Switching from Entourage to Mail: use Entourage Groups?

I'm attempting to switch from Entourage to Mail and Address Book (not least because of the attractions of smart folders, etc), but I can't figure out how or if I will be able to send occasional email mailshots to large groups of people.
I run an occasional newsletter in email format. Because the list is very large, it wouldn't make sense to set up individual vCards for each individual email address on the list, and yet that seems to be the only way to email all the members of a group using Mail and Address Book.
With Entourage, on the other hand (and I would dearly love to wave goodbye to it in all other respects) I could set up a Group exactly as I would set up an individual contact, then copy the entire list to it, and could even add occasional new email addresses whenever I liked or delete others as they opted to leave the group.
Am I missing something in Mail / Address Book, or will I have to cut and paste into the To: box my entire long list each time I need to send a mailshot? (And doing that would involve using a word processor or text editor in order to manage the list, which is adding yet another programme to what should be a pretty simple task...)
Many thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

Yes. Importing your mail from Entourage does not affect the Entourage database.

Disasterous email problems since switched from Eudora to Mail

On Feb. 1 I switched my broadband from Clear wireless to Comcast and my email client from Eudora to Mac Mail due to its allowing different port settings for my 2 personal email addresses which are forwarded and my business address which is not. I had occasional problems of not receiving certain emails but not constant. Now I figure about a quarter of my emails incoming and outgoing are disappearing forever without any bounce back messages. I even set up exclusive new email addresses on my server for a couple of my writers, some of whose mail I failed to get. Even one of those emails was lost. My business is threatened. Help!
I have received conflicting advice from AppleCare, Comcast, my hosting firm and others. Neither Comcast nor my hosting co. are filtering anything, according to them. Emails I fail to receive never get to the server - they are supposedly lost somewhere out there. My senders are not blocking mail because most of my msgs and theirs get thru. Lost emails never appear in the Junk folder. I use POP, Authorization, not SSL. My hosting says I should use Port 26 for outgoing; they won't say what to use for incoming. AppleCare says to use Port 110 for outgoing on my personal email addresses and to use the ISP that forwards them for the Incoming: mail.aracnet.com We still use Eudora on the MacBook so it's difficult to compare and test Mail settings.
I'm trying to work with Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to get my Address Book properly copied over. Mac Mail totally wrecked it, but I don't know how to delete that bad import first.

Really appreciate your assistance! My hosting people are being no help at all. I'm very familiar with "edit server list" - have been there often. It is my hosting person who tells me their logs show that none of the various emails I failed to receive on the first sending - for which I expand the headings and forwarded to him - have ever reach their server and therefore something's going wrong "out there" and they're not responsible. He even just suggested I sign up with gmail for my email service since I've been so much trouble to him. I've had an email address on my own server for ten years now - [email protected] - and don't want to change it!
I corrected the terrible instructions I got from AppleCare and reversed my incoming and outgoing server settings to audaud.com for regular email and to mail.aracnet.com SMPT for my two personal email addresses I want to send thru Aracnet. (and am paying them to forward them to the audaud.com server). However, when I just tried to reply to an email I received to [email protected] I got a warning I never saw before: (Thought I could attach a screenshot of it but can't seem to) It says "cannot send the message using the server audaud.com." Yet a few minutes later I sent an email to several of the writers for my site and it was sent. The settings were the same!
My hosting people told me to use Port 26 for sending but they refuse to tell me which port to use for INCOMING mail (using POP). Maybe the port settings are fouling me up, but why do they cause problems only part of the time? I don't use SSL.
Doesn't everyone receive via their email client "all the emails that get to the server?" Again: any directions on deleting the non-working import of the Eudora Address Book and doing it again properly with Eudora Mailbox cleaner?

Problem syncing old emails from Outlook to Mail using Exchange 2010

HI,
I recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Lion Apple Mail. I am set up for email through my comany's exchange server. When I set up Mail, all of my folders showed up on my Mail account successfully but it will only sync back the last 60 days of emails. I know these old emails do reside on the server. Is there potentially a setting on mail to adjust how back it syncs? If not, can someone suggest a work-around. I would only have to do this once.
Thanks

When transferring a locally stored message that was recieved a year ago to a server stored mailbox with an IMAP account - doing this today for example, the recieved date for the message is changed to today's date - at least with an email client used to access the account.

Switching from Entourge to Mail, Address Book and iCal - HELP!

