At least they let you install it on five machines, unlike Adobe's Photography package. I have a powerful desktop, a powerful laptop, and a runabout laptop that happens to have an asset tag but may as well be mine. If I want to bring the runabout & edit photos, I have to unauthorize another machine first. At least give me the option to authorize machines for online use only, you thugs. I mean, what kind of criminal enterprise do they think I'm running, I'm going to authorize hella machines and keep them all offline for that sweet sweet free Lightroom?

Jose Oquendo posted:No. You'd have to reinstall Outlook 2011 on the temporary Mojave install. He's a business guy who doesn't really know what he's doing computer wise. He's got a few email accounts, the main one is on his own domain name and hosted by this rinky dink hosting company that I'm pretty sure he's buddies with the owner of. But he's got years and years of emails he wants to keep, and was just downloading them with pop instead of imap, so they're not the server I don't think. (I've got him on imap now) How exactly would I dump the archived emails into the new installation of Outlook? Just go find the folder outlook stores everything in and copy it over?

counterfeitsaint posted:That is a great idea, thanks both of you for replying. I've found some guides for how to install on a USB drive and boot from it, but will that give me access to the Outlook 2011 installation that's on the home drive? I'm not that familiar with macs, so maybe it's a dumb question. But for example if you did this with windows, and booted from a different installation on a thumb drive you couldn't run Outlook that was installed on the main hard drive. I have never used outlook but my approach would be something like this: 1. Figure out where Outlook 2011 stores all your mail and preferences data 2. Copy all that stuff from the Catalina drive to the same paths on the temporary Mojave 3. Install outlook 2011 on Mojave 4. Fire it up and hope it works 5. If it does, export the mail, boot into Catalina, see if it imports. If your friend happened to make a time machine backup of their old Mojave before upgrading to Catalina, a much less painful procedure would be to restore it to an external drive and then do step 5. E: actually Jose’s Microsoft support link sounds like the way to go, all my advice so far has been based on the assumption that Outlook 2019 couldn’t import direct from 2011 data. If it can, you should do that. Also for the love of god make him a backup before performing the import if the mail is important. BobHoward fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Oct 25, 2019 |

I just thought of something too: You said you got him setup with IMAP. So EXCEPT from archived stuff, is all his stuff in his email server? If so, you might be in luck. If you know where the email archives are located, you may be able to just import them with outlook and not even have to gently caress with Outlook 2011.

So I really appreciate all the help. It turns out when I finally get in front of his laptop, the solution is, when setting up Outlook 365, you select the 'import data from Outlook 2011' option, instead of the create new profile option. Go figure.

I swear this came up not too long ago, but is it possible to run Windows 10 in Boot Camp and as a VM? If so, is there a preferred way to set it up? Boot Camp first would be my guess. I'd be running VirtualBox for the virtualization side ideally. Eh, starting to look pretty ugly using VirtualBox. I think I'll see how my old MacBook does running it as just a VM. nitsuga fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Oct 27, 2019 |

VMWare Fusion can definitely run a Boot Camp install.

Pivo posted:Parallels supports this. Yep it's really nice too. You can install Steam updates and if you're not a coward you can also perform Windows updates from the VM without having to reboot into Windows (or reboot the host machine at all ). I did this for several years and I don't think it screwed up my Windows install lol, but your mileage may vary

Fallom posted:Is there a good alternative to Mail?

I think those kinds of problems are really more due to the crossed streams with Google and Apple than just the app itself though, so your luck may be no better really. Pivo posted:Parallels supports this. Now do they support going from a VM to Boot Camp or is there any decent way to do that? I think I'll stick with a VM for now, but I'm guessing I'd be better off just starting over if I do want to run it in Boot Camp as well. Calling Microsoft isn't THAT bad these days.

If you care to the tune of $30/mo about having a really fast and productive email experience on macOS and iOS, Superhuman is quite good. Its offline support is better than Airmail’s especially, which is what I was using before.

I'm fairly sure you'd have to do some serious work on your own to convert a virtual machine into a Bootcamp partition, I don't think any of the commercial VM software supports doing that. You would have to start over, yes.

I pay something like $24/yr at https://www.tuffmail.com/ Using a dedicated email host with a suite of configurable filters is really great. I've kept the same email address for over a decade and barely get any spam. Simple MX hosting isn't what's being discussed though I think it is a great alternative to selling your life to Google. If you live in your email for work, I could see how 30/mo might be worth it, if it's such a big improvement to your workflow ... Can't speak to the product though.

Does that $30 include hosting or is it just the client? Lol there’s no way an email client alone is worth $30/month.

I'm curious if it's what others have been running into with the .wim being too large to be read correctly from a FAT32 volume. I'm thinking about giving this a go, but I'm open to other approaches. I know Boot Camp has a bit of a reputation these days.

Only caveats: you'll still have issues playing videos, can't export slideshows from iPhoto
