Transferring saved messages from a Windows Outlook Express

Hi
Can anyone tell me if there is any way to transfer my emails that I saved in Outlook Express in my old PC to a local folder in Mail?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Jimbo

The really easy way to import mail from Outlook Express, Outlook, or any number of other email programs is to set up a.mac account (IMAP) on your Apple computer, close the program, then set up your IMAP .mac account in Outlook Express (be sure to download and show IMAP folders in Outlook Express or Outlook) on your old computer. Then from OE, simply drag and drop all your email (or folders for that matter) into the appropriate folder in the IMAP folder list, which will be displayed below the regular OE folders. Then, close OE or Outlook, and go to your Apple computer and open Mail---all your email will be in the IMAP folders just where you moved them.
The important concept in this is that you have to use an IMAP account to transfer the email (Mail and .mac, but there is a 60-day free trial so it doesn't cost anything, or, use another IMAP account, any one will do).
I do this all the time because I have to work from different computers on the same accounts and files, and everything has to be in sync. It's easy, doesn't cost anything, and everything always gets transfered, as opposed to the sometime failures of transfer programs.

I want to use my new Imac.....

Disk storage issues frequently happen if the hard disc is over 85% full. Make sure your trash can is emptied after backing up any files you want to keep elsewhere.

I transferred PPT files from a windows based pc (microsoft PPT 2003), at first my macbook was able to run all animations in file, after some time it stopped running it, partly because i "switched on" something since this is my first time to use a mac ?

i transferred PPT files from a windows based laptop to my macbook, at first it was able to run the animations in the file no problem, its my first time to use a mac also bythe way, so i started downloading freebies like the VLC, FLIP4MAC, and other plug-in players, would it be because of this downloads that my mac now cannot seem to run the powerpoint animations any more ?

I don't think vlc would affect powerpoint. What were those "other plug-in players" you downloaded?
I'm not that familiar with powerpoint so how are those animations played? Are they windows media player files? If so then flip4mac might affect them.

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
Make a backup in iTunes
open iBackupBot (Google it)
Go to the relevant backup
Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete. You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is.
Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
Then just restore that backup using iTunes!
Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments!
P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

Can't properly Import messages from WLM to Outlook 2010

I have installed windows 7 ultimate (32 bit) edition in my system, also I installed MS Office 2010 Professional Plus.
I used Outlook Express as my email client for last 10 years, and hence I have huge mail storage to import to Windows7. I’ve decided to use Outlook as my email client now on.
I have successfully imported all my OE messages to Windows Live Mail in my Windows7 system, and now I want to import them to Outlook2010. But when I try to import them from Outlook – it can’t see any messages to import. And when I export it from
WLM, most of the (but NOT all) messages exported to Outlook, but when I open the exported messages from Outlook I see the ‘Internet headers’ are blank for all the messages.
I am digging my head for last 1 week to resolve this issue but found no fix, can anyone help me please!
Thanks in advance.

You need to export from WLM and yes, the headers will be blank. If you have an old computer with OE on it, you can export to Outlook then move the pst to the new computer.
Diane, I just purchased Outlook 2010 and have a serious issue with losing the header information when exporting data from
Windows Mail. It seems that Microsoft recently fixed this problem (partially) which I found referenced on a different site. I went to the control panel (I'm using Vista), and ran Windows Update. After updating both the Important and the Optional items, I went
into Outlook 2010 and imported my mail and contacts from Windows Mail. The header information does now import correctly. However, in WM there is a column which shows you from which of your accounts an email arrived. In Outlook it's called "Category". This
information remains lost after the migration, and the entire column is empty (though new emails that are downloaded do get tagged properly). Can you tell me how to re-import my messages without losing this information? Would using your workaround of importing
the files into an earlier version of Outlook solve this problem? If so, which version should I use?

How can I delete saved messages from my iphone 5s to be able to update it?

I have needed to update my Iphone 5s from the past 2 updates but it says that I have 4.2 GB of saved messages. I don't know where to go to delete them. I delete regular messages from my phone daily so I'm not sure what is being saved and where.
Thanks!

