Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook5178925

I had created a phone call from a friend recently as she'd made a decision to stop using Outlook Express for my child Windows 7 and start using Microsoft Outlook. One of the many factors behind this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders which can be options that come with Microsoft Outlook. Easy enough task she thought, when I reminded her regarding the need to transfer her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she considered sticking with Outlook Express. Along with it proved, it absolutely was an action that must be planned, but was quite easy. Firstly, that which you did was open up OE (Outlook Express) and through the File menu tab, select Export after which Messages. This could allow us export her current email, a mixture of messages in their Inbox along with hundreds that were filed away in folders for future reference. Well, when we engaged Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us how the process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, exactly what we wanted!

Step 2 ended up being to export out all of her contacts in order that they might be found in Microsoft Outlook and save continuously keying back those email addresses of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it turned into a simple task of choosing Export in the File menu tab in Outlook Express, however this time selecting Address Book as an alternative to messages. This mentioned the Address Book Export Tool. Now this brought us to some sudden halt even as we were prompted with two export options. One ended up being to export for an Exchange Personal Address Book and the second to some Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Without having Exchange available we selected the next option, closed our eyes and hit the Export button. Well we were prompted for the location to save the exported CSV, and chose to save it on the Desktop and referred to it as addresses.csv Could all of it be so easy and simple? Now all we needed to accomplish was throw open Microsoft Outlook and discover what else needed to be completed. So it is precisely what happened, exposed Microsoft Outlook and voila, every one of the messages was imported into Microsoft Outlook. To ensure we will send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, additionally we necessary to go as well as set up the email account details underneath the Tools menu tab. Even as we had Ms office 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings in the Tools menu tab and proceeded to create a new email account from instructions given by her email service provider. The majority of the details we needed could be from back checking the settings from the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. These included her name, email address contact information, incoming and outgoing servers and her email password. Once we tested sending a message with a friend, we had arrived reminded that individuals we hadn't imported in the contacts from Outlook Express Login. And then we looked around determined around the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us an array of actions to perform. The best option was Import from another program or file, so that's what we clicked so we were prompted to select a file type. Now we both remembered that we had exported the contacts within a comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll with the set of options determined what looked like a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). It then prompted to get a file so we browsed on the Desktop and found the addresses.csv file created only minutes before, selected to import into the Contacts folder and waited. Only seconds later it completed and we then visited the Contacts in the navigation pane and could see her contacts from Outlook Express.
