Lost outlook express mail boxes and failed transfe...

I have just joined BT from orange (I had a wanadoo email address). I've lost the previous contents of OE mail boxes. Any ideas how I might recover. Also followed the instructions for transferring contacts and got message 'cannot read file' or words to that effect. Help please?

1. If you are lucky your old OE files may still be in the recycle bin on your C: drive so look there first.
I suspect you used the BT disk or similar to setup access to BT and it may have screwed up your existing settings.
If they are there I can tell you how to restore them.
If they are not there look at
c:\documents and settings \{your username on PC}\local settings\Application Data\Identities\{ an identifier}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
where the bits in {} are unique to your machine.
You should find a file for each of your email folders.
Let us know how big the Inbox.dbx file is and any other Inbox.xxx file.
2. Waste of time.
3. I strongly recommend that you use Outlook Express to get your emails from BTYahoo. If you want help here let me know. Note that you can still use OE to get emails from your old provider.

Using Outlook express mail and system 10.9, sending attachments

I have a new Mac, operating system 10.9. Trying to use Outlook Express Mail from work, I am unable to send attachments. Thanks

One thing in there jumps out - the long time taken to connect to the internet after NetProtect was installed. McAfee is a notorious resource hog and that behaviour is typical of the symptoms which persuaded me and others to look for another AV. Microsoft Security Essentials has a light touch and many would recommend it, though there are several other effective, free AVs available. If you do uninstall NetProtect you should make sure to run the McAfee Removal Tool also.
I would advise you to get NetProtect out of the way and return with an update for advice on the email issues.

Smart Mail Boxes and how they work?

I am having some difficulty with Smart Mail Boxes, either that or I am not understanding them correctly
So I created a Smart Mail Box so that all the mail which included a particular recipient would go into it, which it does. But I also have the mail in my in-box as well
What I was hoping is that all that particular mail would just go into the smart mail box and not be in the in-box.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Philip

No, you are not doing anything wrong. The original e-mail stays in your inbox until deleted, which will also delete it from the Smart Folder. The Smart Mailbox is a 'sorting' tool,but it doesn't actual contain the e-mails.

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Viewing mail box and number of unread mails for each user

i need to know if there is a ready made portlet to get the number of unread messages from my mail box, and if there is no such portlet , what is the best way to do it and where to start
thank you for your time...

There is a set of portlets for Microsoft Exchange that will be published via the PDK shortly. The set contains a portlet for email, contacts, and schedules.

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

And Modification Date, is within, the last 5 minutes or whatever.

I lost my Logic Pro box and disc, I can't find my serial number. What should I do?

I lost my Logic Pro box and disc, after it upgraded to 9.1.4, it asked me about serial number, but I lost it...
I can't find my serial number. What should I do? (I baught it last year.)

Hey Rickstertw,
I think there are two ways to do this. Open Logic Pro, then in the menu tab, click on Logic Pro in the upper left hand corner, then choose About Logic Pro. Another window will come up, and you should be able to see the serial number just below your name under "Licensed to" - that is, presuming this is a licensed to you copy! :-)
If for some reason it doesn't come up there and you registered the product with Apple, then call the support number and if you can verify your information with them, they should be able to give it to you.
Regards
Joyce

Tiger to Leopard Mail Boxes and Rules?????

Can I drag my mail boxes and rules from a tiger system (10.4.11) to a leopard system (10.5.2)?
Thank you

I intended to drag from/to ~user<me>/Library/mail.
As I do sometimes, I posted the question then went and experimented. Wondering now if I can reverse what I did. I imported the mailboxes from the tiger machine, then modified the rules to point to the Import/mail box name.
Thinking it would be preferable to not have the Import mail box folder. So maybe I can drag the Imported folder to the trash and as you and the next guy suggested, just drag my tiger Mail folder and .plist file to leopard????

Express Mail Open and Distribute / Priority Mail Open and Distribute

I just received this email today, but it looks like it was originally sent out in September 2010. Will presort allow me to automatically produce these "electronic" files we have to use to upload for Express and Priority (multiple SCF) jobs? Here is all the information I have come across so far...
The following three Federal Register notices have been posted on the Postal Explorer® website at pe.usps.com.
Express Mail Open and Distribute and Priority Mail Open and Distribute u2014 This final rule adopts revised standards for labeling Express Mail® Open and Distribute containers, revises the Express Mail Open and Distribute service commitment to receipt by end of day (11:59 p.m.), and adds a 5-pound minimum weight requirement for Express Mail Open and Distribute and Priority Mail® Open and Distribute sacks (with a few specified exceptions). The effective date is January 2, 2011.

Nevermind, I found my answer. This is something Endicia.com is already doing for us. EMOD is something new that will happen in Jan 2011.

Lost Mail Boxes and Smart Boxes

Hi can anyone give me some advice please as I have had to reinstall and have lost all of my smart boxes and some mail boxes which had valuable information.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

Outlook Express mail to Mac Mail

I hope this is the right forum for this post, I don't see one that looks more appropriate .....
I have a brand new iMac. I have an older XP PC with a lot of email in Outlook Express (not Outlook). I want to move it.
I've googled how to migrate the mail, there are lots of responses about using 3rd party utilities, etc.
My question is, is there an Apple "endorsed" method? What's the best method? I'm not keen on installing random applications from other countries to convert all of my mail, etc.
Any tips/advice would be appreciated!

If you are accessing your Comcast POP account with Outlook Express on your Windows PC, create your .Mac account as an IMAP account with OE.
Create a .Mac server stored mailbox for Comcast received messages and another for Comcast sent messages.
Copy the messages from the Comast Inbox and Sent mailbox to the designated server stored .Mac mailboxes.
After doing so, when launching the Mail.app on your Mac, these server stored mailboxes created with OE on your Windows PC and the transferred messages will be available.
Create two "On My Mac" location mailboxes - one for the transferred Inbox messages and one for the transferred sent messages. Transfer the messages from the server stored mailboxes to these "On My Mac" location mailboxes. This process will store the messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.

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

or something else.
