How to import Outlook Express 6 directories?

I am currently using Outlook Express 6 with Microsoft Office 2003. How to copy the address book in Mozilla?

There is no cut and paste. Simply not possible.
There are a few changes you can make for Thunderbird to use the windows address book. See http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html

Note that the windows address book is stored in a WAB file and you will need to move to a new computer because it does not part of Thunderbird. Later versions of Windows do import the contacts folder to the very simple windows point and click action.

  • I asked how to reinstall Outlook Express

    I asked how to reinstall Outlook Express and got a response that I should go to "Control Panel" and open "add/delete programs" then click on Outlook express, but the problem is that Outlook express is not there. It has been deleted. I get the message "file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized when I try to poen outlook express. I need to reinstall it please help

    This is a false error message.  They got an error message and they used it for everything.  You probably have the corruption of folders.dbx and if you delete and then OE opens fine.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7 , but you may need also some message store corruption and so it would make sense to go to the file. Identities and establish a new identity that will give you a store own message and once works fine, using the file | Import | Messages to get the messages from the old identity.

    In addition, its very important to save your messages in this kind of corruption occurs frequently.

  • How to stop outlook express does not send emails more because of an email earlier had a wrong address

    Sorry if this is an old topic but I can't find any info about it:

    Sending 6 or 7 emails via outlook express, if you have a bad email address none of the sent emails after will go that they all sit in the Outbox queue behind the bad email. is there any how to make outlook express send other emails and just let the bad email? It is very annoying because I don't get to see the real prospects and know its happened when people say that they did not receive the email

    Is the message with the wrong address still in the Outbox?

    It is a question that is more how your ISP handles these messages. Some will accept the message and send you a Mailer Daemon note that the message has been delivered. In this case, it left your Outbox.

    Other service providers Internet will not accept the message to all who let her in your Outbox and blocks all future messages. There is no setting in OE to get around the policy from your ISP.

    Does that help?

  • How to fix Outlook Express icons?

    Outlook Express is still part of IE?  Or should I this post in a forum of WinXP?

    I have OE6 (6.00.2900.5512; xpsp.080413 - 2105) with IE8 (8.0.600.18702) on WinXP SP3.

    Recently, some icons on the toolbar to OE are messy.

    How can I fix that?

    Do not drastic! It is easier than a repair of tent installation a new identity.

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.
