Please help, dead end How do you import to Apple mail from Outlook express?

I have a client with an old Mac G3 tower running OS9 and Outlook Express 5.06. I have read all of Apples Mail help and searched for docs and the discussion board. It appears that since the Mac Pro Intel won't run classic I have to some sort of transfer via another app. I have actually found better info on doing this from a PC but no successful suggestions to do it Mac to Mac. I have moved the Microsoft User Data over, tried directly from Apple Mail, tried loading Mozilla and pulling it in there, no good. How do you do this successfully?

I think I have figured this out, looks like I might be able to import to Entourage then to Mail, anyone tried this?

  • How to drag and drop an email from Outlook Express (with example code)

    Hi,
    It is possible to drag a mail from Outlook Express and drop it on the desktop, and the file created is a .eml, which is a text file.
    If I drop it into a Java application, no DataFlavor is provided to make the data transfer possible.
    As the data to transfer is a text, it should be possible to drop it.
    How to make a DataFlavor available and recover the text as a stream of characters?
    Example code
    The small application below shows the MIME type of the data that is about to be dropped. If you drag an icon from the desktop, a type will be displayed; if you drag an Outlook Express mail, no type will be displayed.
    Thanks.

    It might just be Microsoft not using standards? I remember having a similar situation - I had an application that could have a zip entry fron 7-zip drag-and-dropped into it (came over as plain text, or maybe an InputStream, can't remember), but when you drill into a zip file with Windows (Vista at least), and try to drag-and-drop a zip entry from Windows Explorer, Java shows no dataflavors available. I just assumed Microsoft wasn't exporting the zip entry in any standard format (such as plain text).
    Sorry, I know that wasn't very helpful, just thought I'd share a similar experience. :)

  • PLEASE HELP!!  HOW DO YOU COMPILE THE HELLO PROGRAM?

    Hi everybody,
    I just install j2sdk1.4.1_01 on my RH 8. And it's install under the directory /usr/j2sdk1.4.1_01 Now, I was compiling the hello program under /home/JAVATEST
    and it gives me the following error
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hello
    Could anyone please help me on how to solve this problem. I have try to setup CLASSPATH under .bash_profile as this:

    I think it's your program.

    // Put this in a file called hello.java
    public class hello
        public static void main(String args[])
            System.out.println("Hello world!");
        }Try compiling this with the following command : @home>javac hello.java
    then run the command with : @home>java hello

  • How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

    How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
    And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?
    Ratings
    Tags
    Captions
    People tags
    Geotags
    Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

    OK.  I think we're getting close to the answer.
    The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata.        I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson:  Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
    So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way.  Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC.   When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

  • HT1349 how do you import video to Aperture from a dvd with a unix executable file

    how do you import video to Aperture or imovie from a dvd with a unix executable file?

    Allan's suggestion of using the iDisk will work but will fill up the iDisk unless you do housecleaning occasionally. Another, non Apple way would be to upload them to an account on Twango.com. It sort of like MyTube but for photos and videos and is more personal in nature. It's free (monthly uploads are limited to 250MB/mo) and others can easily pop into your public channel (individual sections of a person's account are called channels) and download whatever size you want. You can select the size of your uploads from full sized to 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels max. What I like about the site is that you can email photos to your account. Makes it rather easy. You can also add slideshows and a ticker tape type of display from Twango to web pages (they create the code to use for the channel you select) like this. It's not an Apple thing but I've found it's quick. May or may not be what you're looking for.
    Do you Twango?

  • How to transfer all emails and contacts from Outlook Express to Outlook 2010

    I have just done this and believe me it was a bit of a marathon! Microsoft tell you that you need to have both Outlook Express and Outlook 2010 running on the same machine. If, like me, your Outlook 2010 in running on a Windows 7 platform there is a problem.
    Until now I have been using Outlook Express on a Desktop running XP Pro. It has Outlook 2007 but it won’t run owing to a corrupted file. I set up my email account on an old XP laptop which has Outlook 2007. This is how I transferred emails between 2 machines
    running Outlook Express:
    After setting up the account (on the old laptop) I created sub-folders exactly the same as my existing account. Having got some emails in the inbox I made sure that each new sub-folder contained at least one random email simply by drag and drop. It seems to
    validate the folders. I then copied the folders from the maintenance directory on the desktop (you find this under Tools – Options – Maintenance) and pasted them into the equivalent folder on the this old laptop so they overwrote those present. I transferred
    the contacts simply using Export – Address Book using a csv file. I then set up the email account in Outlook 2007 on the old laptop and ran an import from Outlook Express which was fine as per Microsoft’s instructions. On that machine I then exported to a
    backup pst file which I transferred to my new Windows 7 machine and imported successfully into Outlook 2010. Perhaps there are easier ways but at least it worked!

    You can directly do the same, visit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/196215 to know the steps.

  • PLEASE HELP!! How Do You Restore ITunes Library From IPOD Back To Computer

    My entire library on intunes has been deleted and now all I have left is the music which i still stored on my ipod. I have done a total search on my PC and there is no track listings at all. My only chance is to restore the itunes library from the Ipod back to the PC. Is this possible and how do you do it. Am totally gutted and cant beleive the files are gone. Plllllease help me.

    If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy purchased music back to iTunes directly. If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • How do you stop your Apple ID from popping up?

    I have a IPhone 5 and every time I switch my phone on
    it always prompt me to enter my password etc I have
    tried to reboot my iPhone, I've tried resetting it, I even tried switching
    off my mobile data and it work but the moment I switched it
    back on it prompts me to enter my password again. Please
    tell me how stop this it's annoying me.

    Hello Kane_33,
    It sounds like you keep being prompted to enter your iCloud password every time you turn on your iPhone. I would start by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then close all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phon, sign back in and restest the issue:

  • Help--can I I import to Apple Mail from another e-mail program?

    I have Entourage (Microsoft Office 2004, patched to 2007) and haven't been able to complete a backup since September because the database is apparently corrupted and can't be repaired.  It's very full and I'm sure it's going to crash soon and be irrecoverable, but I don't know what to do to save my emails and the numerous folders I use to organize my life.
    Since the database for that account doesn't seem to be long for this world, does anyone know if it's possible to back up my Entourage accounts by importing them to Apple Mail, so in an emergency I'll still have the data?  Thanks so much for any good advice out that's there!

    You can't import inbox rules to Mail the app on iOS. This is usually done server-side as you see with Gmail. So you're not using exchange where you could create these rules there before they reach your inbox? Does your email provider support creating server-side inbox rules? This way they are universal rather than needing to be set up in every email client you use.
