Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook2174442

I had an appointment from your friend recently as she had chose to stop using Outlook Express on her behalf Windows 7 and begin using Microsoft Outlook. One of the primary reasons behind this was to utilise the Calendar and reminders which can be popular features of Microsoft Outlook. Pretty simple task she thought, however when I reminded her concerning the need to transfer all of her messages and contacts, it changed her mind and he or she considered staying with Outlook Express. Well as it ended up, it absolutely was a job that should be planned, but was fairly simple. Firstly, what we did was open up OE (Outlook Express) and from your File menu tab, select Export after which Messages. This may let us export all of her current email, an assortment of messages in her Inbox in addition to hundreds that had been filed away in folders for future reference. Well, once we engaged Export then Messages, Outlook Express prompted us that this process would automatically export the messages to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. Sweet, what exactly we wanted!

The next thing was to export out the contacts so that they could be used in Microsoft Outlook and save all the time keying back those email addresses of friends, family and business acquaintances. Again, it turned out to be easy of deciding on Export in the File menu tab in Outlook Express, however, this time selecting Address Book instead of messages. This described the Address Book Export Tool. Now this brought us with a sudden halt even as we were prompted with two export options. One was to export to a Exchange Personal Address Book as well as the second to some Text File (comma separated values - CSV). Without having Exchange available we selected the next option, closed our eyes thus hitting the Export button. Well we were prompted for a destination for a save the exported CSV, and decided to save it for the Desktop and called it addresses.csv Could all of it be that easy and simple? Now all we wanted to do was open Microsoft Outlook to see what else must be completed. So that's what happened, exposed Microsoft Outlook and voila, all of the messages had been imported into Microsoft Outlook. To make sure we're able to send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook, we needed to go and hang up in the email account details under the Tools menu tab. As we had 'microsoft office' 2007 installed, we selected Account Settings through the Tools menu tab and proceeded to produce a new email account from instructions furnished by her email supplier. Almost all of the details we would have liked might be obtained from back checking the settings from the old Outlook Express program under Tools, Accounts and Mail. Such as her name, email address, incoming and outgoing servers and her email account password. Even as tested sending an e-mail to a friend, we had arrived reminded that we we hadn't imported from the contacts from Outlook Express Login. And then we looked around and found around the File menu tab Import and Export that gave us a selection of actions to execute. The most suitable was Import from another program or file, so that is what we clicked and we were prompted to pick data type. Now we both remembered that people had exported the contacts in the comma separated value file or CSV file, so proceeded to scroll over the list of options and discovered what appeared to be a best match, Comma Separated Values (Windows). It then prompted to get a file and that we browsed to the Desktop and found 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 engaged the Contacts inside the navigation pane and could see all her contacts from Outlook Express.
