  • Cannot import Outlook pst file. How can I get permission to access the file?

    Outlook does not import a pst file that is checked on a DVD file.  Says I don't have permission to access the file.  What can get the permission to modify the file archived for read-only?

    Outlook needs read/write access to PST files. Write access is not possible if the file is located on an optical disc.

    Copy the file on your hard disk, and then import it.

    Windows Mail is unable to import a .pst file if Outlook is installed on the Vista computer. You can install Outlook, copy the PST on the Vista computer, open the .pst with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.

  • How can I transfer outlook express files from windows XP to windows 7 on my new laptop?

    I was able to transfer my address book, but unable to transfer my e-mail files express outlook my desktop (Windows XP) to my laptop (windows7).  I used an easy transfer cable, but have all the files I wanted.

    The transfer is easy, but you fail to mention what e-mail program you use. Windows 7 does not have a mail client included as OE in XP.
     
    If you use Windows Live Mail, so I'd say do this way.
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.
     
    WLMail specific help, please use this forum.

  • Clogging network Outlook .pst files

    Hi, we have a virtualized environment by which some VDI have been created to accommodate Windows 7 and there is a storage server resides on a different server hardware. The problem is when a user opens Outlook and downloads its .pst file from the storage server (quite large, approximately 500 MB), the rest of the users were almost impossible to download their bandwidth because network is virtually taken over by the first user. Is there a way for Outlook perform a kind of network optimization so as not to create a congestion on the network (perhaps by some sort of file compression, for example)?

    Or if anyone has tried running the storage server on the same server where the rest of the resident VDI? If yes then there is an improvement in this regard?

    Hi Raven,

    Welcome to the Community Forums of Microsoft, you have any questions about storage server. I suggest you to report the issue in the Technet forum for assistance:
