Importare in Mail di Mac contatti e mail da PC Outlook Express

[rosruby]

Ho convinto una mia amica a passare a Mac...ha ordinato il nuovo Mac Book, ma adesso le é preso il panico perché teme le difficoltà di passaggio. L'ho rassicurata e le ho promesso di aiutarla, prima di tutto importando dal suo Outlook Express del PC le mail e i contatti su Mail di Mac.

Per prepararmi all'impresa ho fatto la ricerca sul forum, e ci sono svariate e diverse indicazioni, ma fin troppe e tutte un po' datate.

C'é qualcuno che ha affrontato recentemente il problema e sa suggerirmi la via più semplice e adatta ai neofiti? La mia competenza é molto "basic" e apprezzerei un linguaggio altrettanto "basic".

Grazie a chi mi potrà aiutare!

Trovato questo sul web per Outlook Express e le mail

Open Outlook Express on your PC.

Highlight all mail in a folder e.g. "important mail", and drag them into a any folder on your hard drive (ideally - outlook mail/important). Having Outlook run in window mode (not fullscreen) and dragging the mail to a folder on your desktop seems to be the easiest way, because you dont have to switch windows.
Make as many folders and fill them this way as you have/need, then copy them to your Mac.
Start Microsoft Entourage on your Mac (A trial 'Test Drive' version of Microsoft Office comes with any new Mac).
Drag them into a folder the same way as you exported them on your pc.
Now you should have the mail in Entourage.
Mail can now import mailboxes from Entourage.
don't forget to delete all the other mails (in folders, entourage, outlook), all those mails usually fill up pretty much space on your drives


Alternative Method

For a slightly easier transition, you can use LittleMachines' Outlook2Mac program ($10 shareware), which runs on your PC and directly exports files for use with Apple Mail.



Alternative Method

another possibility is to intall mozilla thunderbird (free) on your pc

it will ask you during install if it should import from outlook - do so
now it the mails should be in thunderbird
you can just take the thunderbird forlder (find in user files) and move them to your mac
find files with the name of your mailboxes (they dont have a suffix) and rename them to nameofthefile.mbox
and open them WITH entourage
if you want to have them in mail - drag and drop them from entourage to mail

Oppure tramite IMAP
L'amica può passare ad IMAP se i suoi account lo permettono oppure usare degli account IMAP provvisori

Migrating Emails using an intermediary IMAP account

Given this preliminaries about IMAP, you will probably already guess how emails can be exported from Outlook Express. Yes, we will use an intermediary IMAP account for that. Outlook Express allows for moving and copying Emails between accounts, hence we can move all emails from a POP mailbox and local mail folders to an IMAP account and vice versa:

The first thing you need is an email account with IMAP support. For example, the following providers offer free IMAP email accounts: GMX, FastMail or AIM Mail. The services differ mainly in the size of the IMAP storage space that is offered.

After creating for your IMAP account, you need to add this account to Outlook Express. Start Outlook Express and choose Option “Accounts” from the “Tools” menu. Click “Add” “Mail…” to bring up the Internet connection wizard. Here you need to fill in the name of the data for your email server, which you have received from your email provider.

Now you are ready to start the migration. Outlook Express will show both email accounts, your old POP account and your new IMAP account. You can start moving emails from your POP account to your new IMAP account with drag and drop. You can also move local folders to the IMAP account. Be patient, uploading your emails to the IMAP server can take a long time, since the Internet uplink for DSL and Cable modems is generally much slower than the downlink.

After you have moved (or copied) all of your emails to the IMAP server, you need to setup your IMAP account also in Apple Mail.app (or any other Email client). You add a new mail account in the “Account” preference pane of Mail. Mail will then import all emails from your IMAP account. If you chose to use the new IMAP account and the corresponding email address as your standard account, you are done now. If you would like to stick to your previous POP email account, continue with the next step.

Setup your POP account in Mail. You can now move email from your IMAP account to the Inbox of your POP account. A local mail folders can be created with the menu “Mailbox” → “New Mailbox…”. Chose location “On My Mac” to make the folder local. You can now move emails from the intermediary IMAP account to your local folders.
