Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook4290062

I had an appointment coming from a friend yesterday as she'd chose to stop using Outlook Express to be with her Microsoft windows and commence using Microsoft Outlook. One of many reasons for this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders which are features of Microsoft Outlook. Simple task she thought, however when I reminded her regarding the must transfer all her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and she or he considered staying with Outlook Express. Along with it ended up, it turned out an activity that would have to be planned, but was quite easy. Firstly, that which you did was throw open OE (Outlook Express) and in the File menu tab, select Export and after that Messages. This might let us export all of her current email, a combination of messages in their own Inbox and also hundreds that had been filed away in folders for future reference. Well, when we clicked on Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us the process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, what exactly we wanted!

Step 2 would have been to export out all her contacts so that they could possibly be employed in Microsoft Outlook and save on a regular basis keying back in those emails of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it turned out to be an easy task of deciding on Export from your File menu tab in Outlook Express, but this time selecting Address Book as opposed to messages. This brought up the Address Book Export Tool. Now this brought us to a sudden halt once we were prompted with two export options. One ended up being export with an Exchange Personal Address Book and also the second to some Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Lacking Exchange available we selected the next option, closed our eyes thus hitting the Export button. We were prompted for a spot to save the exported CSV, and thought we would save it for the Desktop and referred to it as addresses.csv Could all this be that easy and self-explanatory? Now all we wanted to perform was open up Microsoft Outlook and see what else should be completed. So that's what happened, showed Microsoft Outlook and voila, each of the messages was imported into Microsoft Outlook. To make sure we will send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, we also needed to go and set the email account details within the Tools menu tab. Even as we had Ms office 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings in the Tools menu tab and proceeded to generate a new email account from instructions given by her email company. A lot of the details we would have liked may be obtained from back checking the settings within the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. These included her name, email, incoming and outgoing servers and her email password. Even as tested sending a message to some friend, we were reminded that we hadn't imported in the contacts from Outlook Express Login. Therefore we searched determined around the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us a variety of actions to perform. The best choice was Import from another program or file, so it is exactly what we clicked so we were prompted to pick out folders type. Now the two of us remembered that individuals had exported the contacts in a comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll with the listing of options and located what appeared as if a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). It then prompted for any file and we browsed for 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 visited the Contacts inside the navigation pane and can see the contacts from Outlook Express.
