Copying Emails And Address From Outlook Express On Xp
Aug 19, 2009
How would I copy e-mails (the actual e-mail file itself) from outlook express on xp over to windows 7 (windows live mail). Also I need to do the same for addresses.
Heres my problem, I have just installed windows seven and had used xp before that. Id always use outlook express for e-mails, along with all the other users. Now I have a user who wants all their e-mails that they've kept (because they liked them), and all there adresses sent to windows 7 in windows live mail. How can I do this?
I have the address book exported and saved on a flash drive, where are the e-mail files kept?
Having successfully moved my address book (.WAB format) to w7 and converted it to .CSV format I can get as far as "Select the Contacts folder that you want to import to" as in the website [URL] but when I click "next" the box is blank where a Contacts folder should be. In outlook 2003 I have some contacts which I added manually to address book so there should be an address book of some sort.
I have over 13 years of Outlook Express folders and addresses that I desperately need to convert to Outlook 2007. I should have imported them into Outlook before I made the "Easy File Transfer" to the new Win 7 machine, but didn't know I needed to do that. Several years ago I had imported the files into Outlook, although that data did transfer it is now way out-of-date and full of duplicates.The up-to-date data is still in my old machine and also in an external hard drive backup. I have isolated the Outlook Express personal folders into .dbx format and the addresses into .wab format.Is there a way this can be reformatted into Outlook? Or is there some other way? I would probably also need to delete what is already in Outlook first, or I would have many more duplicates.
i have just got a new pc with windows 7 on it and have installed office 2007.my old pc was windows xp and outlook express 6
how do i get the emails from my old pc into outlook 2007 on my new pc?i can copy the pst and dbx files but are these the right ones and wht ever i seem to do i can get outlook 2007 to import the emails
I am tring to import my outlook Express Address book to windows 7. It indicated I did indeed imported the files, but They do not show up in my contacts list. I also added my Comcast mail account to the windows mail list and they do not show up there either.
I am trying to move one pst file from one laptop which has Outlook 2010 32 bit to another laptop which has Outlook 2010 64 bit installed, steps taken 1) Copied the pst file from the User/AppData/Microsoft/Outlook folder to usb. 2) Pasted the file from usb into User/Documents folder. 3) Tried to open the file in Outlook and I get the error that Outlook encountered errors while opening the file. Now how is that possible when the file is working perfectly in one laptop but when I copy and paste it into another it gets corrupted? Is it due to 32 bit to 64 bit outlook? I tried to repair it using scanpst and it brought back few mails?
I do not have the new laptop on, it is an expensive paper weight at the moment. None of my XP software works. I loaded MS XP Mode, I was able to load Office 2000, neither Outlook or outlook express work and I dispise MS Mail and all web based mail. None of my CAD programs worked in XP mode. Note: Acer does not have the hardware support. I removed MS XP Mode. Loaded VMware Player with XP Pro,loaded all my programs, copied my old HDD to new files in virtual machine. Setup Office 2000 Outlook and outlook express work perfect as does all office 2000. Cad programs work (or so I thought) I wasted 3 hours designing a generator room in one of my cad programs and all was well till I tried to create a new file on the virtual drive and was unable to. Tried to save my drawing to any file, was not allowed.
Spent the rest of the day re-drawing the generator room on old laptop. Tried all of the things on setting up networking the drives and folders, was still unable to create new file folders or save any new cad files. There is nothing wrong with this old laptop, it is just 6 years old and found a great deal on the Acer. Tried to load XP on a new HDD, that failed (somewhat) after loading and looking at the properties, many drivers were not working. It seems all MFG's are looking to MS to develop their drivers.What else can I try to get XP Mode to work like XPI can not afford to upgrade all my programs and with that, none of my old files would be usable.I use several cad programs daily at the same time as I work on several projects at the same time, plus I do all my own quotes and PO's and send to vendors, plus receive in everything. I have to be able to create new files and save everything I do where I want toThis is also the first time I have used a new OS so soon. I usually give it a few years.I went from 95 2nd Ed to XP all was smooth. Stayed away from ME and Vista like the plague
I am trying to copy an email with pics of my grandson from windows live mail to a usb.All I seem to be able to do is copy to the Library.I found it very easy in XP but I have just replaced the old lap top with a new one
I have an old XP laptop which I was using Outlook Express for one of my mail accounts (a work account). I also ran regular Outlook for another (personal). I want to have both of these accounts on my new PC.
