Why can’t I export/import contacts from Windows Live Mail?

12. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I have tried following the supplied instructions.  It just loops me back to the contacts page without doing anything.

Have you tried to export contacts from your Hotmail account using (.CSV) file?

If no, here are the steps to export contacts from your Hotmail account:

1. Sign in to your Windows Live Hotmail account.
2. At the top of your Windows Live Hotmail page, point your cursor to Hotmail.
3. From the drop down menu, click Contacts.
4. Click the Manage link that is located beside Send e-mail.
5. From the drop down menu select Export.
6. Enter the 8 characters from the picture.
7. Click Export button.
8. Save the file to your preferred location.

After exporting contacts from your Hotmail account, you can now import the contacts to other account.

THIS DOESN'T WORK.  :-(

Encountered Problem.

I followed the instruction on how to migrate emails from Windows Live Mail to MS outlook unfortunately I am receiving errors.

MAC Outlook 2011 – cannot rebuild database

10. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
When I open Outlook, one particular message keeps popping-up. 

I have tried deleting but keeps returning. I tried emptying my "deleted items" folder but when I try I'm told I need to rebuild the database. 

The data base rebuild utility keeps failing with error -18000. 

Tried creating a new identity and copy the database header and copy to main identity (suggested on one of the forums) - no change. 

Tried to export - thinking I could import in new identity - export fails. 

Everything seems to work normal, as long as I don't try to open the "deleted items" folder. 

I'm using a POP account.

Any suggestions? 

How to Edit Multiple Contacts in Outlook 2011 for Mac

18. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
Ok, so, I'm loving my new mac, but am frustrated with the limited capabilities of Microsoft Office. 

I need the ability to edit multiple contacts in outlook. Since I can't export just a group of contacts (not smart, if you ask me!), I need to be able to add a defining column to the contacts so that when I export my contacts to use, I can grab just the two groups that I need. I have catagorized all the contacts, but in the export process, the category isn't included. How can I edit multiple contacts? 

For Example: 

I have 672 contacts in a group that we'll call "Clients". I have 6 other email groups in outlook. I have catagorized all of the "Clients" emails to be the color orange. I now need to add a column, say "Nickname" and have all 672 contacts updated with a "Nickname" of clients so that when I export to an excel file, I can sort by "Nickname" and grab just my "Client" emails to use in an email campaign through vertical response. 

I know this was possible with the windows version, because I did it. Also, the windows version allows for exporting of just certain folders within the contacts. 

Microsoft, PLEASE add this feature into outlook! We have got to be able to manage our contacts better!

Frustrated, 

Lisa

Possible to abort "moving" of mails?

16. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I recently helped a client move his exchange setup from one host to another. I found the easiest way to approach this problem in Mac (as the import/export function is a forced-bulk operation that I would rather not deal with) was simply to install both the old and new exchange account side-by-side and then drag'n'drop the mails that I wanted to move.

This worked splendidly, and afterwards I removed the old account from his profile. This is where the problem occurs, though. In the bottom status row there's an indication of "moving files: 0/x" with x being the number of mails that we had previously moved to that folder. The messages are now located on the new server, but that status message won't go away. Is there any way to manually cancel a move and as such get rid of the message?

I want to transfer my windows live mail messages to another computer but when I export the folder, it only moves one of the many messages in the folder.  Ho w do I get the entire folder contents?

The process for exporting/importing live mail doesn’t work for me.

I have followed the procedure described for exporting Live Mail files from one PC to an external hard drive, with the goal of importing them into Live Mail on a new PC, but the export doesn't pick up any actual files, just a single heading, such as "Drafts". The only thing I could do this successfully with was the Contacts, which I did separately.
