Gidday from New Zealand!
I have just got a new Intel dual core g5. Great machine!
However, I am wanting to get the store of old emails, or at least selected emails from my old machine, an old 8100 running os 9, and outlook 4.5.
obviously, I have the chaice of programs like mail, and entourage on the new machine but am having issues transferring.
The old machine has a 100meg zip drive as pretty much the only means to get info off on to the new machine (running a usb zip drive), and as I have found, just copying the folder dosnt seem to work. am I missing something out???
all helk greatly appreciated!
 
AFAIK you can simply point Mail.app to the Outlook Express Identities folder to import messages - although: Maybe you need to update Outlook Express first to the last version which was available? I don't remember. Was there a version 5.0 accompanying the release of IE 5 for the Mac? Maybe Mail.app can only import that later format...
 
as in my first post, I cant get any information off the old machine unless via dialup internet, zip disc, or 1.44 floppy!!!
I downloaded and upgraded outlook express to 5.0.6 in order to transfer over to the intel g5.
however, I cat find the data store of the messages and files that would normally be found in the outlook folder to tranfer over. can anybody point me where i might be going wrong in the search please???
 
found it in documents, microsoft data..... (as per another thread on this site)
never seen that folder around before!!!

now... how to get a 168 meg inbox onto a 98 meg zip disc...........

Thia site is great, helpful, and very infirmative... (when I take a closer look for threads!!!)
