Outlook Express Address Book....is this the only one for PCs?

Directed to any PC experts!
I have two mail accounts on my iPhone 3G
1) a gmail account
2) an outlook express account (pop 3 server)- this is my main email address and i've had it for a long time.
If i were to delete the outlook express email account (because it appears to be kind of buggy lately) would i lose my windows address book, which is of course, provided by outlook express? This is the address book that syncs to the iPhone. Outlook express is a program, not a free floating internet email like hotmail and such.....so i am thinking that just deleting the email component would not delete the address book which seems to be an integral part of windows.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

The address book used by Outlook Express is a separate application from the OE application.
Deleting an email account from OE will not touch or affect the address book used by OE.
You don't need to access an email account with OE to sync your iPhone's address book direct with the address book used by OE via the iTunes sync process.

Create a Contact on an address book other than the default one

Hello everyone,
I am using a professional address book and calendar on exchange provided by my company. I am also using my iCloud account to manage my personal address book and calendar. I have set up my iphone 4S to display both address book and calendar, this works well, same for the sync mechanism.
When I create an event on my iPhone using the standard calendar app, I can simply indicate whether it is a personal or professional event.
When I create a contact using the standard contact app, there is no way to indicate wheter it's personnal or professional. The contact is created on the default address book that I setup in the settings. The only way I found is to hide all categories except the personal one and then create the contact. It is then created not on the default address book but on the only one displayed. It is rather awkward and that does not solve all problems : I have some contacts already created by mistake on my professional address book that I want to move to the personnal one. I found absolutely no way of doing that. The same thing for calendar events is straightforward: open the event for modification, simple toogle the appropriate field from Pro to Personal and you're done.
Does anyone have a hint for this ?
Thanks,
Cyril

Hi sumella, <br>
I think you should try an Add-on like one of these:

Importing Windows Outlook Express address book

Hello
I have been trying to import an Outlook Express address book (which is stored on a DVD) to MS Entourage with not much luck
I can't seem to find an 'option' to import an external address book.
The only options available seem to be to import Entourage docs/archives etc.
Can anyone help?

I've been looking into this myself and there are a number of possibilities. You can't just import an address book but importing all your contacts can be done. Search discussions here for the topic (the Mail and Address Book forum has stuff on getting contacts out of Outlook) and also Google the web, there are several threads elsewhere. There are even shareware utilities to help.
Also look under Mac 101: Shifting From PC in the Support section here. Apple has a little bit to say on it, although not terribly helpful to me.

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.

Help me please with Outlook Express address book recovery

I reloaded windows and after restarting I could not find the Outlook Express address book. I looked in my docs and settings/"name"/localsettings/applicationdata/identities.
There are a bunch of .DBX files t, but the contacts file is only 59kb. I don't know how to do anything with these files to recover them.

Transfering Outlook Express Address Book to OS X mail

Hi Folks,
Have finally made the leap from OS 9 to OS X.
That was the easy part.
Now, how to successfully tranfer my 700+items Outlook Express Address Book into OS X mail? I'm about at my wits end. I've thus far managed to transfer the lot of them into Microsoft 'entourage' X. Whew! I still can't figure out how to transfer them into the OS X email program. I need access to those names/email addresses ASAP. It's vital to my work. Help!
Thanks much in advance.
Namaskara,
David M.

I'm a newbie, but I think this may work:
Since Mail uses the addresses stored in Mac's Address Book app, open AB. Go to File/Import and select LDIF as the type of file you wish to import. Locate and click on the OE address book filename in the window that appears. It is most probably located in the Documents folder. Highlight the filename and click Open. The contents of this file will now appear in AB, and will then be accessible from Mail.
Let us know if it works.

Outlook Express address book to Entourage

Changing from a PC to a MacBook Pro - Is there any way I can export my PC Outlook Express address book to my MacBook Pro? I am using Entourage and would like to have my address book exported rather than having to type everything. Is this possible or do I have a lot of typing to do?

've exported the address books into a variety of file types within the iMac: ldif, html, xls, (comma separated) rtf, txt and and none of those file types will import into either Entourage or Apple Mail on my G4. I've been racking my brain for weeks on this trying to find some conversion software or format to easily get these addresses into my Mail applications without having to tediously enter in each one by one.
Address Book (note that Address Book is the Apple utility for managing your contacts - Mail makes use of it) should be able to import either comma separated or tab separated text files. For the former the extension must be .csv and for the latter .txt.
Tab-separated (or delimited if you prefer) is often better, as addresses may have a comma in them.

Hi John, might be better to use migration assistant on both & migrate the whole PC user, but...

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc?

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc on Yosemite?Compatibility with Yosemite — Illustrator CS5.5

Various folders. It usually allows me to re-save older files, but a new save is practically impossible to accomplish. I tried Reducing Transparency, as suggested in earlier posts to no avail. Also, when I drag an eps icon into Illustrator, it asks me if I want to retain the 9-slice scaling options for symbols — not sure what that means. Tried that both ways, with no results. Just had it crash on me 8 times this evening!

Accessing Outlook Calendar & ToDo's on PC using Outlook Express Address Book

How can I setup Outlook in the BB Desktop Manager so I can use it synch my calendar and To Do's? I'm synching my address book from Outlook Express just fine. But the system isn't seeing Outlook. Why?
Thanks much for your help.

I am not sure you can sync to both, simultaneously.
In your Desktop Manager > Sync settings, do you see your Outlook as a choice?
Have you used Outlook on your desktop PC, before?

On my home PC, I operate with Windows XP and use Outlet Express for my email. Can my Outlook Express address list be imported to my IPhone4

Not directly; OE is not supported by iTunes. You need full Outlook. Address Book in later versions of Windows is supported.
