Outlook Save Emails To Usb How To Migrate FROM

Mails archived mbox files were readable text files in text-edit, but they were not readable in Eudora when I wanted to import them (greyed out).

I am already receiveing my new emails on Outlook (as on Mail btw).

Is there a way to transfer automatically the folders and emails from Mail to Outlook.

To import an MBOX file into Outlook 2011 for Mac: Copy the.mbox file to your Mac.

A USB flash drive or an external hard drive is probably the easiest way to do that.

On your Mac, in Outlook 2011, select Outlook 2011 - File - Import menu command.

Click on Continue (Right arrow button) Select the MBOX file(s) youd like to import.

You will find the imported mailboxes under ON MY COMPUTER.

Note: If ON MY COMPUTER section is in collapsed mode, click on the triangle next to it to expand it).

After that restart Outlook, and you should be able to select MBOX files in the Import Mail window..html.

I believe that Mail does import from normal mbox files (a single text file containing many emails) but it may not be so easy to export from Apple Mail.

The mbox folders created by Mail 6 are not recognized by Entourage when attempting to follow the instructions given here.

Most of the information I find is about how to migrate FROM Microsoft to Apple Mail, unfortunately.

It is unfortunate that Mail (which is not mbox based) gives its folders mbox extensions.

If you are trying to import to a client which expects mbox files you can use Mails Archive facility to generate mbox files from Mail folders.

The Archive facility produces a folder containing a traditional mbox file and a tableofcontents.

I know nothing about Entourage or Outlook but I would be interested to know if this overcomes your problem.

I have exported all the Mail to this format and tested a mailbox file or two and it worked, so now I will begin the process of working through all of the files in this way.

I want to retain over 10 years of messages and multiple mailboxes in the same directory tree as before, which is a pretty big job.) Perhaps if I were a good programmer I could figure out a script or something to automate the process, but I think Im better off just to go through the repetitions.

I am not sure what you are doing with Word - Mails archived mbox files are already readable text files and if they were not it would be unwise to use a non-clean editor such as Word to play with them.

If I remember correctly some people have found that they get better results by going via an alternative mail client (such as Thunderbird) which has better import and export facilities.

The mail I am exporting is on my computer (originally imported to Mail 6 from Eudora - and then continued to be used to store messages moved from inbox.

The Mail account was set up as an IMAP account in case that makes a difference.

I should have done POP from the start, but I know everyone says IMAP is better (sync multiple devices).

The exported mail does in fact appear with all the folder structure in tact, which is what I want.

You have to be sure to click - export sub-folders - on the export command in Mail.
