Messages won't import from Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2011

My hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro that was running Entourage 2008 for Mac. I have a back up of the Microsoft User Data file, and I want to upload it to Outlook 2011 for Mac. When I import the data, it pulls my calendar and complete folder structure into outlook perfectly. However, there are no messages/emails in any of the folders. I've tried it a couple times and same thing always happens. Transfers everything but the messages. The database is 19GBs, so I know the messages are on there.

To exporting Entourage data into Outlook 2011, select "Items to an Entourage archive" option and that gets export everything; mail, folders I've created, contacts, and calendar.

  • Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2011

    I have a user that was recently moved from Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2011. There seem to be two things that are not working properly:
    1) The exported/imported contacts do not work in Outlook. The user gets a 5.5.4 invalid email address error.
    2) I can't figure out how to export the "boxes" from Entourage and import them into Outlook.
    Any help is appreciated.

    As those are not Apple productsI think you'd do better to ask Microsoft through their forums:
    Office for Mac forums
    MS employees often respond in those forums so you get the expertise of their Mac Business Group gurus.
    I think I'm one of a handful of people around here that uses Entourage. I have avoided Office 2011 but I know that, when exporting to newer computers, I select "Items to an Entourage achive" and that gets everything; mail, folders I've created, contacts, and calendar. Here are the settings in the first Export screen from Entourage 2008:

  • Import from Entourage 2008 to Calendar not working

    Hi all, so after 11+ years of using Entourage I'm finally biting the bullet and trying to migrating to Calendar/Mail/etc ...
    Anyway I'm struggling to get Calendar to play nicely. When I use "Import from Entourage..." Entourage 2008 opens as expected and Calendar shows the "Importing Entourage data..." progress bar for a few seconds but nothing appears to be imported. What am I doing wrong?
    Cheers for any help

  • Importing mail information from Entourage 2008

    I’m running OSX 10.7.3. I’ve been using Microsoft Entourage 2008 for my mail client but have recently encountered a problem - upon opening Entourage I get an error message that says, “Microsoft Sync Services has encountered a problem and needs to close…”  Regardless of what block I click on the error message will not go away and comes back within 10 seconds or so.  I want to start using Mail, but I want to import the mailboxes I have in Entourage.  In Mail, when I go to import from Entourage it does not work – it says it cannot find the mailboxes in Entourage.  Is there another way I can do this import?  I don’t know where the mailbox files for Entourage or Mail are located. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

    Use Emailchemy, what you want is not easy to do without a real converter. It is not free.

  • Mail won't import all Entourage mail-- any ideas?

    Hello all,
    I started to import my mail from Entourage. Everything went in pretty much fine, except for the SENT folder. It would import, and then when I looked, it was all Sent mail but only up to Oct 18,2008. I then deleted that "Import/Sent" mailbox in Mail.app, then tried to Import again, just checking the "Sent Mail" box when it asks you "which items do you want to import from Entourage", etc...
    But still, it would import a huge sent-mail folder, but lacking emails from Oct 18-Dec 10 2008.
    Any thoughts on why? Any suggestions on how to just get those SPECIFIC emails from Entourage and put them directly into Mail.app? Is there any way to get those specific ICS files from Entourage and convert them into Mail?
    Thanks- Samantha

  • Can't import from Entourage into Mail

    I'm trying to import my Entourage 2008 email into Apple Mail 6.0.  Everytime I try I get an error message, "Error - Unable to connect to Microsoft Entourage.  Try opening Microsoft Entourage first, then run the import".  I tried that and it didn't work either.  I exported my Entourage data as a .rge but then when I try to import it, there is a nested duplication of all the folders from Entourage. And I've got too many emails/folders to drag them.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    This is too late for Norm, but incase anyone else is having this problem, it may be due to having Office 2011 installed (ignore if this is not your case).
    I would find the same error on trying to import from Entourage, and after digging around a bit, tracked the problem to having Office 2011 installed. Once I completely removed Office 2011, the import worked fine.

  • Mail 2 crashes while importing from Entourage X

    Hello all:
    I am trying to move over from Entourage X to Mail/Address Book/iCal under Tiger. However, when I try to run the import from Entourage feature in Mail, I am unable to import my mail files from Entourage.
    Specifically, the problem I'm having is that Mail crashes mid-way through the import process. When I restart Mail, it attempts to re-start the import process but crashes again. If I hit "Cancel" I can see part of my folder structure under the "Import" folder, but no mail messages in it.
    One possibility is that my Mail database in Entourage is very large, with thousands of mail messages and a fairly complicated folder structure. Based on the progress bar, I estimate a total import would take about an hour or so. The crash appears to happen 10-15 minutes into the import process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I might be able to get around this? I would very much like to switch over to Mail - I assume that it is a better application than Entourage.
    Thanks,
    Sohil

    Let’s fix the second problem first. Step 4 in the procedure below will cause Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again. Hence, before proceeding, you my want to delete from the server any messages you don’t want to be downloaded again.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • IMovie HD won't import from Sony HDR-HC1

    iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111) on my G5 desktop controls, but won't import from, my new little Sony HDR-HC1 1080i DV camcorder. Same was the case with my 12" 1 GHz PowerBook until, at the advice of a Manhattan Beach Genius Bar tech, I did an archive reinstall of 10.4 and a reinstall of iMovie HD on both my G5 PowerMac and G4 PowerBook and then downloaded all the updates. Now my PowerBook works, but my PowerMac still won't import. On an empty second HD in my PowerMac I installed OS 10.4 and iMovie HD ONLY (to create as sterile as possible of an environment), made the 2nd HD my startup drive, and still iMovie HD on my PowerMac will not import from this camera (although it will from an older Sony VX-1000 regular def camcorder).
    Does anybody have any solutions, or any idea why iMovie HD now imports on my PowerBook but after the same makeover still won't on my PowerMac?
    Per earlier posts, I tried playing some piano notes in Garage Band, trashing the iMovie preference files, and reinstalling QuickTime (the tech had heard QT 7.0.3 could be at fault from becoming corrupted in certain updating combinations), all to no avail.
    HELP!

