Old Outlook emails (windows) on to Thunderbird (Mac); Files already on Mac

Hi, I have looked at several forums, including this one, and cannot find an answer to my question. If you can help I would hugely appreciate it.
1) I used to use Microsoft Outlook on a Windows PC.
2) I now have a Macbook Pro with OS Leopard
3) I use Thunderbird as my current email programme on my Mac
4) When I had my windows PC I saved my old emails into a two files (one for sent items, one for inbox items). I currently have these two files (about 3 GB in size each) saved in a folder on my Mac. When I look at the 'info' section, it says they are 'Unix Executable Files'.
I wish to transfer my old Outlook emails into Thunderbird, open them and save them in my appropriate folders. I currently use a Gmail account that is IMAP-linked, but I don't think this is in any way relevant to my problem.
Can someone help me open these old emails in Thunderbird?

I don't know if this helps but check out Outlook2MaC.

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion?il

How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion? I don't really want to go back to Snow Leopard in order to access the old Microsoft Applications, but they simply aren't supported in Lion.

In Mail you can select Import Mailboxes... from the File menu. There is an import from Entourage feature.

Trigger Outlook eMail window in WebDynpro

Hi,
If we code in HTML as <a href="mailto:[email protected]"> Mail to</a>, this will trigger the outlook email window to send an email.
How can i do this in WebDynpro. Any Ideas...

Hi Lakshmi:
Is easy to do it, follow the next steps:
Insert in your Layout Design a LinkToURL GUI Control, in the properties of this control there are special propertie called "reference" put there the email for open with the outlook window, for example : mailto:[email protected]
also there are a property "text", put it whatever you want for example : send me a email
good luck, that works

Imported old Outlook emails in mbox format look like HTML script?

I needed to import old Outlook messages but they were in saved as .pst files. I transposed them to .mbox using Entourage, then imported this Mailbox into Mail. 90% of these converted email messages look like HTML script while 10% look normal. I need suggestions as to how to reload them so they show up as readable. Apple could not find a fix for this. I'm a Mac rookie, and not too savvy about software at all, so please be gentle with help suggestions. I took a screen shot of one messed up message, but can't seem to copy it to attach it here?

If you still have access to the original Outlook message structure, I'd recommend Outlook2Mac from Little Machines. Works a treat moving Outlook files into .mbox format and is very reasonably priced.

Outlook emails at work - transferring to mac Entourage or Mail or anything at home !

Hi,
I use PC Outlook at work. I have loads of personal emails but work does not allow me to use the "export" function to export any emails from my work system, even if personal (ugh). So I cannot export my emails or folders as a .pst file (or anything else).
What I am able to do is copy and paste individual Outlook emails on to my personal hard drive, as a .msg file.
Is there a good way I can transfer these .msg files on my hard drive into a readable format on my Mac at home (e.g. I have Entourage or Mail or Yahoo or Gmail)?
I know I will have lost the date/time stamp/ordering system, but I would be happy just to be able to access the email text and attachments (even if not ordered by date/time). Is this possible?
Apologies if this has been discussed to death on these forums. I have tried searching the forums but most of the previous discussions seem to presume you can export the files from work, rather than the messy cut and paste of .msg files.
Thank you.

Oh ! I have now found a discussion thread which recommended this, which looks like a solution: http://www.element26.net/products/shop/outlook-msg-viewer/ . This forum is great !
But if anyone has a better solution (i.e. a free solution ! ) or a better tip of transferring Outlook emails (without using the "export" function, as it is disabled at work), then I'd be grateful.
Thanks.

How to pop-up Outlook Email window with To: blank?

Hi All,
I currently have a page which shows multiple rows with checkboxes. I have an After Submit process which loops through the rows and stores some values of the checked rows into a variable to be used as the body of an email. I then call apex_mail.send() to send the email.
Instead of prepopulating a TO: address within the process and have it send automatically, I would like to have Outlook pop-up the email window with the body prepopulated as mentioned above but with the TO: address box null so that the user can select the address from Outlook's Address Book.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

1: Yup.. It would look something like this:
<a href="mailto:?body=aslkdjldfks">Open Email</a> the # should read:
"mailto:?body=aslkdjldfks"
2: If you go this route, there are a few things you need to remember:
The mailto tag is client side. So you would have to generate the javascript on the server and print it out on the client.
If your users do not have Outlook, or another mail client, this will do nothing.
If you have a really long message body it will not work.
If you have weird characters you will need to encode these.
So, if you still think that the mailto is what you need then here is some javascript that will auto open it for you:

How to migrate Outlook emails, contacts etc to Thunderbird in an other PC without Outlook.

