Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook1018560

I'd a call from the friend a few days ago as she had decided to stop using Outlook Express on her Windows XP and begin using Microsoft Outlook. One of the main reasons behind this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders that are options that come with Microsoft Outlook. Simple task she thought, when I reminded her about the should transfer the messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she or he considered sticking with Outlook Express. Along with it proved, it was an activity that needed to be planned, but was fairly simple. Firstly, what we should did was start OE (Outlook Express) and through the File menu tab, select Export and after that Messages. This might let us export all of her current email, an assortment of messages in their Inbox along with hundreds that had been filed away in folders for future reference. Well, when we clicked on Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us that the process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, just what we wanted!

Step 2 ended up being export out all her contacts so they might be employed in Microsoft Outlook and save on a regular basis keying back in those contact information of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it ended up being an easy task of deciding on Export through the File menu tab in Outlook Express, however, this time selecting Address Book as opposed to messages. This raised the Address Book Export Tool. Now this brought us to some sudden halt even as we were prompted with two export options. One would have been to export to a Exchange Personal Address Book as well as the second to a Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Devoid of Exchange available we selected the other option, closed our eyes striking the Export button. We were prompted for a location to save the exported CSV, and thought we would save it for the Desktop and named it addresses.csv Could everything be that simple and self-explanatory? Now all we wanted to do was open up Microsoft Outlook to see what else must be completed. So it is precisely what happened, exposed Microsoft Outlook and voila, each of the messages ended up imported into Microsoft Outlook. To make sure we might send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, additionally we needed to go and set in the email account details within the Tools menu tab. Even as we had Microsoft Office 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings in the Tools menu tab and proceeded to make a new email account from instructions supplied by her email supplier. Most of the details we wanted could be obtained from back checking the settings within the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. Such as her name, email, incoming and outgoing servers and her email password. As we tested sending an e-mail with a friend, we had arrived reminded we had not imported from the contacts from Outlook Express Login. Therefore we searched and found about the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us a variety of actions to complete. The most suitable was Import from another program or file, so that is what we clicked so we were prompted to pick out folders type. Now the two of us remembered we had exported the contacts inside a comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll through the set of options and located what seemed like a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). It prompted for the file and that we browsed towards the Desktop and located the addresses.csv file created only minutes before, selected to import to the Contacts folder and waited. Only seconds later it completed and we then made itself known yet the Contacts from the navigation pane and may see her contacts from Outlook Express.
