Can I import my old gmail emails to outlook.com?

I have several giga of emails on my local OutLook and I need to export it to Gmail ​ What is the best and none tech way to do it ? ​
 

The question really says all about what I want to do, or need help on. I recently signed up for a new outlook account to try out the new outlook preview and I've set up gmail to automatically forward new messages to my outlook account so that I can use outlook to manage my gmail account.

Do any of you know how I would be able to forward the old messages, and not the new ones, to my outlook? I already know that they can be fetched into outlook by outlook's very own service, forwarding would be faster, so..?! Also, since I now use outlook to send email on behalf of my gmail account, how do I make it sync each email I send using outlook with my gmail - so that gmail has it all?

TY in advance. Please do help.

my outlook is no longer sending mail and I want to use gmail instead. I was able to migrate the contacts over, but am unable to pull my inbox into gmail. I have the file of exported inbox messages in a .csv file but gmail will only allow me to import into the contacts section, not the mail section.

Let me know if you have any ideas..thanks!!

Just installed Windows 7 And I'm looking around for an answer on how to import my emails and address book.I was on XP and Made the Backup of my Address Contact File and also the Outlook Express Folder.Can you help?ThanksRob

Before reformatting Hdd, I exported all emails and folders to a folder in My Docs and then put the whole of my docs onto CD as a backup.Now Having reinstalled XP I cannot get Outlook Express to import the info either from My Docs or CD even though I browse the correct path and you can see the folders and items if you open the relevant directory.What am I missing?

Hi,

I have a friend who uses Yahoo Business Email. He has it setup on Outlook at his office using the setting and everything but when he did send/receive, it downloaded all the emails from yahoo and deleted from the server. Their were other emails in his outlook that weren't on Yahoo Business email. Is their a way to import or transfer all the emails from Outlook back to yahoo web interface so he can view his emails from home.

I know this happened because of POP but since yahoo doesn't offer IMAP, I can't find any other way to transfer his emails back to yahoo. Any help?
 

Still not liking Mail and Contacts. Is anyone using Outlook 2016 for email on Windows 10 without issue? Are you able to import mail and contacts from WLM into Outlook OK?

I use Outlook 2010 which syncs to my IMAP Gmail account.
This works very well.

Today something happening in Outlook (I might have dragged something, I don't know) and my mails (12,500 of them) ended up in Outlook's deleted items folder. Some Gmail folders just vanished, like Sent Items, Bin and Spam.

I immediately quit Oulook before it synced so all my mails are still safe on Gmail's servers. I checked via logging in to the Gmail website and also disabled IMAP to be safe.

I need some advice on how to fix the emails in Outlook.
I'm afraid that if I start syncing the mails will be lost from Gmail.
I also don't want to start a new Outlook .pst file as there are many gigs of emails to sync.

Does anyone have some advice?
Thanks

Hi, when I searched the forums for posts on Microsoft outlook I found posts in the windows and the computer software areas, a majority of the posts appeared here so I thought I'd try posting here.Okay, here's my situation: I currently have an email account with Adelphia and I use Microsoft Outlook 2003 to access that it account.  I setup Outlook so that when I receive the emails from the Adelphia account Outlook removes them and transfers them to Outlook (meaning a copy of the emails don't remain in my Adelphia inbox).  I've decided that I want to stop using Outlook, mainly due to the fact that it makes it difficult to access my emails from computers not on my network account.  I've decided to switch to a gmail account (for other reasons involving irritation with Adelphia).My problem is that I can't figure out how to get my emails from Outlook 2003 to my new gmail account.  I've looked in the questions and answers section, the forum, and both faq on gmail and outlook official pages and still can't figure it out.  I think I've figured out a way to redirect new incoming mail, but that's not my concern what I need is to redirect my old emails.  I know that I could just forward all of my old emails to my new gmail account, but that will be a huge hassle and the emails would then show up as being sent from me and not the original sender.  If I can't figure out another solution I'll do th...

Hi there,

I've recently set my parents up with a Gmail account but am having problems with transferring their emails from an Outlook PST file to their new account. I've tried following the tutorial at the link below without success - mainly due to the fact that Outlook seems to be very unstable on their machine (hence the change to Gmail).

Export and Backup Emails from Outlook to Gmail Online

Are there any other ways of migrating these emails across to their new account? Note that the migration tool offered by Google does not work as the Gmail account isn't connected to Google Apps for Business.

One possible solution is that I could migrate their emails via my Google Apps for Business account though I imagine it would take forever to then forward these emails onto them (most likely manually using the Forward) option?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi All,

I use outlook for about 4 email addresses (work and personal). I also do volunteer work for a charity and have an email address for that which is a gmail account.

I have tried repeatedly to set this gmail account up in Outlook but it didn't work. The only way I have found is to have two separate outlook account where I choose if I want to open my normal account of the charity account but cannot do both at the same time.

This is very frustrating as I need to be able to see my calendar and contacts when using the charity account.

Please help
 

I use Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP and all emails I send to gmail.com accounts are appearing as blank with 'noname' attachments.

