Today’s blog is part of a continued discussion on how to migrate your Outlook Express to Windows Mail. This is necessary if you’re using Outlook Express in Windows XP and you’d like to migrate your info to a new Windows Vista computer that has Windows Mail on it. The process is not just a one-shot import, and you’re done. Yesterday’s blog discussed migrating over just the e-mails. Today, we’ll discuss importing over the contacts.
Here’s how to import Outlook Express contacts into Windows Mail:
- In Outlook Express, click File->Export and select Address Book->Text File (Comma Separated Values)->Export
- Choose where you want to save the exported file. The desktop is a wise choice out of easy accessibility.
- The CSV Export windows will open. Select all the fields to ensure everything will be saved. Click Finish.
- Copy the .csv file on your desktop or if saved elsewhere, and paste it in on your Windows Vista computer somewhere you’ll remember.
- Open Windows Contacts, found in Start->All Programs
- Click Import->select .csv (Comma Separated Values)->select your .csv file
The tech support level on this contacts migration is easy to moderate. You can always track down an NYC email expert if you need further help. Tomorrow’s blog will discuss the last piece of migration info: the calendar.
