RE: Incomplete Mail Import from Thunderbird

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Alan, having taken lots of advice from others on this forum in the last
14 months of Mac-dom, I am only too glad to be able to give a little back to
others. I'm glad it worked for you.

 

Regards

 

Peter.

I used O2M for email and contacts transfer.  It worked well.

 

O2M was not really faster than Thunderbird: it just worked a lot better!

 

Cheers, Alan

Hi Alan,

 

Extract from a previous email from myself to WAMUG:

O2M is for transferring from Windows Outlook Mail & Address Book and
converting to Apple Mail (or Entourage) & Address Book format.

G'day Alan, a while back I had reason to be doing this and I used "O2M" on
Ronni's recommendation. It is a $10 download and worked flawlessly, with all
emails transferred, with attachments, subject line and folderising (not sure
if that's a kosher word but gets the message I think) as you'd expect.
perhaps this is worth a try. If you google "O2M" it is the first hit
returned and their is a free trial version which will demo the process.

I'll second that. I have often used O2M with great effect over the years. It
will be interesting to see how the new Migration Assistant in Lion handles
this (supports migration directly from a Windows PC).

Hi Alan,

Extract from a previous email from myself to WAMUG:
O2M is for transferring from Windows Outlook Mail & Address Book and converting 
to Apple Mail (or Entourage) & Address Book format.

O2M  ---  'Outlook2Mac'
http://www.littlemachines.com/

O2M is fastest solution to move your Outlook email, contacts, and calendar 
appointments from your PC to your Macintosh computer!

Just fire up O2M on your Windows PC, pick the Outlook folders you want to 
export, choose the filtering options you want to use, and click Start — O2M 
does the rest, automatically exporting your Outlook data into portable files 
you can import directly into your Apple Mail, Address Book, iCal, Microsoft 
Entourage, or other Macintosh-compatible programs.

Back up all of your PC's email and email attachments to your Apple! Copy your 
Outlook contacts from work to home and vice-versa! Migrate all of your calendar 
appointments from your old PC to your new Mac! The possibilities are endless!

Cheers,
Ronni

G'day Alan, a while back I had reason to be doing this and I used "O2M" on 
Ronni's recommendation. It is a $10 download and worked flawlessly, with all 
emails transferred, with attachments, subject line and folderising (not sure if 
that's a kosher word but gets the message I think) as you'd expect. perhaps 
this is worth a try. If you google "O2M" it is the first hit returned and their 
is a free trial version which will demo the process.

Regards

Peter.