How can I fix this problem? It only started happening suddenly
 

Until two days ago I had no problems sending gmail via SMTP.gmail.com. Now I get an error message saying 'Your outgoing server does not support SSL-Secured connections." No changes were made to the email account settings. I have checked them : the ports are correct and the SSL box is ticked for both incoming and outgoing ports. I use Norton and MS and both do automatic updates from time to time. I wonder if some update is causing the difficulty? Any ideas about what could be blocking my outgoing messages would be appreciated.
 

I want our gmail emails to come into and be sent from our Microsoft Outlook program.. we have a slingshot email which is doing this, but none of our gmail emails are. I think that the incoming and outgoing settings are correct for the gmail address, so don't know what to do next..

in outlook 2010, i understand one can use a gmail account without actually opening up the gmail account, that is he can run the account from outlook, does that mean one can delete messages also, just like a regular account.
when i try to delete a message, it deletes it from the inbox of that gmail account in outlook 2010, but under the gmail folder it updates itself, and downloads it again, even after i delete it from the gmail folder also.

thanks.

I have a Windows 10 phone. I use the Outlook Mail app that comes with the phone. My current email is a Gmail. When I loaded my phone I used my Microsoft account, which is also linked to my gmail account. In outlook, I made sure to ADD my GMAIL account and use the snych settings for email, calendar and contacts.
Calendar is great, contacts are great. When I check my emails, the emails come in just fine.
When I delete an email in the outlook app on my phone. The email is still in my GMAIL. I have tried to look up different things I can do but I can only find responses that do not work.
I would really like to use the Outlook app for my phone, but sometimes I do check my email on a computer. I would like those 2 to work with each other. Not by themselves.

I've been using outlook 2007 to send and recieve emails for the past 3 years or so (recieving from my website's pop server, and sending through gmail --- my website's domain has been flagged for spamming). Last week, I started getting this error message as I noticed that emails aren't being sent:

"none of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server"

I've tried double checking my login info, server settings, firewall, and even tried sending emails over a different network (work, home, starbucks..etc). I also changed the port number and security type as advised by gmail's troubleshooting...

Anyone have a hint for me???

Thanks

Thanks again for the replies to my previous post -the reinstall has fixed the problems with regards to Windows Updates, yet I have another problem that I can't sort out by myself and I'll need some help. This is what's happened-: I said before that I've since formatted the PC, and have put Windows XP Pro back on there.Yesterday, I went to my "saved" emails location in a folder on my D:\ drive to re-import my emails back into Outlook Express, or so I thought. This is so that I can put my old emails back before downloading the new ones that I have waiting for me at present. I went to carry out the Import in Outlook Express and got this error message: - "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have files open." The messages are there in the folder on the other hard drive!!! - I can see them in Windows Explorer. I can't see what the problem is as I've always imported messages and contacts by using the Import command in Outlook Express and carried out the Import from the folder on the D:\ drive back to the C:\ drive. Do you have any ideas as to what is going on - I really need to get my messages back as there are some important work emails within these messages that I need to access. Please reply at your earliest convenience as I'm really desperate as I don't know where to go without having the old emails back on my PC in the first place. How do I g... Read more

I wanted to reformat my laptop, so therefore needed to transfer my emails too. i have done this in the past with no problem. So I went to find where they are stored and got this:C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin Carroll\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{8AE1C31C-FE58-480B-9EE7-3E57DAB5F302}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Inbox.dbxMy Inbox had several sub folders with a lot of emails in them. I tried to go to the above location just to see that all the folders were there. But I couldnt find it with Windows Exploere, and still cant. Theres no "local settings". Anyway I dont knwo what i did but somehow moved all the folders to a thumb drive. I think I may have just copied and pasted them. And put them all in a master folder called OE. So now Im up and runnin with my reformatted laptop. I moved OE to my desktop, and tried to import. When I import I get a big list of all the folders/emails, all seem to be listed together. Now there all empty!!! But they ARE in OE with dbx extensions, and are not empty, they are a few kb each. I cant seem to import them. Also BEFORE I imported them, I had received some email today, and stored them in a folder. But when I imported, or tried to, the OE stuff, all the new ones disappeared. Im at my wits end... what hve i done wrong, and can it be undone?Many thanksKC

Hi All,

I have a mailbox full of a hell of alot of email, which should of been sent to users. However because the email addresses wernt set up right the emails went into the catch all.

Is there a way of taking these emails and putting them back into Exchange to be routed to the users? I cant think how to do it that way.

Thanks
 

I now have my Yahoo Mail Plus account set up in Microsoft Office. My inbox imported OK, how do I import my sent items, and any other emails (outbox etc. into Outlook

I am usually pretty computer savee for a number of decades now .. but have run into a situation where I am here to ask for help..
I do have windows 10 and I also have windows xp pro both on a Hardrive C: it is a dual boot hardrive . .when I boot up I have option of picking which O/S to choose .. I have windows XP for the simple reason of My wife ( login #2) Loves outlook express for her email and so do I .. Exchange is okay .. but Outlook express (6) is her favourite .. so to appease her I keep the dual boot option ..

