Need help exporting address book and emails

Hi everyone; I have a problem that should be easy to answer, yet I've been in contact with several IT people and 90 minutes later still have no answer. As the forum heading suggests, I am using Novell's Groupwise Webaccess. I was given an email address through my University employer, and this is the email system that they use. I have ended my contract with the university and have been given 60 days more usage of Groupwise, but I would like to keep at least some of the information in my emails.
Questions:
1) can I export my address book to... anything, really, just so I can keep my contacts?
2) is there any way I can download my emails?
This extra info may or may not be helpful:
I only have access to the web version of Groupwise
I am using a mac
I have other email accounts, including gmail, hotmail, and outlook. I don't mind exporting this info into any of them.
Thank you for your help!

With only webaccess, it is difficult. However, you can use cut and paste or forward the email to another account. You just have to be creative...and willing to put a little elbow grease into it.

ADDRESS BOOK AND EMAIL FILES AND FOLDERS WIPED CLEAN

I accidently lost all my files and mail folders and address book using while using an FTP transit application. Is there a way to restore my address book and mac mail files which no longer show up in the application. These are my work and client projects, folders, and addresses!

Address Book is your only option in Mail, and for good reason. It allows you to share the same data with any other Address Book-aware application.

Importing address book and emails from a PC to a Mac

I would like to get my address book contents from Outlook Express into my Mac Pro's Mail address book.
Is there some easy way to do this? I'm on OSX 1.5.2.
Also, is it possible to copy over my sent items folder from Outlook Express into the Mac?
I have a lot of saved emails in OE that I will need to have access to from the Mac, and I would also like to avoid having to manually redo my entire address book.
Are Safari and Mail the best apps to use on a Mac for email and internet, or should I install something else?
Should I just forget the whole thing and install Win XP on the Mac so that I can use my OE stuff?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

I had no problems by installing Thunderbird on my PC first, and then importing all of my Outlook data into Thunderbird. I then located and made a copy of the Thunderbird Mail file, which I moved to my Mac. I installed Thunderbird on my Mac, and imported the file I moved from the PC. I was then able to use the resulting mail file in Mac's Mail.
It's been several months ago, and my details might not be exact...however, a little bit of messing with it will definitely get the job done. I had about 10 years of data to move.
Regarding contacts, I think I exported a comma delimited file from the PC, which I was able to import into Mac's Address book....it wasn't difficult. Good luck! Bill

How do I restore address book and emails lost when I upgraded to current version?

First, I am not a tech savvy guy, so please be patient with me.
Last Friday, my email stopped. Message on the screen said "Inbox is full. Delete unwanted messages to make room" etc.
First, I went to Help/Tools and upgraded to the newest version. That did not solve the problem.
I couldn't find anything on Mozilla/Thunderbird site that seemed to fit the problem, so I contacted my service provider, XMission.
After trying several things, and guiding me through several things that I did not really understand (see 1st line above), he then guided me to the Mozilla web site and had me download a new version from there. (His explanation was that probably there was something in my longtime Mozilla/Thunderbird installation that had become corrupted). So I did that.
We finished about 2 AM, and the "Inbox" appeared to be working, and all of a sudden email from last Friday through to early this morning appeared in the inbox. So I thought the problem was solved.
Alas, this morning, when I got looking through things, I discover that my address book is gone, and all my archive files, going back several years. I contacted XMission again, and they told me I had been contact Mozilla.

yeah, about time you stopped following their bad advice anyway. The fix was originally simple. Now not so much.
So 20 question time. I am asking each question for a reason. please answer them all.
In the windows start menu... type %appdata%\thunderbird\profiles and press enter
In the explorer windows that opens, what folders are shown? (Names please)
On Thunderbirds help menu select troubleshooting information and click the show folder against profiles.
What folder does explorer open into this time? (it will be one of those you listed before I hope.)
Is there only a few incoming emails in your inbox in the mail profile your currently using? (I hope so.)

