscape/Mozilla
    Eudora
    Mail for Mac OS X
    Other
    I select "other" and then click continue. I then navigate to the desktop and find the folder that has the .eml files in it, and click "choose."
    I then get a dialog box saying "Error, No valid mbox files were found." I click "OK" and am left with a dialog with a blank list of items to import. This is where I am stuck.
    Now I've downloaded "emlx to mbox converter" but the files I have are .eml not .emlx
    I have searched the web in vain for how to convert .eml to .emlx. Simply changing the suffix on a file does not do it. I've tried that and then used the emlx to mbox converter and ran it through the Mail import process—no go.
    So where I am now is a folder full of .eml files that I need to convert to .emlx files. Once I have those I can run the emlx to mbox converter.
    Thanks for any guidance you can give.

  • In PSE 9.0, how do I import from files into organizer without duplicating images already in the orga

    In PSE 9.0, how do I import images from hard drive files into the organizer without importing duplicated files already in the organizer or
    How do I find duplicated images within the organizer so that I can delete them?

    I imported a bunch of photos from iPhoto 4 on one machine to iPhoto 5 on another, expecting it to catch duplicates, without testing beforehand (duh). It didn't catch them, and now I'm trying to figure out which were the imported ones so I can delete them.
    As this looks to be a laborious task if done from within iPhoto, and deleting the files via the Finder is a no-no -- assuming I can even identify the duplicates -- is there a third-party app, or even a good trick, for doing this?

  • Importing .pst files into Logic

    I have downloaded ES2 presets that are mostly .pst files. I was wondering how do I get them into Logic and more specifically the ES2 menu? When I click on them I get the 'ol "There is no default application to open the specified document..." I also tried dragging files into ES2 library and drop down menu. What's next?

    Hi
    Logic presets and Channel Strips can 'live' in 2 places:
    Either:
    Library:Application Support:Logic:Plug-In Settings
    Library:Application Support:Logic:Channel Strip Settings
    Or
    <User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Plug-In Settings
    <User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Channel Strip Settings
    Note that there are sub-folders inside each!.

  • How can I import .pst files into ES2?

    I downloaded a set of patches for ES2 and only see the option to "load" them for a single use.  How do I import them so I can pull them up through the interface menu?  They are in .PST file format.
    I tried searching and the file structure didn't match how Mavericks does it with Logic Pro X.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

  • Importing AVCHD files into FCE without a camera

    I have a folder of AVCHD files and am unable to open them via Log and Transfer. I don't have access to the camera, I was given the files already in a folder which I copied to my drive. I believe the folder I have contains the entire AVCHD directory structure. They are not just MTS files.
    When I use the import button in Log and Transfer, all the files are grayed out, and when I try to drag any files or folders over to the queue, I get a warning message saying that it contains unsupported media.
    I'm guessing this is because it is looking for a camera and there is no camera?
    I currently have a workaround where I convert the MTS file using third-party trial software, but before I go and buy another piece of software, is there any way I can import these files from within FCE?

    Still grayed out, from the top level on down. I've tried each level. I must not have a complete directory tree then.
    My structure is:
    PRIVATE > AVCHD > AVCHDTN / BDMV / IISVPL > …
    Each of the slashes represents a separate folder, and the MTS files are stored in the BDMV > STREAM folder.
    I'm told by the camera owner that "PRIVATE" is what the camera automatically names the entire thing and that everything contained within it are the complete contents of the drive. He says that he copies the same thing to a USB drive and it opens fine for him.

  • Can't import mbox file into Mail anymore

    Hi all, I am getting nowhere with this issue...I have archived my Apple Mail inbox and then turned around and imported it into Apple Mail (so as to have it on the local computer, not the network) many times in the past. It no longer works. I got to File>Import Mailboxes. I get the window "Import data from:" and my choices for file formats are "Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format." I first chose "Files in mbox format" as I have in the past. I hit "Continue." I go to the folder where I keep my archived mail. I click the containing file for my most recent export, "Inbox 5.mbox." This opens a new window listing "Items to import" that I may check off. Every item on this list is an old mbox folder. My new export folder doesn't show up. If I go back, open the containing file I mentioned above, "Inbox 5.mbox" and click the actual mbox file, I get the message, "no valid mbox files were found."
    I've found other threads referring to this and some say the solution is to pick the "Mail from Mac OSX" data type from the import list, the problem is, this is not an option for me!
    If anyone can help I would appreciate it, this is really frustrating...

