An updated version released today contains updated and re-written code and is a universal binary. It will now only run on Mac OS 10.3 or greater.

It also reports problem appointments better and fixes a number of smaller bugfixes.

iCalMaker is shareware (USD 34.95) and is available from the developer’s web site . You can also download a demo version which will only process 5 appointments at a time and starts to nag after a while.appointments, export, ical events, import, print, apple mail, ical, palmdesktop, vcal, universal binarySimilar Posts:

The new version resolves aliases and symbolic links within the Eudora folder and the target folder hierarchy and improves the reading of binary data from Eudora mailboxes.

A new AppleScript is included in the disk image which will rebuild all the imported messages within Mail.app 2.x’s “Import” hierarchy.

It also improves the importing of nicknames from Eudora.

It is not yet a universal binary, but the app runs fine in Rosetta.

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner is free (donations not refused) and is available from Andreas’ web site.Similar Posts:

It costs money (USD 34.95) but it might be worth it if you manage a lot of appointments, spend a lot of time shunting appointments around in iCal or want to sync your appointments with PalmDesktop.

In fact, the developer suggests so many contexts in which iCalMaker is indispensable, that they follow after the jump.


The iCalMaker FAQ suggests that the app can be used to:

  • Display your iCal appointments as a list

  • Clean up existing iCal files

  • Extract a series of appointments from an iCal file to e-mail to colleagues

  • Convert PalmDesktop vCal export for iCal

  • Convert iCal files to vCal for use with PalmDesktop

  • Automatically ‘translate’ an appointment in text, say in an e-mail, to an iCal appointment

  • Create, or import, appointments to e-mail to colleagues and producing a print-out for use on the day

  • Export iCal data as a tab- or comma-delimited file

  • Convert tab- or comma-delimited appointment files to iCal files

  • Combine calendars from multiple iCal (or vCal) files

It has a nice, clean interface that puts most of its functionality at your fingertips:

It supports Apple Mail (and some other email clients as well).

You can read more about it and download a slightly crippled version from the developer’s web site.PalmDesktop, appointments, import, export, print, ical eventsSimilar Posts:

But you can put deleted messages back (if you have them in a backup) or add news ones and force Mail to reindex them. Here’s how:

  1. Quit Mail.

  2. Make a backup of your complete ~/Library/Mail folder just in case, by Option-Dragging it out of the Finder window onto the Desktop.

  3. Create a new directory in your ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder called – for example – “backup.mbox”.

  4. Create a sub-folder in the new folder called “Messages”.

  5. Copy all the messages (emlx files) that you want to restore from your backup into that sub-folder.

  6. Launch Apple Mail. The mailbox you created will be in the list of mailboxes on the left. Highlight it (it will appear empty but isn’t really) and choose “Rebuild” from Mail’s Mailbox menu.

  7. Mail.app will rebuild and re-index the messages.

  8. When the process is complete you will see the messages you added in the new mailbox. You can then move them to wherever they really belong.

This has worked for me. And I double-checked it again this morning.mail.app, apple mail, emlx, import, messages, tip, mailboxesSimilar Posts:
