We released version 12 last week and it includes a very cool new feature: de-duplication. De-duplication will filter out duplicate email messages during the conversion process, and it’s really easy to use. All you have to do is just turn on de-duplication in Emailchemy’s preferences. That’s really all there is
Outlook 2011 for Mac imports a lot of formats, but the one it imports best is the Entourage Archive format. If you want to move mail into Outlook 2011, use Emailchemy to convert your mail to the Entourage Archive format. This will create a file with a .rge extension. Outlook
When email is sent between 2 people with accounts on an Exchange email server, the email addresses that are used are not the typical and familiar SMTP-style email addresses. An Exchange user’s SMTP email address may be joe.bob@somecompany.com, but Exchange uses an address that is based on X.400 (or X.500)

In Part 1, I explained how the “Date:” header of an email is actually the “sent date” and introduced a couple of issues with how the sent date is created by different email clients. Now in Part 2, I’ll give a similar rundown of the problems with the received date,

I think the title says it all, but the problem is bigger than that. The whole idea that the last 3 or 4 letters of a filename are an indication of underlying file format and structure is flawed. More than flawed, it’s wrong, but 3 decades of MS-DOS (yes, it’s
Outlook PST files have a very complicated internal database structure, which is read from and written to probably thousands of times every day, and they tend to be quite large. The combination of these characteristics, combined with the fact that Outlook and Windows do crash every now an then, makes
