Export From Outlook 2011 Mac & Import .eml Files Into Apple Mail

It seems in Outlook 2011 SP1 (14.1), Microsoft re-added the .mbox export feature, which previously was deprecated from Entourage.

It is now possible to simply drag an Outlook 2011 folder from the list to your desktop, and have an importable Apple Mail .mbox.

The rest of the article is left for archiving purposes.  Thanks!

_________________________________________________________________________

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac was supposed to be the most compatible release for Mac – but not necessarily the most open. Microsoft removed folder-dragging mbox exports in Outlook 2011, leaving only an export to a proprietary Outlook 2011 .olm file. This essentially locks the e-mail data into Outlook….almost.

Exporting Outlook 2011 Mail

In Outlook 2011, perform an Edit –> Select All in the folder or Inbox you wish to Export. With patience, click & hold the mouse until you see the number count come up on the cursor. Then move the cursor over a Finder folder window and release the mouse. Patiently wait while Outlook locks up & churns from exporting the e-mails. There will be no progress bar. This will fill the folder with .eml files of all the e-mails.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Batch Convert & Import Microsoft .eml files into Apple Mail

1. Use registered eml-2-emlx to batch convert the files into an .emlx-based .mbox which Mail supports. Stephan should get back to you within a day if you pay with PayPal.

Download eml-2-emlx: http://aconcahua.com/eml2emlx/ 1.1.4 mirror:http://j.mp/ajnYg4

2. Quit Apple Mail & manually drop the converted emlx-based .mbox file(s) from eml-2-emlx into the user’s mailbox location (~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes). Apple Mail’s import function will NOT import the resulting .mbox files from eml-2-emlx.

3. Open Apple Mail & perform a Rebuild of the folder from within Apple Mail.

Individually Importing .eml Files Into Apple Mail

Apple Mail has full support for it’s previous mail format standard, .emlx. Apple Mail does not have database support for .eml files – but supports reading & opening (looking at) them. Apple Mail has an internal converter for .eml to .emlx files if you wish to save a .eml file into a Apple Mail folder. When viewing an .eml file in Apple Mail, you can perform Message –> Move To –> * Folder and it will do so.

Navigating to the Mail folder location in the Finder (~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/* Folder.mbox/Messages) will show your newly converted .emlx files. However, doing this in bulk would be highly tedious – and Automator doesn’t support move to actions in Mail:

It would also be technically possible to create a folder in Apple Mail, and then drop .emlx files into the Finder location of that folder to manually import existing .emlx files into Apple Mail. Afterwards in Apple Mail, selecing the mailbox and doing Mailbox –> Rebuild would then update the Mail folder with your newly inserted .emlx files.

* Note
This project was originally come across from trying to recover a corrupted 20 GB Entourage 2008 Mail Database. It was found that Outlook 2011 could successfully import the corrupted Entourage 2008 Database. From Outlook 2011, an export was necessary to convert the user to Apple Mail.

Unlock or decrypt your FileVault 2-encrypted boot drive from the command line

In addition to using Disk Utility, you can also use the command line to unlock or decrypt a FileVault 2-encrypted drive. In order to make sure it all works, I recommend that you use theRecovery HD partition or the Recovery HD partition cloned onto an external drive. See below the jump for the procedure.

To start with, you will need to identify the Logical Volume UUID of the encrypted drive using the diskutil corestorage list command:


diskutil corestorage list

Running that command will give you a listing of all Core Storage volumes. To help identify what you’re looking for, I’ve highlighted the UUID of the encrypted drive in this example:

Once you have the UUID, you can then either unlock or unencrypt the encrypted volume using the following commands.

Using the password of an authorized account on the command line

To unlock: diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase

The -stdinpassphrase flag will cause the command to prompt you for the password/passphrase of an account that’s authorized to unlock the encryption.

If successful, the drive will unlock and mount. You should see output similar to that shown below.

Once you’ve unlocked the disk, you can then revert it back from being an encrypted volume.

To decrypt: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase

You’ll be prompted for the password/passphrase of an account that’s authorized to unlock the encryption. Once provided, decryption of the encrypted volume will begin.

To track its progress, you can use the diskutil corestorage list command. To help identify the decryption status, I’ve highlighted the relevant sections to check in the list.

Once the drive has been completely decrypted, it will no longer be listed as a CoreStorage volume by diskutil corestorage list. In Disk Utility, it should appear as a normal hard drive.

Using the FileVault 2-generated individual recovery key on the command line

If you don’t have the password of any of the authorized accounts and you are not using an institutional recovery key with FileVaultMaster.keychain, you can use the FileVault 2-generated individual recovery key instead. The commands are mostly the same, but instead of using the -stdinpassphrase flag, you instead use -passphrase and enter the recovery key.

To unlock: diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -passphrase recoverykey

If successful, the drive will unlock and mount. You should see output similar to that shown below.

Once you’ve unlocked the drive, you should also be able to unencrypt it using this command:diskutil corestorage revert UUID -passphrase recoverykey

Using FileVaultMaster.keychain on the command line

At this time, it’s only possible to unlock or decrypt from the command line if you’re using a institutional recovery key that’s been set with FileVaultMaster.keychain. Here’s how you can unlock the encryption using an institutional recovery key with FileVaultMaster.keychain:

1. Copy your FileVaultMaster recovery keychain from the safe place your institution stored it in to a drive that you can access from Recovery HD.

