Mac mail on PC Outlook

I have 2 macs and a PC laptop. Projects on Macs and documents and email on PC.
Does Mac mail have POP3 capability so I can bring it on my PC?
Thanks much

but you keep all messages on the server, and it will exchange some info with your computers to keep track of what is downloaded already and what's new. (otherwise you would be downloading all mails each time, wouldn't you).
So my guess is that this is still interfering in a way with the 2nd client.
Try a reverse situation, first download to the Mac, then the PC. Same problem?

How to transfer emails from Mac Mail to Windows Outlook?

Hi I have a Mac and I want to backup and transfer emails from the Mac Mail to a Windows computer with Outlook 2010. What is the best way to do that?

If you want to convert .pst file to .mbox you can check here:-

Advantages/disadvantages of MAC mail compared to Outlook (for a person with a POP serve, not cloud type email account).

Am a new Mac user after 30 years of PC. Very important to bring over my POPserve emails with attachments. Finally succeeded by using the Microsoft for MAC 30 day trial. Am willing to buy the microsoft software so that my emails/attached doc files and excel spreadsheets all work. Alternately, I could try the "drag to desk top" convert to MBox mail format that I read about as a "back door" way to get your files into Mbox format, and then buy the apple notes and numbers software. Am concerned that the process may cause the emails and their attachments to get messed up. So, I'm willing to continue using Outlook and the Microsoft suite for word & excel if that is the way to assure that all my documents keep their integrity. I know the future is the 'cloud', but I have a big, 3 year project that I hope to complete in the coming year, and until then I have to keep my files organized the way they have been and it's an integrated mess of emails and attached word, PDF, and jpeg documents that only existed on my PC (and is now, thankfully, on my apple air).
I'm interested in advice from people who have experience with both MacMail and Outlook. For the brief period I used MacMail (prior to giving up on importing my 3 year history into MacMail), I didn't see any obvious advantages of MacMail over Outlook. Particularly since I won't be using a cloud type, access your stuff from anywhere feature, since my history is only on the laptop, I'm not sure that I'll be missing that much of the 'apple' experience if I continue to use outlook (as well as word and excel), at least until this big project is done. It will cost me to buy notes and numbers, so maybe I should just live with being a 'microsoft slave' using an apple airbook, at least for the coming year.
Hope the question makes sense. I got very little help from Apple techs about what to do to get my email off my PC and on to my apple macbook air. I was told by the apple tech and the trainer to just return the apple and get a refund rather than struggle with trying to get my files. I persisted with my own search and found the advice about using the 30 day trial of Microsoft for Mac and am glad I did since the emails files and associated documents have been transferred. I'm enjoying my apple and would appreciate advise on whether to just continue with the microsoft for mac approach for the future, or whether I should buy the notes and numbers software and spend more effort getting the email and associated documents into an Mbox format. Thanks.

I'd suggest creating a new test user account from the system preferences. Log in, open Mail, enter your .Mac settings and see how it goes.
Alternatively, you can try to reset Mail.app by renaming (for backup purposes) the following files: (This will affect your other mailboxes as well!)
Preferences: your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
& Mail folder: your_name/Library/Mail/
Assuming a new Mail setup actually works, post back in case you need help on importing your old POP3 messages.
If not, I've no idea what to do... Your firewall should not affect .Mac behavior. (I got to admit, I don't particularly like Mail.app's buggy IMAP implementation.)
Good luck!

Want to set up .mac mail on Windows Outlook

I "thought" I was filling in the blanks properly to set up a new account.
Obviously not. I cannot get mail to SEND.
Can someone please give me dummie step-by-step information on what to put in each of the blanks and do I need to use any advanced settings.
Or any other secret tips.
This is so frustrating for something that should be so simple. Argh!!!