    We have users who have been importing collections of old pine and alpine messages who are having problems since switching to SL.
    I discovered that alpine has been saving to MBX format, so users ende dup with collections of mixed mbox and MBX files. The "file" command can tell you which file is which format. There is an old program called "mailutil" that can be used to convert MBX to mbox (available in linux "uw-imap" packages). It is also in MacPorts imap-uw, but the latter is not maintained and appears aimed at older versions of MacOSX. There is also a FileImport plugin for Euroda_OSE that seems to handle more of the .mbox files than Apple Mail does, but still has problems with .mbox files from pine for the period 2002--2005. The file command indicates the problem files have long lines. I tried splitting one of the files
    using mh inc, but it had 1000's of messages and a large fraction have the long lines problem.
    Can you read the archived messages using "mail -f <filename>"? What does "file" say?

  • Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

    While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding.  We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
    Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence.  We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
    How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user?  I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
    again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
    We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

    Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias.  i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
    "\\server\share\jsmith"
    "\\server\share\tjones"
    "\\server\share\rsmith"
    "\\server\share\bspears"
    "\\server\share\mmouse"
    And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
    foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
    If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder. 
    "Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
    Error details: Could
     not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.

  • How to import .eml files to Mail.app?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find a less tedious way to migrate from Gmail to iCloud. Trying to drag and drop (or simply move via mail.app options) results in errors. I've been able to move over about 10000 of my 60000 messages so far, but it's been a long process disrupted by the aforementioned errors. Therefore, I've decided to simply download the Gmail messages. Unfortunately, they are in .eml files. Obviously I can open them in mail.app if I ever need them, but it would be much easier to import them into mail.app so they are on the iCloud server on not on my mac. This is good because it saves room on my mac, and also makes searching for old messages easier.
    So my question is (and I've been searching all over for this), is there still no way to import .eml files into mail.app? Are there no programs that can at least convert .eml to .mbox?
    A workable solution would be a time (life) saver and greatly appreciated!!!

    In case anyone runs into this issue in the future, here is how I moved Gmail messages to iCloud.
    1) Download an app for mac called Backup Gmail. Proceed to backup all your Gmail messages to your mac by following instructions given. The files will be in .eml.
    2) Download emailchemy from the link above. Proceed to convert .eml messages to .mbox.
    3) Open mail.app and go to File > Import Mailboxes. Follow on screen instructions. Depending on how many messages you have, this can take a while. When done you will see a folder called "import-1" in your mail.app under On My Mac. At this point your Gmail messages are able to be used in mail.app and if you are happy with this, don't go to step 4. In step 4 we will move the messages to your iCloud server.
    4) This is where things get tedious and tricky if you have a lot of messages. Go to each folder in your "import-1" folder and select all messages. Then drag and drop them either in your iCloud inbox or any designated folder in iCloud. It appears that your sent messages are mixed in here, so it's not a clean solution, but the best one I've found so far. This process can take a long time if you have a lot of messages and you might run into some errors, but it works.s
    If anyone has an easier solution, please do share!

  • PST Capture error when trying to import .PST files

    I am currently migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 on prem.  I have installed PST Capture 2.0 and 64-bit Outlook 2013 on a Windows 2008 R2 machine and have installed the PST Capture 2.0 agent on a workstation that has some .pst files
    on it.  PST Capture finds all the .pst files on the workstation, but when I use PST Capture to try to import PST files into a mailbox on Exchange 2013, I get the error "Import error: Error opening mailbox [email protected]".
    I created a userID with a mailbox to run PST Capture.  Based on the instructions at
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh781035%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx I have made that user a member of the groups that are assigned the Public Folder Management role, the Mailbox Import Export role and the Organizational Management role.  The
    user is also a local admin on the machine running the PST Capture console.  While the error sounds like a permissions issue, these are the only permissions I could find documented for PST Capture.  I am starting PST Capture with "Run as administrator"
    Any ideas why this isn't working?  Are there any other permissions that the PST Capture user needs?  Is there anything else I need to do?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Generally PST capture tool allows you to search for PST files & import these PST files
    to the mailboxes but as your account is not getting connected, so you need to check settings of your PST Capture tool :
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh781032(v=exchg.141).aspx
    If this solution does not work out for you, then I would advise you to use any professional
    tool for exchange migration like CodeTwo , Stellar. From my personal experience, I would recommend you to go for Stellar Mailbox Extractor for Exchange Server as it migrated my mailboxes to another Exchange Server in quick time.
