Have all past e-mails archived as large NSF File on local drive. Will need to have access to these after we convert to Outlook. Is there a third party program that can convert these to Outlook, or still open them after Notes is taken off my PC? Even if it's just a text database, just need some way to access these archive e-mails in the future. Thank you.

wow that is a hard one, best suggestion would be to unarchive them with lotus before the conversion and have lotus export them to a comma deliminated format. then try and import them however you will more then likely lose some if not alot of info, i would keep a copy of that archive. Outlook 2003 shows the ability to import lotus, however i have never tried it so cant speak of guarrentees

You need to copy and paste the email into a wordpad doc or other similar program. Then you can save it where ever you want. Burn it to disc or save to floppy.Hope this helped.

Are you sure that you aren't being paranoid?\n\nTo be sure, just save your data and use your Windows Disk to reinstall from SCRATCH.  That means pick the FORMAT option.   Then you will KNOW that it's gone. \n\nThe other option is to use COPY AND PASTE all the time.  That means that you compose email messages and such, as if you are compiling a RANSOM NOTE.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Hey there is a world of difference between outlook and thunderbird. But i do agree Thunderbird is a powerful appliaction, and since you are not a power user you can definitely switch to thunderbird. There is an option to import pst files into Thund.\n\nThunderbird has the flagging features as well so i guess you would want to migrate.

I can't remember what version of outlook express creates DBX files.  But what I would do is create a copy of those files, and also create a backup of your current mail folders if you have anything you want to save.  If you need help finding where your current files are stored, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder, copy down the location, and close Outlook Express before copying the files.\n\nThen I'd go ahead and attempt to import them as either Outlook Express 4 or 6.  If it doesn't like the format, it will probably simply refuse to import anything.  If by chance it screws things up, well, that's what those two backup copies were for.

You must first export them from your system at work.  This may not be allowed. You don't state what email system is in place at work so the answer could be different. If it is M/S outlook at work, go to Contacts and select import/export on the file pulldown.  Follow the directions.  You should use DOS comma delimited file output.  Attach the file to an email you create and send it to your home system.\n\nGo to Contacts in Outlook at home and use the File pulldown to do an import using the DOs comma delimited file format.

Since they were emailed, I think they came up as attachment, just right click and choose save as . and don't forget to name the document. Learn to create a folder and put them there.Always Always make sure that the file type you are saving it as is jpeg. If it don't come up that way, just choose your file type, it will be in the save as box.

They are using Microsoft Outlook.\n\nRename the file file with a .EML extention to open it with Outlook Express.

I know a few programs like Outlook may save things for you as a draft, but I don't much hear of regular programs actually doing that. (That's why in school we were told to "save save save!") \n\nHave you opened the program and just hit save to check to see where it has been saving to and see if the file is among them? When you go to File>Open, does that program have a "open recent document" option that lists the last few things you've done? But, if you've used search and had it look through the entire system and can't find it at all then it may be gone, sorry. : (

This is a guess, but probably a pretty good one. Every kind of file stored on a computer has associations that tell the operating system which application to use when opening it. For example, on your old computer you might have had photoshop installed and when it as installed it registered itself with windows as the first choice application to open certain kinds of files (like a .JPG file for instance).\n\nFiles that have already been opened from attachments have been registered by whatever email program you are using as having been opened with a particular application and so when that attachment is reopened windows already knows what application to use to open it.\n\nIt sounds to me as though what is happening to you is that new email attachments that have never been opened don't have an association with a particular program you want to use. They way to fix this is to open Windows explorer, (just open my computer) click Tools>folder options> file types and scroll down the list of file types to the kind of file that you are trying to open. Most photos these days are mailed as jpg files, but yours could be tiff or something else-you should know that. Once you find the file type highlight it and you should be able to see what program windows thinks it should use to open the file and whether or not you have the program. If you want to use a different program click change and tell windows what you want to use. The default program that windows preassociates with JPEG files is the windows photo and fax viewer which usually works pretty well for casual viewing. It could also be that your email program or browser doesn't know what helper program to use. That's pretty easy to fix too. If this doesn't work, you can always post another question.\n\nIt could be that you have an entirely different problem, but this is the first thing I would try because its easy to undo if it doesn't work. All the other reasons your pictures aren't opening are trickier to fix than this.

Using Windows Explorer, go to the directory of Outlook Express normally 'program files/windows/outlook and copy the mail files there are a few, then move them to your new directory and that's all to it, you actually don't need to open the program in the old computer..☺

File | New | Personal Folder (.pst)\nName the PST file something easy to remember.  Then also name the Folder name (As it appears in Outlook) exactly as you named the PST file.\n\nThen copy or move all of your data in to the PST.\nOnce you have save everything in the PST you must exit all Outlook items.  This is very important.\n\nOnce you are sure all Outlook items are closed, you may then save a copy of the PST file to a CD or DVD.\n\nYou now have backed up Outlook.\n\nTo restore.\nSave the PST file back to the hard drive.  Then (important) go to the properties of the PST file on the hard drive and UNCHECK the read-only property (very important).\nNow go to Outlook.\nFile | Open | Personal Folder (pst)\nNavigate to the PST on your hard drive and open it.\nYou can now copy or move items from the PST back to Outlook folders.

The answer is NO!  Your posts will not be lost.  If the photos are posted on yahoo of something, you won't lose those either. Those are not hosted on your computer but hosted on Yahoo or whereever else you posted them.  What you would lose if you format it is anything on your laptop harddrive.\n\nNow, if you are running XP, you don't have to REFORMAT to fix your OS issues.  \n\nJust reinstall XP.  \n\nWhen the screen asks about installing in the current C:&#92;WINDOWS folder, answer YES! That is what you WANT to do.\n What happens is, Windows is reloaded and everything you have on your computer remains where it is. The only change is the C:&#92;windows folder itself.\n\nDO NOT SAY "YES" TO REMOVING THE PARTITION!!  \n\nChoose instead to KEEP the existing partitions IN TACT!  That isn't necessary and removing the partition is the same as a format.  \n\nRemember Format, BAD!  Removing partition, BAD\nIn Tact partition, GOOD!  \nSorry. I had a Dana Carvey moment. :)\n\nIMPORTANT!\nThis works, but what you need to remember to do is copy your MY Documents, MY Pictures and your Favorites to another location like to your downloads folder for safe keeping.  A new Windows install will overwrite those!!!  \n\nEdit: If you use Outlook Express and have email addresses you need to keep, copy your wab and wabmig files too. They too will be overwritten!\n\nThe other thing you'll need to do is re-install your programs because the registry entries for those programs will no longer exist. And that is more than likely where your problems are.  Now you'll see those when the reinstall is finished but they won't work properly.  That is because the pointers are gone.  \n\nNow and print this post and read it a few times before you get started.  You can do this.  Holla back.\n\nHope this helps. \n\n-J