Scroll and enter to 'address book' icon.
Press Menu button (the one to the left of the trackball with the little dots on it)
A menu should come up, scroll to 'Sim Phone Book' and there you have it..

Mail Newbie needs help importing address books from SeaMonkey

I multiple address books created in SM Mail which I have exported as ldif files. I created various "Groups" in Address Book but when I try to import them, they come into "All Contact" and another Group called "Last Import", not the "Group" I would like them to be in. I can move the address to the correct "Group" but after I do so and empty the "Last Import" Group it deletes them elsewhere. With each new import "The Last Import" Group continues to grow and it seems awkward to have to sort through the address to then move them to the correct group, any tips or is this just the Address works?
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

I don't know if this works with LDIF files, but it works for my VCF vcards: drag the files onto the appropriate groups (as opposed to using the Import feature). You might need to have the group selected, although that was unnecessary when I did it. Don't just drag them anywhere in the Address Book window; the cursor must hover over and highlight the destination group's name (you should receive a confirmation dialog box about wanting to add the contacts to that group).
As for the Last Import group, that seems to be currently broken. Like yours, my Last Import group does not refresh to show the most recent additions. Rather it accumulates everything from every import ever, which renders it pretty useless.

How do I sync changes to my address books and emails between two computers?

I have a desktop and laptop. I want to be able to synchronize my changes between the two computers. For instance when I add a new contact or delete email from my desktop I want those changes to be synced on the laptop. I have three email addresses which are all POP accounts.

Email? Use IMAP. Your current POP-based service is fundamentally unsuited to your needs.
Contacts are not so easy. You need a common central data store that all your installed address books can synchronize with. Google Contacts is one such, but there are difficulties in that it and Thunderbird handle street addresses differently. I use gContactSync to synchronize Thunderbird with Google and for the most parts it's quite satisfactory. Where I have trouble is with a Blackberry, but the Blackberry phone has various other issues that lead me to think that Blackberry coding is not of the highest quality.
Another (and non-google) solution is this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addressbooks-synchronizer/
which can sync your address books to a variety of different resources, including a folder in an email account. So this is fine between various installations of Thunderbird, but probably can't reach out to other devices or email clients. I haven't tried it with an ftp server yet; if you are able to run your own then this may offer the best way of using this add-on.
I think a cause for concern is that Thunderbird's Address Book use a "flat file" format, where each address book is stored within a single file. So one small minor change to one Contact potentially necessitates the whole file (address book) being updated, leading to large and therefore slow transfers between Thunderbird and the relevant server.

Need help with my contacts and email - used to have ipod touch

Hi all
I had an ipod touch in the past that I used to sync through the laptop i'm on now. However, I sold that quite some time ago and just got a new iphone the other day. when I hooked it up to my laptop to set up, my old touch account came up. This normally wouldn't be a problem but now it's syncing all my OLD contacts (thousands of them) and old email accounts...some of which are not in my windows live mail anymore.
How do I go about:
1) getting rid of all these contacts that were just loaded onto the phone
2) starting new to add only the contacts I have in my windows live contacts list?
I've tried deauthorizing the computer but that didn't do anything other than delete old apps I had on the touch.
Much appreciated!

Were you provided an option to transfer the backup from your Touch to your iPhone that you accepted?
Which supported application on your computer are you syncing contact info with?
With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista. The address book is called Windows Contacts I believe and the sync option for contact info is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

My computer crashed. HOw can I recover my address book, and emails?

My computer recently died. It was old and I plan to get a new one rather than repair the old one. Is there a way to recover my address book? Recovering old emails would be nice, but I'm really most concerned about all my addresses.

If the hard disk on the old computer still works, you could get someone to copy the profile from it to a CD. Then you could load that profile onto your new computer. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb to locate it.
If the hard disk is not usable, then without backups you don't have much left. :(

Need help with Address Book---trying to print first names first???

