Exporting OS X 10.5 Leopard Mail to Windows Vista Mail (The Easy Way)
Monday, April 21st, 2008Since we purchased a Toshiba Laptop for my Mother to use, instead of my Father’s Mac Pro (she never has seemed to grasp the OS X concept it seems). I have been battling with moving her mail from Mac back to a PC. Most write ups on the interweb have nothing to do with Vista only XP. So attempting to use these as a guide, I tried my best, only to find that Vista Mail will not import from Eudora. After countless hours and much hair pulling as well, I have an epiphany. Simply setup a Gmail account, enable IMAP, and move the mail to the Gmail servers, then download them to the Vista machine. after 5 minutes setting up the account, 10 minutes making sure I have all the mail moved to the servers , 5 minutes wondering “WTF why isn’t it seeing the server" (set the security options in the advanced tab folks) and-10 minutes pulling all the mail back to Vista Mail. We have it done, Bob’s your Uncle and all is right with the world once again, and you can finally let your hair grow back out where you were constantly pulling it out HI HI.
Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Friday, January 18th, 2008well, finally bit the large phallic symbol, and bought a Copy of Vista. Just to play 1 silly game with all it's new prettys that the devs put in (kind of a sorry reason to upgrade but there ya are)
Of course as most have noted, you damn near need a new system to run Vista, so that is exactly what i did, bought a while new system.
Pretty little thing, Shuttle SP35P2 Pro, Intel Core 2 Quad (QC6600), 4GB rams, XFX GeForce 8800 GT vid card (smokin card BTW)500GB Sata/II HD and a Sata DWD-RW DL.
with all this, Vista seems to run fine, but the damned 64-Bit beast has some issues with programs, and seems Explorer likes to crash often, least it doesn't BSOD or totally freeze most times this happen (big improvement there I can tell you) still getting the kinks worked out and getting used to running WinBlows again. Yes I am a Mac guy and my wonderful Mirror Door running OS X 10.5 is my primary machine. I run Micro$haft products simply to play my games and for something else to blow up.
And why is it everytime I close all my explorer windows I get some crash report, WTF
