Mbox email files export

I am having some problems with my mac system, bought a new windows pc for the time being and for a change.
Every thing works very fine with this new system but there is a situation that I can't get over with.
I want to export the emails from apple mail that I used in mac laptop to outlook 2010. I have years of important emails that I cannot loose at any cost and want them in my windows pc. I found out that I am trying to export .mbox email files to outlook that supports .pst file extension.
So how can I export these .mbox emails to outlook 2010 or there is any way to convert these .mbox emails to .pst?

Here are two ways to export .mbox files from Mail:
Select multiple messages. Choose File > Save As…. In the Format: pop-up, select "Raw Message Source". The file you save will be in .mbox format.
Select any mailbox or multiple mailboxes (including Smart Mailboxes). Choose Mailbox > Export Mailbox…. What gets saved is a folder. Its name has an .mbox extension, but it is a folder with a custom icon, not a plain file. Inside the folder is a file named "mbox". That file is in .mbox format. (The entire folder can be re-imported into Mail, but the mbox file by itself can be imported into any e-mail program that can read mbox files.)

Where does Mail store its email files

hi there, I'm having a bit of an email crisis.
background: I have a MacBook Pro circa 2012 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with over 28 or 29GB of free space.
For email, I have a primary address through Cox Cable and some secondary Cox Cable email accounts for junk mail and the like. Recently, there was some recurring difficulty retrieving the Cox emails. The Mail program would open up and look for the Cox Cable email accounts and variously fail to connect with any of them. The Mail program would tell me that it was unable to access the account and suggest I enter my password.
I decided to delete the accounts and set them up again to see if doing so would grab the most current SMTP settings, etc.. Doing so, I may have accidentally deleted from local storage (on my computer) my old archive of sent and received mail (going back to 2006). More on that later.
When establishing the settings in Mail for the cox accounts, I left the feature on where Mail would leave the the emails on my Cox email server (which only uses 7% of its space currently). This seemed to correct the retrieval errors I was getting before. Something else strange happened. Sometimes when I would send mail, it would send, I'd hear the whooshing sound, but it would not store a copy of it in my sent email folder. In most cases, the recipients confirmed receipt. This would only happen with some sent mail. Others would be deposited into the Sent mail folder in Mail as usual.
Questions:
(1) Where does OS X store the Mail email files? I can't find any folder with an xbox file or any other file.
(2) How can I find out if my missing email archive doesn't exist somewhere else on my laptop right now and my Mail program can't find it.
(2) If I well and truly deleted the archive not only from my Mail program but also from my laptop, am I able to import my email archive from my external hard drive where it was backed up? I'd like to leave the archive in an archive folder in Mail so that I can see it and search it when necessary without having to plug in my external drive and also so there are two copies of this email archive.
Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

hi. update. I found the hidden Library folder where the mbox email files are located as follows:
click on your finder to open it
click the GO command from the drop down menu and before clicking again press and hold down the option key. that reveals in the Go drop-down menu the hidden Library folder. Click on that Library folder to open it.
from there, look for a sub folder called Mail
click on that and see a sub folder called V2.
click on that and you'll find subfolders for the email accounts you've established, inside which are the .mbox files that represent those email databases.
however, once inside there, I found no .mbox files for the old archived files and so I think that I goofed and well and truly deleted the old POP emails when switching from POP to IMAP about two weeks back.
the good news is that I was backing up somewhat regularly via Time Machine to an external drive. So I recovered the old POP emails into an separate INBOX and SENT MAIL archive that now sits again on my Mac in my Mail program, somewhere below the active mail folders I use daily.
The POP email protocol was lately prone to these 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages and that's what prompted me to try to change my settings. When I did, I must have found that Cox email now supports IMAP for residential customers and made the switch from POP to IMAP, inadvertently deleting the old POP email.
The IMAP protocol resolved the 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages that Mail used to give me under the POP protocol. But left the problem of certain sent mails not being stored immediately in my local sent mail folder on my Mac.
unresolved questions are:
i generally liked switching from POP to IMAP because my email on my phone and laptop are more apt to be in sync and coordinated, and it resolved the connection/password problems I had with POP. I'd like to keep on IMAP. I have experienced the occasional missing sent mail. So far as I can tell, when sending the email from my laptop, I hear the swoosh of sent mail and the recipients do receive it but a copy if not always delivered into my local sent mail folder. a copy of it is stored on the Cox email server, however.
any workaround that issue? It leaves me wondering sometimes whether the mail was sent or received and I also need a record of all email sent on my laptop for future reference.
is it possible this missing sent mail only happens when there are attachments? it doesn't happen every time. I've noticed it has happened when I've sent emails with attachments.
any help you can give is appreciated!