My new PC is running Windows 7 wiht Office 2007. I used the Windows transfer cable and things worked failry well. My regular Outlook files all came over well, but nothing for Outlook Express.
I really would like to take this time to somehow export my OE files into my Outlook 2007. I would really like to keep the account which imported in on Outlook seperate.
Question 1: Is there a way to import my OE files into Outlook 2007?
Question 2: Is there a way to have two seperate email accounts in Outlook without combining them? Basically I want to have a work email and a personal and keep them seperate.
If I can't have two seperate emails with Outlook, can anyone suggest something which would allow me to export my old Outlook (the old personal emails) into another program so that I can at least use my work email on Outlook 2007?
I recently purchased a new computer that has Outlook on it. I need to import my emails and especially my folders from my old computer that has outlook express on it to my new computer that has outlook.I do not have both outlook and outlook express on my new computer.
I just received my new laptop running windows 7 and I installed Outlook Mail 2003. I'm trying to import old outlook express mail (version 6) from my old laptop. Can someone tell me how to do this?
On a related topic. Should I install Outlook 2007 on my computer instead of 2003? I chose the 2003 version as I have read reviews that Office 2007 is no good. I'm asking because I can see Microsoft releasing a new version of Office which would be more compatible 2007 than 2003.
I am about to buy a new computer with Windows 7. On my present computer I use Outlook for personal mail and Outlook Express for online purchases. I understand it costs $200 to get Outlook now and Express is no longer available. What can i get to replace both of these?
Just want to clarify one little item regarding thunderbird backup.I have the mozbackup installed just would like to confirm my setting just for the backup of thunderbird emails,Address book & My settings This my setup,Is it correct or do I need to change some of the check boxes?
I have recently bought a new computer with a Windows 7 operating system. I have a broadband connection to BT which includes Outlook for e-mails. Frankly I like neither of these programs and having used Outlook express for well over 15 years I still think that it is the best and that it is open and has no hidden features.
You can use outlook express in windows 7pro. windows 7 pro allows you to have windows xp mode as a virtual pc, the entire operating system if you wish to install your programs there. Its easy to switch back and forth. I had difficulty connecting till I checked outlook in the exceptions tab on the firewall.
I use 2 different email accounts (with comcast.net) to separate my normal home emails and those serviceing sites like Freecycle. For my home stuff, I use Outlook 2010 which installed fine on Windows 7. Previously in XP I used outlook express for non-home related stuff. This works fine in keeping the two streams of data separated
I have tried to fathom out livemail, and don't like it. Outlook Express ws simple and the best to use imo. Can I install outlook express while using Windows 7 as OS, and how?
is there a place where you can obtain an instruction manual in hard copy for mozilla thunderbird other than printing it from the internet?What is the best alternative for replacing outlook express for people who are not that computer literate?
im trying to email from a web sight it keeps telling me i have no default email i have windows 7 64 bit im not sure what to do or what i need to down load so i can directly email from were i am without having to wright it down aan go to my regular email to send it
is outlook express part of windows 7 ? if not, can i download it from somewhere, free, for use in windows 7 ? if not, can i use outlook ? is outlook free ? if not, how do i acquire it ?
I understand that Outlook Express is not compatible with Widows 7 but is there an email program that is and as easy to use as Express? I don't need all of the bells & whistles that com with MIcrosoft Outlook. All I want is to be able to put in my multible emails and have them all download at the same time when I hit send/receive. Plus (the big plus) an Address Book that is as easy to use as Outlook Express to enter my 100 + names and to build a few groups.
I'm coming from XP (yeah, I'm late to the party) and looking for an email client that isn't too much different in feel from Outlook Express. Windows Live Mail ain't it. Thunderbird looks like a maybe, but there must be better.