I am upgrading to a new PC and many changes take place at the same time. The old PC with Outlook and 2 GB of emails is still working (somehow). In the new PC there is no Outlook present. How to move the email, contacts, (calendar) to the new PC with Thunderbird as email application.
The instructions on your web let me understand that I need to have Outlook on the new PC to do the moves of emails. It does not offer other alternatives. If it helps I can copy the Outlook *.pst files to the new PC (but where and what happens next?). I have no possibility to install outlook on the new PC without buying a new program!

Why not install Thunderbird on the older computer and migrate the mails there, then copy the profile to the new computer?

Outlook email on my MAIL in Mac Air - need help.

I have had the same problem. I've tried repeatedly to set up my outlook account on my Mac and followed the directions, but I cannot get my Mac to accept this account. It exisited until last week. Any clues? I've copied all of the settings from a friend's Mac (of course with my email name and pw). His works fine. Mine does not.

How to resize an object in an Outlook email on a Mac?

When I bring an object, say a screenshot of a web site, inside an Outlook email on a Retina display Mac, the image is typically hige and cannot be resized. In Outlook for Windoes, you can just resize it any size you want by clicking on a corner and resizing. In Mac Mail, there is an option to resize but with only 3 predefined sizes (small, medium, and large if my memory serves me well). Can this resizing be done in Outlok mail and I just missed it? If not can Apple work with Microsoft to get them to put this basic feature in? And do a better job with Apple Mail on this?
I am the guinea pig for my company to see if we should not switch everyone to Mac. I like Mac a lot, but there are a few basic features like this one that may make it impossible. Another one is the seemingly lack of ability to turn on auto formating of hyperlinks in Outlook or Aple Mail. When I ahve talked to an Apple Geniws on these 2 issues, they typically tell me they don;t know much about Outlook and they want to focus on Mac Mail. The probem is my entire company, like many, is using Outlook exchange and is not going to change that anytime soon. Is there a solution to this resizing issue?

This may not be the correct design, but I had success doing the following:
1. Create an Stateless EJB that does a task, i.e. update a database table.
2. Create a subclass of java.util.TimerTask to call the EJB methods.
3. Kick off the TimerTask from a servlet.init method.
Seems to work pretty well to do scheduled tasks, such as refreshing lookup tables. I would imagine the same could be done with an MBean, but I haven't had time to fully understand JMX yet. (It's on the list).
As for event driven procedures, that can be done through a servlet interface.
You may also wish to review a scheduler here: http://www.part.net/quartz.html. Note, I have NOT even looked at it yet, so I have no clue if it's any good. But, it is on my list of tools to evaluate (that's a long list) someday when my head's above water. Have a look, and caveat emptor.
Hope this helps,

Outlook emails onto Time Capsule

I need to be able to access easily old Outlook emails as if they were on my Macs Hard Drive. I would like to use my Time Capsules HD to do this as well as storing other files/folders from my old PC, I guess I'm trying to set it up as a wireless cloud type arrangment except without clogging up my internet connection. Another way to easily explain it.......I'm running my new Mac as well as my old PC side by side as I need info of it...

Why not just copy the PST outlook files to the Mac? And use outlook in Mac version.. MS office. It can surely import or directly open the PST file.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413370
You can just open the PST file if you need an email..
Otherwise keep the PC running until you have finished all you need to refer to. It is rather short sighted to simply dispose of a computer if you actually need access to it. And it is always easier to access from the native software and application that was used than any imported version.

How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud. Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
How can I get this email address set up in icloud?

Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
When MobileMe was live
MobileMe ID was [email protected]
AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
When MM died
I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
Then ticked the untick Mail box
Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
System Preference - Mail... Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside). Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

Outlook Email Client Switch from Mac to Windows

Switching from outlook windows to outlook for mac seems quite an easy task but the vide versa is not the same.
I have downloaded email files in outlook for mac that I need to import to outlook for windows.
The main issue is that I have deleted all the mails from the server and have saved emails in outlook 2011. Now uploaing these emails is taking ages and I am running out of time.
How can I transfer all these files from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2013 for windows???
helpful answers will be really appreciated

Hi,
Generally, we can export the mailbox data to an Outlook for Mac Date file(.olm file) in Outlook 2011 for Mac. As for Outlook for Windows, the default Outlook Data file is .PST file. If so, we need to find some third-party tools to convert OLM file to PST
file for Windows Outlook using.
Personal suggestion, we can consider to create a new imap account acted as a transfer mailbox. To do it, please follow:
1. Create a new IMAP account, such as a Hotmail.com account.
2. Configure the Hotmail account in your Outlook 2011 for Mac and import the exported OLM file to this account.
3. The imported data file will synced to IMAP account in mail server. We can login to the Web mail page to double check it.
4. If the data has been synced complete in Hotmail mail server, we can configure this Hotmail account in your Outlook for Windows. Then all mailbox data can be download to the local Outlook in Windows machine.
5. Now, we can drag the messages from this Hotmail account to your main account. Or we can export Hotmail mailbox to PST file for other Windows Outlook using.
Additionally, here is a similar thread about your issue:

How to open and use mac outlook email file on pc

I recently moved from mac to widnows platform. I have my emails exported from mac in a file and now when I try opening the file on windows pc, it simply
does not recognize it as a valid file. what shall be done to get emails back?

Hi,
Based on the description, you seem to have an olm file? Please note Outlook for Windows can only import emails from pst files, olm files can't be imported into Outlook for Windows directly.
A workaround is to setup an IMAP account in Outlook for Mac - it's better to be an empty new account, we can sign up one from many email providers. Then move all emails you need to migrate into that IMAP account. Outlook will
start to sync, all the emails will be uploaded to the email server.
The next step is to create that IMAP account in Outlook for Windows. After the emails are synced, we should find all these emails you need in the local .pst(Outlook 2010) or .ost (Outlook 2013) file.
I hope this makes sense for you, if you have any questions about the steps, feel free to let me know.

Outlook 2011 for Mac + Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand

Does anyone know of a "Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand" plug in that'll work with Outlook 2011 for Mac?

Hi,
Thanks for all of the responses - I have now done these suggested settings which has downloaded all of the separate inbox folders but I am still having a couple of errors:
1: If I delete an email on outlook 2011 it doesn't actually delete it from my email account
Are you 100% sure the account is now IMAP?
2: I am unable to send any emails I get an SMTP error?
Have you ticked the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' box in the outgoing server section.
3: I still have to click send/receive to receive any emails
This is for Outlook 2010 on Windows, but there will be something similar on your version. Go to File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive where you should be able to set the parameters required.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Old Outlook files separated from current -- need to find some old saved emails

I had a computer issue and the computer guy who fixed it separated my old files into a folder he called "Windows Old" on my desktop. I can find all my old files there except I can't open any Outlook files. There's an email I saved
from Nov 2006 that I need to find and open somewhere within this folder.
I've found some outlook files in that folder, but it says I can open them only with Outlook.... but when I try to open them from within the Outlook menu, I can't find the files. And copying and pasting the location doesn't help. Please help!
Below is a copy-and-past of where I've found my outlook data file from that pariod
C:\Users\Dell1\Desktop\Windows.old\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Thanks

Hi <o:p></o:p>
This issue may be occurring due to these reasons like:<o:p></o:p>
If Outlook finds the .pst file on a server to deliver the email messages which is inaccessible.
If Microsoft Outlook got the PST file but it had been corrupted due to some reasons.
If you have changed the location of Outlook .pst file and did not re-locate it in Outlook.
Use one of the following methods to resolve the above mentioned issue:
Click to re-locate your Outlook PST file
Click for PST that is located on a server
Click to fix it using PST Recovery Solution
