Please help new apple user

hello i am buying the new 24inch imac and wanted to know if anyone can help me find a program or something that will let me convert my outlook express email folders like inbox and deleted folders. in put them into osx mail inbox and deleted folders. can this be done?
thank you
Jason

Is your account in outlook express POP or IMAP?
If it is an IMAP account in outlook express, then you only need set up that IMAP account in mail.app on your new imac, and you are done.
If it is a POP account in outlook express, then you first need to set up an IMAP account in outlook express - gmail offers a free IMAP account service for example, or Fastmail or AIM mail... Once the IMAP account has been set up in outlook express, then just drag and drop from your pop account mailboxes to your imap account mailboxes, depending on the number of emails you drag and drop it may take less or more time for that process to be completed. Once that is done, then set up that IMAP accountin mail.app on your new imac, and again you are done.
I would add that if you want a POP account on your imac, then you would have to create a POP account in mail.app then drag and drop your mail from the mailboxes in your IMAP account to your new POP account.
hope this helps

  • PLEASE HELP    |    ~ New apple user  ~      How to add "most played" list

    Hi all.
    Ive never bought anything from apple untill the 160 gb ipod classic. Ive been using itunes but now with the iPod I was looking a bit how things work.
    Now ive found out I don't seem to have a playlist on my iPod with the most played songs. Ive connected the iPod with itunes and made a smart playlist with played on 25. Now the list is there but there are only 24 songs in it and it isn't showing the ammount of how many times ive played them.
    Now ive inspirated this playlist by many other older iPods ive seen but never owned where there is, somehow, a playlist with the most played song.
    is this just simply impossible?
    Also, I was wondering if itunes updates itself after conntecting (so it would update - for example - the ratings that have changed on my iPod.
    Sorry for the bad english and many thanks for reading this. please help.
    - thanks

    Hi again. It seems like there is information people are looking for to help you that they don't have. It occurs to me that you have a new Mac and you perhaps have an Apple Store with a Genius Bar in your area. A great experience for you might be to visit one and let them setup your mail for you (for free) and debug, if there is a problem of any sort. You can make an advanced reservation at Apple Stores at http://www.apple.com/buy/. Select the nearest store and make reservation. If you haven't been in an Apple Store, you're in for a treat.

  • My iPhone will not turn on or do anything. When I plug my iPhone into my computer to restore it it comes up with error 2001 or 21 and I've tried everything. Please help experienced apple users!

    Tittle says all! I need help! The iPhone 5 will not do anything when pluged in. Please help!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Not enough room for iWork, please help new mac user!

    I'm a college student in great need of a word processing application for my Powerbook G4. I just bought iWork for that reason and am stuck because I don't know how to get rid of the right things on the Hard drive to make enough room for it. It says it needs 74.4GB and only has 62.3GB free on the hard drive. Please let me know how I can free up space and get my homework done asap! Thanks, Caro

    You should have a look at OmniGroup's OmniDiskSweeper application, which you can find here:
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
    This application will analyse your hard disk usage and list all the files according to category (application, document, etc.) and size, thus making it easy to identify large and useless files. Note that this application is, technically speaking, not free, as you have to pay $15 to enable the delete button. However, if you've identified several large files which you'd like to delete, you can easily do that in the Finder, so from a practical point of view, DiskSweeper is free. Oh, one last suggestion: be careful when deleting stuff. Try avoiding deleting stuff that is on your system or library folders, UNLESS you really know what you are doing.

    Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
    I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • I'm a new Apple user - when I deleted some large files the available space didn't increase - I emptied the trash - am i missing a step to tidy the hard drive?

    I'm a new Apple user - when I deleted some large files the available space on the hard drive in the activity monitor
    didn't increase - I emptied the trash - am i missing a step to tidy the hard drive?

    Open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click View > Show Status Bar
    You should now see the the free space available at the bottom of any Finder window and that should change after you empty the Trash.
