Comment on Connecting to console by Ian

As an alternative just enter “space” and “/console” after the machines name or address:

“192.168.1.1 /console” or “machine /console”

that way the infos is saved in the connection.

Ignore my last message Brad – I managed to sort out the transfer – it was partly me but also I found I could only get the conversion to happen if I kept things simple in dos and used the C:\Documents and Settings\my name location – anywhere else and I couldn’t get anything to work! I also followed the instructions elsewhere on this blog to import the mbx files into Mail on my mac through a networked shared folder with my PC, create a new mailbox in the import folder and then rebuild the mailbox – as my first try showed I had messages and details of who sent them and when but no content. Needless to say I only converted copies and have kept the original files on my PC. Thanks to everyone for their contributions to this task.

Brad – been trying to use Dbxconvert without success – following steps but in dos I get ‘nothing to do’ as a response when I type in dbxconv -mbx *.dbx. Dbxconvert and copy of outlook express dbx folder are both on the desktop. Any advice? I’ve also tried renaming the oe dbx folder by dropping the .dbx suffix. I’ve also had a dos response – dbxconv isn’t recognised as a command, operable program or batch file.
Is there another option for me to convert my outlook express mail version 6 for us with a new imac using Mail v 4.2?
Thanks
David

I wasn’t able to get these instructions to work with Outlook 2007. I got all the *.mbox files generated on my windows vm (using fusion) and imported into imail as separate mailboxes. all the messages come over, but when i try to click on the imported messages, the content isn’t available. it’s like the headers are there but the bodies aren’t. anybody had success converting outlook 2007 PST files?

B,
Is this why we haven’t talked lately? You blew out your ACL again and you didn’t want to tell me! Man, I hope you are going to hang up the soccer cleats… or whatever indoor tennies you are wearing. You’re old, get over it.
Let’s do lunch soon.

Comment on Add File Path Contextual Menu to Snow Leopard by Brad

Diane,

I was able to duplicate what you described. It appears WordPress modified my quotes in the blog post. After you paste my code in to Automator, delete each of the quotation marks and add them back in manually using your keyboard. Then try compiling and all should be well (this worked for me).
