How I copied all my Outlook Express data to my new Black MacBook

Hi there!
I just made the jump to the "Apple side" buying a shiny new Black Macbook, and having already got a lot of usefull information from this forum, I just wanted to give my little contribution...
Here follows how I managed to copy ALL my Microsoft Outlook Express messages, settings and accounts from my "old" PC to my new MacBook:
I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my PC and let the automated "import" function transfer all my data from Outlook Express; then I installed Thunderbird to the MacBook too (skipping all the setup procedures that start at the first run of the program).
Then, on the "PC side", I located the folder where all the Thunderbird profile data is stored: it is something like "xxxxxxxx.default" (in my case "voakmfhs.default") and is stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\Windows_User\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles"
So it was just a matter of copying all the "xxxxxxxx.default" folder from the PC to the Mac (on the "Mac side" just search for the "Thunderbird" folder and then open the "Profiles" subfolder where you have to copy all the stuff)
The last step is to edit the Thunderbird "profiles.ini" file on the Mac, replacing the name of default folder that was assigned during the installation (which you can safely delete), with the name of the one copied from the PC...
For any further question, feel free to ask
Hope this is of some help!
Ciao for now
Sergio

Hi,
Since you posted the question in our forum, there's one thing I need to Confirm: Are we talking about Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express?
Please note, they are different products. In our forum, we provide Support for Microsoft Outlook. If you are using Outlook Express, we are not the best resource.
Anyway, you may refer to How to back up and to restore Outlook Express data and find useful information:

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

Outlook Express Contacts to my new iMac

I am so frustrated and can't seem to figure a way to get my old outlook express contacts to my new iMac.
Anyone know how this is done?
I have tried a few ways but nothing seems to work for me.
Thanks

In Outlook express, export the contacts to a file. For the file format, choose comma separated vars. You can then import the contacts into Address Book using the Import command from the File menu.
You won't be able to import any groups this way. If you have groups, export all the contacts in a group to a file and import the files one at a time. Make groups in Address Book for each of the exports. You can then use the Last Import group in Address Book to select them all and move them to the correct group.
Another method I have heard of is to use Thunderbird as a conduit. You can import all your OE stuff to Windows Thuderbird, transfer the config files to the Mac, then use the mac version of Thunderbird to export the data to a Mail/Address Book format.
There are third party apps that will import from Outlook--O2M is one. I don't think there is a free one, hence my directions above.

How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

Dear all,
As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
Thanks a lot
Francis SZE

As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

How to copyi all phone contacts to SIM card

Hello, I'm using this really bad network on my blackberry and it's really hard getting any good data service off it. As you'd imagine I wanna change to a better network. I was hoping I could copy all my contacts (they're less than 150) onto the sim memory before changing SIM cards, any ideas how it's done on a blackberry q10 device?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Using the SIM as a method of contact list saving is not a good idea IMHO. The BB contact list is robust (multiple phone numbers per person) where the SIM address book is weak (one name and one number only). So, even if you accomplished it, you'd wind up with a mess -- John Smith on your BB has 3 phone numbers...once you use the SIM, he has 3 completely separate entries, one for each of those 3 numbers. Not good.
So, the question comes, what is your actual desire here? Do you wish to migrate your contact data to a different device? Is that other device a BB or something else? Do you have your contacts "in the cloud", so that you can use that as the medium for transfer? Do you have your BB synchronizing with Outlook via LINK? If so, then that could be your method.
More questions than answers, I fear...so we await your reply.
Thanks and let us know!

Transferring Outlook Express Data from G-3 to G-4, Help Needed, please

Hi, I would like some help: I think I transferred my HD from G-3 to G-4, but none of the data of my Outlook Express 5.02 on the G-3 made the firewire jump. How do I:
a. find out if the data (inbox, sent msgs, folders, etc.) are on the G-4
b. if they are not there, how do I get them to transfer. All the other folders on my hard drive, data, documents, etc., went across well (it took an hour to transfer the HD, which was about 7 Gb)
Any help is appreciated, you may e-mail me personally at [email protected]
Thanks, Paul
