Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

Hi,
I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows.
Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010.
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
Base on the research ,
We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
using Outlook.
===========
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
1.Type
regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
2.Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely
Rex Zhang

Transfer emails from Outlook Express to Mail ?

Hi, I've been using Outlook Express on a PC for years for my emailing and internet etc, now I'd like to transfer the lot to Mail on my G4 (which was used as my workstation). So far I've had no joy in transferring my email archives, is it do-able ?

See if this is any help:
Kappy recommends a cheap (US$10) utility called Outlook2Mac which converts your proprietary Outlook files into mbox interchange format. See the discussion thread for a link to the web site.

Rescuing deleted emails from Outlook Express 5 mac vers

Dear Forum
I would be grateful if anyone could cast some light on the following puzzle. I am trying to retrieve deleted emails from Microsoft Outlook Express 5 Macintosh edition (vers 5.02 2022) running on a G4. Using Data Recovery 2, I have uncovered two databases that hold the information, but I am unable to open them in Outlook or other programs. Is it something to do with 'End of file' as a friend suggested? I have tried importing them as my default database to no avail. When they were opened as raw text, there are definitely email addresses and parts of emails embedded in there, but nothing I can use. I desperately need to access these mails so that I can take an ex-client, who still owes me money, to court.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanking you for your help.
Kind regards
Chilliman2

Hi, chilliman2 -
There is one other option. You can use BBEdit Lite to open the message and database files. This utility will display all the text in most any file, including many damaged ones that otherwise can not be opened. BBEdit Lite is free -
BBEdit Lite
Although the SFGet window, opened via the Open command in the File menu, will not display the OE files as openable files, they can be opened by dropping them onto the icon for BBEdit Lite (just confirmed that to make sure).
The bad news - you would need to search through the file to find the section for any specific email message, then copy that portion to another file for printing. This can take a lot of work if the file is large.
The good news - even the usually non-visible header info for each message is included in the Messages file, and is shown in BBEdit Lite.
Whether this result will be suitable for your purposes is a different issue.

Transfering emails from outlook express to mac

Hi All,
First, I did search for this, but didnt find any info.
I have hundreds of emails saved in outlook express on my windows XP machine that I would like to transfer to my new macbook pro. Is there a way to do this?

you can just import it, file->import mailboxes
IIRC that will pull it, never tried it on my own stuff though so im not sure how much and of what it pulls

Transfer emails from Outlook on PC to Mac with OS10.4.7?

Can anyone help me with this? I actually have 2 problems here (I'm helping a friend move to Mac from PC).
1. How can I transfer emails from Outlook on a PC (with Windows XP) to a Mac Mini Intel Core Duo running OSX 10.4.7? There are a LOT of mails - one mailbox has over 4,000 emails - but I didn't think that would make a difference. All are POP accounts.
2. I have made one attempt whcih took hours to achioeve then on the last mailbox import Mail, showing in the Mail sidebar all the new mailboxes I'd created with their mails in them, suddenly lost the lot! I can't find any of the mails I've imported anywhere in the computer now, not even in Home> Library> Mail> Mailboxes. Where could they have gone? Renamed? Moved of their own accord? Deleted without asking? Made invisible?
Does Apple Mail have a limit to the number of mailboxes it can handle? Or the number of emails?
Many thanks for any help on this.

Microsoft does not make this process an easy one even when trying to switch from Outlook to another non-Microsoft Windows email client.
I'm not sure how the first import process worked in the first place since the Mail.app import mailbox feature is not compatible with Microsoft's proprietary/closed Outlook message/mailbox storage process.
There is a program called O2M (formally called Outlook2Mac) which can be downloaded and purchased for $10 at this link.

Moving emails from outlook express to mail

is there a way to get all of my old emails from outlook express to mail? My old PC is about to die and then I'll loose all of my emails :s that is why I am wondering if there is a solution, now.

