Leopard Mail & Outlook Express 6.0

For all of you struggling to get your mail clients to connect via POP to your standard Leopard Mail Installation - here's what I found.
They don't work well together...
I found that everything works great with the same configuration settings with the Thunderbird mail client. I suspect that Outlook Express just finally fell off the usability wagon...
Cheers,
Scott

It takes some extra doing to get a standards-compliant mailserver like Postfix to accept non standards-compliant Windows mail software.
However, if you mean 6.0 then you're talking XP pre- SP2 which you shouldn't be using at this point.
Setup an alternate ("submission") port in /etc/postfix/master.cf
This will enable ssl but not require it. Personally I *do NOT* recommend making this port available outside your firewall, - but you may need to - proceed at your own risk.
Then set the client to use this port (587)
587 inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpdclientrestrictions=
-o smtpdrecipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauthdestination,reject
-o smtpdusetls=yes
-o smtpdenforcetls=no
-o content_filter=

I lost mail Outlook Express 5

please help me. yesterday there was some mistake and I lost all emails from outlook express 5. can be because of a system recovery point? I did kickback
of system since the system is a bit buggy. I am asking if you can help me! I don't know what to do. all emails are very important. Pleaseee(

Go to the directory where is lie the database of outlook express 5 and look at their size. Perhaps there was a compression of bases and there was a failure.
Note the files with the file extension dbt or bak. If they weigh a lot, it means that the mail has been preserved. Rename the dbt file to dbx. Base lying here
Documents And Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\type {C2CA6003-39F5-43A0-80BA-A61F26C35534}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
But to get there via Windows Explorer you need to enable showing hidden folders. My computer - the top menu Tools - folder options - View Tab - there to
tick Show hidden and system folders. there also to tick (if no) - Show file extensions.
If in this way not be able to recover emails, then you have to use
Address Book Restore Toolbox. By means of this utility you precisely will be able quickly to restore the letters.

Here you can read additional recommendations about restoration of .dbx of files.

Sync e-mail outlook express

After spending a number of fruitless hours I'm concluding there is no such thing as iTouch doing a viable e-mail sync with Outlook Express. I should be able to pick up and send emails for a given e-mail account from my iTouch and my laptop, perform a sync, and then end up with the inboxes for that e-mail account looking the same on both devices -- Right?? But that is not what I'm seeing. I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything is happening but am a too frustrated. Hopefully there is some one who can shed some light. I need to take an asprin now ):
Thank you.

I'm looking for a way to have all the emails I've sent/received via my iTouch, for a particular email account, copied over to my laptop and then have all the activity for that same email which is send/received via my laptop, copied over to my iTouch. That way all the activity for that one email acount will be on both the iTouch and the Laptop. And I can use the laptop e-mail client to archive all the email activity for that account.
Do I need to use another e-mail client on my Windows laptop which is better supported by an iTouch sync? Or perhaps I am forced to by a subscription to MobileMe??

Mac mail & Outlook express COmpatibility?

G'day,
I'm sending family emails with photos attached from my mac to their PC. THey're using outlook express on XP. They get the photos fine but they can't save them. It tells them the file is transparent?
I'm figuring it's a PC problem because we all know there's nothing wrong with Mac. But I was hoping someone knows what's going on here, especially if the fault is actually on my end.
Cheers, John

John,
If you are sending with Rich Text Format, and if because of more than one font being used (such as might result from some Signatures) try testing using only Plain Text. When only one font is used, Mail converts it to Plain Text when sending attachments, but cannot do so if two or more fonts are being used, even if the same font, but different size or color. In the latter case, the RTF gets converted to some poor HTML. You can see the difference when examining any message you send in Raw Source.

How do I put an icon for Outlook Express on the home page????

Having just moved into FF 3.6.1 from IE8, I am use to having an icon for the mail (outlook express) on the home page. I set outlook up in 'Options';'Applications';'mailto' as default, however, how do I set up an icon on the home page that will enable me to read my mail.

GetMail extension adds that feature to Firefox. <br />

OS9 version of Outlook Express to Leopard version of Mail

Hello,
I have to help a friend migrate from an early 2000 iMac running OS9 to a current new iMac running Leopard (still to be purchased).
According to MacTracker her old iMac does have Fire Wire so I imagine I should be able to hook up the two computers somehow (in Target mode?) and move data files across.
But how about her email? She's currently using Outlook Express, which I've never used and am totally unfamiliar with. Is there some way to export her email from OE in a format that can be imported into the current version of Mail that will come with her new Mac?
thanks,
ncm

I tried installing Thunderbird (and also Netscape 7) on her new iMac while the old iMac's hd was on the new one's desktop (courtesy FireWire Target mode), but neither of them exhibited an option to import from OS9x version of Outlook Express - only Eudora and some other obscure format were selectable from the "import from other email programs" section. I also tried exporting from Outlook Express as text deliniated format (or whatever that's called) but nothing of use was subsequently imported into Apple's Mail client..which seems to hang while trying to import. She's now on 10.5.4 on the new iMac.
Any further suggestions will be greatly appreciated. There must be some way of getting her work email from Outlook Express for OS9 and into Mail for OSX 10.5.4.
Does anybody know if there is a trial version of Entourage? Isn't that Microsoft's evolution of Outlook Express? Would that be able to import email from OE to Entourage and then possibly export that to Mail?

