Transfers from Netscape to OEX
« on: April 21, 2003, 12:57:00 AM »
I know I've seen this on the forum before but when I did a search in all the archives I came up empty. Can someone please point me to a help sight for moving both ADDRESSES and MAIL from Netscape to Outlook Express.

Everything I have tried has been a miserable failure. When attempting to export the addresses out of Netscape and import them into Outlook Express I managed to import over 3000 blank spaces when there were only about 200 addresses to begin with. Don't know how that could happen but it did.

Thanks.

Wow, you would think so but alas as I slogged through them I didn't see any that applied. But could have accidently overlooked something since it is an overwhelming amount of information.

Thanks...

Looks like a lot of Eudora stuff there.  

Maybe this.

"Importing Data from Netscape Communicator"

           

"During the import process, when the user is asked                to select the Netscape Users folder that contains the data they want to import, make sure they select the folder that contains their profile folder (the Netscape Users folder), not the profile folder itself. If the user has stored his or her profile folder in a different                location for example, in the user's Documents folder select that folder instead."

Rick. Which version of OE?  

Have you tried just using the Import in OE without Exporting NS first?

It is Outlook Express 5 Kelly.

I did not try to import first, but will pass that on to my friend. I was attempting to help her but gave up after several attempts. Thanks.
