Revert back to Apple mail from Outlook 2011

I migrated my PST file from Outlook 2010 to the Mac Outlook 2011. In doing so I have discovered that the synching does not work. Is there any way to move my Outlook 2011 back to Apple mail and still retain my folders and emails? I have data that is several years old and need to retain the information. I'm not as concerned about the calendar as I use a 3rd party calendar program. Using Outlook 2011, my contacts and notes do not sync and from what I understand there is no immediate fix. Any thought would be appreciated!

Dreaded Beach Ball Back in Apple Mail 10.8.2

Yup, is it back the dreaded spinning beach ball is back in Apple Mail (10.8.2). I am writing this _itch note while I wait for the dreaded spinning beach ball to stop.
It is now making Apple Mail unuseable AGAIN!
10.8.2 has also cause a few other issues. Apple needs to slow down and test these updates before we update.

Hello folks. I wanted to try to help with Apple Mail. I may have a resolution. Below I (1) explain the issue; (2) offer background; and (3) describe how I took care of it with help from Apple Support.
Here is the issue. I started to get the spinning beach ball. I would force quite Mail, relaunch, and it took maybe 10 tries and it would run okay for about 5 minutes before freezing again. This happened for a full day.
Here is the background. There are two facts that may or may not be relevant: (a) I was one of the 1.1% who lost Apple mail access for 48 hours back in September 2012; and (b) I just upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion when this problem arose. Additional background. I have a .mac account, a gmail account, and three Exchange accounts associated with my job.
Here is how I took care of it. I tried everything.
Force Quite
Rebooting
Reinstalling Mountain Lion
Deleting Mail preferences
Deleting all preferences
Rebuilding mailboxes (when the program was running for a moment)
Eliminating bundles/add-ons such as Mail Act-On and Spam Sieve
Safe Boot
I also tried a guest account on the same machine. Same problem. But my iOS devices worked fine. And Apple Mail worked fine via the web.
Apple Support walked me through all sorts of options, mostly what I tried above. The support guy -- I was passed to the advanced guy -- was actually complimentary, because I listed everything I did, and he said that was all eh would have recommended.
He did give me the top that led to the solution. I am not sure why. But in System Preferences, under Mail, Contacts, Calendars, I turned off all five accounts. Then I turned them on one by one. It seemed as if the Exchange accounts were the problem. With the .mac account enabled, but not the others, Mail launched and I had the spinning beach ball for about 30 seconds, then it worked fine.
However, after I got it working, and I was thinking I'd call IT at work, I tried again, enabling the other accounts (from inside Mail), and it worked fine.
I'm thinking unchecking all accounts from System Preferences. then re-enabling, did the trick. But everything else probably helped as well.
For what it's worth.

Language preference won't revert back on e-mails and texts

I changed my language preference to French under settings/general/language&region, to test a French app and later reverted back to English. This somehow has affected my e-mails and texts and now my e-mails and texts language (spell check) is french. I've verified the language setting and it is English . . .Apple support wants to charge me $35.00 for the priviledge of telling them they have defects in their product.
Any help here would be appreciated.

spellcheck is determined by the keyboard setting (not language). Tap the globe key and switch to English. Or go to settings/general/keyboard/keyboards and delete the French keyboard which was probably added when you played with the French language preference.

IPhone 4 Will Not Back Up, Apple Mail taking up room

I am unable to back up my iPhone 4 to iCloud (free storage plan) because it said that I have too many things to back up and there is no room in my iCloud account. I do not use the standard Apple Mail app, yet my phone is telling me that it is storing mail in my iCloud. I just cleared my backups to see it would start a new backup, but it is telling me I have more data to store than I actually have. I really do not use my phone for anything other than pictures, calendars, and the address book, in addition to Safari.
What should I do?

You only have 5 gb of free iCloud you must have alot of pictures on your phone. Try editing what it is backing up here is a way to set this:
>Settings
>iCloud
For the mail try this
once you are to icloud settings:
>Go to mail near the top and turn it off.
or
>Documents and data
>Off

User preferences reverted back to default - mail gone

Preferences seem to have gone back to default. I have only 1 user account on my mac. All bookmarks, mail account details, appearence etc have all reverted. The only thing that I have done today that was out of the ordinary was 'organising my fonts' according to Suitcase website - ie deleting/moving unwanted system fonts from various folders. I'm sure I haven't deleted any significant system folders as all my trashed files are still in bin. Any ideas?

OK you can stand down - problem over! Had a chat with those nice people from Customer Care - turned out I had accidentally moved my User Library folder into somewhere else. Hence the OS created a whole new Libray folder with default preference...Duh!
Best way to find out if you have done this is run a search on one of the files within Library and it will show up in 2 places - just replace the newly created folder with the moved one.

Can lost gmails be easily put back into apple mail?