    I have had import/capture problems using FW drives with FCE/iMovie5 and my 2gig iMac. My canon GL2 works fine but only when no other FW devices are connected to the FW port I use the computers internal drive to capture. If your using the G5's internal SATA drives this (below) may not apply.

    Some G5 users have had to purchase a FW PCI card or have the G5 front FW port replaced. Check this link.

  • Import from Entourage: Can't see any mails

    I did the simple import from Entourage into Mail. I took a long time, and I could see the titles of all of the emails as they were imported (thousands), and it created folders and subfolders just as I had them in Entourage. But after the import, all of the folders appear empty!

    AirPrint is a feature built into the iOS. If the app that you are working in or using has the boxed curved arrow icon at the top - should allow you to print. However, in order to use AirPrint, you must have one of the AirPrint compatible printers.
    The printers with this feature are listed on this web site.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
    If you do not own one of these printers, there are a number of third party apps that will allow you to print using your current printer. You may need to download a helper app on your computer and leave your computer turned on in order to use them.

  • Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

    Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

    I had the same problem.  It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up.  The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again.  I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated.  The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
    Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application  the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore.  I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application.  Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
    Hope this helps.

  • Trouble importing from entourage

    I imported from Entourage into iCal, and my times down the side of iCal are incorrect. The events are the correct time (and in the correct time zone,) but it doesn't line up with the times down the left. Help, please???

    You may be able to fix the files by putting their Type and Creator codes back where they're supposed to be. Place the "Office 200x Identities" folder of your backed up Entourage data in its normal location in your user account.
    Download this nice little (and free!) Type and Creator code utility. Quick Change.
    Type and Creator codes have two fixed rules. They must be four characters long. They are case sensitive. Launch Quick Change. First drag and drop the "Newsgroup Cache" file onto its interface. It will likely show nothing for the codes. For this file, they are:
    Type: Ncch
    Creator: OPIM
    Click the save button.
    Open the "Main Identity" folder. For all four files, the Creator is OPIM. The Type code for each is as follows:
    Database: OEDB
    Mailing Lists: List
    Rules: RULE
    Signatures: Sigs
    After fixing each file's codes, see if Entourage now recognizes them.

  • Importing from Entourage to Mail Question

    Hi,
    I'd like to import from entourage to mail, however I'd like to select a cutoff date of the emails coming in. In other words, instead of 10 years of email, I just want to take the past two or three.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how easily to achieve this end result?
    Thanks

    I haven't got a direct answer for you but I had similar experiences which may help you. I found the Mail import to be pretty ineffective and unable to cope with large mailboxes.
    I started with Entourage and actually moved to Thunderbird when earlier versions of Mail were not really very good. TBird imported Entourage emails fine - about three years of emails.
    With SL and Mail 4, I was looking for a way to import all my TBird emails - now 7 years with as the import into Mail was still flawed and also it had a bad habit of recovering EVERY email ever received, including all the spam. So I found "Eudora mailbox importer" which perfectly moved all my TBird mail straight into Mail with no fuss.
    So if you get stuck, its Entourage to TBird to Mail !

  • How do you change your ical import from entourage settings

    Hello all,
    I am new to ical and am trying to import someone else's entourage agenda.  I believe I may have pointed to the incorrect file, and am now unable to find a way to redirect the import.  When I select import from entourage, it automatically executes my original setting.
    Can you please let me know how to redirect the import, and it would also be helpful if you could tell me exactly what file I need to point to on my coworkers machine for the import.
    Thanks for the assistance.

    Hi Troy,
    The best thing to do at this point is to contact iTunes Support:
    https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
    Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.
    Once you get back into the old Apple ID, change the password to match the password on the new Apple ID. Also, probably a good idea to set up the 2-step Password Security - easier to recover a forgotten password that way.
    I think you should be able to just update the password even though the Apple ID and email address are no longer valid. Since your son will only be using it to update apps, that should be OK.
    Post back if you have any questions or run into any other issues! Good luck!
    Cheers,

  • Messages won't delete from inbox

    Just upgraded to iOS7 on both iphone 4s and ipad2. In mail, on both devices (which are linked) deleted messages won't erase from the inbox - even though they have been permanently deleted from the mail editor on my computer. When I swipe left and hit trash, the message goes away for one second then reappears. I've tried re-booting the phone, didn't work. I definitely have the right passwords associated with the mail account in place. And haven't made any other changes to the mail settings since upgrading the operating system. I noticed that no one else has posted this problem using iOS7 yet, but have seen some threads using earlier formats - none of which were helpful in fixing my problem   thoughts? suggestions?

    I have thousands of important mails stored in several folders in entourage 2008.
