Show to move the address book of XP to Vista

I have an address book that I used for several years.  It is on a XP computer.  I'm trying to move the address information to a vista computer.  I copied the file .dat to addresses from the XP computer on Vista computer, but the data was not updated.   Is the store program data in a different location on a vista computer?

You can not just move the data files.  XP uses the address book but Vista with Contacts.  However, it can be imported/exported.  Here is the procedure: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-export-or-change-the-format-for-contacts.

Indeed, open address book under XP and use the export function, save as comma seperated text CSV file extension, and then import into Vista contacts (or open Contacts in Vista and allows importing function, save as comma-delimited extension CSV text file, then import them into address book of XP).  It is easy just follow the instructions in the link above.

I hope this helps.

  • I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

    I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

  • Can not get the address book to display the email addresses of the contacts

    I moved BT mail using Thunderbird to access my emails. Everything went OK, until I tried to import my
    contacts. I can't get my address book to display the email addresses of the contacts. I will admit that I do not understand the menu you want to move the two columns from top to bottom after importing the csv file. Please can you explain what I'm doing wrong here. All I want is first name, last name and email showing in the address book. Thank you

    I tried to write a procedure to http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html some time ago here. but the thing is if you change the columns in the CSV file in a spreadsheet, first match that Thunderbird expected (both in name and order), then you don't need to play with this terrible UI that aligns with the name of the field name of the field.

    It is in this dialogue if you have the family name next to the e-mail address of the family name is considered to be the email address.

  • How to open the address book in the address book already used?

    Previous versions of ThunderBird would open for the last opened address book address books. Now, it always opens to the gathered addresses. Can I make it open to the specific address book that I used last time?

    If you use the latest version 38.2.0
    Previously, the 'address book' would always open on the default "personal address book" value as it was the top of the list.

    Then, after many requests by a group of people who wanted to be able to search all their address books in a go, a virtual address book called "All address books" was created.

    This meant it would always default to opening on the ' address books all the "whenever you opened the 'address book' even in the same session of thunderbird.
    A bug request has been filed requesting the opportunity to be able to establish a default address book of choice, and it is developing.

    At the same time, we discovered that the window 'write' Contacts Sidebar me remember a selected address book providing Thunderbird had not been closed - only not forget in this session. Thus, they are also looking to set a default address for this as well, so that Contacts sidebar does not auto by default to "All address books" every time thunderbird is closed and the end of the session.

    The ' address books all the ' currently showing all of all your books address including "collected addresses".

  • How can I get the address book to always open with personal addresses. It opens with "all address books.

    When addressing and e-mail, addresses always open with "all the address book. This book contains many addresses which are not intended for daily use for most of the mail I write or pass. I want to always open with "Personal address book" to shorten the research process. I have not had any problems with this before the last update.

    Firefox does not have email or have an address book, it is strictly a web browser.

    If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let know us and we can move this thread to the queue of Thunderbird. This issue is currently in the queue of Firefox to get answers.

  • The address book for email is all over that I can't do anything with it, why?

    There is no Toolbox at the top to let me add new contacts and now addresses that I received from my email do not yet show upwards and no way to get them back?

    Hi iklabunde,
    I assume you are using Windows 7 or 8/8.1 and have a recent version of Thunderbird, or the latest version.

    There seems to be two parties to your problem.
    (1) I guess you lost your bar menu and your toolbar of the address book which is usually at the top of the address book window.
    Try this. Open the address book. If it is already open, click on the window to make it active. Press the ALT key, then let go. The menu bar should appear. However, it is not permanent yet. Click on the Menu display-toolbars bar to make it permanent. Then click on Tools-Address Book display-toolbars toolbar for your tools for adding new contacts to show.

    (2) I also guess that you can't see the e-mail addresses, you may have access in the past.
    Try this. Click on view-page-directory component. A group of experts is expected to open to the left which has your different address books. Click on each of them in turn, and you should see your e-mail addresses reappear at some point.

    Hope this helps,
    Norio
