Getting my contacts from outlook express

Pardon my ignorance, but as I newbie to the iPhone I am stumbling my way along. I thought I had it figured out on how to tranfer my contacts from my outlook express on my PC, but appearently not. Upon further inspection I notice that iTunes is trying to sync contacts and calendars with "outlook" but sync mail accounts from "outlook express". It doesn't even recognise that outlook express exists for contacts or for calendars. How can I work around this, or convince iTunes to import everything from outlook express? thanks........Travis

Yeah, Sync contact with "outlook" is checked. All contacts is selected.
Sync calendar with "outlook" is checked. All calendars is selected.
Sync mail accounts from "outlook express" is selected and both email accounts are checked.
I have nothing checked in the bottom 2 fields the other that says "other" or "advanced"

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!

You can directly do the same, visit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/196215 to know the steps.

Export Phone Contacts from Outlook Express to Noki...

I exported the phone contacts using the Nokia Suite to Outlook Express. But how do I import it back to my phone from Outlook Express ?
Thanks

If Outlook Express provides for exporting contacts in vCard format, you can send all contacts as vCard attachments to a message sent to an email account you access with the Mail.app. Save the vCard attachments from the message to a created folder on the Desktop and then use the Address Book import feature selecting vCards.
If OE does not provide for exporting contacts in vCard format, it should provide for exporting contacts as a tab-delimited text file.
The Tiger Address Book includes a Text File import selection/option.

Transfer contacts from Outlook Express

I'd like to transfer contacts from my Outlook Express on my PC to a hard drive to my Address book and Mail on my MacBook. I tried exporting the Comma Seperated Values file, but the mac does not recognize it. One tutorial said to transfer vCards, but I don't know how to do that. I recieved an email on how to do it from apple support, but I deleted the file.

How do I sync my contacts from outlook express to my i pod touch?

I would like to be able to read and send emails from my ipod. I am with shaw.ca Outlook Express. I figured out how to load my email address in to seetings but I want my contacts there-how do I sync those in?

Iassume you are using Windows SP. if so you can Windows Mail (not Windows Live Mail). You can import your Outlook Express contacts into Windows Mail Contacts. Windows Mail Contacts will sync with your iPod.

Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000. I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall. No luck. The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export. Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point. The calader would be nice too! Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Conversion from Outlook Express to Apple mail.

I just bought an IMac. Fine, but how do I transfer all my mail history and contacts from Outlook Express to Apple mail?

Try using a search engine with the following: outlook express to apple mail
There are several programs that can do this for you.
On a 4 year old discussion, I read if you have the Outlook Express data file, you can directly import the data.

Outlook Express accesses an address book app called Windoze Contacts for contact info, which the iPad supports syncing contacts with. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.

Important contacts list from Outlook Express

I am struggling to figure out how to import our contacts list from Outlook Express into iTunes so that we can then move them onto our new ipad mini. Whatever step(s) am I missing? Thank you & standing by.......

I can't find any documentation but I want to remember that iTunes doesn't work with outlook express.
if it is an option, you get your contacts on by connecting your device, opening iTUnes, navigating to the 'info' tab (the name did change but basically it's the tab to set up the e-mail, notes, etc that you sync)
If express is an option you'll see it listed as a choice.
If it's not then you can always mail your contacts out of outlook, open that mail on your iPad and save them from there. I had to do it once and I could only figure out how to do it one at a time but there may be a better way.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
A lot more detail is needed to understand your issue...for instance:
Your specific BB Model
Your specific BB OS (all 4 octets)
Your DTM version (again, 4 octets)
Your PC PIM version
Your PC OS version
Good luck and let us know!
