The migration process involves three steps:
Note! some steps of this procedure
refer to Outlook Express, not Outlook. Be sure you are in the correct
application.
Moving your address book entries from Netscape to your Outlook
contacts folder:
-
In Netscape Communicator, on the Communicator menu, click Address Book.
-
In Address Book, click Export on the File menu.
-
A new window titled Export As will open. In the Save as type: box, make
sure the type LDIF(*.ldif) is selected.
-
In the File name: box, type
C:\addresses.ldif
-
Click the Save button and close Netscape Messenger and Communicator.
-
Open Outlook Express.
-
In Outlook Express, on the File menu, click Import, and then click
Other
Address Book.
-
In the Address Book Import Tool box, click LDIF - LDAP Data Interchange
Format, then click Import.
-
A new window titled Open will appear. In the File name: box,
type
C:\address.ldif
then click the Open button.
-
Click OK when you receive the Address Book import process has completed
prompt.
-
Click Close on the widow titled Address Book Import Tool.
-
In Outlook Express, on the File menu, click Import and Export.
-
In the Import and Export Wizard, click Import Internet Mail and Addresses,
and then click Next.
-
In Select the Internet Mail application to import from, click to select
Outlook Express 4.x, 5. Verify that Import Addresses is selected. Because
Outlook Express does not import Netscape Messenger rules, this option can be
ignored for the Outlook conversion. Click Next.
-
In Select a destination for Imported Addresses, click Outlook Contacts
Folder, and then click Finish.
Note: Distribution lists (groups of email addresses) do not import
properly in to Outlook. After the import, you will need to re-add email
addresses to your distribution lists.
Moving your local mail folders from Netscape to your
Outlook mailbox:
-
In Outlook Express, on the File menu, click Import, and then click
Messages.
-
In the Outlook Express Import Select Program box, click Netscape
Communicator, and then click Next.
-
In Location of Messages, click Browse to navigate to the Mail folder where
Messenger stores messages. The following is the typical path:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\<User name>\Mail
where <User name> is the name of the Netscape profile to be imported.
-
Click the Mail folder, click OK, and then click Next.
-
In Select Folders, click to select All Folders, or click Selected Folders,
and then click the individual folders to import. You can use the CTRL key to
select multiple folders. Click Next.
-
After the message conversion is completed, click Finish, and then
quit
Outlook Express.
-
Open Outlook (not Outlook Express).
-
In Outlook, on the File menu, click Import and Export.
-
In the Import and Export Wizard, click Import Internet Mail and Addresses,
and then click Next.
-
In Select the Internet Mail application to import from, click to select
Outlook Express 4.x, 5. Verify that Import Mail is selected. Because Outlook
Express does not import Netscape Messenger rules, this option can be ignored
for the Outlook conversion. Click Next.
Note: Mail transferred in this way goes in to the mailbox on the server
and counts against your quota.
Moving your Netscape Calendar information to your Outlook calendar:
- Log into Netscape Calendar.
-
Select File > Export Data from the top menu.
-
In the Export Utility menu, select vCalendar.
-
On the vCalendar Agenda tab, in the section labeled period: select the all
push button. For the file name,
enter a c: in front of the default file name that is given. Click OK.
-
After you receive the message that the information was successfully
exported, click OK.
-
Open Outlook.
-
In Outlook, select File > Import and Export Data.
-
Select Import an iCalendar of vCalendar file (.vcs) and click Next.
-
Navigate or browse to the location of your exported vCalendar file (c:\*.vcs).
Select the file. Change the Files of Type: to vCalendar format (*.vcs).
-
Outlook will then import all the exported data.
Note: This will successfully transfer all meetings from Netscape to
Outlook; however, any Notes created in Netscape will be automatically
converted into Meetings once imported into Outlook 2000.
