Back in the Mix

Hi there.

It’s nice to see that all of you good people--friend and troll alike—have been entertaining yourselves in my short absence. Additionally, thanks for all of the pertinent information. Now I’m back and ready for “fun.”

New fan, clean drive, most programs re-installed. Gee; it’s almost like having a tummy tuck.

No, I’m not going to complain about how much it cost. I’ll just be thankful that I was able to get it done.

I do have one problem: my email sundries--old mails and address book--were backed up and sit in a folder on my hard drive. How do I access this stuff and/or import it from one mail client to another (T-bird to Outlook)?

I'm sorry, did I hear you correctly? You want to move your stuff FROM Tbird TO outlook?

Why?

(and to answer your question, I don't know if Outlook recognizes Tbird as an email program. If it does, you should just be able to use its import function)

It's been a while since I've used it, but if memory serves Outlook includes a mail Import function, and I think
Mozilla is listed as a selection.

This should work, as Mozilla and T-bird use the same data format.

Me, I stay with Mozilla as a mail client, since the calendar plug-in gives me functionality similar to Outlook in terms of appointments, events, and so on.

Not only that, the calendar format is compatible with iCal. :)

APV: Okay. How to I get it off my hard drive and back into T-bird? I can't seem to do either.

Casey: The import function doesn't list Mozilla.

And, no, Outlook does not support Mozilla imports. No idea why not, you'd think they'd be happy to have taken a "customer" away from the Mozilla crowd.

My guess.. Mozilla is just too cool, and any attempts to import it into Outlook causes the M$ product to suffer from "Richie meets the Fonz" syndrome... but that's just a guess ;)
