icyorange Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi, I'm just going through my PC and backing things up before my iBook arrives next week. Is it possible to export my email from Outlook Express 6 to then import it into Mail when I get my Mac? Which format should I export as?

mihir Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) the best thing might be to get a free imap mail account set it up on outlook, drag&drop the e-mails to the new account. then do the same on your ibook. EDIT: you'll probably beable to get one from fastmail.fm Edited February 6, 2004 by mihir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyorange Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Just missed your edit, signed up with mail15.com who have imap access. I've added it to my mail accounts in Outlook Express, but it's not in my list of folders down the site to drag the messages into - any idea?

danbalsh Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 You can also export your Outlook data to 'mbox' format as Mail can import that no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyorange Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 OK cool, i'll export my Outlook Express email to Outlook, then export from that to mbox format. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icyorange Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Just seen http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...002100306134721, think i'll do that. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbalsh Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yeah, that might do it. I'd have thought Apple would make Mail import Outlook Express from the PC easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I used my .Mac trial to do it, it was really simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
