No "Outlook" import option in Apple Mail

When I try to import my mailbox from my Mac Outlook email client into my Apple Mail email client, there is no import option for Outlook (there is an option for Outlook's predecessor Entourage but Outlook is nowhere to be seen). Is there no compatibility in Lion's Mail for Outlook?

I've done exactly as you've describe above and while every message is imported, each message is unreadable. Small example of a converted email pasted below:

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

Migrate existing email from MS Outlook 2011 (mac) to Apple Mail?

Is there an easy (no cost) way to migrate my old mail (including folders) from MS Office Outlook 2011 to mac Mail?
Thanks...Scott

There are several ways to do it, the way I first thought of is to use an IMAP account and simply set up the account on both and move mail to that account.
An easy way to set up an IMAP account is to create a Gmail email address, then go into the mail settings in gmail and enable IMAP.
Once you've set up IMAP on the Gmail account, you can set up up on both Outlook and Apple Mail, and simply drag the mail you want into folders on the Gmail account, and they'll pop up on Apple Mail under the Gmail account.
You can then decide if you simply keep them on Gmail or if you delete them after moving them locally on Apple Mail.
I also found http://marcushesse.com/2010/exporting-mail-from-outlook-2010-mac-importing-eml-f iles-into-apple-mail/ which details a way of converting the stuff folder by folder over to eml files that can be used in Apple Mail.
I think the email converter application they link on there is very useful for your task.
At the end of all this conversion and moving files around, you should seriously consider setting yourself up with an IMAP account with whatever provider you end up sticking with, since that means you simply set up your email address in Apple Mail, or on the iPad, or iPhone, or PC and it simply has everything once it downloads it fresh, no need for any more migrations of this sort.

ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail

Title:
Mac Mail att htm issue in outlook
Question:
I'm using mac original mail software. I did set my HTML style template. The software is best ever.
And works good when I send email to outlook users on PC. However if I attach PDF for example, it does go through and outlook users get it, however when they open message all they see.
- attached PDF
- and att00001.htm file which has inside email text
Not everybody gets idea to open it and thy think it is empty email. The same email will be sent to apple user everything looks properly. Why email text is converting into the htm file? It happens only if i attach something to my message, if I don't then email text is not being converted to htm attachment.
I think there are a lot of user that know this issue, did anybody find a solution yet?
Thank you
jhyiesla:
I don't think there is anything you can really do about it.
I think that it's how the receivers program is going to interpret it.
For example, I sent an email to my Outlook account from my Mac with just an attachment; no text. I looked at the email in Outlook 2000 and I see the attachment as an item in the body text section of the email. When I look at that same email in Outlook 2003 the attachment shows in the attachment area under the subject line and the body text area is blank.
Then I sent another one with an attachment and some text in the body of the email. In Outlook 2000 I see the text in the text area and the attachment as well as a attxxx file in an area at the bottom of the email. The att file was empty. In Outlook 2003 that same email as the attachment and the empty att file in the attachment area at the top and under the subject line and in the body text area of the email is the text that I typed.
Although Mac Mail uses standard protocols, which is why you can send an email to a Windows PC, it just does some different things. In the WIndows world Outlook and Outlook Express also handle some things differently.
Goldblum:
Thank you for your reply
This issue makes mail.app useless, do you have any recommendations?
Other client which are as good as the mail.app or would be nice to know what is forcing to convert body text to attachment? I could reduce beautiness of my email template by taking out header (jpg) or not using rich text. What exactly is forcing outlook to convert body to attxxxxx.htm file?
jhyiesla:
I truly don't know the answer to that question. Sometimes similar things happen coming the other way. I'll get emails in to my Mac Mail that have jpg files and I'll see the actual pictures in the body of the email.
I happen to also have Office 2008 for the Mac installed and when I sent my self a message and looked at it in Outlook 2000 and XP, the email looked "normal" in all instances. The attachment was marked as an attachment, text was where it should be and no att file.
There are other email clients that would probably work on the Mac like Thunderbird... but I'm guessing that you'd have a similar thing as happens with mac mail. Still it might be worth the download to test it out.
Goldblum:
I used entourage and same HTML template for email and have no problems. It is just so that entourage is as any other MS product "broken" out of the box but did good job and same message is not being converted to HTML attachment when it goes to outlook on PC. I will continue researching internet because it has to be solved. I can't send a message to client without comment to attached invoice. This is so not professional. I will play more with settings of mail.app to see what else can be done to avoid conversion.
jhyiesla:
Entourage probably works well with Outlook because they're both MS products and MS is going to have somewhat similar looks to all their Office products... although there is quite a bit of difference between Entourage and Outlook.
Here's a link that may help you on your search:

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments

Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!

Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
and also related:
http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.

ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail - SOLVED!

Hi All,
We recently discovered the problem where emails with attachments sent from Apple Mail were being received in Outlook, blank but with BOTH the attachment and the email itself as an ATT00001.htm attachment!
I've discovered that the problem kicks in if the attachment is placed BEFORE the email message! If I write an email and then add an attachment AFTERWARD, ie. below the text, there is no problem.
I hope this helps...

Hi, you could try Universal Mailer plugin (http://noware-it.zxq.net), it solves this issue by correctly handling attachments. This also solves the problem for inlined images, which can now be correctly seen by recipients.
PS: following Apple's forum rules I have to state that, since I'm the developer of Universal Mailer, I might make some profits from it. Also, on the website you can find a free version of the plugin, which has some limitation but can be used to test its functionality.

Is there a ( SEND LATER ) option in Apple Mail ?

Hi, I need to configure apple mail in Mac OS X 10.5.6 to queue messages, i.e. send latter,
I don't want to take the account offline, I still want to receive messages but be able to control when an eMail is actually sent.
It's for a client who has a bad habit of sending unfinished eMails too quickly.
We are moving her to mail after 8 years using Eudora.
Please advise, thanks

If a particular client or particular software package doesn't work for you, then go find a package that better fits your requirements and expectations; there are options around. Thunderbird seems to have options here.
As for suggestions around Apple Mail, that's usually via the "Provide Mail Feedback" item in the Apple Mail menus. Apple Mail > Mail > Provide Mail Feedback > and make your case.
Would there be a reason to hold off on sending your enhancement suggestion for a few hours?

How to import contacts from apple mail

How do I import my contacts from Apple mail?
I can export a csv file but verizon does not seem to like it.

Same response I gave to your prvious posting.
There are many V Card converter programs. This is one of them. I have not used or tested it. Do search on the web for .vcf to .csv.

Outlook functionality gone in Apple Mail

Im a former PC user who has seen the light. I used to use Outlook for email. It had a setting to allow you to send mail on a delay, e.g. 5 mins. I loved this as I often hit send and then went back and make a change or two to my emails before they actually were sent from my computer.
I can't seem to find this functionality in Mail. I'd even settle for being able to see the message in the outbox (where I can reopen if I'm quick enough), but the outbox is hidden.
Any suggestions on a work around. Any widgets out there that add a delay to sending the mail?
Thanks,
steve

As an update, I've confirmed that even today's backup shows all the messages are still where they should be, but they don't appear in the Apple Mail Inbox. They do appear in the backup Apple Mail Inbox. Any ideas on how to get my mail to re-appear as it should?
Thanks.

Import funtion for apple mail crashing after starting

Just got a new hard drive after Genius Bar said it was failing this week.
After they re-installed Snow Leopard, I moved my data from Time Machine back-up to my MacBook Pro. During this process, the mail import wizard kept crashing (Assuming there was at least one mbox file that either was corrupt or something?). So, I dumped .plist file, opened mail app and starting re-building all my folders one at a time using the 'rebuild' function.
But, the rebuild function did not grab a separate sub-folder in Sent Folder for my work POP accounts called 'Messages-T0x10bc0cb00-1KEwvh' - all of these have sent mail from the last two years. Everytime I try importing them, mail app crashes.
A) How do I get these emails into my sent folder for this POP account?
B) Why is the import function crashing? (The console keeps saying Can't get profile to fetch realms edu.mit.kerberos.krb5kdc Throttling respaw: Will start in 10 seconds)
C) How do I know if "Rebuild" function didn't grab some other folders - do I need to manually find and rebuild those sub-folders?
Thanks so much....
Sorry re-posting but there isn't any editing functionality.

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk for OS 10.6.8 and under. It shows you how in the link.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Export apple mail emails to outlook 2011

I installed Ms office 2011 in mac book pro a couple of days ago. I need to transfer emails from apple mail to outlook 2011. I see import option for apple mail in outlook import wizard. So hoe can I import apple mail emails in outlook without any data loss
as these emails are of great importance.

Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your
messages.
Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
One tool that I am familiar with is Apple
Mail Export
Or you can find more on google or yahoo for
more results
Hope this helps!

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
