Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / September 2003outlook express for OS X
Is there an outlook express appication for OS X and if so which one? > Is there an outlook express appication for OS X and if > so which one? Outlook Express can be used while booted in OS X, but only through the Classic environment - that is to say, it is not an OS X native application. MS Entourage (part of the Office v.X suite) is an excellent e-mail client, but unlike Outlook Express, it's not freeware. You may wish to use OE in the OS X Classic environment (a bit cumbersome IMO) or stick to the built-in Mail.app program, which is quite a bit better now than when it was first released. HTH, Ricky RICKY, YOU SEEM TO BE THE GURU ON THIS TOPIC. JUST INSTALLED OS X. I USE ROAD RUNNER SERVICE FROM TIME WARNER AS MY ISP. WHEN I OPENED UP MY OE FILE AFTER INSTALLATION OF OS X, IT SEEMS THAT ALL OF MY OLD MAIL AND ADDRESSES DID NOT IMPORT TO THE OE. I SEARCHED THE HARDRIVE AND SAW IN THE DOCUMENTS FILE: MICROSOFT USER DATA: IDENTITIES: MAIN IDENTITY IN THIS SUB FILE THERE APPEARED TO BE ALL OF MY MAIL (MESSAGES FILE) AND ADDRESSBOOK (DATABASE). BUT WHEN I WENT TO OE TO IMPORT THIS DATA TO THE CURRENT OE, NO FILES SHOWED READABLE TO IMPORT. NEITHER APPLE OR MSFT WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SO YOU MIGHT BE MY LAST HOPE! HOW CAN I IMPORT THIS DATA OR FIND A WAY TO ALLOW MY OE TO REVERT BACK TO THE PREVIOUS COPY SO I CAN ACCESS OLD EMAIL AND ADDRESSES? THANKS SO MUCH.

To resolve the problem, you should just need to move/copy your Identities folder from the above pathway into this location... Mac HD:Users:[your username]:Documents:Microsoft User Data: Once you have done this, relaunch OE (obviously it will just load in the Classic environment) and then your mail and address book data should automatically reappear. HTH, Ricky |
