  • How to import my address book from Outlook?

    I have Windows 7 and Outlook on the same hard drive in Linux

    Hi, please find a manual to export the contacts here at Microsoft:

    https://support.Office.com/en-us/article/export-contacts-625336d9-14e2-49a8-909D-02648989e4f0

    Although I would export it to a csv file, but the other Type with separators.
    After saving the file, you can import them into Thunderbird:
    Open Thunderbird, go to the address book, choose 'Tools', 'Import', choose "Address books", choose "Text file", click on 'Next' and after importing, click on "Finish".

    That should do it.

  • Outlook Express 6: can't open the address book

    All OK when the computer was turned off last night, Outlook Express now has the message "unable to open the address book. The address book may not be installed correctly "." I can also now send messages.

    I tried to reinstall IE8 on homepage without success.

    Help please.

    One of those should look exactly like the one you use. You can use one of the others? If you can, you have to export it to the desktop and then import it into the new identity. If it looks good, remove the other walid that you just found.

    In one of the ABs you found: file | Export | Address book (wab) on the desktop. Then, open the address book in the new identity and file | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where it was saved.

    Reset.

  • Outlook - can not see contacts in the address book.

    I lost the address book in Outlook (Office 2007) when I migrated from Vista to Windows 7, I use Outlook as my e-mail program. I checked that the address book is enabled but I can't select the check in contacts in the properties box that says "show this folder as an e-mail address book", it is grayed out. I also tried adding an entry in the address book, and he came with a message to add a PAB file to your profile in the account settings. I've added as a PAB file under the data files - still does not work.

    Beef 80070021 which says that the files are either locked by another program. I just put all these contacts on iPhone.  What should I do to fix this?

    This problem is caused by a MS Outlook Add In which prevents closing Outlook. Add in that is usually responsible for cauysing this problem is one that search/indexing of the tool. The remedy is very simple:

    (i) with Outlook open, go to Tools Menu
    (ii) click on "Trust Center".
    (iii) in the left pane, choose Add-Inns, and then near the lower part of the window, you will see a button that allows you to manage your COM Add-Ins.

    (v) select Windows 'Search Email an indexer' and then click 'remove '.
    (vi) click OK, and then close Outlook.
    (vii) re - open Outlook and run the backup. (The program will tell you that Outlook must close the first before saving). Everything should be OK.

  • in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

    In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.
