Import emails and contacts from a .pst file

my computer crashed and I was using old microsoft outlook. I have a carbonite .pst file ready to import into Thunderbird but I cannot figure out how to do it because I do not have microsft outlook on this new computer. Only the carbonite file.

It is not at all difficult to have mutiple mail accounts in Outlook (though you may only have a single Exchange account).  The OST file is only for offline sync of a mailbox ("Cached Exchange Mode") and should only exist on portable machines that need to access existing mail without having access to the Exchange server (eg, read and reply to mail on an airplane).
As to why he has outside email synced to the computer, he's the CEO.  You wanna tell him no?  I would love to, but such a thing would get me fired.
It does make sense that the sync of calendars and contacts doesn't affect mail, but it's not completely correct.  The default data file chosen for mail delivery is the data file iTunes chooses to sync contacts with; thus, it absolutely does affect mail delivery.
Please stop referring to the OST file as a mail destination - it is not, and cannot be.  The default mail delivery destination is currently the PST file, which allows him to sync his contacts and calendars from that same PST file but removes mail from the Exchange server and deposits it in the PST.  If I change the default delivery location back to his Exchange mailbox, his mail goes to the correct place, but he loses access to the PST's contacts and calendar from his phone.

  • How do I import email and contacts from windows 8 mail to thunderbird

    Hi there,
    I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail app. However, it is very basic so I am keen to switch to Thunderbird. However, I cannot find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird from Windows 8 Mail.
    There seems to be no export option on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an Import option but this is not able to locate the Windows 8 mail files.
    There doesn't appear to be answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The Win 8 Mail app is usually associated with a hotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, set it up as an IMAP account:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998184#answer-566746
    To import the contacts, open the account from the web page, export the contacts as a csv file, and follow the instructions here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012084#answer-607601
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
    Since hotmail/outlook accounts automatically copy sent messages to the Sent folder, uncheck "Place a copy in.." under Tools/Account Settings/<i>hotmailaccount</i>/Copies & Folders.

  • Cannot Import Email and Folders from Outlook for Mac 2011

    After downloading Lion, I could not import emails and folder structure from Outlook for Mac 2011.

    You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
    Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

  • Import Mail and Contacts, from Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email to New iPad Air

    Just got a New iPad Air, and I want to import all of my email & contacts (email addresses) from a Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email program.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you in advance!

    Do you have all messages left on the server? Then you can simply set-up your Gmail account as IMAP account.

  • How to transfer all emails and contacts from Outlook Express to Outlook 2010

    I have just done this and believe me it was a bit of a marathon! Microsoft tell you that you need to have both Outlook Express and Outlook 2010 running on the same machine. If, like me, your Outlook 2010 in running on a Windows 7 platform there is a problem.
    Until now I have been using Outlook Express on a Desktop running XP Pro. It has Outlook 2007 but it won’t run owing to a corrupted file. I set up my email account on an old XP laptop which has Outlook 2007. This is how I transferred emails between 2 machines
    running Outlook Express:
    After setting up the account (on the old laptop) I created sub-folders exactly the same as my existing account. Having got some emails in the inbox I made sure that each new sub-folder contained at least one random email simply by drag and drop. It seems to
    validate the folders. I then copied the folders from the maintenance directory on the desktop (you find this under Tools – Options – Maintenance) and pasted them into the equivalent folder on the this old laptop so they overwrote those present. I transferred
    the contacts simply using Export – Address Book using a csv file. I then set up the email account in Outlook 2007 on the old laptop and ran an import from Outlook Express which was fine as per Microsoft’s instructions. On that machine I then exported to a
    backup pst file which I transferred to my new Windows 7 machine and imported successfully into Outlook 2010. Perhaps there are easier ways but at least it worked!

  • Can Thunderbird import emails and folders from AOL??

    I still use AOL Desktop 9.6 on windows XP. I would like to use Thunderbird instead but will it import my 'Saved on PC' in several folders, 'Old' and 'Sent emails? I experimented on a Mac with Apple Mail.app and found that it automatically imported all the old and sent emails from a Comcast account that had only ever been used with the webmail. My AOL emails could be imported from my PC or AOL's servers. I would really like to get rid of the AOL desktop software as it often runs several instances of Aolsoftware.exe process and slows down the computer. Thanks.

    AOl is an IMAP mail provider, so simply adding your account to Thunderbird will see your mail downloaded from all folders.

  • Clearing Old Emails and Contacts

    I have an old Bold 9870 and now use a Z10. I need to clear all the emails and contacts from the Bold so I can load a new Sim and let someone else use the phone. I cannot see how to clear all the emails from the server or how to prevent the new user reading all my emails and coantacts.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Many thanks Steve

    You'll need to do a security wipe on the phone. 
    On your homescreen, follow Options>Security>Security Wipe OR Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running. Once on the Security Wipe page, follow the instructions to clear the phone of all personal data.
    Let us know if that helps you.

  • Importing emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage

    I've been trying to find a way to import emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage to mail. I want to change accounts so I can eventually use mobileme in the office I'm working at but don't want to have to go through the arduous process of having to copy everything manually into mail.
    Has anyone found a fool-proof way of doing this yet ?
    Thanks & cheers, Jan

    Just imported everything myself for Entourage X a few weeks ago.
    iCal will directly import Entourage's calendar.
    Address book can be done to ways. In Entourage, open Address book, under the file tab select export contacts. This will save a .txt file on the desktop which can be imported by mail. Another way is to create a folder on the desktop, then highlight and drag all Entourage contacts to the folder which can also be imported. Either way, if you have more than one email address per contact, you may have to cut and paste those manually.
    Mail will import email from Entourage directly. I had to import several times to get everything. In Mail under the File Tab, just click import mailboxes and select Entourage. Another window will open and you are able to pick which Entourage folders to import. All are selected initially.
    As far as signatures, you most likely will need to cut and paste those manually.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!
