Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook7118920

I had created an appointment from a friend a few days ago as she'd made a decision to stop using Outlook Express to be with her Windows 7 and start 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 when I reminded her regarding the have to transfer all of her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and then she considered staying with Outlook Express. Well as it ended up, it had been a job that would have to be planned, but was fairly simple. Firstly, what we did was open OE (Outlook Express) and from your File menu tab, select Export and after that Messages. This would permit us to export all her current email, a variety of messages in her own Inbox in addition to hundreds that had been filed away in folders for future reference. Well, once we visited Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us that this process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, just what we wanted!

The next thing ended up being export out all of her contacts so that they could be employed in Microsoft Outlook and save all the time keying back those email addresses of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it developed into an easy task of deciding on Export in 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 once we were prompted with two export options. One ended up being to export for an Exchange Personal Address Book and also the second to some Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Without having Exchange available we selected the 2nd option, closed our eyes thus hitting the Export button. Well we were prompted for any destination for a save the exported CSV, and thought we would save it for the Desktop and named it addresses.csv Could it all be that simple and simple? Now all we wanted to complete was open Microsoft Outlook and find out what else must be completed. So it is precisely what happened, opened Microsoft Outlook and voila, every one of the messages was imported into Microsoft Outlook. To make certain we will send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, additionally we required to go and set inside the email account details underneath the Tools menu tab. Even as had Ms 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. The majority of the details we needed could possibly be extracted from back checking the settings inside the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. Such as her name, current email address, incoming and outgoing servers and her email account password. Even as we tested sending a message to a friend, we were reminded we had not imported within the contacts from Outlook Express Login. So we looked around determined for the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us an array of actions to complete. The most appropriate was Import from another program or file, so it is precisely what we clicked and we were prompted to pick a file type. Now we both remembered we had exported the contacts in the comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll from the listing of options and located what seemed like a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). It then prompted for a file and now we browsed for the Desktop and located the addresses.csv file created only minutes before, selected to import in the Contacts folder and waited. Only seconds later it completed and that we then made itself known yet the Contacts from the navigation pane and can see the contacts from Outlook Express.
