• migration from Outlook Express loses everything after 'group '.

  Hello
  I migrated from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on XP, then moved the files to Windows 8.
  I had a 'group' in my OE address book. Nothing after that that group name (which began with an H) has been migrated to the new address book. In other words, I lost everything after H.

  I also have these contacts on Gmail. Y at - it an easy way recover of EO (I guess I could remove the Group and start over, but it's a long process and I'm afraid to lose the mail I already sent on tuberculosis), or y at - it an easy way to get from gmail?

  Thank you.

  There are several solutions to your problem, which is the best for you which I do not pretend to know.

  There is the possibility of simply to copy the WAB to outlook express for Windows 7 and double click it to him bringing in the windows contacts folder. I have instructions here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html that include the Windows Contacts folder in Thunderbird.

  Alternatively, you can install one of the Add-ons to gmail contact sync. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-contacts

  The automatic import program only works if you have TB and the former program installed on the same computer. If possible, I suggest to install TB on the old computer which currently has Outlook, run the auto import option and then transfer the profile of TB from the old computer to to on the new machine.

  Hi Jerryg,
  After reading your query on how to Outlook Express to convert Thunderbird, I searched on the web. Finally, I have concluded that there is no manual method to convert Outlook Express messages in MBOX file. This process can be done in two phases, which are:

  1 convert DBX file in PST
  2 then convert PST file in MBOX file

• Given the migration from Outlook to Thunderbird. I have several pst files that I want separated in thunderbird, because they are separate files in Outlook.

  I have several (about 12) PSTs in Outlook, each more than 500 MB. I want to migrate to Thunderbird, but don't want all merged in a database of wholesale Thunderbird pst files. Is this possible? Currently I use rules to move messages from the Inbox Outlook in those separate pst files, based on the subject. Also, I drag messages into my Inbox in these separate files for archival purposes, which preserves values my 'active' main email box.
  Thank you
  John

  Let's start from the beginning. Thunderbird has a single file by file. From the next release (about a month) you will be able to have a file by email.

  There is nothing in Thunderbird as a PST file. So before you start, you have to accept the changes in mind that goes with mail. Records are the only delimiter in Thunderbird. You do not get to attach and detach folders or files. They are in Thunderbird or deleted.

• try to migrate from dell laptop windows 7 for Mac Lion Fusion 5

  I managed to install a virtual maching runing windows 7, but when I try to migrate using the IP address, I get the message following "Migration converter cannot connect to the remote computer" that the two computers are on the same network.

  Also tried to use the code of access but execution in an other error message.

  Don't forget: the windows OEM licenses cannot be legally virtualized.

  And since you can buy a license anyway, you had better build a VM from scratch - convert VM (especially of the pc vendors) is swollen and unstable.

  If you do not need to convert (and have a way to get a legal license) using the standalone vmware converter and build the virtual machine on an external drive connected to the PC.

  You don't offer a lot of information and a new thread of your own would have been better than locking it.
   
  Do you have an error message when you try to send? If so, post it. If this is not the case, make sure that there are no messages in the Outbox.
   
  If there is, check: file | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. You can remove them now?
   
  If this isn't the case, create a new Outbox.
   
  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, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

• How to move emails from Outlook Express 6 to a CD for access later?

  Want to move the emails within a particular folder on a CD and be able to access it when necessary.  If I want to copy the whole .dbx file to the CD can remove the file from Outlook Express/computer?  Thank you in advance.

  If you copy the dbx file, you will need to put in the OE message store to read the messages. Copy the messages themselves.

  Create a folder on your desktop or elsewhere, then in Outlook Express open the folder with the messages you want to save. Highlight a message, and then Ctrl + A will highlight all (or Ctrl-button down while you select only messages you want), now, drag and drop them into the folder on your desktop.

  Now you can copy this folder to a CD and you'll be able to read the messages on the CD by double-clicking them.

  You can see the messages with the same subject get attached, probably with (1), (2), etc. One of these programs may be useful for you. Take a look and decide.

  DBXtract:

  OEX:

  You can still drag the messages in a folder in OE, if necessary.

• migration of Outlook Express email in windows mail (windows 7)

  Recently bought a new laptop with windows 7, now facing a big problem.

  I works on Outlook Express in Windows XP in my computer earlier and have loads of data in her e-mail. After buying the new notebook with windows 7 without knowing the fact that Windows 7 does not support Outlook Express, I'm now completely stuck, helpless and I have no way instead of continuing my use of my old notebook with Windows XP to access my emails in Outlook Express as I take references for old mails unlike the response.

  I have done the back up of my Outlook Express and copied in Windows mail in Windows 7 laptop, but it didn't work...

  Kindly help me in migrating Outlook Express emails to Windows 7 with the steps that is the big question of mine.

  I would be grateful if someone revert soon.

  You try to use Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail? If the latter...

  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.

• Windows 8 - since previous import of old emails from Outlook Express

  My old computer with XP died and my other uses Windows 8, and I am on a steep learning curve.  I had saved my email on a portable hard drive, and it is stored as .dbx files.   Y at - it an equivalent of Outlook Express in Windows 8, and/or sort I can download these files in order to access all my old messages (in and out) and email addresses.  Help!

  As you know by now, my colleague has given you a bit of a "bum steer", Hazel.

  While you can not import Outlook Express (OE) in the Mail of Win8 application data, you may be able to import the data to backup OE (DBX files) in Windows Live Mail (2011 or 2012) as long as the backup contains a file named RECORDS. DBX. Assuming that to do this, follow these steps:

  1 download/install Windows [Live] Essentials 2012 via this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/essentials-home

  NOTE: When you install either version, there is an option to install only the applications that you want (for example, Windows Live Mail;) Windows/Movie Maker photo gallery) or the entire suite (includes also Windows Writer, SkyOneDrive, etc..).

  2. Once you've got Windows Live Mail installed, create a new folder on the desktop (call, for example, the DBX FILES for convenience) & place a copy of your DBX backup set (i.e., all your files DBX including RECORDS.) DBX !!) in this folder.

  3 VERY IMPORTANT! => open the folder that you created in step 2 above. Select all the [CTRL + A] as all the DBX files are highlighted. Right click on the folder group. Select PROPERTIES and uncheck the READ ONLY box (assuming that this is already done).

  4. open Windows Live Mail & run the hotkey ALT + F | Select import messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and point the Import Wizard to the folder created in step 2 above & click OK

  The imported data (files) will be located as subfolders in Windows Live Mail imported files as shown in the figure below:

  

  Once your OE messages were imported, they can (a) stay at this place, (b) be moved folder to created by the user in the storage of files (by the above illustration) or (c) be moved to a folder created by the user in an e-mail account (other than a Hotmail account) you set up in Windows Live Mail (i.e., to access your new messages).

  [By designed, Windows Live Mail creates a folder structure for each email account unique. or moved to the folder created by the user in the storage files.]

  To get instructions on the practice (b) or (c) above, see the bottom half of the blog post from my colleague of Windows Live Mail MVP most of what precedes is based (if not shamelessly copy/paste)-online http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/migrating-messages-in-accounts-from-outlook-express-to-windows-live-mail/

  [Actually, I'm going to ask him to review/critique my answer in case I may have made a blunder!]

  Go away, you will find support for Windows Live Mail in these forums: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail

  Good luck!
