Move emails from apple mail to windows outlook

Hello Everyone,
I have recently bought a windows laptop as majority companions in my office have windows only. I also have mac book pro having apple mail as my e-mail client. I work in a small company in which e-mail is the life blood of our company. So now what I need to do is move all my emails from apple mail to outlook that is present in windows laptop. I haven't found any answers or discussions regarding this topic on this forum site. Can any one please help me get over with this problem or atleast guide me or direct me to the forum where solution for this query is posted.
Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email programs. Then when you logon with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.

Sorry but this didn't work. I have around 4000 mails in some what 45 folders. Using IMAP i can transfer only one file at a time, that will take me days to transfer that amount of files.
Are there any other options available...???

Mailbox transfer from Apple mail to Windows Outlook 2010

There were thousands of emails in Apple mail email client. I sorted out and maild mailboxes for different types of emails. I separated work-related eails and other stuff related emails and made mailboxes for each. Now I want to move the work-related emails
to my windows laptop in Outlook 2010 email client.
I did try to sync the emails via Imap but the synchronization fails every time I try to sync the emails. I have double checked everything many times before synching but it always fails. Now I am sick of doing it as there are 10k plus mails and the sync is always
failing.
Is there any other way to transfer the mailbox from apple mail to outlook 2010. It would be very helpful of anyone can guide me to transfer only the work mailbox folder as syncing via Imap starts downloading all the emails including the others.
I just need to transfer the work folder.
Helpful solutions will be really appreciated.

Hi,
The easiest way to transfer data from Outlook for Mac to a Windows-based Outlook client is to upload to an exchange server. To do this, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2649169/en-us
However, if that option is not available use one of the methods listed in the link below:

How to export apple mail to Windows outlook 2013

Is there any possible solution available to export all my data from apple mail to windows systen in outlook 2013.
There are tons of emails that I have managed to save in the past 12 years (believe me there are a lot of them with multiple attachments) and I do not ant to loose any one of them. I Just want to move them to my windows system in outlook 2013 for which I could not find any particular solution.
On the other hand outlook 2013 is unablr to sync all my emails via Imap. It shows multiple errors which I am not able to figure out. PLease suggest any simpler method which posses minimum hassles. Thanks

Watching this long discussion I couldn't resist myself to share my view on this topic. Once in a while I too had the same problem and I had to transfer a **** lot of emails from Apple Mail client to Windows Outlook. Imap failed and was of no use for some stupid mail crashing reason. I searched for manual work-arounds and posted many queries on various mac forum sites (including this one). I received many responses as solutions for manual process but none of them could transfer my emails from apple mail to outlook.
I knew about the email converters but never wanted to pay a single penny for them but unfortunately I had too. I bought this apple mail to pst converter mentioned by TON456 and after archiving apple mail data and moving it to windows system, it took the application only three clicks to convert the email file format to the desired one that outlook can import (i.e, .PST). I saw no point in buying the tool but its the fault of email client makers for not providing the proper import/export means (seems kind of mean to me, as they need us to stick to their client only). Big companies like apple and microsoft should figure out this situation and provide free solutions.
On the other hand if Imap crashes (as mine did too) then users like us have no options other than email converters. Though they are costly but there is no help to user in pointing out those solution posts.
To the thread starter I would suggest to go with Imap mail configuration but if it still doesn't work then using the apple mail to pst converter is only way left. Thanks.

I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I can not connect though the network.

thank you Diesel vdub this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )

Import email from apple mail not working

I have a simple applescript which imports emails from Apple Mail into filemaker
tell application "Mail"
          set theSelection to selection
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          content of theMessage
          set the clipboard to content of theMessage as text
end tell
This works in the Old Apple Mail in 10.6 but Lion changes everything doesnt it. This is not working in the new Mail 5.1. It will import the first message in the string but not the HIGHLIGHTED message which may be in the message string of 3 or 4. I want it to set theMessage contents of the highlighted message. Does anyone know how to select the highlighted message in a string - sometimes called the selected message. Thanks

Moving email from apple mail to outlook

Is there a way to move saved emails in folder on apple mail to outlook for MAC Thanks Randall.

