Unfortunately it sounds like you are out of luck unless you have a Time Machine backup copy of your database…

I updated outlook for mac 2011 with the service pack, it now wont open and wants to rebuild the identity…..i have tried this several times and it still wont open, can you convert emails from the outlook for mac to mac mail without being able to open outlook?

I have Lion and OL 2011, and have been unable to drag and drop anything. Without the ability to perform this step, the rest doesn’t matter. Any suggestions?

I tried the software at http://www.movemymailtomac.com with my Outlook 2007 and it worked perfectly and I got all my Windows mail into my APple Mail. It even converted some old Windows Live Mail conversations I had long forgotten about It costs $5 but it is definitely worth it!

#10 by Rob worked after several tries. The detail I missed was when you open the new folder in Finder, it is empty. I tried to drag files into the empty box, they transferred with a strange, but readable text. After doing that with a few files I decided to test them and when I opened Mac Mail and followed those steps to Import mbox files, all the mbox files transferred as promised whether in the Finder folder I created or just in Finder.
I have rearranged the folders in Mac Mail and it’s goodbye Outlook forever.

When using eml-2-emlx I get 14000 msgs across. An improvement but still not ‘all’ my mail. Any other suggestions?

I did a database repair and got the same result.
I am dragging the entire folder to the desktop to create mbox files.
I am able to see and access all of the 16000 msgs in OL.

I am going to try the individual .eml method using eml-2-emlx and see if I get the same results.

Did you use eml-2-emlx after dragging them into folders one by one? Did you then manually put the eml-2-emlx converted folders into your home mailbox location, and rebuild the new folders, as described above?

Thanks!

This means your Outlook database is corrupt and needs to be repaired by opening Outlook while holding down the “option” key on the keyboard.

If the same results are experienced after a database repair, then your database is permanently damaged. You could try comparing the Apple Mail import to Outlook, and easily find one of your missing Apple Mail messages. Outlook may experience a crash when opening one of the missing Apple Mail messages – this would confirm the database is corrupted. If you can view the missing message, it only means better news, and “at least its somewhere”.

Careful though – each database repair creates a whole new copy – taking up lots of space – make sure to visit your “~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Outlook 2011 Identities” folder to delete discarded old Outlook databases.

Thanks!

I am also getting the same problem. In Outlook 2011 my folder shows that there is 16000 msgs but when I import the mbox in to Apple Mail, it only comes up with 6000 msgs.

Jason: Why is it that some of the folders in OL only transfer some of the individual e-mails? When I compare what wound up in Mac mail to what was in OL, only some of the e-mails transferred. Any thoughts?