My 4.5 year old hard drive crashed (no back up since Jan. 2013). I use gmail but lost Jan-July 9 emails from macbook. Must I go to gmail and resend each email I want individually or is there a better way?

I am in the same predicament. My computer crashed and windows was destroyed. Windows has been reinstalled and my files were retrieved and stored in a backup harddrive. I also lost itunes and have reinstalled it but I have no music in my library and can't find my complete library in my retrieved files. I need to find out how to restore my itunes library from my ipod as well. I don't want to lose all my music on the ipod if I sync with itunes that has an empty library.

Is it possible to revert back to Mavericks mail?

I am either too stupid or Yosemite's mail does not work the way I'm accustomed to. In all previous iterations you select as many individual addressee's as you wanted and place them in the address heading. I have not found a way to do that in Yosemite. You must choose them individually and place in the address header one at a time. That ***. I know about groups but that is not a good avenue as many of my emails go to random people depending on content. If the above is not possible do have an email you reccomend that would let me send to multiple addressees in one operation. I do not use Gmail, Yahoo, etc. . . My email is from 3rd party provider.
Thank you,
Jim B.

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
I had not realised that way was an option (the is a similar blue + in Messages that I am more familiar with which has always been one person at a time)
As you say no usual Modifier keys seems to work for Multiple selection.

Apple Mail and Gmail IMAP

With the iPhone coming to Verizon soon, I'd like to move back to Apple Mail from Gmail, but still want to keep Gmail as my source because my domain is setup with Google Apps but mostly because of the unparalleled spam filtering Gmail has. My problem is that even though I've configured Apple Mail exactly as Google recommends (shown below), I still have some issues.
From the Mail menu, click Preferences > *Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors*
Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > *do NOT check*
Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > *do NOT check*
Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > *do NOT check*
Store deleted messages on the server > *do NOT check*
I want to have true IMAP functionality here, but I'm not getting it. Sent messages work fine...if I send a message, it shows up in Apple Mail in the Sent folder and when I go to Gmail it is also in the Sent folder. BUT...when I delete a message in Apple Mail it goes to the Gmail *All Mail* folder (in Apple Mail and Gmail) and never shows up in the Gmail Trash on either Apple Mail or Gmail...where it should. I've tried changing the settings under *Apple Mail > Trash* but that doesn't fix the problem.
I realize some of you might be inclined to say "It's Google problem...ask there" but I'm hoping a Gmail user here might have had this same issue before. Even as a dedicated Apple person for many years, I still can't give up Gmail and their spam filtering that Apple Mail can't come close to. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, Andy. I should have posted a closure statement on this thread as I finally figured everything out. The most frustrating thing is Google's own advice at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892# couldn't further from correct. After many hours of experimenting with settings, I finally came up with the correct ones. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about it since there is simply no definitive guidance on the web that I've been able to find in the time I've searched.
Your comments are on target...everything on the *Behaviors Tab* needs to be checked (excepts Notes) and the *Delete when* settings must be set to Never. But there are a few other things that must be done, including some changes on Gmail Settings before Mail and Gmail will be perfectly synchronous. I'll post the entire solution on this forum when I finish the graphics.

Why is email disappearing from my inbox in Apple mail?

I will open an email, read it then close Mail, or not. Either way, when I go back to Apple Mail to re-read the message it is gone. I've lost an extremely important message. I've searched Junk and trash, all of my accounts and the message is gone. This has happened with email coming from several sources.

Craig,
Where did you find this?
Is Settings the same as Mail Preferences?
I cant find the "Mail Days to Sync" option.

Trying to import older .mbox files into Apple mail

I have been trying to import older .mbox files back into Apple mail over an hour.
No matter what I use in the import window, nothing seems to work.
If it imports it sends it to the mail downloads folder but nothing from that point on.
I can read text in TextEdit but it's all running together.
OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard

I noticed on the left side way down past my last mail box folder ( long list) for the import .mbox files.
Seems they were hidden !

Apple Mail recovery / rebuild

Hi guys,
In desperate need of help here!
I've searched the internet pretty extensively but haven't found anything that solves the problem I'm having.
I was hoping to delete some RSS news feeds in my setup as they have been a nuisance to keep up with.
I thought I right clicked and deleted the rss feed, however on closer inspection when coming back to my computer later, I realised my whole inbox was gone and I must have had the wrong folder selected.
I checked the trash, undo etc. however they were pretty solidly deleted.
I resorted to Data Rescue 2 at first, however this only pulled up .mbox files which contained nothing like the amount of data I had deleted.
After a bit more research on the net, I understood that I needed to recover .emlx files which Data Rescue does not have the ability to do.
I switched to File Salvage, which after a good dozen hours or scanning, managed to recover approximately 10,000 .emlx files.
Looking at these files individually in TextWrangler, I can see that they are indeed the correct files, but obviously I need them back in Mail so that they're of use to be searched etc.
Now this is where the trouble starts...
I've tried to place these .emlx files back in the messages folder of the MBOX that I had emptied by mistake in the first place.
I've then selected to rebuild the mail box.
After a short time rebuilding, some messages become listed in the inbox, however they are completely blank. No subject, no content and no headers.
If I now go straight to the newly modified/updated .emlx files in the messages folder in the MBOX and open them up in TextWrangler, their content is as below for example (see bottom of post - it seems like it's only converted a few lines).
I really need to rebuild these emails properly as they contain all my company receipts and other typical important information for accounts etc. Really hoping someone on here might be able to help guide me please!
Regards,
Alan