You would need to set up your mail account as a POP account instead of IMAP.
I'm not sure if Hotmail/msn offers that -

Importing Windows Outlook Express address book

Hello
I have been trying to import an Outlook Express address book (which is stored on a DVD) to MS Entourage with not much luck
I can't seem to find an 'option' to import an external address book.
The only options available seem to be to import Entourage docs/archives etc.
Can anyone help?

I've been looking into this myself and there are a number of possibilities. You can't just import an address book but importing all your contacts can be done. Search discussions here for the topic (the Mail and Address Book forum has stuff on getting contacts out of Outlook) and also Google the web, there are several threads elsewhere. There are even shareware utilities to help.
Also look under Mac 101: Shifting From PC in the Support section here. Apple has a little bit to say on it, although not terribly helpful to me.

When launching and opening tabs from links in outlook express not all tabs appear

Since upgrading to Firefox 21 when I click on links in emails in Outlook Express not all the links open new tabs, but when I attempt to close Firefox it says there are more tabs open than are being displayed. Firefox also becomes sluggish to non-responsive during these "evolutions". If I open Firefox first before clicking links in emails it does not display this behavior.

The DDE fix does not appear to address the same problem I'm having. I receive no error windows or indications of any kind, the tabs just never appear, yet when I close firefox it will ask me if I want to close all "X" tabs ( and X appears to equal the number of tabs I tried to open).

Transferring email messages from 10.4.11 on PowerPC to 10.8.5 Intel

Can I import all my old email messages from the old iMac G4 running 10.4.11 to my new iMac running 10.8.5? On http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US, Apple says:
"Note: Copying any data files from your user Library folder to the new computer could have unexpected results."
So is there any way I can move the messages to the new iMac and still be able to read them? At the very least, I'd like to import all the email addresses I've sent to and received from. I know I can't use Migration Assistant.
I also have a MacBook (Intel) running 10.6.8. Would it work any better to transfer to that machine first, then to the iMac?

Thank you, dianeoforegon. It seems to have worked, though it created a messy folder structure. I just hope I don't get any "unexpected results" later.
You can drag the folders out of the imported folder. If the folder already exists, move the messages into the new folder. If the folder does not exist, drag to the On My Mac header and it will sort the folder alaphabetically.
Now should I just keep the old Mail folder on my desktop? Or can I move it somewhere out of the way? I can't delete it now, can I?
You can delete.
One more question -- it seems that the addresses in the old email messages don't automatically populate the To: field in a new message. Is there any way to get them to do that?
First let's go over the basics....
Mail stores your recipients’ email addresses in the Previous Recipients list. To view, under Window in the Menu bar select Previous Recipients. If the person is in your Address Book, you'll see a small icon next to their name. To add to your Address Book, select “Add to Contacts.” in the bottom right of the window.
Copy your data....
On the old computer,
Open Mail and select all contacts in the Previous Recipients List and select “Add to Address Book".
In the Address Book, select all contacts and drag to a folder on your desktop. This will create a vcf file with all your contacts.
Use the same method you used before to transfer to your new computer. Drag the file to the desktop.
In Contacts (Address Book) select File > Import and navigate to the .vcf file. You'll most likely see a window with "Are you sure you want to import xxx cards" xxx cards are duplicates and will be updated.
You can select to Review Duplicates..., Cancel, Import. I would import, then run Look for Duplicates under Card in the Menu bar.
Going forward, keep your Address Book updated. If you sync to iCloud your contacts will be available on all your devices.

Access saved Messages from j2me ??

My application needs to access saved SMS messages and saved Email messages from the MIDlet and upload them to my server.
is it possible to access the saved SMS messages or the inbox folder even if my Midlet is digitially signed???
i read somewhere that we can only listen to some port on the device for the incoming messages, capture them and then use them according to our application but once the message is stored in the inbox folder there's no way to access that.
is it so ? or is there any way around ?
my application is targeting Blackberry, and palm devices.
For blackberry i am using Blackberry API.
thanks in advance.