2. Boot to the Recovery HD partition or the Recovery HD partition cloned onto an external drive.

3. Get the Logical Volume UUID of the encrypted drive by running diskutil corestorage list.

4. With the UUID information acquired, run the following command to unlock the FileVaultMaster.keychain:

security unlock-keychain /path/to/FileVaultMaster.keychain

Once this command is run, you’ll need to enter your institution’s Master Password when prompted. If the password is accepted, you’ll be taken to the next prompt.

5. Run the following command to unlock the encrypted Core Storage volume on the encrypted Mac:

diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -recoveryKeychain /path/to/FileVaultMaster.keychain

6. You should then see output similar to the following:


Started CoreStorage operation
Logical Volume successfully unlocked
Logical Volume successfully attached as disk4
Logical Volume successfully mounted as /Volumes/Macintosh HD
Core Storage disk: disk4

At this point, with the disk unlocked and mounted, you should be able to recover your data using whatever tools you prefer.

Once you’ve unlocked the disk, you can also then decrypt the encrypted volume by running the following command:

diskutil corestorage revert UUID -recoveryKeychain /path/to/FileVaultMaster.keychain

Once it’s decrypted, you should have full access to your hard disk’s data.

How to Use OS X Boot Options to Troubleshoot Your Mac

There are times when your Mac may misbehave and refuse to boot into OS X. You may get a sad Mac face, an audible beep, or another ailment keeping your Mac from properly booting. When this happens, you can troubleshoot your Mac by using boot options to run an Apple Hardware Test, or booting with extensions disabled. Sometimes, launching your Mac this way can help save you a trip to the Apple Store.

Don’t panic when this happens to your Mac. Instead, turn to this guide in which we explain all of the various boot options in OS X that may help return your Mac to normal.

1. Press C During Startup

Booting from a CD? You can hold down the C key on your keyboard to instantly boot to a Mac OS X or other bootable disc in your Mac.

2. Press D During Startup

Apple’s Hardware Test utility is usually run by booting from a disc that came with your computer. With the introduction of Intel-based Macs, however, Apple has built the AHT utility right into your Mac. Simply hold down the D key while starting up your Mac to boot into the Apple Hardware Test.

3. Press Option + Command + P + R

Sometimes on a Mac, the PRAM (parameter RAM) and NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) can become corrupt and cause various problems. These two memory areas store settings and information that is not cleared whenever you turn off your Mac’s power.

To do this, you’ll want to turn off your Mac, and then turn it back on while holding down the Command + Option + P + R keys. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys after you hear the second startup chime. The PRAM will be reset.

4. Press Option During Startup

Holding down the Option key during startup will show you a boot screen with all bootable devices listed. You can use the mouse or the keyboard to select a device to boot into.

This is great for those times when your main installation of OS X isn’t working correctly and you need to boot into a bootable mirror of your OS X install.

5. Press Eject, F12, or Hold Down Mouse/Trackpad Button

Sometimes discs can get stuck in your optical drive. When you cannot seem to get them out, you may panic, but just try restarting while holding down either the Eject key, F12 key, or your mouse or trackpad button. Your disc will be ejected in a flash after doing this.

6. Press N During Startup

If your setup includes a compatible network server (NetBoot), you can hold down the N key during startup to attempt a network boot. You can optionally use the Option + N keys during startup to start from a NetBoot server using the default boot image provided.

7. Press T During Startup

Target Disk Mode is a great way to retrieve your files from your Mac if your machine refuses to boot properly. Sometimes it’s best to just retrieve those files and start fresh with a clean copy of OS X. Follow our guide on Target Disk Mode for more information on how it works.

8. Press Shift During Startup

OS X includes a boot option called Safe Mode. Start up your machine while holding down the Shift key to have OS X only load required kernel extensions and login items. It will disable all non system fonts, all startup items, and login items.

This Safe Mode feature is a great way to troubleshoot OS X applications and extensions that aren’t working properly. If you are having OS X boot problems, always try this first to check and see if you have a rogue piece of software preventing your Mac from booting properly. Check out this article for more information about booting into Safe Mode.

9. Press Command + V During Startup

Command + V boots your Mac into what is called Verbose Mode. Using this key combination will cause your Mac to become very verbose on startup and will show a terminal-like interface while booting. It will contain information important to startup, allowing you to diagnose startup problems by seeing any errors that may be occurring during startup. Verbose mode exits automatically when the computer's startup process progresses sufficiently and the blue screen appears.

10. Press Command + S During Startup

Holding down Command + S during startup will boot your Mac into Single User Mode. This is a terminal interface that allows you to login and interact with your computer via text input only. No graphical interface will be loaded. This mode is good for when you need to troubleshoot a startup issue, or modify a file or application that is preventing proper startup.

11. Press Command + R During Startup

If your system contains Mac OS X Lion, then you’re in luck because it has all of the necessary restore features built right in. Just hold down Command + R during startup to boot into Lion Recovery Mode - a complete copy of the Lion installer disc. In this mode, you can use Safari to browse the web for any possible boot problem solutions, perform a system restore, or format the drive using Disk Utility.
