Transfer emails from outlook 2003 on xp to windows live on Windows 7

Anyone know how to transfer old emails and contacts in outlook 2003 on xp computer to a new computer using windows live mail on windows 7.  Unit XP will not let me copy the PST to outlook, continued to give me 'path not found' or something like that.  Nothing on the new computer (windows 7) seems to be able to read pst file.

I don't think that Windows Live Mail would be able to import data from the OL If OL has not been installed on Win7 computer.

That said, Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. You will find public support for Windows Live Mail in this discussion group: microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

  • Migrate emails from Outlook 2003 to Windows 7 Live Mail - without using OE6

    I upgraded that computer from Vista to Windows 7 64 bit. I have decided to switch from Outlook 2003 to Windows Live Mail, but cannot find a way to export my old mails from Outlook to WinMail. I read it online through Outlook Express 6 as an intermediary, but when I tried, it turns out that you can not install OE6 on a 64-bit computer.

    So I am at a loss. How can I move my old mails from Outlook 2003 to WinMail?

    You are welcome!  Outlook Express is part of Windows XP, so do not install it.  Here are the highlights:

    1. start Outlook, import the .pst file, quit Outlook.
    2. start Outlook Express, import messages from Outlook, close Outlook Express.
    3. copy the Outlook Express store folder in Windows 7.  To find its location, click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .
    4. start Windows Live Mail, import messages from the Outlook Express store folder.

    I think that this will pick up all accounts.

  • How can I transfer emails from Outlook to Outlook Express

    I copied a few personal emails from my Outlook system at work. I did it by copying them on a USB stick and I think I must have used the tool "export". Now I want to put on my Outlook Express system at home, but I'm now sure how I can do this. I thought that I could use the tool "Import" but when I go to that there is no installation, as far as I can see, to import from a file and when I tried to import e-mails from Outlook, he said that this action was not possible. Help please! Thanking you in advance.

    Outlook must be on the same machine as the OE for import/export of work.
     
    Assuming that you still have access to work email, create a windows desktop folder. Open an Outlook folder and drag the messages into the folder on the desktop. (They will always remain in Outlook).
     
    Copy this folder on your computer, open it and drag the messages into a folder in OE.

  • Error: "some errors have occurred during the processing of requested tasks". Sending emails from Outlook Express

    Original title: Repetitivet sending emails from Outlook Express

    When sending emails from my Outlook Express , the following occurs:

    (1) as usual, send the message falls into my Outbox and begins to be sent.

    (2) when the message was sent, I get a message that "some errors occurred while processing requested tasks" but no actual errors are displayed.

    (3) the sent items folder does not show that a message has been sent... but a message has been sent.

    (4) the original message remains in my Outbox and will be sent over and over again.

    As you can imagine, it's a very embarrassing problem.  All suggestions are welcome, but please keep the instructions clear and simple.

    Ed *.

    Hello

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed on your computer? To work on this question, see these steps.

    It seems that there is a corruption of dbx file.

    I suggest you go over your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Reference:

    (a) click onTools

    (b) thenOptions

    (c) selectMaintenance

    (d) Record Store will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files.

    (e) Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste to start and select 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

    Reference:

    (a) clickStart

    (b) Control Panel

    (c) Folder Options icon

    (d) notice, or in Windows Explorer

    (e) Tools

    (f) the Folder Options

    ( viewof g).

    With Outlook Express closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them. New ones will be created automatically when you open Outlook Express.

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

    Reference:

    (a) clickOutlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open.

    (b) click onthe file

    (c) work offline (or double click working online in the status bar).

    (d) file

    (e) file

    (f) compact all folders. Wait for the compaction to complete.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    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 about a300 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

    Compact often as specified above.

    Reference:

    (a) in the Tools

    (b) selectOptions

    (c) maintenance:

    (d) uncheck Compact messages in the background and leave it unchecked. (N/a if running XP/SP2).

    And backup often.

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
     
    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.

    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:

    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.

    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.

    (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.