Hi,
I take it you meant export from apple mail.
If so there is no export option available... Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, have a import option for apple mail but no export.
Cheers

Please Help! Trouble sending email from Apple Mail to PC-users

When sending email in RTF format from Mail to PCs, we have som trouble which I havent found out how to solve:
1) the PC user gets a scrambler email, in which some of the text is like "chinese". Illegible! This seems to happen especialle with PDFs attached.
2) Graphics or pictures we wish to appear directly in the mail is not visible to the receiver, but is only included as attachments.
I know most mail encoding problems can be avoided if we send mail i the "old" simple text format. But we wish to send mails in which our company logo appears in the signature, and sometimes we send graphics and pictures that we wish to be seen directly in the mail (and not as attached files only).
I have set the preferences so that mails as standard are send in RTF format and attachments are send in the "windows friendly" mode.
What really irritates me is that we have more success sending PC friendly mails from Entourage. But for two other reasons we wish to use Mail instead of Enrourage (Entourage has more crash downs/"broken" database issues. And we use Plaxo which does not sync with Entourage)..
Could some of you Please help or direct me to helpfull info?
Sincerely ...Peter and Thomas

Hello Peter.
Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.3.9 but you posted in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions.
1) When you say PC user, more than likely the PC users reporting this problem are using Outlook for their email client since Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and sometimes severe problems depending on the version used by the recipient. Using Plain Text for message composition will resolve this but check this link for an alternative.
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/woutlook.html
2) All Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail (2.x) do not support composing in HTML. RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor.
The Mail.app displays all photo/image and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This is not the same as being embedded which cannot be done with any Mail.app version directly regardless. Depending on the recipient's email client and available settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient (as when receiving such attachments with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
The same in reverse. Photo/image attachments to a Windows Outlook message appear as attached files only when the message is sent but when sent to a Mail.app user, such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened which the Windows Outlook user has no control over.
The company logo included with your Signature is likely appearing as an attached file to the message only but how the logo appears when opened by the recipient depends on the recipient's email client.
The only thing the Windows Friendly Attachment option does is remove the Apple resource fork for attached files which are invisible to fellow Mac users.

AppleScript to auto BCC emails from Apple Mail

I recently moved the email out of Entourage and into Apple Mail for a company I do business for. I created a rule for them which does not run automatically, see my other post <a href="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3300257">here</a>. Having experimented with variations on the rule and searched for answers on the web I have come to the conclusion that I may not be able to get the rule to run automatically. I found various suggestions on the web for using Terminal to automatically BCC sent emails but the downside is that it appears that you then can't send BCC emails to anyone else without using Terminal to disable this, which is not an option.
The best alternative would appear to be an AppleScript but I can't find anything suitable. Can anyone suggest a script that can be added to an Apple Mail rule so that all emails sent from '[email protected]' are automatically forwarded to '[email protected]'

Look, if I were going to do what you're trying to do, I would stop fiddling with rules and set up a launch agent that would periodically (once a day, once an hour, whatever your needs are) forward all unforwarded emails to the people they need to be forwarded to. That requires two components: a launchd plist (which goes in ~/Library/LaunchAgents or /Library/LaunchAgents) and a script file (which can go anywhere, but /Library/Scripts would be conventional). the launchd plist looks soemthing like this (save it as user.mail.forward.plist):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>user.mail.forward</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>osascript</string>
                    <string>/Path/to/scriptfile.scpt</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
          <dict>
                    <key>Hour</key>
                    <integer>18</integer>
                    <key>Minute</key>
                    <integer>0</integer>
          </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
That runs the script once a day at 6:00 pm. the script itself would look something like this:
property lastForwardingDate : (current date)
property bccRecipientAddresses : {"[email protected]", "[email protected]"}
tell application "Mail"
          set unforwardedMessages to messages of mailbox "Sent" of account "gmail" whose date sent > lastForwardingDate
          repeat with thisMessage in unforwardedMessages
                    set messageToForward to redirect thisMessage with opening window
                    tell messageToForward
                              repeat with thisRecipient in bccRecipientAddresses
make new bcc recipient at end of bcc recipients with properties {address:thisRecipient}
                              end repeat
                              set lastForwardingDate to date sent of messageToForward
-- send
                    end tell
          end repeat
end tell
This is a testing version, where the email pops up so you can see what it looks like before it gets sent. in the final version you'll want to delete the 'with opening window' phrase (so that the emails are generated invisibly in the background) and uncomment the 'send' line (so that the emails are sent automatically).
You'll can try replacing 'forward' with 'redirect': redirect sends the email to the new recipient exactly like the old; forward sends a quoted version. not sure which you prefer.
warn people that they should expect to see extra email activity periodically, and that they may see emails appear in their drafts mailbox (which will happen if they are offline when the script runs - they'll get sent later). Also, you should probably set permissions so people can't edit the script file - if it gets saved again it recompiles, which will reset lastForwardingDate to the date it recompiles, and may cause some emails not to get forwarded.