I don't know whether you can do this on a PC version of Outlook Express or not, but I know that you can do stuff like this with Apple's Mail, so it may be worth a shot to try this and see if it works.
First off, I am assuming that all this old mail is a POP account, and not IMAP. If it were IMAP, it would all be safe on your email account provider's IMAP server and all you would have to do is create the new account in Apple Mail and the first time you connected, it would autosync with the server and all your old mail would just be there. But if POP, all mail is downloaded to your computer then deleted from the server. So, assuming this to be a POP account, here is what I would try to do if I were you.
1. Go to http://webmail.aol.com and sign up for a new free IMAP email account from AOL. You could get a free gmail account if you wanted, too, but I believe there is a bit of extra configuration involved in making it a IMAP and not POP. AOL is IMAP by default. Plus, AOL is a built-in new-account setup option in Apple Mail.
2. On the PC in Outlook Express, add a new account for your new AOL email account. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883081 to find out all the particulars about account settings and how to do it in Outlook Express.
3. On the Mac in Apple Mail, as stated in #1 above, AOL Mail is one of the options when creating a new account. Just follow Mail's "new account wizard" to create your AOL account there.
4. On the Mac, create a second new account for your existing POP account. Mirror the individual mail folder layout that are on your old PC for the old POP account.
5. This is the part that I don't know if PC Outlook Express will let you do, but I know that Apple Mail does:
(a) Open each of your mail folders in the old POP account stored on your dying hard drive one at a time
(b) Highlight/select all the messages in that folder
(c) Drag them to the AOL inbox. In Apple Mail, they would be copied to the IMAP server, preserving all the original "From" and "Date Received" and other information like that.
6. On the Mac, drag the messages that you uploaded into the AOL inbox and drop them into the appropriate folder of the "legacy" POP account that you created in #4. That will clear them out of the AOL inbox and they will now be stored on your computer as downloaded popmails.
7. Go back to step #5 and repeat this process for each of your folders on the old PC until you have emptied all the messages off your old computer.
Now, I will have to issue a disclaimer that I have only done this myself from IMAP to IMAP and to/from IMAP from/to "On My Mac" folders, which keeps copies of messages locally but not on IMAP servers. So I have no reason to suspect that this would not apply equally to POP since it worked with "On My Mac" folders. And whether the PC's Outlook Express will support the POP-to-IMAP drag-and-drop is a total unknown to me.
I'm sure I'll hear back via this forum whether this worked or not, but it's the best idea that I can come up with, and like I said, a similar (but not identical) situation worked for me before.

Transfer mail from Outlook express 6 on Windows XP to Mail on iMac

I want to transfer mail from Outlook express 6 running under Windows XP to Mail on a Macbook Pro running Tiger.
I have a network set up and can access the outlook identities, but neither Entourage nor Mail will recognise the entities when I try to use the import function. I suppose they are looking for outlook express 5 which runs on Mac OS 9.
Is there a way to do this. I would think that if Apple is keen for people to move over to Mac, this would be an area which will be a concern to a lot of people.
Thanks
Abel

Transfer emails from Outlook to CRM

Thanks
Merav

Hi Merav,
Sure. You can use either Agent Inbox workflow or ERMS workflow to route the email to a specific Org.Unit, so that the agents can view the emails in their Agent Inbox.
For More details about Agent Inbox, please refer to the below link from SAP Help Portal:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/22e6e9ed6c5872e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm]
And regarding ERMS, you can configure a ERMS Rule to Route the incoming email to a Specific Org/Position, based upon some condition.
For More details about ERMS, please refer to the below link from SAP Help Portal:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/1c4dd9f3ec5873e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm]
Hope this information helps.

Can't import emails from outlook express into mail

Just bought a macbook, I'm new into MAC, I'm a MAC ROOKIE. I'm trying to import my email from my microsoft outlook express to my MAC MAIL, I followed the instructions to import from outlook but when I locate the outlook files for my emails (they have extension .dbx but it won't let me select the files. Besides in the outlook folder there are dozens of files (1 per email subfolder). What am I doing wrong that I can't import the emails, nor the address book?
Thxs!!!
Avecesar

Pay attention to the information Mail displays during the import process. It could be that it wants you to select the folder that contains the files to be imported, rather than the files themselves.
EDITED: Now that I've read your post again, I don't think you're going to be able to do this on your MacBook, as importing from Outlook Express requires that application to be running in the "Classic" environment, which isn't available for Intel-based Macs.
Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how importing from Outlook Express is supposed to work, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

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. :)