Has anyone out there previously been a fan of Entourage but switched to Mail, Address Book and iCal on Mac? Im consistently disappointed in Entourage and it's database corruptions, but dont want to have to open three apps to do the same thing! Anyone out there made this switch and rectified this dilemma in their minds?
I truly wish the next Mac OS would merge these into one program like Entourage, but until then, any insight?
Thanks!
Kevin

In Mail.app, try pulling down the File menu and select the "import mailboxes" item.

How can I switch from Thunderbird to Mail without losing existing messages?

I began using Thunderbird when I got my first iMac because I had been using it on my Windows PC.
Now I am tired of dealng with the duelling Address Books (the OS X Address Book and the multiple Address Books within Thunderbird).
So, I would like to stop using Thunderbird (and remove it from my iMac), but want to retain all the messages currently in the various Inboxes, Sent boxes, Archives, etc. in Thunderbird...
Is there any easy way to do this? (I know I could save all the messages as files and - presumably - open them with Mail, but there are a lot of messages).

Add a ReplyTo or From in a mail using OLE2 in Forms 6

Hi,
I am doing a form to automatically send mails (I use forms because I do Excel docs using OLE to link them to the mails...). It works but the From and ReplyTo properties.
My code is:
FUNCTION Send_a_mail( Recp IN varchar2,
                                             CopyTo IN varchar2,
                                             CopyHidden IN varchar2,
                                             MailFrom IN varchar2,
     Subject IN varchar2,
     Text IN varchar2,
     Attch IN varchar2,
     dialog IN number ) RETURN NUMBER
IS
objOutlook OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objMail OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objArg OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
objAttach OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
BEGIN
     -- Connect to Outlook
objOutlook := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
     -- Create the Mail
     objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
     objMail := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem',objarg);
     OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
     IF Attch IS NOT NULL THEN
          -- Attach 1 file
          objAttach := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(objmail, 'Attachments');
          objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
          OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg, Attch ); -- filename
          OLE2.INVOKE(objattach, 'Add', objarg);
          OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
     END IF;
     -- Addresses
     IF MailFrom IS NOT NULL THEN
          OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'From',MailFrom);
          OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'ReplyTo',MailFrom);
     END IF;
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To',Recp);
     IF CopyTo IS NOT NULL THEN
          OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Cc',CopyTo);
     END IF;
     IF CopyHidden IS NOT NULL THEN
          OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Bcc',CopyHidden);
     END IF;
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject',Subject);
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'HTMLBody',NVL(Text,' '));
     -- Send
     IF dialog = 1 THEN
          OLE2.INVOKE(objmail, 'Display');
     ELSE
          OLE2.INVOKE(objmail, 'Send');
     END IF;
     -- Free ressources
     OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
     OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
     return 0;
END;
Because I have no docs, I used Bcc, CC... and it works, so I thougth 'From' and 'ReplyTo' should work too, but it doesn't.
Has any one a hint, or the true knowledge of this?
Thanks a lot.
Christian

I think you're goining to have to find some documentation on the Outlook OLE interfaces. I've always found this kind of stuff on msdn.microsoft.com, although google os always up for it...

How do I switch from"Offline Mode" when using Firefox on an android device connected to the internet via Bluetooth.

I have been using my tf300. Everytime I try to open Firefox on the tablet while using a Bluetooth connection, the only screen that Firefox opens is a generic screen displaying "Offline mode". Is there a way to switch it to online mode or am I only able to use the browser on a wifi signal??

I am one of the individuals who use a third-party app to tether internet connection from my phone for my tablet. When using the stock browser, i have no problems, but when i try to use firefox, all the is displayed is an "Offline Mode" screen. This all would not be a problem except for the fact that a bunch of my bookmarks are on Firefox. So how do i switch settings for the pade to be "Online vs. Offline"???

After switch from Outlook to Mail, iPhone won't sync with Address Book

Good morning
Using Lion, I recently dropped Outlook 2011 in favor of Mail (did not uninstall though, do not want to).
My problem is this, iTunes and iPhone won't sync with Address Book, they remain stuck on syncing with the Outlook address book. The issue is only for the address book, the iPhone syncs fine with iCal for some reason.
Please help!
Thanks

Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
I hope this helped you out.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

