Now have started OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the first time.
Want to load my contacts list from my Outlook 2003. Exported the Contacts onto a network server location as a .pst file. When in OWA, in the Contacts area, cannot fine a button for importing data. Will be needing to import some mailbox contents too. How to import sentbox and inbox to OWA ? We are using Exchange for the first time, but years worth of Outlook mail stored in local .pst files. -- Thanks Robert |

What I don't understand is your not seeing them already. Both Outlook and OWA should be referencing the same mailbox sho both should see the same data, unless you were delivering your data to a PST in Outlook. If so, then just fire up Outlook and drag the contents of the PST's folders into corresponding folders in the Exchange account.. -- Brian Tillman |

Okay. I understand why OWA cannot accept imported data.
Since this is a brand new Exchange server and is void of any email or contacts is probably why none are visible. Up until this point my users have been using Outlook as a POP3 client (5+ years). Even when I create an account in Outlook that is to be an Exchange account, it appears ready to interact with the server on a future basis. But has no idea about existing data. You mention Fire up Outlook and drag contents of .pst into "corresponding folders in Exchange account", there does not seem to be any new folders created when I create the Outlook account for the Exchange server. Just the same old Outllook folders exist. I am baffled how to migrate my existing users onto the Microsoft Exchange server. It is starting to seem like they will have to start fresh...or... I'll have to continue using POP3 and SMTP (like we always have) and I will get no new features that Exchange provides. Thanks for your help. -- Thanks "Brian Tillman" wrote: rhodes2010 wrote: Now have started OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the first time. Want to load my contacts list from my Outlook 2003.

It appears that my rules have mysteriously made it from my PC up
to the server and now are shown as un-modifiable shadows in the OWA rules section. This gives me cause to be optimistic. Is there some sort of Synchronize feature to allow new Exchange clients to upload exisitng content (contacts and mail) into the Exchange server ? My Rules showed up . . . -- Thanks "Brian Tillman" wrote: rhodes2010 wrote: Now have started OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the first time. Want to load my contacts list from my Outlook 2003.

Using their current mail profiles, have them add the Exchange account to the profile. They'll now have access to both their Exchange mailbox and their PST. Drag-and-drop. -- Brian Tillman |
