Windows mail address import

can't import contacts from windows mail...only choice is outlook express...thanks!

Me too (but 5800).
What's really annoying me is that I managed it when I got the phone but have since had to reset the phone, lost all contacts and now can't get them back.

Imported windows mail addresses will not enter address boxes in Thunbderbird mail

Another follow up comment to my initial problem with imported windows mail addresses. I had a couple of g mail addresses in my WAB and they will go to the address lines O.K., but none of the Windows mail addresses will function properly.

Switching from Windows Mail to either Mac Mail.app or Mac Outlook (help!)

Hello,
My wife has been using Windows since forever but I'll be getting her a new Mac next week. I've been using Macs since the Mac Plus so I'm comfortable with her making the switch. The one main question I have is about her email.
I registered a domain for her a number of years ago (she uses POP3) and she uses that domain for her email. She currently uses the basic Windows Mail application (not Outlook). She has a large number of emails filed away into a ton of nested folders in Windows Mail.
I'm debating if I should have her use the Mac's Mail app or if I should but Outlook for Mac for her (part of the Mac Office suite). A few questions:
If I have her use the Mac's Mail app, is there a way for me to export all of her contacts and emails from Windows Mail (including the way all of her emails are organized into folders) and then import those into the Mac's Mail app? (and Contacts)
Does the Mac's Mail app support a lot of folders, nested multiple levels deep? The last time I checked (a number of years ago) it seemed like nested folders to organize downloaded emails was an afterthought at that time.
Any idea how I would go about exporting saved emails and contacts from Windows Mail and import them into either Mac Mail or Mac Outlook?
Thanks!

Mail allows for nested folders and complex rules for automatically filing items into these folders as they're downloaded to your local computer.
Any switch in technology can be a little daunting and annoying at times, before you try transferring a lot of sensitive information let her use Mail.app for a week or so and get to know her way around and feel comfortable with the features, then make a decision on how to import old information.
Outlook for mac is a large complex and expensive piece of software, there are other mail options available in the App store if Mail doesn't cut it.
If she wants to try the new program and you don't want to disrupt your POP3 settings on that domain, try a google account.
I'm not sure how Outlook is made available, but there are many Windows emulation programs if she cannot leave some programs behind.

Is there a way to import my yahoo mail address book?

Is there a way to import my yahoo mail address book?

AddressBook shouldn't have any problem with the vCard format - which Yahoo can export to... In fact, I've done this before.
On the Yahoo AddressBook page, click the link for 'Import/Export'
On the next page, in the export section, choose 'vCard single file'
Then in AddressBook, you can simply drag the vCard to the window or go to File>Import>vCards...

Importing e-mail addresses and Address Book info from a Tiger back up drive

HI,
I've upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. How do I import/sync info from Address Book and e-mail address I've been in contact with from the back up drive that I made before the change?
thanks

Greetings,
If you want to import the information from Address Book in Tiger, you must first open Address Book there, then export all your contacts as a single vCard file, and copy the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences.
In Leopard, copy the preferences file to the same location you got it from in Tiger, then launch Address Book and drag & drop the vCard file you made onto the open Address Book window to import all those contacts.

How do I setup my default E~mail address, have tried tool/options window w/ no luck.

I hate to reference microsoft IE8, but they have a default E~mail address that some web sites utilize. So far I have not been able to set-up one on Firefox, the Tool/option/send link does not work for me, nor does the applications window from the above options.

Sorry, but this is getting above my level of experience with Firefox. I use Gmail which is supported, and I never had to dig into it this deep.
Firefox would offer Outlook Express as the first "option", but since Win7 doesn't have Outlook Express as earlier versions of Windows did, that option shows up as Internet Shortcut Shell Extension DLL instead. ''(I get that too, with the "tiny" version of WinXP - ''sans OE'' - I currently use.)'' I have no idea how that Shell Extension DLL works.
The support page that I hyperlinked has this at the bottom: <br />
Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.6 include only Gmail and Yahoo! Mail support by default. You may add other services when they add support for this Firefox feature. <br /> ''I think Mozilla was counting on extension developers "picking up the slack" with an extension or extensions for each web mail service out there. But the way I see it, is that when Mozilla changed the way this works for Firefox 3.5 the few extensions that already did that were broken, and then there wasn't anything users had to use after the changes. IMHO, that was half-finished by Mozilla. They probably should have left that as it was in Firefox 3.0 or 2.0, instead of leaving the "completion" of this feature to 3rd party developers.''
You need to an extension to be able to use MSN or Hotmail. Look for a suitable extension in this AMO search.<br />

Windows Mail - Thunderbird. Online help does not match program. How to Import?

