MAC - Importing Legacy POP On My Computer data
The end is nigh for Legacy thus I did the switch as a test knowing I could still revert.
Background:
I have long time POP account. In the UBF8T346G9.Office, Outlook, Outlook 15 Profiles, Main Profile:
- Data folder: 159 GB. Largest folders:
- Message Attachments: 90 GB
- Message Sources: 65 GB
- Messages: 5 GB
Before I switching I tried:
- Export Data to OLM – don't have enough room
- Delete attachments from multiple emails – can only do one email at a time. Rules can't help
After switch it began importing On My Computer data which was hopeful, but it held at 141498 items, and would take days I read. I reverted back to Legacy and will go another way about it when I have a few off days.
My question:
Apart from deleting years of emails, what's a better way to get the most data out of Legacy, and/or speeding up the import?
- Get another drive and Export Data to OLM, then manually import?
- Delete attachment folders directly from Message Attachments folder?
- Find something like Clean my Mac?
- ??
Perfect world I get all my in out mail with whatever attachments remain and Calendar data, but I'll take what I can get at this point.
Appreciated!
