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:

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.

  • How can I get my emails in Outlook Express on my Windows 7 PC?

    Outlook Express email

    I recently changed computers because my old hard drive crashed.  Now I have Windows 7 and cannot access my emails that were in Outlook Express, because it is no longer available.  How can I get my emails in Outlook Express?  They are important!

    You can get details on the import process in the Windows Live Mail here forum: www.windowslivehelp.com , but you need to find and save the old disk dbx files.  You can get an envelope to connect the drive to the new PC and copy the old dbx files, or you can have a tech company such as Best Buy do it for you.  They will be hidden so you must enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View and also uncheck the option there to hide the extensions of the types of known files so you can better distinguish the files.  Once you find them, copy them to a subdirectory of the Office of the Win7 machine and then check the properties of the files to ensure that they are not read-only.  Then you can import them into WLM, I hope, and if not, you can get a program to extract messages and then drag them into the folders of WLM.

    Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) to any location on your HARD drive that is easy for you. The office is very well. Then drag that to the flash drive.

    In IE: File | Import and export | Export to a file. Check Favorites | Next | Next | Navigate to a folder or the desktop and export. Drag the folder in the flash player.

    For photos, just right-click on the folder and drag it to the USB and copy here.

  • How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

    This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
     
    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.
     

     
     
  • Outlook express 6 in windows xp slow at the reception of the mail how to fix

    my outlook express 6 in windows xp is very slow in receving mail. It seems to take up to an hour to receive messages, that I even go to the icon that says send/receive, and then click on that and it shows a little fill a box, then when it is filled with arrow says disconnect and I don't know where my mail went. How can I fix it

    Do a household.

    1: do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    2: after you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    3: disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    For some programs, turning it off is not enough. You may need to uninstall and reinstall in custom Mode and remove the analysis when e-mail messages.

  • How can I create a junk mail folder so I can watch the outlook express emails is filter

    Laina

    I have run outlook express for my e-mail but don't have a junk folder; That's why I don't get e-mails I want; How can I create a junk mail folder so I can watch the e-mail program's filter? Thank you!

    OE downloads the messages from the server and has no capability of blocking incipient unless you set rules for such.  So if you get any messages, they are likely in junk e-mail on the server (that OE does not have access to) and you must go to Webmail to access the server, then you can go to the Junk folder and find messages that you do not receive.  OE has no control over the filtering server - you can adjust on the server via webmail.

  • 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.

    S

    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

  • Problems with Outlook Express 6 in Windows XP

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    My friend has problems with his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP computer.

    He has saved all his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 e-mail messages.

    There are 2 e-mails corrupt in its Outlook Express 6 Inbox folder; He tried opening and remove these 2 emails corrupted in the Inbox folder, which causes the Outlook Express 6 program stops responding and freeze-up Windows XP. He had to click the end task to close immediately the program Outlook Express 6 is not responding in Windows Task Manager.

    It won't reinstall Windows XP on his computer from scratch.

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    Same question as above, except the deleted items that is now corrupted. Follow the instructions above, but this time remove Remove Items.dbx with OE closed.

    With all the corruption, you might want to consider a new identity that will give you all the new dbx files and a new registry hive.

    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.

  • Why Outlook Express "Identities Login" window launch daily by itself?

    I am running XP SP3 and Office 2007. My computer is always turned on. I no longer use Outlook Express as an email client, but I've had multiple "identities" put in place due to several e-mail accounts for businesses. I now only use e-mail via a web browser. I also installed Norton 360 Internet protection suite. Daily Outlook Express "Identities Login" window is launched by itself. It also no longer displays the normal Outlook Express ICON on the taskbar button. Instead, it displays a different ICON which resembles something of Norton 360 can display, but they can't explain it.

    Can someone tell me why this window would launch itself every day? It doesn't look like the PC is to be restarted because the other windows that should be present are not there. I have turned off the file msmsgs.exe from running at startup, but this does not seem to stop him. Someone at - it help him? Thank you.

    Norton and OE never got along (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and it's probably Norton that causes the problem, even if their population do not know on this subject.  (This is a horrible program to install on your computer, because it generates problems of electronic mail and also slows down the machine a lot.  I would like to get something much less invasive, for example www.microsoft.com/security_essentials) If you use OE, then go and delete the accounts and identities and then it shouldn't bother you more.   You can also go to start | Run and type msconfig and disable startup items which can be access trigger OE to open.

  • I can't delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts.

    Outlook Express for email
     
    Hi all. I am running Microsoft Windows XP on my computer. I use Outlook Express for e-mail. Currently, I'm unable to delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts. Everyone knows about this problem? All proposed solutions?

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close 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.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
