in [Outlook]

From: joyoooo on 3 May 2010 19:47 i am using the beta version of Outlook 2010 and can't figure out how to get my email addresses into it.
From: neo on 3 May 2010 19:59 Select the File tab and then Open on the left. This should bring you to "Import" on the right. Haven't tried it yet, but you might want to be in the Contact folder to see if the Wizard defaults to whatever folder is being display before trying the options described.

Use the Mail applet in COntrol Panel, open that PST, make it your delivery location instead of the empty PST, and then remove the empty PST. Start Outlook and it will be just like whatever your prior version was. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: tophawk on 8 May 2010 05:18 @Brian Tillman The answer to your question is that, like many thousands of us worldwide, I am trying to eradicate my problems in O 2010 (reference http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/1db861cd-eea9-4c1d-a4a7-e037c5bf75cd) I really don't want (need) to import as I have simply used an EXISTING .pst since the mid 1990s - and always pointed to that one on any rebuild. To save you reading that thread - the solution seems to be: use O 2010 for my primary POP accounts (including POP Hotmail) and a second (Thunderbird) client for the balance of imap accounts etc). This has been running smoothly since O 2010 RTM Thanks for the response "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > "tophawk" <tophawk(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:C1FFCA5E-93AE-4D96-9F20-464C14F07F88(a)microsoft.com... > > > I have popped over from > > http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/1db861cd-eea9-4c1d-a4a7-e037c5bf75cd > > (tophawk) > > If I have a clean install of O2010, can I simply import all my contacts & > > mail in to the newly created (by O2010) .pst file? > > I have for ten years just pointed any new installation to my long existing > > .pst > > As Ben asked, why are you trying to import?

I've got multiple POP, IMAP, and Hotmail accounts (using Outlook Connector 14) in Outlook 2010 and 2007 and they've worked well. While I think you should be able to have all your accounts in Outlook, if you find it's more reliable to use Thunderbird for IMAP, then that's what you should use. While I think Outlook 2010 is MUCH better at IMAP than earlier versions, Outlook has historically been a poorer IMAP client than some others. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