Problem: when my Windows 10 with Creative version 1709 version 16299.125 ,,.. crashed on me last week I t froze and would not log into windows 10 it just display ed the BIG blue start symbol .. No matter what I did alt/control/delete/ safe mode it not log into windows .. BUT I had an ace up my sleeve ( so I thought )..

Option A - Last Sept 7th 2017 after deciding that my window 10 was running tip top I decided to use an option suggested to me in the settings / update and security / backup .. here there was an option to backup your windows to another Hard drive of which I used drive F.. I have three hard drives so lots of room in my PC ) did this and done at the time to Harddrive.

Problem 2-What I didn't consider was Windows backed up all of my Drive C and when I clicked on the folder ( under windows XP ( remember I can't log into windows 10 ) .. the restore not only backed up the C driveto windows 10 for the date of Sept 7th 2017 ..m, BUT ... Read more

Hello, So hoping I can get this resolved. I've spent days reading on here and haven't had any luck. Here's the problem. I have Windows XP. I guess since I purchased my computer in 03 I have OE3 (I know it's a dinosaur but need to get these emails before I buy my new computer). Out of nowhere all of my emails in my inbox were gone. I finally found them. I put them in a file on my desktop. I have many sub folders...Bill emails, saved emails, etc. They are all dbx files. I can't open any of them. I read stuff about inbox.bak but I don't see that anywhere. Under properties I found the location of each sub file. I then tried to import, but I received a message that OE was open. So, they wouldn't import. I'm not the best at following computer commands but can do okay. So, how can I import and be able to read these messages. I want to save some and delete a lot, but need to read them first. Help!
 

Hello,
I was unable to view every thread, so I apologize if this is a duplicate answered issue.

I'm attempting to import address book and email folders from old drive on to my new system. (Old Drive in same box) Nothing is happening. When I browse the path to reach the dbx. files nothing shows. When I look at the file through My Computer I can see the dbx.'s and then when I attempt to load them in OE, I get the following message.

[I]No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required fields open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have files open. [/I]

I don't see anything running.

As for the address book entries.. are they generally stored in a "Windows" file? I've been unable to find those. I have found files that say they are wab files however when I choose this (Through My Computer View) It opens an empty address book as if I am in OE.

Any advice is helpful..

THANKS
 

Hi,

I don't know if it's a bug, but my Netscape 4.79 mail crashes alot lately. I have never looked for an alternative before, but which stand alone email clients could you recommend that can perfectly import my NS 4.79 emails, is secure, and preferably has a similar interface. With similar interface I mean that I like the fact that in NS mail you can your layout so that your mail folders are top left, list of messages top right and the active message full width bottom. Is it true that with Outlook for example it's impossible to have your message full width of the screen (that the mail folders are always on the left)?!

Anyway, which email clients do you recommend that are similar to NS mail. Is Eudora a good choice? How is the layout as I explained above? Which others?

Thanks for all good suggestions!
 

My employer (School Board) requested all staff laptops be returned over summer so the OS could be upgraded from Win 7 Enterprise, so I did an export of my Outlook 2010 file to work on from home- they now want all Outlook profiles below 50 MB. My personal laptop (Win 7 Pro with Office 2010) died last Tuesday before I could import said file. New ASUS G771J laptop came with Win 8.1 Home which I upgraded yesterday to Win 10 Home. Employer is moving to Office 2013 so I installed the HUP version yesterday as well.
Am now trying to import a password protected Outlook 2010 file (backup.pst) that was backed up from the work Acer running Win 7 Enterprise computer and Office 2010. I use Thunderbird or Gmail as my email client so will not use Outlook 2013 beyond weeding through this mound of work emails.
Was on M$ Win 10 website
Import Outlook items from an Outlook Data File (.pst)
but get either "This Outlook data file (.pst) is already in use in the current profile" when using the export function or "We didn't find anything to show here" when I use the Open Data File (.pst) command from "Open & Export" from the File tab and point to the backup file from work.
Both backup files are named differently depending on the Outlook version 2010 (backup.pst) and 2013 (Outlook.pst) so I copy/pasted the 2010 file into the same folder as the 2013 file then renamed the 2013 file to Outlook.OLD hoping that would trigger Outlook to accept the 2010 file but Outlo...

I have tried to import my .WAB file from Microsoft Office Outlook 2002 to Outlook Express. I used File, Import from within Outlook Express. I select the .wab file to import, and I get a message in about 1/2 a second saying it has been done but no addresses are imported.
Do you have to have both programs open? Is there another way to import addresses into OE?
 

Basically, I need to know if it's possible to import data from outlook 2002 (XP) into outlook 2000. I'm creating a file filled with contacts for a person, they have 2000 and I have 2002.

I have been using the beta version of Office 2007 til it expired last month and during that time exported a back up of Outlook (contacts, calendar etc) to My Docs.
Not all that fussed with the '07 Office suite, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled Office 2002 but when I try to import the pst file to this earlier version of Outlook, it tellss me that it is not compatible and to contact the Administrator (me!).

If I cannot work around this somehow I intend laying on the railway tracks quite shortly as life without my files will no longer have any meaning to me!

I guess as a last resort I can download the latest trial of 2007 Office and see if that will let me re-import the backed up pst file but what a drama!
