I needed an appointment from a friend a few days ago as she had decided to stop using Outlook Express to be with her Windows 7 and start using Microsoft Outlook. One of the many reasons behind playstation 3 utilise the Calendar and reminders that are features of Microsoft Outlook. Easy enough task she thought, but when I reminded her about the have to transfer all her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she considered sticking to Outlook Express. Well as it proved, it had been a job that must be planned, but was quite simple. Firstly, that which you did was throw open OE (Outlook Express) and in the File menu tab, select Export and then Messages. This would let us export all her current email, a mixture of messages in her Inbox in addition to hundreds that was filed away in folders for future reference. Well, if we made itself known yet Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us the process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, precisely what we wanted!

The next step was to export out all of her contacts so they could possibly be utilized in Microsoft Outlook and save continuously keying back those email addresses of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it ended up being easy of selecting Export from your File menu tab in Outlook Express, however this time selecting Address Book rather than messages. This described the Address Book Export Tool. This particular brought us with a sudden halt as we were prompted with two export options. One ended up being export with an Exchange Personal Address Book as well as the second into a Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Without having Exchange available we selected the 2nd option, closed our eyes colliding with the Export button. Well we were prompted to get a destination for a save the exported CSV, and chose to save it for the Desktop and named it addresses.csv Could all of it be that easy and self-explanatory? Now all we wanted to accomplish was open Microsoft Outlook and discover what else should be completed. So it is precisely what happened, opened up Microsoft Outlook and voila, all of the messages ended up imported into Microsoft Outlook. To ensure we could send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, we all necessary to go as well as set the email account details beneath the Tools menu tab. As we had Ms office 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings from your Tools menu tab and proceeded to produce a new email account from instructions given by her email service provider. Most of the details we would have liked could possibly be obtained from back checking the settings in the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. Such as her name, email, incoming and outgoing servers and her email password. Once we tested sending a contact to some friend, we had been reminded that individuals had not imported inside the contacts from Outlook Express Login. So we looked around determined around the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us a selection of actions to do. The most suitable was Import from another program or file, so that is what we clicked so we were prompted to pick out a file type. Now the two of us remembered that people had exported the contacts in the comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll through the report on options and located what appeared as if a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). After that it prompted for any file and we browsed on the Desktop and discovered the addresses.csv file created only minutes before, selected to import in to the Contacts folder and waited. Only seconds later it completed so we then clicked on the Contacts in the navigation pane and may see all her contacts from Outlook Express.
