Outlook Express Contacts

Is there anyway of getting my contacts from my Windows based Outlook Express, over to the Ipad Mail.

Yes.
Copied from the iPad user guide.
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, *Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express)*, Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
The address book used by Outlook Express is called Windows Address Book. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
If you have manually entered any contacts in your iPad's address book and Windows Address Book includes contact info, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync, which you want to select.

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.

HT204150 I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back?

It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.

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!

Install Mozilla Thunderbird onto the PC.

On the PC import whatever you need, mails, contacts from Outlook Express
From Thunderbird export contacts as LDIF. Copy the file over to your Mac and import it in Address Book.

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

I am very new to the iPod touch and it is aslow learning curve for me.
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.

Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

Hi,
I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
I have successfully got ovi suite working.
For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
then i ran pc suite cleaner.
2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
now there should be nothing on the pc.
Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
Reboot pc
Then download ovi suite.
A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
It also works fine on my xp computer too.

Syncing with Outlook Express

Is there any way to sync the Iphone with Microsoft Outlook? It is one of my e-mail accounts that is used for my work, but I have not successfully synced that account with my Iphone.

My Outlook Express contacts synced fine with the iPhone. Wish I could sync my original Palm's calendar without having to pay $90+ for Outlook 2007...

You need to be using Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Windows Address Book, not Outlook Express.

Problem sync with Outlook Express

Tried to sync my wife's new iphone to her Outlook Express. I believe I indicated the 'replace' function with the first sync. In the end, it took out all the names on the iphone, no contacts are there, and the only data on the iphone is the phone numbers in her Favorite space, without the names. Since then, I have tried 'merge' and 'replace' over and over to no avail. So, how do I get her Outlook Express contacts to her iphone. Thanks!

Hey Larry,
Try resetting the Sync History. In iTunes goto> Edit> Preferences> Syncing> Reset Sync History.

Outlook Sync Contacts

I am unable to Sync Contacts between Outlook 2003 and my video Ipod. I am using Itunes 6.0.4.2 on Win XP Pro.
I can sync calendar items. I can also sync Outlook Express contacts. I've just spent 30 minutes on the phone to the Apple support centre in India. They can't solve it. His last suggestion was that I contact Microsoft. He said that Apple did not support syncing with Outlook. I asked hime why this was relaesed in a live version of iTunes!
I wonder if this is a conflict with other sync software I use such as Plaxo and Nokia? Any ideas?

Here's an alternative way to get Contacts on your iPod of the auto sync doesn't work. It doesn't work for me either in 6.0.4.2, but it did in 6.0.1.3
1. Create a New Folder on your Desktop
2. In Outlook Contacts use Ctrl+A to "Select All".
3. On the "Action" menu select "Forward as vCard".
(A new e-mail will open with all of the Contacts as .vcf attachments.)
4. Select all the attachments and drag them to the New Folder you created in step-one.
5. Drag and Drop them from the New Folder into the Contacts directory on your iPod using Windows Explorer.