I'm attempting to follow the Thunderbird directions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_switching-from-windows-mail-or-windows-live-mail-to-thunderbird) online for Converting from Windows Mail (Not Live Mail) to Thunderbird. I'm at the Import Step. The instructions say:
"In Thunderbird, go to Tools | ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory | Also from its subdirectories."
Under Tools, there is an Import, but no ImportExport. When the Import option is chosen, it does not allow for a directory location, only what to import (Eveything, Mail, Contacts, etc.) When choosing "Import Everything" and pressing "Next" nothing is in the list to import. The "Next" button does nothing and the Cancel Button cancels the entire Import.
Can someone explain (or point to a current and accurate article on) how to import all mail (with local mailboxes and file structures kept intact).
Thanks.

In the first paragraph of the section "Importing Windows Mail Messages", it states you must download and install the ImportExportTools add-on. Once installed, the relevant menu options will appear in TB.

Trying to import Windows Mail into Thunderbird.

FAQ says to use Tools|Import/export|Import all messages from a directory. All I get is Import and nothing else. No Import/Export etc. When I proceed, only options are form Eudora, Outlook and Outlook Express and no Windows Mail. Picked OE but doesn't work. I exported WinMail .eml files to a new directory for selection.

Windows Mail app in LAN-Network "e-mail address not available"

Hello,
I have a Problem with the Windows Mail app at Windows 8.1. Everything works normally at home, but when I try to update mails at university I get the message "e-mail address not available", but Hotmail works fine. I have four more addresses synced,
none of these is updated while I am logged in at university.
So when I start my computer, I have to log in in the University network via IE, there is also a timeout after an hour or so.
I have to go access my mails in the browser, but that is quite bothersome with four e-mail addresses.
Anyone who has an idea how to solve this?
UPDATE: OneDrive does also not sync. It says all Files are up to date, but there are not. If I try to download files via Onedrive App, I get the error message "Currently, the file can't be opened. An Error ocurred with OneDrive."

Hi,
How about your problem now? Is your Mail APP still works properly in your home? According to your description, it's should your School network problem. Is your IE enabled any network Proxy when you using it at school?

Import Windows Mail Folders

I have been using Windows Mail on my pc. I am disappointed that Apple products don't support the concept of filing mail messages in category files. I want to import the same mail folders that are used on my PC on to both an iPad and iPhone 4S. How do I do it?

Do you mean supporting mail folders, or categories? Apple's iOS Mail app supports creating email mailboxes or folders stored on the server with an IMAP or Exchange account.
If the email account is an IMAP account, you can store these mailboxes/folders on the server. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

Import/export - Windows Mail to Mac Mail

Does anyone know a way to import Windows Mail mailboxes in Mac Mail.
I managed to import Windows Mail in Thunderbird, but when I export them to mbox it seems like Thunderbirds is only exporting one mail from each mailbox.
Is this the only way to Export/Import from Windows to Mac Mail, and what am I doing wrong?
It's important to say that Windows Mail and Windows Outlook/Outlook Express is not the same thing. I'm using Windows Mail.

HT4489 How do I import contacts from Windows Mail?

I tried exporting my contacts (in Windows Mail) in Business card format, then importing those contacts as a Vcard (in Windows iCloud) but all I get is an error message " can't read the Vcard". ???

The vCard format is not compatible. You'll probably have to do something like import them to Google contacts, then export an vCard from Google that's compatible with iCloud.

Windows 10 reservation with one e-mail address on different devices?

I would say you can based on this information
"In order to register your install of Windows 10 an activation code will be created to uniquely identify your system. This is likely going to be some type of a hash code based on your unique system hardware configuration. It will probably use a combination of individual hardware ID’s for multiple items in your system like the hard drive, network card, video card. motherboard and possibly your Microsoft account to build this unique identifier."
http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/could-your-microsoft-account-and-windows-10-activation-be-connect...

Dear colleagues,
I`m reading different posts for reserving and getting the new Windows 10 OS, but one thing is missing for me. If I have several laptops and home workstations, all running Windows 7 Ultimate / Windows 8.1 Pro, can I reserve a copy for each of this devices using one and the same mail address. The reservation will be made on every device.
Please apologise me if this info is written in this forum, i just can`t find it.
