Regardless if you are shifting from a PC to a Mac or vice versa it’s a big shift. When you swap computers you need to work out which programs are equivalent to the versions you are used to and to make certain it’s possible to open and update your old files. And of course you’ll need to learn how to find your way around the menus on these new programs.

When it comes to mail it’s the same story. You’ll be transferring from Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook to Thunderbird, Entourage or Apple Mail or vice versa. Thunderbird works on Mac and Windows even though it looks slightly different on each.
At www.transfer-email.com you can download guides that show you how to transfer your email from any email program to any other email program

www.transfer-email.com is a new website. It is a sister site to www.easy-email.net. The transfer email guides were written by Anders when he realized that a version of the Easy-Email synchronization solution would work for transferring emails and would get around all of the compatibility troubles that people are experiencing. While answering questions on some of the tech forums he realized what a widespread problem this is and decided to write specific guides to and from different email clients

At time of writing some of these guides are still a work in progress but you can check here if the guide you need is ready at www.transfer-email.com
