I got the dreaded email saying outlook 2007 will stop working in september 2024 but am very confused.
Bit of background, we run a small family partnership and have 20 years of archive .pst files. We use outlook 2007 to store our customers details in the address book along with their order details, customer number etc. Plus we use the calendar for important dates like tax and when to pay suppliers.
We have our own domains (9 in total with several email address for each - about 30 email addresses) which we download the emails from into outlook 2007 so we can store those emails and orders in the .pst file and easily find them again plus archive them each year. Outlook gives us the choice of if the emails should be removed from the server or not - some we do and some we don't for various reasons.
I have downloaded thunderbird as that is what was suggested as a replacement. Tried importing, some things came across and some didn't. Some emails, except those in the sent folder, came across. None of the accounts came across nor the address book. The folder tree was very odd too as all folders were under a folder called "outlook import". I had added my hotmail address when i first opened thunderbird and then added one of our domains emails manually, it showed all the folders in that domain email, that is not really want i wanted, i just want to download the emails in the inbox of our email address. Then i would move it to where it needed to be - orders, customer questions, suppliers emails etc.
I then saw in the help files that i should use the 31 version then upgrade after importing, so i started again.
I started with the address book as that is very important as i have 31k in there. Very little info came across, some were missing names, some missing customer numbers, and it is very difficult to get to the "other" field which contains all their order numbers. With outlook all of that is there when you open a contact AND when you view as a list.
So my questions to start with are .....
1. Which version of thunderbird should i be using to import outlook 2007?
2. How do i get all the contact info over?
3. How can i make the address book interface more user friendly?
4. Is outlook 2007 actually going to stop working for how we work or have i been misled?
Hope someone can help or point me in the direct of other help available. I have already read a lot of the help files, questions and answers and felt so confused i thought i would just ask :-)