Moving email from Outlook Express on Windows XP to Leopard Mail

What are the steps I should take to move my email from a Windows XP computer running Outlook Express to my new iMac running OS X 10.5 and Mail?
I'm assuming I have to move the mailbox files from the Windows machine to the iMac and then run some kind of import.
Where are the mailbox files on the Windows machine and what are they called?
Does Mail support a direct import of those files or do I have to convert them somehow? If I have to convert them, is there an export command in Outlook Express that will do the trick? If not, what do I need to do to convert the files? Is there an application (preferably a free one that can do the trick)?
Finally, anything I should know about that could cause an import of email to choke - bad characters in folder names, too many emails in a folder, subsubfolders, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Since there were no responses, I figured I'd post my own solution. After searching around online, there seem to be several ways to accomplish this. The first I tried was installing Thunderbird on the XP box and importing the Outlook Express email into it. This seemed to have grabbed most of my email. For some reasons a few boxes did not show up in Thunderbird though. Next step was to move the Thunderbird mailboxes over to the Leopard box and run the import process in Mail. This worked for all of my boxes except my Sent mail which choked the import routine (spinning beach ball). So, I went back into Thunderbird and split the 12K emails in the sent box into 6 separate email boxes and moved those over to the Mac. They imported fine. Then I just moved the messages back into the sent box.
That still left the few mystery mail folders that didn't import into Thunderbird. For those, I downloaded a utility that converted dbx to mbox format. Ran it on those boxes, renamed the new file extensions to mbox from mbx and moved those to the Mac and imported them into Leopard.
For some reason one box still didn't come across. But I just forwarded the 8 emails in that box to myself.
It took forever (mainly because the XP machine was so slow and because of the number of emails). But, it did work.

Mac OS 10.4 Mail takes longer to receive than on Outlook Express 5

I receive email via Outlook Express 5.0.6 within an hour (but hate to use it). It can take Mac OS 10.4.8 Mail up to 24 hrs longer. Mail Preferences are set to: Check for new mail:” Every 30 min.” Under Accounts>Advanced: “Enable This Account” and “Include when automatically when checking for new mail” are both checked. The ISP is Comcast. What is the problem?

We have the same problem. The user rights under Leopard are not interpreted correctly while the Tiger clients show the correct entries. I´ve posted another topic to that thing...

Transfer emails from Outlook Express to Mail ?

Hi, I've been using Outlook Express on a PC for years for my emailing and internet etc, now I'd like to transfer the lot to Mail on my G4 (which was used as my workstation). So far I've had no joy in transferring my email archives, is it do-able ?

See if this is any help:
Kappy recommends a cheap (US$10) utility called Outlook2Mac which converts your proprietary Outlook files into mbox interchange format. See the discussion thread for a link to the web site.

From Tiger to Leopard: outlook express "lost"

I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. When I click on Outlook Express Mail, it won't work.
Are all my thousands of old emails lost forever?
Thanks.

Welcome to *Apple Discussions*!
Outlook Express Mail is not a Mac application. Therefore:
a. You were using Outlook Web Access (OWA) through the web, in which case the alias is broken
b. You had an alias to a virtual application running within Windows. You may need to check your application such as Parallales, Microsoft Virtual PC, or VMWare Fusion

Can I import e-mail addresses and groups from Outlook Express?

I have just bought the latest iMac (with Leopard) and I'd like to know how to import my Outlook Express address book (about 1,100 entries) and groups (75 groups with between 5 and 150 members each) into Address Book.

Hello Sijmons,
Thank you for your response.
I already tried it. I used File/Import a mailbox ..., then "Mail" offer me to choose the software I used, and I had the choice to run Mcrosoft Entourage, Outlook Express, ... and others.
Then I went to the place where I have stocked the .dbx files.
But mail seems not to be able to read it.
Do you know how to read .dbx librairies with Mail ?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day

Outlook Express - Leopard Server refusing to deliver to non-local recipient

Morning all,
I have a 10.5.6 Server running IMAP / POP / SMTP services.
All Mac Leopard clients are working as expected, delivery to both local and external addresses works as expected.
However, Outlook Express will connect and retrieve mail (POP) but will only send to local recipients, any other addresses are refused delivery.
e.g.
Delivery to [email protected] works for both Mac and Windows.
Delivery to [email protected] work for Mac but not Windows (Outlook Express)
Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is not authenticating correctly. Make sure the authentication methods for SMTP match what you use on the client.
Failing that, increase the logging level for SMTP to "Information". Next, try to send mail and see what the logs show for that timeframe.

Downloads to Outlook Express mail from Google now (since Mozilla update) incomplete. ¿A Mozilla problem?

For years, download to Outlook Express of mail in three Gmail accounts worked fine.
New problem, not all of the mail at Google gets to Outlook, and what's missing disappears.
This problem appeared after recent Firefox update. Is this a possible cause?
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium

It an Outlook Express thing Firefox has nothing to do with it. But after saying that, if you view your mail with a browser and then open Outlook Express, it will not see it as new mail and leave it on the server.
Also OE is really limited you should use Thunderbird mail
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
or something else.

I need to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs and I either don't have it but when I try to send an e-mail on Outlook Express, it won't go through and gives me an error report.....I really need to be able to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs. Help!

When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.

I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?
