Windows Live to Mac

I am about to buy a Mac Laptop and I am wondering if I can transfer all my emails and contacts from my old laptop to my new easily without downloading any suspect programs?
Perhaps just by using the import function on the Mac if there is one.
Can someone please provide me with a step by step?
Ive already backed up all my emails and contacts onto my external so is it just a matter on importing it into the email program that will come on the Mac?
Thank You

It should work just fine. See this Apple Support Document for additional details on importing CSV files.

Let us know if you have any additional problems or questions.

How do I set up Windows Live in Mac Mail??

I'm trying to redirerect my Windows Live e-mail account to my Mac mail app, as I have done with my gmail account. Is this possible?? If so, could someone please explain HOW. I've been getting really frustrated with this. **** windoze!

Does Windows Live give POP access?
Older Hotmail accounts would work if you installed the HttpMail Plugin. But if you're account is new (less than a few years old) it may not.

Do you copyemail from a PC running windows live mail? I have attempted to use Thunderbird and was successful in converting the live mail files to Mbox format but when I tried to import these files to the Mac only one message from each file was shown.

I am having a problem trying to migrate some old email messages from a PC running Windows live mail.
I downloaded Thunderbird to the PC and imported the email messages and folders into Thunderbird and was able to create Mbox files for all the folders and messages. I copied these files to a usb stick and then tried to export the folders and messages to my iMac running Lion. It appeared to copy the folders to the Mac but only one message per folder was placed on the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed to copy these email messages over? Thanks.

Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

(If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this question elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)
Because there is no other response.

Does anyone recommend a program i can install so i can still contact my windows live messenger contacts without compromising my mac?

Hi out there,
I am the proud new owner of a macbook pro and am lovin it! I used to talk with family and friends on windows live messenger but am not sure whether to download the mac version at microsoft incase of compromising the system and unfortunately IChat doesn't work with messenger contacts. Does anyone have any advise on the mac version of messenger or is there an alternative program that i can download which may work better? Thanks to anyone who may be able to advise me.

Hi
Welcome to the Mac world! You can certainly download Messenger - there's no reason it should compromise your system. You could also look at Adium, which is MSN-compatible.

Migration from Windows Live mail to Mac mail

Hello Friends,
Please try and help me out as need a solution desperatly.
At present, I am using Windows live mail and intend to move from Microsoft to Mac. I have got many emails on my server host which would be easy to migrate as per the normal procedure. But I have archived most of my emails. I have created few additional folders and moved the emails from the server inbox to these respective folders. But those has been saved on the hard drive of the computer and not on the server.
I have been using windows live mail for 2 yrs and have got a lot of emails in these archived folders and is very systematic. I tried speaking to Apple guys at their outlets but never got a comcrete answer for the migration where by these folders will remain as it is and wont get jumbled. One of their staff said, it is not possible as emails will get under one folder and wont be as what is intially but as a result I will lose all the hard work.
I am trying to give as much information so I can get a solution to it. I even tried to speak to the server host but they said I have to create individual folders and mose th foldres again which is a very tedious process.
Kindly get me a solution.
Regards,
Jaideep

Hello,
Many thanks for the reply.
I am using Windows Live mail on my Microsoft pc. And Mac air will be latest so i think it is Mac mail.
I am only more concerned of my saved folders and its email contenets. Someone said I need to transfer it back to my server and then if I migrate all of it will get transferred. Is it correct or some other solution.

Windows Live Mail and Mac Mail

Hi,
I have Windows Live Mail up and running nicely through Mac Mail (I have just switched from PC to Mac). However I'm wondering what's the right way to sync them fully. I mostly access email through Mac Mail now but whenever I need to access Hotmail through the web, all the msgs I have read or deleted earlier are still showing as unread.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Helen

I see no one else has answered so I’ll try to get the ball rolling and maybe others will chime in.
First, I am not familiar with Windows Live Mail so I can’t guarantee to give directions to get you there from here but I’m sure there is a way. Some Googling found these paths:

Move email files from windows live mail to office for mac outlook

I would like to move all my Email data from MS Windows live mail to MS Office for Mac Outlook. Can it b done??

OK.
Your provider supports IMAP and POP, so, easy way first.
Go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and enter the ntlworld account, SMTP for sending and IMAP for receiving (use 'other' as the account type), this will activate the account on the Mac and (depending on how set up on the PC) either sync all of the mail, or only the new mail. Post back and tell me which.