*Microsoft Outlook 2002 / 2003 / 2007*
The following steps are the same whether the account is being configured for IMAP or POP, except where noted.
1. From the Tools menu, choose E-mail Accounts.
2. Choose Add a new e-mail account, then click Next.
3. Choose either POP or IMAP, then click Next.
4. In Your Name, enter what you would like your recipients to see when they open a message from you, such as your full name, company name or even a nickname. Below that, enter your full .Mac email address.
5. To the right, enter mail.mac.com as your Incoming mail server (IMAP or POP).
6. The Outgoing mail server (SMTP) is smtp.mac.com.
7. The User Name field should already be filled with the first part of your email address (before the @ symbol). Enter your password below.
8. Click More Settings.
9. Click to the Outgoing Server tab and enable the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" option. "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" should also be selected.
10. Click the Advanced tab.
11. If you would like to use a secure connection to the .Mac servers, enable both of the options for "This server requires a SSL-secured connection." The Incoming server (IMAP) port number automatically changes from 143 to 993, but you will need to manually change the Outgoing server (SMTP) from 25 to 587. If you are configuring the account as POP, the Incoming server changes from 110 to 995.
12. For POP accounts, you will also see the option to leave a copy of messages on the server. If you decide not to turn this on, your messages will be deleted from the server immediately after being downloaded to your computer.
13. Click OK.
14. Click Next.
15. Click Finish.

How to transfer mails from mac mail to outlook?

Can anyone explain to me how to transfer e-mails from Mac Mail to Microsoft Outlook?

I just went the other way - Outlook to Thunderbird to Mac Mail. I lost some notes in some folders.
My fall back position was to set up an IMAP account and use Google sync to Outlook to move my mail into a Google account. Then on the Mac I set up a IMAP account to download all the mail. Once I had it on the Mac, I copied the IMAP folders into Personal folders on Local Machine. I then deleted the IMAP account and reverted to using my 'usual accounts'.
Hope this helps you a bit!

Exporting from Mac Mail to Outlook 2003 (XP)

Hi guys,
odd one,
just bought the wife a cheap and cheerful wintel laptop, and now in the hope that I can get my mac back for my exclusive use (I've shared for too long now), I'm trying to get her emails from mac mail into a PC format.
I have an IMAP mail server I can use, but it's got a low limit and transferring from the mac mail, back to the imap server, then from the server to outlook on PC works - but is painfully slow.
If anyone is aware of a tool or a process that can turn the mac Mail emails into Outlook XP emails I'd appreciate it. I've taken a look through the forum but everyone (not surprisingly) is doing this the other way around...
Any ideas/assistance appreciated.
Running a 3y.o. iMac 1ghz, 10.4.7 build. Wintel machine is a stock standard Acer running XP, mail program outlook 2003.

Outlook/ Mac Mail conflict

Good Morning!
I have recently installed MS Office on my Mac Book Pro and want to use Outlook as the default mail provider.
All seems fine for outgoing mail, it sends fine but incoming mail arrives in Mac Mail not Outlook, despite ticking the default mail setting button in Outlook Preferences....it seems that Mac Mail is overriding outlook!
Sure I'm doing something silly....what do you think ??
Thanks in advance.

Opening mail in Microsoft outlook

Hi,
I've noticed this question or ones similar to this have gone unanswered but I am going to try. Is there a way to open .mac mail in Microsoft Outlook in XP. I have a mac at home and I can use the mail app to look at my emails. At work I have to use a windows machine and I hate having to go on to the .mac website and login...etc..
I have tried to set it up myself but I just do not know what server address to put into the setup.
Even if this is impossible, could someone tell me so I don't keep trying forever.
Thanks
Jason

I haven't accessed by .Mac account with Outlook but I do access my .Mac account with Outlook Express on my Windows PC at work.
If you have not changed your .Mac account from a .Mac type account to a POP type account with the Mail.app on your Mac, you need to create the account as an IMAP type account in Outlook or Outlook Express. I also use Outlook for my business email account at work but I prefer using Outlook Express for my personal email account to keep things separate.
Select IMAP as the account type.
Incoming Mail Server: mail.mac.com
Outgoing or SMTP Server: smtp.mac.com
Account Name for the Incoming Mail Server: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your .Mac account password.
For the Outgoing Mail Server, select "My server requires authentication" and also select "Use the same settings as my incoming mail server".
Depending on your company restrictions, the only thing you may have trouble with is using the .Mac Outgoing or SMTP server at work.

How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips?

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

I am trying to import outlook .olm file to Mac Mail, it is not working

I am trying to switch my mail to Mac Mail I have 8 GB of data from Mac Outlook. It saves as .olm file I am trying to make this work???

Use the clients and temporary folders (mailboxes) on the mail server as a form of a conversion utility.
Launch whatever mail client can read whatever client-specific archive format containing the source mail messages, access the archives from that mail client, select and then move the messages from the archive to temporary folder(s) you've created on your mail server.
These "temporary" folders are used to avoid getting your archived mail mixed in with your current mail; you probably don't want to dump a hundred old messages into your current inbox, for instance.
Launch the target mail client, select the tempoary folder on the mail server, select-all the messages in the folder, and transfer (drag) the messages back from the server.
Using select ranges or seelct-all to select ranges of messages, you can transfer buckets of mail messages in bulk with a drag operation between folders.
Your transfers will be limited by the storage quota on your mail server, so use whichever mail server you have with the largest quotas as your "conversion" mail server.

Conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail???

Denmark, Kolding, 30th of September 2010
A conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail?
For several months tried to discuss and resolve with several Apple specialists/support, but without much luck.
Therefore I have discussed these issues with 2 different and independent Mac users to find out in testing other Mac users will have the same problems as outlined in the below mentioned situations.
I will therefore outline the coverage issues, as mentioned, including occurs on my iMac 21.5 " with serial number: <Edited by Host> and 2 friends with their Macbooks of new dates as follows:
1. Sending from my Mac plain mail as "plain text "(during formatting):
Plain text mail as "Plain Text "(during formatting) Verdana font size 10, sent and received on Windows PC with the correct letter size - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
2. Sending from my Mac plain mail "formatted text" (during formatting):
Eg. with my signature/signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text dispatched - the mail received as text with New Times Roman size 12 and signing /signature color Verdana now in size 13.5!!!!
3. Sending plain mail "as normal text "(during formatting)
In the mail text underlined and made bold - the program asks whether to convert to RTF format (to keep underlining, bold, etc.) and Verdana as font and size 10, YES - this mail is received on the Windows PC as text with New Times Roman with the desired underlining and bold text and size 12!!!!
4. Plain text mail as "formatted Text"
Eg. with signature / signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text sent - received as text with New Times Roman and signing / signature as colored Verdana now in size 13.5!!!
5. Sending mail with file attached:
After producing a normal text document modified to PDF and directly from the Adobe Reader sent this PDF file in e-mail formatted as normal text with font Verdana 10 point, with signature. This is received on the Windows PC with a PDF file OK, but the font of the mail text is changed to Century Gothic and missing signature. Signature is available as an attachment on the Windows Outlook e-mail program as a ATT00113.text file. This can be opened and there is the missing signature!
6. Sending e-mail with photos directly from iPhoto
iPhoto opens and click on the desired photos eg. 5 pcs. (Exactly as mentioned in the demo video!) and click on the e-mail icon at iPhoto and the program opens and e-mail that is opened with the attached photos and rich text is being used in the mail. Signature disappears and must be clicked on the mail by the sender.
The mail is received with the attached pictures OK - text changed to Times Roman with the desired bold - though no signature and 5 pcs. Att0028.html files attached. These can be opened and contains the file number each picture!
The above problems can be partly avoided by the following:
1. Only send mails as plain text
Without any underlining, attachments, etc.. When the Windows PC Outlook receiver opens the mail where only the text fond is changed!!
2. Sending mail with attached file
Start opening the mail program and use formatted plain text first and then attach (with the staple) file, and the Window receiver will get the file, but text and signature changed to Times New Roman size 13!!
3. Sending mail with photos from iPhoto
Start by opening mail program text in Verdana 10 and click the Photo Browser and find (look for - takes its time!) the pictures you want to send and pull/drag them into the mail and send, - images, text and signature are in the mail on Windows PC - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
If sent as formatted text with various underlining, italics, etc. together with the photos will be received OK - but the writing is now New Times Roman size 12 signatures Verdana now in size 13!!!
I must say – I am disappointed with the Mac mail program – it actually means that sending a perfect mail with underlining, colours, a.s.o. also photos directly from iPhoto – will received at a Windows computer in a totally mess.
Looking forward to some good news from either Mac supporter or some clever Mac users who can help me to adjust my Mac to avoid these problems IF POSSIBLE!!!!.
Apple/Mac is too good a product to make these problems!!
Best regards
Peter Larsen

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The PC sets the font on its side, the Mac does on its side for plain text. There is no "font size" in plain text coding. Rich Text gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. HTML gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. Use the asterisk, parenthesis, underscore, or any keyboard symbol that is part of the original ASCII. Otherwise, the chance is nobody else will be able to read it who does not have your e-mail client in the same version.
Sadly there are no e-mail standards except MIME for attachment, and even that isn't universally supported. E-mail is not the ideal medium for anything except plain text that is ASCII. To learn more about ASCII, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
If you want to post a website that is universally understood, see the hints here:

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.
