Greetings, Following a case of database corruption that hit me on Halloween, I've gotten a bit more serious about archiving my Entourage data. I had a recent backup of my entire database, which saved my bacon in this case, but I also want to have the data in non-Entourage form.
I know about dragging mailboxes to the desktop to save them as mbox files (and I've discovered that you can also drag them directly to a _folder_ on the desktop, which I find tidier). I've been able to open the exported mbox files in Eudora, and the data seems to have come through well, with just a couple of glitches. One glitch was my Japanese-language data, which was illegible; I've fixed that with an app called Jedit, which also converted file type from MBOX to TEXT, as Eudora requires. But a glitch (?) that I haven't figured out how to fix is with my Sent Items mailbox. Only a fraction of the messages get exported (34 messages out of the total of 465 as of my last try). Is this a general problem or is it just me? Is there a way around this, other than moving all the sent messages to a different mailbox or mailboxes (which I've already done, BTW, for everything predating July 1 this year)? -- Jeremy Whipple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Setagaya-ku, Tokyo P.S. Maybe this is one point in favor of using the option of saving sent replies in the same folder as the original. I've never done that, because often I find it handy to review the list of all the mail I've sent recently, but I suppose I ought to be able to do the same with a custom mail view. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
