Unusual eMail Question: import raw message content...

I get over 100 email alerts each week that are important to my business that contain about 12 data points that pertain to certain event activity. The up-side is these messages are in the exact same format and content so there is little variation, in fact, you could assume they have fields that are reference-able. I'm interested in using some sort of tool such as FileMaker or Crystal Reports where I can point to the email folder where the *.emlx files exist and have that tool import all of the files then allow me to parse them and report on these 12 fields.
Is this something that someone here has done and if so, what tips can you give me to help me short-circuit the process. I'm not much of a programmer so please keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks in advance...

There are at least 3 or 4 dozen solutions. However, you've asked for a solution that doesn't require programming. I'm afraid your only solution left is to hire a programmer.

Import Raw Message Source

I have a number of emails that have been saved in raw message source. How can I get get Mail to recognize these and import them?

Archiving a Smart Mailbox to a RAW Message Source using Automator?

In MAIL I can set a smart mailbox to say get emails from ("any" recipient contains [email protected])
But in Automator when I use the Filter messages in mail I can't be that broad with my selection, I can only select sender, and not ANY recipient. Be that someone cc'd with that email address, the sender or reciever.
One way around this is allowing Automator to select a Smart Mailbox from MAIL to do the selecting.
But I can't get Automator to select a Smart Mailbox.
What I need to do is take my Smart Mailbox content and every X# of days, for my needs it would be 7 days, export out last X# of days, again for me its 7 days, worth of emails as a RAW Message Source and append it to an existing RAW Message Source file in a specified folder.
Or if appending to an existing file is not possible then create individual files but name them something like, Weekending_10_282006, where the date in file name matches the day the script was run.
Then place this to always run on a Saturday.
I am using this to backup messages for specific projects at work. And I would like to use it to backup emails from my cousin who is serving overseas in Iraq.
Thank you for your help.

Emails in imported mailboxes are void of content

I just got a new MacPro with Leopard. My old G4 was too messed up to use Migration Assistant so I copied all my mailboxes to a drive and then imported them from this drive into my MacPro email. The G4 was running the latest version of Tiger and I was using Mac Mail on both. I see all the emails in the mailboxes but when I click on them, they are empty. There is no content in the emails I imported.
What is the deal with this and why does Mac Mail have to be built into the OS in such a complicated way? I remember when you could easily see your separate iCal Calendars and copy them around easily. Now that's complicated too. Why?

If you actually see the messages displayed in Mail, then perhaps you should rebuild your Mail index like this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file(s).
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages; then check to see if the problem is resolved.

Cannot send email via AOL on iPad2 - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL. She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad. She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version). I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work. The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587. I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. Any advice or other people having this issue? It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail. And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option. Thanks

Interesting. Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website. I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account. Same error. Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result. I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6. AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem. So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone.

Suddenly i am unable to import RAW to Lr4.4. I was able to import just prior to leaving US, but now i receive an error message (if i could update the screenshot, i would)

i have been using Lr for years. No recent changes to my preferences on Lr4.4 or my MacBookPro. When i tried to import RAW while traveling in Vietnam, i receive this error message
"some import operations were not performed"
then there is a list of my import files with the comment "the following files were not imported because they could not be read"
yet i have been importing RAW files from this camera (Canon D5II) for several years.
Thanks in advance for your help

"Could not be read" means that the destination directory, where the photos are supposed to be copied into, does not have WRITE permission.
Change your permissions on that folder.

Questions on Nokia Messaging (uploading sent email...

Hi all,
I have a few questions on Nokia Messaging;
Does it connect to (non-Exchange) email servers via imap idle?
When I send an email, can it be uploaded to the 'Sent' folder in my email server?
When I delete an email from my Nokia, can the email be deleted from the server as well?
Thanks!