Switching from PC to Mac - Using External Drives

Hi,
I have Lightroom 5 (Creative Cloud) and currently use a Windows 7 32 bit Laptop and a 1TB external HDD (connected via USB2, designated as my 'G' Drive) that stores my LR Catalogues and the Library of Photos that LR has created. I want to switch to a MacBook pro with 64 Bit OSX. I have looked at other questions on this forum about switching, but I'm concerned that all my current LR catalogues point to this external G drive. I plan to connect my MacBook pro to an external RAID drive via Thunderbolt, which will contain my 'Master' LR5 Catalogues and photo Libraries. My Questions are :
(1) Will I need to designate this drive to be a 'G' Drive - does Mac work that way ? I don't want to have to go through the (prolonged) pain of finding all the photos manually !
(2) How do I ensure that the Windows Hierarchy is 'replicated' on the Mac formatted RAID when it is transferred ? I gather that Macs don't naturally store folders and files in this way. Is there a particular App that facilitates this ?
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Mungo

Switching from windows to mac - using iPhoto

Hello. I recently bought a mac and had the tech.'s switch over all my pictures, every 11,000 of them. I am kind of stuck trying to use iPhoto. A few things I have questions on, such as why all of my photos are dated under "events" and aren't even in synchronized order after clicking "view by ascending date". How should I go about organizing all my pictures? Another thing is why do all the pictures I take on photobooth make it's own ablum in iphoto with one picture in each ablum? I want to be able to save all my photobooth pictures to one photo and have the images I save off the internet not to be stuck in recently added. Help please? thanks.

Switching from Tiscali/Talktalk - is using a MAC s...

I was looking forward to a simple process of moving from talktalk to BT last weekend. Using a MAC number was supposed to ensure that I had no break in my broadband service. Instead, I have not had broadband since 10th September, when my BT broadband service was activated, and BT have to send out an engineer to take a look at the exchange on the 25th as they have no idea why there is a problem as the line seems fine to them from their side.
What is the actual process of moving broadband provider on a non-LLU exchange? Does something have to be physically changed somewhere, or is it all done remotely and electronically? How is the telephone service (which continues to be with BT) separated from the broadband service, and so (thankfully) not messed up as well?
I have just read somewhere that there is such a thing as "tagging" which could mean that BT are being prevented from giving me their broadband service by the line still being identified as carrying the Talktalk service. Would BT automatically have checked for this, or do I need to asked them to do this?
Strangely, Talktalk have also written to me to say that their service will end on the 27th September. Not sure where they got this from, as I understood the termination date is the date the MAC is used an d the BT service is activated (thus the previous service ends). If the MAC number is not used, then the Talktalk service should continue unaffected, I thought. Could it be that I am on a LLU exchange? But how would I know? There was no mention of it anywhere when I started with Tiscali 4 years ago.

Craig, one of the mods, helpfully confirmed that the migration did happen and it is just that there is most likely a problem on the line. Talktalk have also confirmed that my connection with them ended on the 10th and the letter was a mistake - although I wouldn't be surprise mysteriously the problem fixes itself by the end of today (the 27th).
The BT engineer came around on Saturday morning to check our internal lines / connections, and found nothing wrong (apart from there being no connect, of course) but did not check anything at the exchange. Seems rather a pointless visit - didn't BT believe what I was telling them over the telephone? Apparently he went through the same checks I did with the BT support people.
Now an engineer is to take a look at the exchange on Wednesday - at least, I hope they are! What's less costly to BT - sending out an engineer to a customer or sticking an additional task to what must be almost daily visits to the exchange (it supposedly serves 10,000 households)?

Why can't I print anything from my e-mail using Firefox

I am using a HP 8180 All-in-One printer when I try to print something It comes up with a MY Documents and asks me to name it. When I do it doesn't print anyway. Please help if you can!

Hi swenzel,
Can you be a little more descriptive of the problem? You say you "cannot copy it" but don't give any details. There are several methods for copying text like ''Ctrl + C'', right click ''copy'', ''Edit > Copy'' etc. Which method are you trying? When you do try, what happens? Is the option not there? Does the text just not appear when you try to paste it? We need more details to really be of use.
Just a guess, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Groups from Entourage to Mail

I am desperately wanting to switch from using Entourage to Mail (use Mail at home and much prefer it). The thing is that I have a huge address book in Entourage and the addresses are grouped. How do I export them? just don´t have the time to do them individually. Hope someone can help
Thanks

Hi erika,
You should be able to export your contacts from Entourage A/B to your desk top and then drag them straight into Mac A/B.
To make it easy, make sure you have the same groups in Mac A/B that you have in Etour A/B. Then in Etour A/B go to file>export, click on the radio button that says "Items that are in the category:" and choose your category - hit continue. Continue thru the preference choices and save the file (should be a .rge file) to your desktop.
Once saved, just drag that file to your respective/corresponding group in Mac Address book and it should drop right in, giving you a total of the cards/addresses you are importing as confirmation
Good Luck,
John