I've managed to get somewhere with this, but really not the way I wanted.
As I've had no luck importing the emails to Apple Mail, I read an article saying that you could rename the .EMLX files to .EML files and drop them into Entourage.
Entourage has managed to read them okay. It's taking forever to drop them in, and the moment I'm doing them in batches of 1000 each. Probably about 20 mins per batch.
Ideally I'll find some way of exporting these when all done, and get them back into Apple Mail.
I have a feeling that the first two text lines in the email files I recovered were slightly corrupt.
In new .emlx files I've received, the top looks like this...
25695
X-Eon-Dm: dm0216
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from badger07001.apple.com (17.254.6.168 [17.254.6.168])
However in the recovered .emlx files, they look like this (with the first two lines slightly corrupt)...
-Eon-Dm: dm0218
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from badger07001.apple.com (17.254.6.168 [17.254.6.168])
I have a feeling this is where Apple Mail may be failing to interperet the files and deciding they are blank.
If it's not this causing it, then maybe Mail is not coping rebuilding the message folder with the existing Mail preferences.
I'll try importing the messages to Apple Mail on a fresh new user account and see if that solves anything.

PCs on Mac OSX Server use what to access Apple Mail?

Sorry for this simplistic question, but I couldn't find an answer in searching the forums.
We are considering installing Snow Leopard Server Mini for our small office. We are roughly half and half Macs and PCs, but very heavy now with iPhones and iPads. We are using Outlook on the Macs and PCs and on some of the iPads and iPhones as well. Outlook is set to access and download from an externally hosted email server.
I would like to eliminate Outlook and get everyone using Apple services on the back end - Apple Mail, iCal, Messages, etc. (This will be especially useful when Mountain Lion Mac and Server rolls out).
The question is, can a PC user access these services to replace Outlook in some native, non-Outlook PC way? Or is Outlook the best solution, since they're familiar with it and provided I can solve the technical issues? I would think that for Mail, I would point Outlook to our internal mail services, instead of the external one we're using now. But what about calendar? What about messaging?
In short how best can a PC be pointed to the OS X-provided services that the Mac users will be using?
Thank you for any help...

You really can't do this with Apple's server groupware. They are designed to work with Apple products almost exclusively. While mail supports standards like IMAP and POP, iCal server is CalDAV and address book is CardDAV. These are not supported natively in Outlook. Look here http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html for client options but you will likely not find much that will do what you are looking for. Or your client changes will be so drastic that your users will hate you.
If you are adamant on replacing Outlook, research Kerio. But realize that you are going from a hosted solution that is presumably redundant to an internal solution hosted on Apple hardware that is as far from redundant as can be. If you have regulatory or compliance issues that require self-hosting, then Kerio is the way to go as it will work on both platforms and emulates Exchange.
And by the way, Exchange support for OS X and iOS is really pretty good. There is nothing wrong with Exchange, except the price.

Apple Mail Welcome Page suddenly appeared

We had a blackout last night - (lasted about five minutes) - and upon rebooting Apple Mail is now "Welcoming" me to set up my email accounts. They've been set up for 9 years.
How do I get access back to Apple Mail? There are six separate email accounts.
I don't want to go into time machine and drag com.apple.mail.plist into the library/prefs/ until I know I won't accidentally erase anything. And if that is the answer, do I take the latest one? Or one prior to the blackout? And exactly where to I put it?
I ran disk utility, repaired disk and prefs and nothing changed. Running 10.7 and planning on two upgrades in the future...
Thanks for your advice in advance.

TS3276 Apple Mail Welcome Page suddenly has appeared

We had a blackout two nights ago now, and upon rebooting Apple Mail, it is now "Welcoming" me to set up my email accounts. They've been set up for 9 years. How do I get access back to Apple Mail? There are six separate email accounts.
I have read that I can move com.apple.mail.plist out of the Library and see if Apple mail rebuilds it. I also have time machine backups where I assume I could restore the mail.plist (and I assume one prior to the blackout as close as I can), but I don't want to go into time machine and drag com.apple.mail.plist into the library/prefs/ until I know I won't accidentally erase anything or emails.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
