Switching Over from Netscape Messenger - Please Help!

[Alex]

Hi, I'm finally biting the bullet and switching over to Outlook 2003 from
Netscape Messenger 7.1. I have a handful of questions and would immensely
appreciate any assistance...

1) I have nearly a thousand important e-mails archived in folders in my
Netscape Messenger. How can I transfer/import these e-mails/e-mail folders
into Outlook?

2) I also have hundreds of contacts/address books in my Netscape Messenger.
How can I transfer/import these e-mails/e-mail folders into Outlook?

3) If you have Outlook on a home and work computer, is it possible to
sync/copy your calendar and contacts between the computers?

4) Is it possible to compose e-mails in Outlook in text as opposed to HTML?
If so, how do you change these settings?

5) If you're sending an e-mail to a contact in Outlook, and that contact has
multiple e-mail addresses, what do you do if you want to second it to their
second or third e-mail address (not their first e-mail address, which seems
to be the default)? What if you want to send the e-mail to all of their
e-mail addresses?

Thanks again for any and all help!


Best,
Alex

Can you export your netscape data ie Contacts into Excel? If so most of what
you have can be imported (Mapped) in. When you run the import you will need
to drag your Excel fields to the matching fields in Outlook.

I have done this with Appts and Contacts. I'm assuming the same could happen
with e-mails. I would get some more feedback on that.

It helps to become familair with what database fields Outlook has before you
map in the data. Or just do some planning on where each field will go. Some
may be different and you might need a custom field, etc.