Hi,
1) No, even though the specs state otherwise. You may only have it pull Mails every 5 Minutes, or have them pushed using Nokia Messaging Service. Quite some disappointed customers hope this will change in the future, but I don't believe in it, because I feel nokia wants to force one to use their push service.
2) No, at least not automatic. Of course you can sync your sent items folder and manually move your sent messages there from your local(on your phone)sent items folder, but that is not very efficient.
3) Yes
Mort, a happy E71 and not so happy E72 owner/user.

Sending email error with Yahoo: "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

HELP! Why am I getting this error message? It's driving me crazy! When I try to send an email, the message stalls in the outbox and the following message pops up - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I have deleted and reinstalled the account, restarted the phone, etc - what the heck? The emails work just fine at Yahoo online, so the account it fine...I don't want to hard reset the phone, as I had to do that recently and it's a pain - any suggestions?

OR they are the right settings but you are trying to send through a different internet provider or 3G provider, that does not allow that SMTP server to send email.
if I send email from 3g or someone elses wifi on a different ISP, it will not work, because it does not allow that server to be contacted. this is normal.
What you want to do is setup a gmail account and use their SMTP server settings for the defauly outgoing server. that way you dont have to worry about this.

Error 554-5.6.0 Corrupt message content... when sending emails to other users on same exchange server

Hello
I have a very strange problem at a customer from our company.
The problem happens to only one user on the Exchange 2010 organization (SP3, no additional patches installed, Server is 2008 r2).
When this specific user sends an email to one or more users on the same Exchange organization, he gets sometimes (not always) the following error back:
554-5.6.0 Corrupt message content 554 5.6.0 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:ConversionFailedException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message Inhaltskonvertierung: Fehlerhafter TNEF-Zusammenfassungsinhalt. ConversionFailedException:
Inhaltskonvertierung: Fehlerhafter TNEF-Zusammenfassungsinhalt. [Stage: CreateReplay]
So - TNEF, corrupt message Content... I googled the error and checked all the recommended Solutions. The Outlook Client is ok, I have doublechecked it and everything is configured like it has to be.
The Problems happens as above described only for one user when he writes emails to users from one specific Domain on the same Exchange organization (example
[email protected]).
He has this specific contacts in a SharePoint contact list which is connected to his Outlook Client.
Thanks for any help or Information!
Regards

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that one user cannot send message with error “554-5.6.0 Corrupt message content 554 5.6.0”.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm whether it works or not when send message to external address, how about the OWA?
It seems that message has corrupt content. Is there any 3rd prevent software or Anti-Virus software in Exchange 2010?
Regarding this issue, firstly I would like to explain that content conversion occurs in two places, that are the Store Driver and the Content Conversion stage of Categorization. Since the issue exists in the delivery mail of internal user, the agent that was
used in the process of handling by Store Driver may cause this issue.
Please try to enable pipeline tracing and content conversion tracing to get more details about this error, for your reference:

Paypal email message content not found in Mail search

I've looked on the net and can't find any one else reporting this problem so it has to be something at my end.
My Mail search cannot find any word found in the message body of an email from Paypal.
I just upgraded to Yosemite so thought it was a problem with the new OS as I've been able to search message content in OS 10.8 (and previous) for years.
However...
I just re-started using a cloned HD with my old 10.8 OS on it and the search isn't working now.
It finds everything else asked but nothing in a Paypal email.
This includes messages in my inbox and messages stored in various "On My Mac" folders.
I seem to remember this happened before, maybe 2004/2005?? Which ever OS version I was using then?
It couldn't be worked out so I moved over to Microsoft Entourage.
I don't want to switch email software again but the lack of ability to search is causing me some problems.
I did open an Apple support case on this and they couldn't give me an answer but said it had been reported already and may be looked at for a fix in forthcoming OS revisions.
Funny how no one's asked this on any community pages.
Any ideas?? Am I missing something. I don't understand how it's worked on my older OS for years and now suddenly it's stopped.
Does search need anything to find words in content that I may have inadvertently changed?

I have now gone back to my OS 10.8 disc and re-built the folder with my paypal emails in and it is now searching ok so forget what i said earlier.
I'd edit the original post but it won't let me???

Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!). I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help!

NIKON D3300
The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
