Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook1370305

I had an appointment from the friend a few days ago as she had chose to stop using Outlook Express on her behalf Windows XP and start using Microsoft Outlook. One of the many reasons behind this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders which might be top features of Microsoft Outlook. Really quite simple task she thought, when I reminded her regarding the have to transfer the messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she considered staying with Outlook Express. Along with it been found, it turned out an action that must be planned, but was quite simple. Firstly, what we did was throw open OE (Outlook Express) and in the File menu tab, select Export then Messages. This could allow us export the 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 clicked on Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us that the 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 all her contacts so that they could be used in Microsoft Outlook and save continuously keying back in those contact information of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it turned into a simple task of choosing Export from your File menu tab in Outlook Express, however, this time selecting Address Book rather than messages. This mentioned the Address Book Export Tool. This brought us to a sudden halt once we were prompted with two export options. One was to export to an Exchange Personal Address Book as well as the second to some Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Not having Exchange available we selected the next option, closed our eyes and hit the Export button. We were prompted for any place to save the exported CSV, and chose to save it for the Desktop and named it addresses.csv Could all this be so easy and self-explanatory? Now all we needed to accomplish was open Microsoft Outlook and see what else should be completed. So that's what happened, showed Microsoft Outlook and voila, every one of the messages was imported into Microsoft Outlook. To make sure we will send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, we also necessary to go and set inside the email account details under the Tools menu tab. Even as we had 'microsoft office' 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings through the Tools menu tab and proceeded to create a new email account from instructions furnished by her email company. Most of the details we would have liked could be extracted from back checking the settings inside the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. Such as her name, email address contact information, incoming and outgoing servers and her email account password. Even as we tested sending a contact into a friend, we had been reminded we we hadn't imported in the contacts from Outlook Express Login. Therefore we searched and located on 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 and we were prompted to pick data type. Now we both remembered that individuals had exported the contacts within a comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll through the set of options determined what seemed like a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). Then it prompted for any file and we browsed towards 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 and we then made itself known yet the Contacts within the navigation pane and could see her contacts from Outlook Express.