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

'Email' address not shown in mail form (file export)

Hi Gurus,
I am working with Campaigns in SAP CRM EHP3.
The problem appears when I execute Campaign through communication method "File Export" , because of 'Email' address doesn't appears in the file (although Business partners have them informed).
The steps I followed :
Create the Campaign with communication method "File Export"
Create a new structure in the attributes contexts to add: BAPIBUS1006_ADSMTP to dispose the field "Email" from BP
Now, from therole IC_MANAGER , I created a mailform incluiding new field 'email'
Execute campaign with a segment (all the BP in target group have Email address informed)
Theoutput filedoesn’t showemails addresses..
Thank you in advanced!
Regards

How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?

My question it:
How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?
I have designed a "website" in adobe muse and exported it as an html file. I am not sure how to send my .html file in an email!
Best,
Nicole

Unfortunately, the answer is, you don't. The requirements for HTML displayed in an e-mail reader are very different than those for HTML displayed in a browser. The output of Muse won't work as an HTML e-mail. You could upload the Muse site as a website and provide a link to it in an e-mail, but the HTML generated by Muse is not suitable for direct display by an e-mail program.

I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic. How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen. How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

Where are you getting this screen? In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
Click to view full size
With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs. For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.

Hi Sevtap,
for any fields that you not provided from standard you can easily create your own attribute context and use BAdi CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI to fill the fields during campaign execution when generating the export file.

Old email file

I have an old RTF file with a continuous list of hundreds of email messages, exported from my old Performa probably 15 years ago. I'd like to get them back into Mail or Outlook or something so they can be searched by date/sender etc. Below is a sample of what it looks like- the old MIME formatted headers. Since they're not individual message files or in some sort of mbox container I haven't found an import/conversion solution. Any help would be great... (I blanked out the details below)

How can I import old email files from Simeon into Apple Mail?

I used to use Esys Simeon for PC for mail at work. I recently found my Simeon email files, which I thought I'd lost. If possible, I'd love to import them to Mail, to have as part of my general email archive.
The files come as a set of nested folders. The lowest level of folders each contain a set of separate numbered files each of which contains one email in plain text (complete with all headers). The folders also contain a number of other '.dat' files with info about the folder contents.
I'm on Mail 4.5
Any ideas?
Mike

No. But…

How do you know it's plain text? File name extension ".txt"?
Message Handler?) type file system to mbox
Not likely. MH would be text, .dat suggests binary. "Mh" in "mh_cache.dat" may stand for "message handler", but it's not MH.
Try Emailchemy (test it, don't buy it until you know it works). You might have to change file name extensions from .txt to .eml. Or try to find some documentation of Simeon's file formats and directory structure. I doubt it will be easy to find a converter. Given your description, I'd probably use AppleScript.

Can't visualise text on PDF files exported from PS

PDF files exported from PS (levels included as we need them to be selectable) have corrupted text. When opening the saved pdf file, a part of text doesn't appear. It is usually starting from the second chapter of text. Any idea of how to solve this problem?

Hi Marco,
For now we have only fixed this in CC, but we are aware this problem also affects CS6 users and is a significant problem for many people. At this time, I don't know of any workaround in CS6 for this bug other than to break text up into smaller blocks or use another more text-oriented application like InDesign. While I can't comment on future releases, your feedback on this issue is important to us, and I can say, "there's always hope"...
If you'd like to discuss this further, or send us a file that exhibits the problem, please contact me directly. My email address is my last name @ adobe.com.

Iphoto won't email or export

I choose my pictures click email, choose my options, it says "preparing photos for email", then nothing. No email opens with the attached pics.
So I try to export the pictures and manually add them to an email. I chose file, export, choose jpeg format in the options, and click export. I get the message "unable to create users\myname\desktop".
I've wasted about 1 hour of my workday over a stupid little problem like this. If somebody could help me before I smash my macbook and go back to PC I'd appreciate it.

