Ok, I am almost done. I managed to import all my messages from Outlook into The Bat! It was painful, but I managed.
What I had to do was this: 1) Import all my messages into Outlook Express 5 2) Import that into The Bat! Easy enough, except that Outlook Express only allows you to import the main PST file. I have 8 PST Files, so I had to import a PST file. Reconfigure Outlook to use the next PST file as the default (What joy that was), then repeat the process. Once everything was in Outlook Express, it was easy from there. Importing my contacts from Outlook is proving to me that Importing my messages was a walk in the park. I have tried everything from using The Bat! to import from a CSV to a third party program. All have failed. I'll start with the .CSV issue. I exported my contacts from Outlook to a CSV file. I open it up the Address book in The Bat! and tell it to import from a comma separated file. I then proceed to map my fields. When the import is "done", half my data is missing. Email addresses didn't get imported, phone numbers, etc... I then tried a third party utility (can't remember the name of it, I'm at work doing this from memory) and it doesn't convert to anything that contains all the information I want to move. Most formats it does only have the name and email address. I'm fairly pissed off about it right now because this is the final item I need to take care of and I've been fighting it for a day now. Give me the format of the Address book for The Bat! and I'll write something to import contacts from Outlook! I'll even give the source to The Bat! I'm ready to dump Outlook, but I'm not leaving without my contact information, and I am sure as hell not going to retype 266 contacts.
