Software :: Cannot Export Outlook 2000 Into Office 2002
Dec 14, 2009
I have a client how likes windows 2000, and office 2000. Her outlook box got too full and that totally killed outlook. Msft provides tools to fix this, but none of them work. I managed to switch her over to thunderbird, and I got the messages transferred over, but not the address book - only the email addresses transferred. I can not export outlook 2000 into office 2002, and I don't think office 2007 will work either. I have heard of transferring the addresses into outlook express, and then transferring to outlook. Will that work?
try to get my Evolution emails into Outlook, I can now say that the whole process is quite simple. It seems clunky the way that I have done it, but it is free and it works!First download and this Free Converter to convert *.mbx into *.eml If the link is broken, it came from [URL] and you just have to find their link to the mbx to eml converter.
IN LINUX
1) Open Evolution
2) Highlight the emails that you wish to convert, CTR+A for all in folder
3) R-click and "save as" and call the file anything you want with an mbx extension (example: inbox.mbx) - note: you may need to save this somewhere that Win/linux both recognise as Windows refuses to recognise drives formatted by linux. ie. save on a drive that has been formatted in FAT32 or NTFS
IN WINDOWS
1) Open mbox-eml-extractor.exe (the free converter, probably in your downloads directory)
2) Click "Add" and select your *.mbx file that you saved
3) Click "process" and select the output directory (I just created one on the desktop)
4) Open Microsoft Outlook Express NOT OUTLOOK!! It comes free with your windows install
5) Open the directory that you saved the *eml files (the "process" ones) and drag n drop into MS outlook express
6) All of your emails should show up in MS Outlook express now
7) Click File->Export->Messages
8) You will not be given an option where to save it but if you are curious, go to Tools->Options and click the Maintenance tab and the "Store folder" button to see the path
9) After it has exported now open Microsoft Outlook and click File->Import and Export and select "Import Internet mail and addresses" and press next. Choose "outlook express" etc and follow the bouncing ball so to speak.
10) You have managed the frustratingly and seemingly impossible. Now if Evolution soon gets an export to pst (or whatever the extension is) we won't need this thread anymore
A client of mine has a 7.7G .pst file, every time I try and import it into outlook so I can import to Thunderbird, it breaks due to the size, as Outlook can't handle files bigger than 2G. Is there anyway I can import this file into Thunderbird without having to use Outlook?
I often find myself working in environments that force MS Outlook down my throat. I know there must be others here who have dealt with this frustration, so I'm hoping to get a convenient workaround.My strategy so far has been to make an Outlook rule that immediately copies every email to a PST file (for export). This is the first rule that runs. The pst file is kept directly on network filespace, so the linux and windows sides can both get at it. On the linux side, a pst to mbox converter runs, and then emacs can access the mbox mail.
It all works, but it's cumbersome. The script must periodically move the PST file and immediately copy an empty PST file in its place. I would have appreciated it if Outlook would only handle the file when adding mail to it. The problem is, after I replace the file with an empty PST file, Outlook pukes, and even deactivates the rule for copying emails. So I must manually close Outlook, empty the PST file, then relaunch Outlook just to run the rule to copy email.Is there a way to use cygwin or something to launch outlook in the background, run outlook rules, and exit, every 10 minutes?
I installed office 2000 CD using wine, I did this on Ubuntu net-book remix on a NC10 using a networked CD drive. So the installation went okay, I then came to using the software, word opened and promoted me for my product key, which I entered correctly the window disappeared for a second then repaired, I entered the key again but then this caused the whole program to shut down, I have tried repairing it , reinstalling it all apart from uninstalling and reinstalling it. Which I have tried and subsequently failed
Right I got it to work, so for any looking for the solutions simply go to /home/(username)/.wine/system.reg and change the user name and the organisation either delete it or enter something, I entered my user name but I left the organisation blank but I left the quote marks that were there. Save it and the product code thingy should not appear again.
how to synchronize Microsoft Outlook with whatever office app of LINUX? What are the office solutions that are offered by linux or what can we compile?I have some CSV files from outlook but it is annoying to daily try to export those.How to synchronize the ubuntu machine, with for instance ethernet
I've ran into something rather odd. I've installed wine and Office 2007. If I am to open a office 2003 (doc) or office 2007 (docx) file, it will open wine and office 2007 to edit the file. This is the desired behaviour. If I am to open an office 2003 (doc) file in firefox, openoffice will be opened. If I am to do the same with an office 2007 (docx) file, wine and office 2007 will open.where to start to get wine/office 2007 to open files from firefox?
I just found out about Libre Office. I am currently using Open Office on my Netbook (ubuntu 10.10), and NeoOffice on my Macbook (OS/X 10.6.7).
QUESTION: I have some backups using these formats: .sdw, and .odt. Can Libre Office read documents saved in these (StarOffice / Open Office) formats?
FWIW: I would have preferred to use OO on both machines, but unfortunately OO never fixed a problem with printing envelopes in the Macintosh version. Hence my use of NeoOffice.
I have both installed, but since LO is going to be the way Ubuntu goes for office applications, can I easily have my system setup for native LO? Native being if I double clock on a .doc file it will start up LO's Write program instead of OO.Will just removing OO achieve this or is there an easier way? I looked for file associations and didn't find it.
Sometime ago I realized my Open Office had changed, I don't remember having done anything in particular but today it isn't the regular open office but what I believe is a KDE version or idk. The theme changed and instead of regular menus I get "window" menus, in the sense that they get effects as regular windows. It's hard to explain it.

