Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook3426348

I needed a phone call from a friend a few days ago as she'd decided to stop using Outlook Express to be with her Windows 7 and initiate using Microsoft Outlook. One of the main factors behind this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders which might be features of Microsoft Outlook. Simple task she thought, however, if I reminded her concerning the have to transfer all of her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she or he considered sticking to Outlook Express. Well as it turned out, it absolutely was a job that must be planned, but was fairly simple. Firstly, what we should did was start OE (Outlook Express) and from the File menu tab, select Export after which Messages. This could allow us export her current email, a mixture of messages in her Inbox as well as hundreds that was filed away in folders for future reference. Well, once we clicked on Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us that this process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, precisely what we wanted!

The next thing would have been to export out her contacts so they could possibly be utilized in Microsoft Outlook and save on a regular basis keying back those email addresses of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it ended up being an easy task of deciding on Export from the File menu tab in Outlook Express, however, this time selecting Address Book instead of messages. This mentioned the Address Book Export Tool. This particular brought us to a sudden halt even as were prompted with two export options. One was to export with an Exchange Personal Address Book along with the second with a Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Lacking Exchange available we selected the 2nd option, closed our eyes striking the Export button. We were prompted to get a place to save the exported CSV, and made a decision to save it on the Desktop and named it addresses.csv Could everything be that easy and easy? Now all we wanted to do was start Microsoft Outlook and discover what else needed to be completed. So it is precisely what happened, opened up Microsoft Outlook and voila, each of the messages had been imported into Microsoft Outlook. To be sure we will send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, we also necessary to go as well as set the email account details within the Tools menu tab. Once we had 'microsoft office' 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings from your Tools menu tab and proceeded to produce a new email account from instructions furnished by her email service provider. Almost all of the details we wanted could be from back checking the settings from the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. These included her name, current email address, incoming and outgoing servers and her email password. Even as we tested sending an e-mail into a friend, i was reminded we hadn't imported in the contacts from Outlook Express Login. And then we looked around determined for the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us a variety of actions to execute. The best option was Import from another program or file, so that is what we clicked and that we were prompted to pick out folders type. Now both of us remembered that people had exported the contacts in a comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll from the list of options and discovered what appeared as if a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). After that it prompted for a file so we browsed for the Desktop determined the addresses.csv file created only minutes before, selected to import to the Contacts folder and waited. Only seconds later it completed and that we then visited the Contacts from the navigation pane and might see her contacts from Outlook Express.
