    The trial is crippled (deliberately) but you'll be able to assess the functionality

    You are very right about leaving Outlook behind, now for the rest of the world

    Yes, Outlook was working alright...until Lion...

    Anyway, I'm not going back to SL, so I'll have to switch to mac mail instead.

    I am too trying to import my mbox files from Mail.app into Outlook 2011 for Mac.

     

    The link provided by cpickrell leads to the same infos you can get through the Help menu in Outlook. The problem is that they don't work. Once you get to the mbox folder, the files inside can't be selected because they are greyed out. I reported this issue to Microsoft.

     

    So that i why I am trying to find a way to convert the .mbox files to a format Outlook 2011 can read.

     

    I would rather not have to spend $30 on Emailchemy, so if someone knows a free option, please post.

     

    Thanks.

    I have been running into this for a while, I have been unable to find a free substitute for Emailchemy, I had done a lot of looking before I bought Emailchemy.

    You have to set the File Type code of the "mbox" file exported by Mac Mail to TEXT.

    Then, when the file dialog box comes up in Outlook 2011, the mbox file will no longer be greyed out and Outlook will be able to import it. No conversion program is needed. Programs like FileType and Quick Change can do File type change. Changing the "Open with:" Application in the Finder did not work for me, I had to change the File Type code. (Worked on Mountain Lion + Apple Mail + Outlook 2011)

    If you are working in an exchange hosted environment there is a simple (if sometimes time consuming) way to migrate files from outlook 2011 to macmail and back.  Create a new exchange hosted account in MacMail.  Once that is complete, you can drag and drop files and folders wherever you want and they will propogate across both your MacMail and Outlook 2011 enviroments.

    Hi babyluliis,

     

    In demo version, it is possible to judge that conversion would be possible or not? Couple months ago, i used a free demo of MBOX to PST converter at:

    http://www.stellaroutlooktools.com/scan/mbox-to-pst.php

     

    At that ocassion, It changed my Apple mail messges in to .PST format.

     

    Let me know your opinion about this free trial demo?

     

    Thanks