I tried uninstalling it and installing open office and also in the soft center open office is more than once, but I tried the different versions and I still get the same problem.
i installed mysql 5.1, the workbench and glassfish along with netbeans for an application I plan to build using the java EE. Glassfish is on local host 8080 and when I installed mysql after that, trying to start mysql from command prompt or even connecting through the workbench gives me error. for example going through the terminal and just typing mysql gives me: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) what should I do so both servers can run at the same time when deploying my application? on windows this is all handled for me. but apparently thats not the case on ubuntu
installed mysql type yum install mysql tells me nothing to do - up to date
type mysql responds ERROR 2002 - cant connect to local MYSQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Lost in tons of documentation - sun docs very general and maybe its there but I'm getting dizzy looking. How to get to the point where I can get an mysql> prompt?
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). I've had this problem to the point where I thought I messed up my actual configuration so bad that I reinstalled Ubuntu to get rid of all the MySQL configuration; I ran MySQL through Windows with a breeze, but I'm getting some errors like that after restarting my computer just a few minutes ago and I have not changed anything in my SQL settings. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and running MySQL 5.1. the actual error that I get from Navicat and from the website is at [URL]... Update: 20110402. Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed. Just got that when I tried to log in to phpmyadmin.
I installed Puppy Linux on a partition on an older 2000-era computer. The other partition had Windows ME, which crashed and burned recently. Lately, the computer has started to open GRUB very slowly. It is also slow to boot Puppy Linux from there. I reinstalled GRUB, to no avail. I decided that the problem was probably a slow BIOS, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know of another possible problem, or of a good boot-disk BIOS diagnostic tool? I tried using a couple of the tools on the Ultimate Boot Disk, but they all got hung up, displaying: - InitDisk as the last line in the sequence.
I have installed the mysql server on my ubuntu. I need to assign or reset the root password. I followed the article at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/reset-the-...-on-mysql.html. When I ran the command

After having my Ubuntu 9.10 for more than 2 months and being so happy about it, it has suddenly collapsed. I do not know if collapse is the best word to describe it but it looks like but hopefully has not.
It happened like this: I switched off the computer before leaving for a 10 days trip and no problems. When I came back and switched on the computer but it was impossible to start. The screen first showed the following message:
Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL D will terminate this shell and re-try. root@pablo-laptop:~#
I force the laptop to switch off and switch it on again. It gave me options to initialize under different versions of Karmic Koala but none work. (It gave me the option of making a memory (or file system, I do not remember well) test which I did and says there was no problem). In all the cases it went back to the message above.
I tried Control + D but again nothing. It displayed a page of information of which I write a part of it:
[Code]....
To see all the info after Control + D you can see the attachement (althoug not too clear)
If you can not see well the picture and the info on it I can try to make it better or transcript it.
I installed karmic koala 9.10 via the wubi installer in a separate partition with windows 2000 being the original operating system. Now nothing boots. I use to get a 'missing ntldr' message but lately I just get a grub loading error: 'no such partition' then a 'grub rescue>' prompt and nothing else. I've tried the numerous help pages in order to see what is wrong but always get stuck when something they say to do doesn't work for me and then I don't know what to do next. I can run koala from the installation cd and can see the contents of both the linux and windows partitions. The grub folder is there too but I haven't been able to reinstall it. What I should be doing to get this drive to boot? I'm still at the stage that I require all the specifics details on *how* it should be done especially with command lines instructions.
I had to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 after 9.04 stopped being supported and now I can't run Quicken 2000 Basic in WINE anymore when it ran just fine under 9.04 using WINE When I try to install it from the CD ROM it gives me this error The file '/media/QWINMMR1F/install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. So I copied all the files from the Quicken CD to my hard drive and installed it from that folder and it completed installation without any installation errors but when I run Quicken and try to open the qdata.qdf file Quicken gives me a "can't open file" error.
I then removed WINE and installed the latest BETA Version now I can install from the CD but still get the "can't open file" error from Quicken. It worked fine under 9.04 and WINE and I could update the info in Ubuntu and it would show up under Windows and if I'd update in Windows it would show up under Linux. Now in Ubuntu 10.04 it does not work.
Ubuntu has suddenly decided that it want's the Ambiance theme to look like Windows 2000?!? the borders and icons of the theme are all OK however the controls have gone windows retro style?(im using 64bit if this makes a difference)
I have been trying for a week now to install ubuntu on my windows 2000. I have followed both the usb and cd install to the t with no prevail. it seams that it wont boot to disk or recognize and boot to usb. I have test this on both of my windows 2000 computers and i gotten the same problems.
today i install centos x86_64 in my server, but /proc/cpuinfo display 2000Mhz . My processor model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, before the server had centos i386 and display 2800Mhz.
I need a new OS and heard about Suse for the longest time and wanted to give it a go. It's gonna be hard to let go of Win 2k, but with support degrading I need a OS that's rock stable like 2k. My main concern is application compatibility so I can run my current windows app in Suse. Ultimately I would want a multiboot so I don't lose windows 2k.

I love foobar 2000 but I'm always trying to shy away from windows apps. What are your recommendations as "good" replacements for foobar 2000? So far I have tried: Amarok - Crashes all the time, and keeps saying it can't play mp3s. Used to love this app, but seems broken for me now. Even if I reinstall it. Rhythmbox - Great, but reports the wrong bitrate on all my songs. It is very important for me to know the correct bitrate for uploading to certain sites. Audacious - Way to simple and winamp like. Bangarang - No.
My Update Manager just came on and announced an update for Windows NT/2000 Terminal server. I am only running Ubuntu 10.04 on my system and have no Windows material. Why am I receiving this useless announcement? I have no desire to keep adding useless applications to my HD. Is there any way to delete this item from the Update Manager?
Having trouble handling JPEG-2000 files. Message says I need some plugin. I've checked in Synaptic and there are a couple of packages installed by default that mention JPEG 2000 but obviously I need something else. Any ideas?