Did this start shortly after you upgraded to Leopard? Did you use the Archive and Install method of upgrade? That hit me. It was an ACL issue. A guru with Unit and terminal commands gave the the commands to run in terminal and that fixed it.
However, there's a freeware application,ACL Fix, that will do the job. Just drag your User folder onto the application and follow the instructions.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I transfer email files when upgrading from OS9 to OS X(10.2.8)?

I upgraded to OS X(10.2.8) and was able to locate and open all the "old" files except the email files (so I reversed the upgrade).
Using Outlook Express in OS 9. Is there a way to find the email files from the OS 10 configuration or somehow export or transfer the email files prior to making the upgrade from 9 to 10?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
eMac Mac OS 9.2.x Upgrading to OS X (10.2.8)
eMac Mac OS 9.2.x Upgrading to OS X (10.2.8)

Apple Mail will import mail from MS Outlook Express. The current version has the import function under File>Import Mailboxes. I think that the version which shipped with 10.2.8 did, too.
MSOE keeps its mail in the Microsoft User Data folder, typically either in the Documents folder or at the root level of your hard drive. If you tell Mail to search for mail form MSOE, it will try to find it in a Microsoft User Data folder. If you've moved your mail, tell Mail where you moved it to.

How do I localize corrupt email file

There is a corrupt email file in one of my mailboxes. I just don't know which one it is.
I was able to isolate the mailbox in which the corrupted file is. When I put the mailbox's folder back in the mail folder (in preferences), start mail.app again, then rebuild the mailbox, it starts spinning and the whole mail.app seems to stall forever and forever until I have to FORCE QUIT. Before doing the rebuilding of that mailbox the app works fine.
I've initially tried to reimport the whole mail folder into a newly initialized mail.app. That's how I know in which mailbox the corrupt file is as it started to import the different mailboxes and stopped at just that one. I even had the number of the file but to my surprise the numbers of the files in the "preferences/mail/" folder are totally different.
I have more than 5000 files in that mailbox, how can I know which one's bugging?
thanks for the help.

Mark,
If you open the Mail folder, and then go to the Mailboxes folder within (where mailboxes you create are stored, and assuming it is not in a mailbox in an Account folder), and open that xxxx.mbox to find the Messages folder, do you not see the 6583.emlx file?
It is possible this file name is the one Mail is assigning during the import, and not the existing one, however, but I can't tell sitting here. In the original, what is the range of numbers on those yyyyy.emlx files?
One way, would be to open the subject xxxx.mbox, then open the Messages folder, and then double click on each yyyyy.emlx file, to see if it will open in Mail. Mail can open individual yyyyy.emlx files in this fashion, but perhaps would choke on the one corrupt.

File Export Variant in CRM Marketing

Hi Group,
Does anybody have idea on File Export Variant? I have basic concept, this is used to export business partner information to external file in campaign execution.I created personalized form and tried to run a campaign, I am getting only description of a field, I am not getting actual values.To give more details here is the example.I have configured personalized mail form in such a way, if target group has organization and contact person, output of file export varaint contains Org first name, last name, contact number and contact person first name, last name and contact number.As I said when I execute campaign, I am not getting any values in flat file, just displaying description of a fields like org first name, org last name etc.Which tables I need to use to populate values in flat file.
If anybody had documents, please forward to [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Ajay

Ajay,
Read OSS Notes 672599 and 535536. That should provide you with the documentation necessary
Good luck,

Campaign and emailform :file export

Hi,
Working on CRM 7.1.Im creating emailform with usage type as 'file export',now only attributes are available.I need to include text elements,images,subject of the emailform.Can I achieve this by implementing Badi: Maintain Additional Attributes for Mail Form Attribute Contexts.
In campigns, using the communication medium as 'file export' where does the file gets stored in the system.Please suggest me.
Regards,
Brahmaji

Dear Brahmaji,
Can you explain how you are looking to use your email forms? i.e. Are they being used as part of email campaigns - if so, what's the reason for using the 'file export' format? As mentioned, this usage type is typically not used if you need more functionalities (graphics, text, etc.)
I'm asking because I'm wondering if you are looking to 'transport' the mail forms to another system... we have such new functionality in CRM 7.0 EhP1...
Let me know. I'm curious to understand the process you are looking to support - Thanks!
