Transferring address book of Palm Vx to MS Outlook Express Address Book

Can someone suggest a simple way to import the palm Vx address book into MS Outlook Express?
No problem hot synching between the palm Vx device and the PC running Windows XP Home Edition.

If you export the contacts from Palm Desktop as a csv file and then import it into address book as a text file csv that will work the best for you. The problem that you will run into is that Palm Desktop and the Address Book uses different names for the fields. For instance. You have a phone number under the main field in Palm Desktop in address book you will have to Map it to a phone number field of your choosing.
There is no easy way to go about this unless you want to pay money for the solution. If that is what you want to do I would suggest doing a Google search for a program that will do what you are looking for.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Need help recovering corrupted outlook express address book

    So my dad's address book won't open. First, outlook express says that the address book isn't installed properly, and then that the address book file is corrupted. It has important business contacts, so its imperative that I save the data.
    How can I get into the file? I can open it in notepad and I see a lot of the text, but its mostly names and I can't find any email addresses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Certainly you can.

  • Microsoft Works, Outlook Express Addresses & Bookmarks converter.

    Just bought Mountain Lion and need to transfer Microsoft Works documents, Outlook Express addresses and IE bookmarks. Can anyone please point me to a free file converter for Imac?

    Sounds like it is not authenticating correctly. Make sure the authentication methods for SMTP match what you use on the client.
    Failing that, increase the logging level for SMTP to "Information". Next, try to send mail and see what the logs show for that timeframe.

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm V

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.
