Hi, I did not export my emails from Entourage because I didn't know it was going to have a problem with an update and never start again. So I reinstalled Office, but I saved everything in the Entourage folder first, hoping I could bring my emails back in. So Entourage wants to import rge files...

I moved the Mail MBOX files over to this computer, and when I try to import, they are STILL grayed out. I don't get it!!! Last resort is installing entourage on the other mac, I guess that will work.

I guess I can't move the original database file from Mail... will have to do it as you said. What about MBOX files - that is not the same as raw msg source files? Mail cannot export as mbox?

according to entourage help page - "You can import e-mail messages, contacts, and events into Entourage from other Mac applications such as Apple Mail and previous versions of Entourage." so I assumed I could import email messages that had been exported.

I understand what you're saying. The problem is the Mail app I used was on a different computer. So that's why I exported my messages (in 7 different accounts) and simply wanted to import them into the Ent program on this new Mac. I don't understand why Entourage doesn't recognize the raw msg...

yeah I tried that for every account I created, not working. When I try to import the raw msg files they are grayed out; when I try to import the text files I get an error. Are exported files from Mail not compatible with Entourage?

I searched archives for a similar question, found one or two but no answer that helps me. I exported all my email accounts in Mail, as text files AND as raw message source files. Now I want to use Entourage and import the messages, but Entourage does not recognize these files. WHY?? they are all...

found it!

Where is the setting in the Mail program to leave a copy of emails on the server? I can't find it, but I turned it off at one point, I need to turn it on now. Thanks!

I'm not gonna do it, after reading more on that page it's just too confusing. I don't need receipts that often, it's just that charter emails often go into junk folders so I have to confirm that they were received. But I cannot find mail receipt info in yahoo either. I may be getting a new Mac...

Thank you, I will attempt this later on. If mail programs sent a return acknowledgment without the receiver's knowledge, I could see how it's a "hack." But if it asks the receiver if they would like to send back an acknowledgment, I see absolutely no problem with that being part of the software...

I read that link, but apparently the additional info you mention is in the comments below. I have used mail rules but not for things like this, and I'm not at all familiar with creating AppleScripts. So the fact that this is not an easy thing to set up is rather annoying, I don't understand why...

Thanks, so once I have that in Terminal, how does the mail receipt work - how does mail let me know?

sorry, I'm using Panther. I will DM you.

I've searched this issue online, and it seems Mac Mail doesn't let you confirm that an email has been received. Is this true, there is absolutely no way to do this? I don't understand why not. Thanks.