I am trying to print address labels from the Address Book but the last name keeps coming up first. Entered correctly using First and Last name boxes. Also checked the Preferences-General and marked the box to put First names first but no luck. Am I missing something?

See the Address Book Preferences/General tab. Is the the "Sort by" dropdown box set to Last Name?

Need Help with Scheduling, Saving, and Emailing a Report From Apex

My ultimate goal is to schedule a report to be created in apex, save it to the database (in pdf), and then email it.
I can schedule the proc which underlies the report. I can send an email from the databse. But I don;t know how to do all three of these in an automated fashion via apex. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon,
I run this type of process in a complete Windows environment - the client was Windows XP and the Database & Application Server were both Windows Server 2003.
Typically, I would build a .BAT file within a Page Procedure that included a line to run the report, saving to a .PDF file and then generate a sql statement that would send an email to the user. In your case, you would want to email the .PDF as an attachment. My email was a notification that the report was ready for them to download and they would access their FTP folder.
You can then schedule the .BAT file to run using the Oracle Scheduler to have that process run as an executable. The scheduler allows you set the date/time the process should run. To do this, your user must have CREATE JOB and CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privileges to run external jobs. (see the Oracle DB Admin manual for further details).
Good luck,
Don.

Need help with account sharing and email

I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, dual 2.0 processors and 1.5 meg ram. Just installed iLife 05 and having an iPhoto problem. My spouse and I have separate user accounts on the same pc. We'd like to share our photos with one another (they're actually the same photo's). On my account, iPhoto email is "mail", no problem. On hers it displays Entourage. I can't change it from preferences pane. Greyed out. On my account it shows America on line but the email icon is "mail" Can you help. We both want "mail"
What is the proper way to share this account? Do we check preferences and share or do we go to the User accounts and move the photo library? Please provide a basic explanation to one who is not really familiar with the workings of a Mac. That's why I went to a Mac in the first place. It just generally works.
Thanks in advance.
Al

The iPhoto sharing that was in the previous version doesn't seem to exist. There is now iCloud Photo Sharing.

I don't know about the file sharing issue.

Address book and Mail help needed

Greetings. I recently switched from Entourage to Mail. I'm having some troubles with Address Book and Mail. I hope that someone can help.
1. I can't seem to find an easy way to determine if an email address is already in the Address Book. In Entourage, if the email address is not in the address book, it gives me the option to add it with a link at the top of the mail window. How can I tell if an email address from an incoming mail is in the Address Book or not?
2. In Mail, when I right-click on a mail address that I am sure is in the Address Book, it often gives me the option to "Add to Address Book". Other times, it will give me the option to "Open in Address Book". There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Is there something that I can do to fix this inconsistency?
3. In Entourage, when adding a new email address to the address book, I can just click on the button in the mail window to do that, which automatically opens the new address, and then I can edit information and add a category. In Mail, the same functionality requires several separate steps (Add to Address Book, open Address Book, find new email address, click on edit to make changes, drag to Group). Is there some way to streamline the process in Mail?
Thanks much.

I have the same problem as #2.
I have a contact who sends me email from two addresses. However, in mail, the two address return different sender names - one is his initial "j" and the other is his full name.
This makes it annoying to sort threads by the "from" field, or search for that sender.
I added both to the address book, opened address book, and selected "merge contacts."
They merged. But in mail, they still return different sender names! Merge failed!
After merge, all the "j" emails still offer "add to address book" when i click them. When I do this, it creates a new address card, and if I merge this with the old merged card, then the email goes back to offering "add to address book" instead of updating all those emails with the sender's full name. Basically Mail is ignoring the address book just for that sender!
I tried "add to address book" -> quit mail -> open address book
There was the entry.
Then open mail,
There was the email, "open in address book" appeared and so I did.
I edited the name to match the full name.
Go back to mail. Still listed in mailbox as "j" instead of full name.
Now "add to address book" has returned to the choices!
Seems like a bug!!!
