Open an Outlook massage on mac

Hi!
My dad has a problem with his old e-mails. He recently got himself an iMac and before he changed from PC, he saved all of his imortant e-mails (from Outlook) into .msg files. But now he can't open them in Mac Outlook, neither Mail. When we tried, the .msg file put itself an an attached file in a new e-mail window.
Does anyone have an idea about what to do? Is there a program or app that can open .msg files properly? The text editor can open them, but it's hard to find the information you want in it.
Thanks
Jonas

Outlook MSG Viewer works really well for this purpose.

    No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

    New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011
    Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

    Hi friends,
    I have the same problem.
    Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
    It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
    I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
    If yes how can I solve the problem?
    Please let me know.
    Many thanks.
    Best regards

  • I recently purchased an apple mac, installed office microsoft mac 2011, went to open microsoft outlook and it states that i have to update my purchase to have access to microsoft office

    I recently purchased an Apple Mac Retina installed Office Microsoft:mac 2011 but will not let me open microsoft outlook - message is that I have to upgrade Office Microsoft:mac 2011.  I only purchased this on the weekend!!!

    Does the message say "update" (as in your title) or "upgrade" (as in your text)? Can you give us the exact wording (or a screen shot)?

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

    Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

    I have a 2010 MacBook pro with 500 Gig of memory.  Recently, i received a warning about running out of memory space.  When I open up my about my mac icon, I see that "other" is chewing up most of the memory.
    1. When I open finder, I can't seem to see where/why my computer's memory is almost exhausted.
    2. What is the best way to focus on where my memory is being consumed.
    3. What is the safest way of deleting programs/files that are not needed.
    4. In my mail account I see hundreds of messages for email, but they have an OLK designator, if I delete these, does that erase the same message from Microsofy outlook for Mac or is it a redundant file.  These messages do not consume much memory though.
    5. I know there will be a new operating system available this summer, and I am trying to make sure that if I pursue it, I will have sufficient memory available.
    many thanks,

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

  • Ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox although my mac switches to the firefox window as this is my default browser- what to do? Previously this has always worked without a hitch...

    ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox athough my mac switches to the firefox window as i have this set to be my default browser- what should i do?

    I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac: Lost all emails

    Hello,
    I installed Microsoft 2011 for Mac two months ago and I was quite happy with that. Ok, I must say that Outlook often pops up with "Outlook 2011 has encountered a problem and needs to close". This is annoying, but when Outlook is re-opened all runs smoothly. I understand this is a problem with Microsoft, rather than with Mac, so I live with the idea.
    The problem here is that when I have opened my Outlook this morning, to my great surprise, I have found out that all my emails have disappeared: nothing in my Inbox, no folders, no Archive, no contacts, no task list, no accounts set... Nothing! Outlook appears as if it is the first time it is used.
    As far as I recall, I didn't do anything weird yesterday before shutting down. Luckily, I have a backup dated 17th July (no Archive folders, though), so I have lost just 2 weeks of emails (I'm currently importing that) but still, I would like to know what has happened to my emails and why.
    Anyone can help, please?
    Thank you for your consideration and for your help.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac keeps asking me for password

    I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail.
    I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
    The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. with my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts)....it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server. 
    Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:  
    Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
    Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
    The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing)  and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.........(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as.
    I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said "if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465...just leave them. And I *am* able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message "server not recognised" or whatever it says....I can't recall the exact words.
    I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way).
    Apple did ask, however if my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained  that it really isn'y *my* choice; it's the server people's choice. 
    My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? Is it BT? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office.
    I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? with Outlook? or with my Server? or possibly all of the above? and how does one identify the real issue?
    Many thanks! 

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

  • Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

    OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
    Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK. 
    So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
    Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

    After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
    I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts.  I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation.  Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
    OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
    I think "DFS" is a distributed file system.  That's as much as I know about this.

  • Export Apple mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac

    Hi everyone,
    I don't like the serie Mail/iCal/Carnet d'adresses from Apple, reason why I bought Outlook 2011 for Mac.
    I succeed transferring all my contacts to Outlook.
    I try now to transfer all my mails with their categories to Outlook too but I don't succeed.  I read some discussions on this forum but they are obsolete as they were with snowLeopard and Outlook 2011.  Would someone have good news for me and find a way to transfer all the mails with their categories from Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac ?
    It would be nice and to receive a positive answer.
    Thank you for your help

    INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
    I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
    The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
    You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
    Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
    1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
    2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
    - click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
    - click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
    - click on “add file”
    - select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
    Now here comes the trick
    - select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
    - then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
    Select “mbox”
    - click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
    - click on save
    And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
    I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
    Hope this helps.
