Outlook Export Wizard
Dear all, On March 16 I asked for help in exporting Outlook eMails to TB!. I got a rely suggesting to use Outlook Export Wizard from http://www.outlookimport.com/description/outlook-export-wizard/ . I now have done a conversion (first step) to extract the eMails and folders. The whole .psd file is over 3 GB large with 13'000 eMails and 1'200 folders. Extraction time 3:15 hr. After extraction I now have the folder structure with it's eMails in each folder ready to transfer to TB!. Each eMail is separate with .msg extensions To bring the over to TB! seems the hard part. I now notice, that it does not create a .TBB file and that I must explicit Import those eMails. But there is more - TB! does not allow me to select a bunch of folders and imports those and where required also imports the .msg files into the .TBB base file. It looks that I must process every 1'200 folder by hand. Is there a simpler way of handling this? Maybe a way I didn't look into properly? I would appreciate your help as I need to transfer the eMails asap. Many thanks in advance. -- best regards | Using The Bat! 5.0.36.5 (BETA) Eddie | on Windows 7 6.1 | Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current beta is 5.0.36.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Outlook Export Wizard
Is there a simpler way of handling this? Maybe a way I didn't look into properly? I'd upload it to an IMAP server with a Python script. Ask the support. If they ever implemented a way to do it, they should help. If they didn't, you have to work it around through an open format like my suggestion above. 'cuz TB's base format is as proprietary as Outlook's. -- Regards, Ivan mailto:v...@mail.mipt.ru Current beta is 5.0.36.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Aha, a good step too. THe side gave me some hints on various problems that can emerge during conversion (Outlook to TB!). I face three points I must look out: -- Embedded images and other media -- Diacritical marks (like é, è, ç) -- Non-latin characters So I am also looking into this tool. And 20$ for home use is affordable. -- best regards | Using The Bat! 5.0.36.5 (BETA) Eddie | on Windows 7 6.1 | Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current beta is 5.0.36.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thunderbird, TB's import wizard is supposed to be able to read that. However it's supposed to be able to read Outlook too and from your message I gather that that isn't true. -- Groetjes, Roelof The Moderator is NOT God!

Thunderbird, TB's import wizard is supposed to be able to read that. However it's supposed to be able to read Outlook too and from your message I gather that that isn't true. I only see now the Mailbox Import Wizard under Import Messages. But that requires to have Outlook installed and not just having the PST file on your Harddisk. But it goes to the point to ask If I wish to import Outlook Contacts. That's all. So to give aou the answr; No I didn't try to directly import from Outlook. I think he is using Outlook 2007. Do I understand you correct that that work directly to import from Outlook PST file? If Yes, I would install it here and do the conversion. IN that cas I may install Outlook 2010. Are the PST files compatible? -- best regards | Using The Bat! 5.0.36.5 (BETA) Eddie | on Windows 7 6.1 | Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current beta is 5.0.36.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Dear Stuart, --- Stuart Pye / Tuesday Tue 10. Apr 2012, 04:30 PM Outlook Export Wizard I would appreciate your help as I need to transfer the eMails asap. Many thanks in advance. I would also recommend Aid4mail; I just used it to archive 65,000 messages in TB!. I have the Professional version, worth every penny. Ok, I downloaded aid4mail and use it in trail mode. It seems that extraction from pst file works but I can't seem to import it properly into TB!. What have I tried? 1 - In TB! I tried to choose Import Wizard and select Outlook. That behaved strangely. Once it asked if I want to import Contacts but said it couldn't find a folder. Once it went a reaading - or pretending reading until I had to kill TB! as I couldn't Cancel it. 2 - By using aid4mail I extracted in Thunderbird (Eudora) and with the TB! Import Wizard tried to Import as such. It ask me for a folder and never went beyond that point. 3 - I tried to Extract into MSG and/or EML and wanted to import from that. It didn't work. When I extract as MSG I can open that file with Notepad and see the content. But in TB! nothing to see. So I am now curious to hear from those who also either use aid4mail or have done eMail import into TB! how your process is and what you are selecting, choosing etc. Thanks! -- best regards | Using The Bat! 5.0.36.5 (BETA) Eddie | on Windows 7 6.1 | Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current beta is 5.0.36.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
