Outlook for Mac e-mail import issues

Ok -- I have tried everything and I can't seem to figure this out. I exported my old e-mail from outlook for windows 2010 into a pst file and then imported that into outlook for mac 2011. The folders come in but the e-mails themselves are not there. I am fairly confident the messages are there somewhere in the back background as it took 15 minutes or so to import the whole file. I tried only importing 1 small folder and it imported in a few seconds so I am pretty confident they are there I just can't see them. Has anyone else had this problem and can offer any help?

There is a longish way to do this.
In Outlook, Select the folder you want to move (If there are folders within the folder, you have to select each individual subfolder, as the subfolders won't copy along with the main folder, only the messages in the folder will copy). Click and drag the selected folder (ex: inbox folder) to a new folder on your desktop. I couldn't figure out a way to select all the folders, so i dragged each folder and subfolder from Outlook into the folder on the desktop. Once you're done copying all the Outlook folders, open up Mac Mail. Go to File --> import mailboxes. Then select "Files in mbox format" and click continue. Then select desktop, and the folder you dragged all of your Outlook folders into. Hit "Choose." Mac Mail will import all of these folders, and when it's finished, will tell you that they are under the folder labeled "imports" in Mac Mail, and you just have to move all your subfolders back into their main folders.
Like I said, it takes a little while longer than I would like, but it worked for me and now I have all my old mail from Outlook in Mac Mail.
Hope that helps (and that I explained right)!

Certificates now showing up in Outlook for mac or Mail app.

I want to use outlook for mac to get my e-mails from work. I installed the certificate that i need to connect to the exchange server. I can see it in my keychain. But when i add my account details into Outlook or Mail, and it gives me the popup that i need a certificate, i can't select the certificate that i installed. I only get the preinstalled ones from OSX but not the one i installed myself that i need to connect to the server.
In outlook for mac it only shows me the certificates from the category "my certificates" in the keychain, while the certificate i installed from work is being put into the "certificates" category.
Is there any way how i can Outlook or Mail to recognize the certificate that i installed ?

I have taken some screenshots to clarify the problem a bit more :

How can I import Outlook for Mac mail into Lion Mail?

How can I import mail from Outlook for Mac into Lion Mail?

It is not Outlook that needs to be sync'd; it is the Exchange Server. Find out from the System Administrator of the Exchange Server the EXTERNAL name and use that to setup a new mail account in Lion Mail. I highlight the "external" because the URL used for Window's Outlook Clients will not work. Try the webmail URL first.

How to export imported pst that was in outlook for mac?

Hi Clinton,
the mailing list manager only lets me create rules and the outlook forums don't seem to adress the issue I am having.
I can see every where how to create the mailing group, and as far as i can see, I'm doing it corectly, however, I can't send the mail to the group as it sees something wrong with the mails. I've even double checked the mailing adresses just to be sure.
Must say, I'm stumped on this one..
Thanks for trying
Regards

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

Moving mail data from mail to Outlook for Mac.

I am moving old PC mail data (outlook 2007) to Mac. I used the mac mover, which was great but... it has moved my old mail data to mac mail. I am trying to export that data now (on the mac mail) to then import into Outlook for Mac, but not getting anywhere? Outlook support says it will import the data as a mac export txt file, but whenever i try and import Outlook can not see the file.
I have also tried to just export the mail data from one mac users mail app to another and that is also not working. Import mail function reports format error, even though it is from the same version of mail on the same machine.
any suggestion, links to info much appriciated.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Cannot Import Email and Folders from Outlook for Mac 2011

After downloading Lion, I could not import emails and folder structure from Outlook for Mac 2011.

You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

Hi all,
we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
Exchange Server.
We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject
25.02.2015 16:48:52 [email protected].. {}
25.02.2015 17:04:43 [email protected].. {}

We can still reproduce the issue on different Mac computers.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Syncing Outlook for Mac with a hotmail pop accountto 'mail' on iphone, ipad and ipod

I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, with a hotmail account set up as a pop account to my outlook inbox. I also have that same hotmail account set up on my iphone, ipad and ipod. Is there a way to sync my e-mail between Outlook for Mac and the 'mail' on my other devices, so that when I delete an email on my computer, it deletes on all devices?
I'm not so tech savvy and am happy to provide any additional information but am not sure where to start! I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).

How do I add my iCloud mail to Outlook for Mac

I can't seem to get my iCloud mail account to sync with my Outlook for Mac! It used to be on there but kept giving me error messages saying it couldn't pick up my mail because it couldn't find the server. I took it off now I can't get it back on.

Check that you have the server settings shown in this Apple Tech Note:

Calendar events issue Outlook for Mac: Failure to update or send notification for meetigns

We are seeing an issues with Outlook for Mac 2011 and calendar events. These events are in the past and Outlook will randomly post errors about the event stating that it has failed to make changes, please contact the original creator.
Additionally, some users are reporting that Outlook will not successfully send meeting cancellation notices to Windows users. All of the server and directory settings are setup correctly. Is there an issue with Outlook for Mac successfully sending
back to the Exchange server here? We're running Exchange server 2007 SP1 and in the midst of upgrading to 2013. Hopefully this and a host of other issues are resolved with 2013.
Thanks.
