How to import Outlook Express WAB into TB

I copied a WAB file that was exported from Outlook Express in a Windows XP machine onto the desktop of a different computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I then clicked on import > address book> Outlook Express file. It says done, but it never finds the WAB to import and the new address book it created is empty. Where do I need to place the old WAB file for TB to import it? Or, am I doing something else wrong?

Importing Outlook express folders into mail on intel imac ?

I was running outlook express on os 9.1 G3 and need to import the folders into mail on my fab new mac intel...
Any advice/help much appreciated as always
Many thanks
Steve

Steve,
Your OE messages are in a folder called Identities within one called Microsoft User Data. A first step might be to copy the MUD folder or the Identities folder to a disk and transfer it to you new Mac's desktop.
A few years ago, I transferred my mail from OE on a G3 running OS 9 to my flat panel iMac running OS X. At the time I made use of running OE in Classic on my new iMac. Your Intel Mac will not run Classic so the approach will be a little different.
I've read of people being able to import the OE messages into Entourage on their new Mac and then getting them into Apple's Mail. If you have Office for Mac you can try this, or you can try it using the 30 day free trial of Office.
Until you complete the transfer, keep everything intact on your old Mac. Do not delete OE. And whatever you do, do not delete the MUD folder or the Identities folder!
Post back,
Steve M.

Import Outlook Express from only data files

I am working with a person who recently bought a new Mac. She has a complete backup image of her old hard drive saved on DVD but she has already gotten rid of the old Mac. On her old Mac, she used OS 9 and Outlook Express for E-mail. She had several hundred messages saved that she wants imported into Mail in OS X. However when I go to import the Outlook mailboxes, Mail says "Outlook and Classic will be started." Is it actually necessary that I install Classic support, install Outlook Express inside Classic, and drop in the data files, simply to import the mailboxes? The messages are obviosuly contained in one file named "Messages" in the previous /Documents/Microsoft Userdata/Identities/Main Identity folder - the "Messagse" file is somewhere along the lines of 200MB in size. Also, what will I do when Intel macs start to hit the streets that can't even boot Classic in the first place? Are there other OS-X only ways to import Outlook Express data files into Mail?

Before going for any third party utility, I think you should try the free Outlook Express basic repair kit provided by Microsoft, which include:
Deletion of temporary internet files
Compacting all folders
Re-register Outlook Express and its libraries

If you does not find any of these above given solutiona helpful, then you can for any third party recovery solution (as you can Google it)

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

Importing pc outlook express contacts into mail on new mac

Hello,
I've been looking thru the support archives and can't find anything current on this issue (archived stuff is 2009). Is there any easy way to import your contact info from pc outlook express to mail 4.5 on a new macbook pro? I'm not sure which version the outlook express is, (it's my father-in-law's machine) he just made the switch to a mac. He is not very computer savy, hence the reason I am posting the question... I have looked at o2mac and was wondering if it can be done easily without purchasing an outside application... I have a brother-in-law who is working on the problem but he is soo pc oriented that he cannot find himself around the mac without thinking in pc-mode so I'm now trying to help (I'm AM a mac person...) but not outlook! He says that when he tries to import it comes in all gobbley-gooked (his words)....
Any help appreciated!

How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

Import outlook 2011 contacts into mail

trying to move from Outlooks 2011 for Mac into Mac Mail and really struggling.
Mail doesn't seem to import anything but 'mailboxes' and doesn't seem to read any of the export formats Outlooks offers. (Outlook says tab delimited, Mail claims to want a CSV)
I can't even figure out how to DISPLAY contacts in Mail. If I know the email address it will autocomplete, and it says add sender but doesn't seem to ask for a name.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

You want to export your contacts as a vcard if that is an option, then import them into Contacts, not Mail. Mail use Contacts.
To display Contacts in Mail, click New Message, and then the blue + sign at the far right of the To field.

Can't Import Outlook Express address book to Pearl 8100

A friend just gave me an AT&T BB Pearl 8100 and I am using it as a phone only with no data plan (it's a company cell phone but they won't pay for a data plan -- I just put my SIM card in the BB). I am trying to connect to my personal PC with the USB cable and import my OE address book. I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, and when I try to synch it a window flashes that says "Synchronization Progress - Processing" for about one second, then that disappears and my phone doesn't get updated. Can someone help me? I searched for this problem prior to posting but can't find this situation. I dread having to type them one by one -- any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I would be more inclined to blame Vista in general than the version of GW -
I've used the Advansys product with GW8 with no problems. GW8 has been
tested with Vista, but I have no idea if any of the conversion utilities
have. Can you just do it from another PC that isn't Vista?

Time to upgrade to GW8!

Import Outlook 2010 contact into Mac OS X Address Book

*Help needed!*
In our company, we run PCs with Windows XP and MS Office 2010. For private usage I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard.
Since quite I while, I am trying to export the contacts from my Outlook 2010 address book into the preferred Address Book on my Mac. However, It does not work anymore.
I had found a simple way which worked well as long as my company was using the old MS Office. I simply sent the contacts from Outlook to Mac as attached files via email and could easily drag and drop them onto the desktop and further into the Address Book. Now coming from Office 2010, the addresses cannot be imported anymore.
The Finder on my Mac recognizes the files on the desktop but I can neither import nor drag-and-drop them into my Address Book.
Happy for any hint you give me!

Figured out what was happening here. It seems that even though a new contact is synced immediately (from MobileMe to the iPhone), categorization data is NOT -- it seems to take hours until this data gets updated.

How to Import Outlook Address Book into Mac Address Book?

I will be making an employment change and need to import my pc Outlook addresses into my mac email addresses. After repeated emails to Apple and apple support phone calles no one can help because I am not going from a mac to a mac. Unbelieveable. Actually it's not-the lack of customer services these days should not surprise me.
Anyway, anyone know how to do to save me having to re-type hundreds of addresses?
Thanx!

You need to export your Outlook contacts into a VCard format.
There are many programs out there that will do this for bulk jobs. But, you can do it for free if you are willing to do it manually.
Select each contact one at a time from Outlook. Then, go up to the menus (I think it's the file menu) and choose export, then choose to export it as a VCard.
I'm not in front of a PC. But, I remember doing it that way for about 80 something cards when I moved from my PC.
Once you have them in a VCard format, you can just drag and drop them into Apple's Address Book.
It takes some time to do it this way if you have a ton of contacts. But, it does work.
I think the PC format might be VCF but it is VCard.
Apple uses a different format of VCard than Microsoft does. So, you won't be able to use Microsoft's Export to export all the cards at one time.
That method will not allow you to import them into Apple's address book since they are different formats.
But, it will work if you export each individual record one at a time, and then drag each one into Apple's Address Book.
Additionally, if you find a web-mail service like GMail or Yahoo, or something like that that can synchronize with both the PC and the Mac, then you could try moving it to one of those services and then to Apple's address book.
For an automated system, check out:

You can also read Apple's document on the subject here:

Hope this helps.
