How do I transfer my Outlook Express emails (dvx files) to a program on my iMac?

I have my old Outlook Express emails on a flash drive in hidden files (dbx) and would like to at least be able to read those files.  I have Thunderbird on new Mac as well as apple Mail.  I do not have Outlook.  Is there a way I can convert the dbx files to .mbox files?  Or at least be able to read the dbx files or transfer into THunderbird?  I have googled this until I am crazy.

Actually those .DBX files are just Text files that can be opened with any Text Editor like Text Edit app.
Not sure about how to get them into Thunderbird. The place to ask that would be over at the Mozilla Thunderbird support forum.

    Hi.
    Does this laptop come with Windows 7 by any chance ?
    Outlook Express has been replaced with Windows Mail, and is pretty much very similar in use. Indeed there is even an enhanced version called Windows Live Mail. See :-
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Where-is-Outlook-Express
    Depending on if you wish to stick with what you know, there are other mail clients worth thinking about - e.g. Thunderbird

  • How can I sync Outlook Express email with Nokia 58...

    Hello -
    I'd like to know if/how I can sync my works outlook express emails with my nokia 5800?  Not via a web browser but setting up the sync in the messages area.  All the sites/manuals I've searched are too vague and don't seem to offer any explanations on what I need to do specifically for outlook.
    Can anyone help?
    Many Thanks

    In general you don't sync with a mail client's local message store (such as the Outlook Express message store on your Work PC).  You generally sync to a mail server.
    So what you can do is find out which server your Outlook Express mail client is configured for on your PC, and then use the same server settings on your Nokia Phone.
    For further questions, you may want search in, and post to the Mail, Messaging & Browsing discussion forum.

  • Transfer outlook express email to outlook

    Hello, I have just become a new Mac user and would like to transfer my email from Outlook express on my old PC to Outlook on my new Mac. What is the best way to do this?

    The best way is to use Windows Migration Assistant on the PC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US It will transfer your Outlook Express messages and accounts to your Mac.
    Note that if you have already set up your computer, Migration Assistant will create a new user with the data. To access to this user, go to  > Log Out, and log in the new account. OS X will ask you what account you want to use every time you start up the iMac

  • Why will links in Outlook Express emails no longer open a tab in Firefox?

    Before firefox update, when I clicked a web link in an Outlook Express email, Firefox would automatically open and go to the correct website. This no longer happens. Where do I change the settings?

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
    You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
    If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.<br />
    You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.<br />

  • All Outlook Express email lost with IOS upgrade

    I upgraded iTunes to the latest version and upgraded IOS from 4 to 6. Now Pocket Earth maps works on my iPod, but my Outlook Express email on my PC has been completely destroyed. All my emails and contacts are gone!!! What can I do? Is there a solution other than trying to restore my PC to an earlier date and forgetting about the maps for my iPod. (They aren't that useful anyway.) Please help me if you can.

    Thanks, but I was able to get all my email data back. I took my PC to Office Depot and their computer guy said it was a user profile error. He changed my identity back to main identity in Outlook Express and that fixed my problem. It cost me $30 but at least it's fixed.

  • HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
    I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.

  • HT4859 How do I transfer my outlook contacts to my iPhone?

    How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my lap top to my iPhone?

    Howdy Blue Island Ave,
    Here is an article about doing just that named Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3191.
    Dont let the name fool you, the steps are also relevant for an iPhone.
    To configure iTunes to sync contacts to your iPod:
    Open iTunes.
    Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes Source pane.
    In the Source pane under Devices select your iPod. This displays the iPod's Preferences.
    Click Info.
    Select the "Sync Contacts from..." checkbox.
    From the menu, choose the program (Outlook or Windows Contacts) that contains the contacts you want to sync with your iPod.
    Click Apply.
    Tip: iTunes for Windows can only sync Microsoft Outlook and Windows Contacts automatically. Note: Contact Groups from Windows Contacts will not sync with iPod.
    Note: iTunes for Windows can only sync contacts from one source at a time, either Outlook or Contacts. If you change the sync source, your new contacts will overwrite the previously stored contacts.
    Regards,
    Sterling
