[Trainer-Talk] [nfbcs] Outlook PST files?

[Reginald George]

I checked the direct import options for Windows Live Mail and verified that 
Outlook isn't one of the options.  I assume Microsoft doesn’t want you to 
downgrade.  Since free email has been problematic for so long now in 
Windows, many of my newer clients have learned to use the Gmail web 
interface to handle their email.  I am personally not comfortable with this 
option.  It still feels much more tedious for me for handling group lists 
and large amounts of messages daily.  I realize one can use Thunderbird and 
other programs, but it seems to be getting harder to find free PC based 
email solutions that are truly accessible especially for auto complete on 
the address list.  Microsoft claims to be updating the Windows 10 mail 
client, but I still don't  know if it will have half the functionality of 
Outlook.  However I'm not willing to recommend the overpriced purchase of 
Microsoft Office Home/Business for my high school and college student 
clients just so they can get Outlook without a specific business need.  So 
I'm left in a quandary.

Oh really?
So, MS 2016 is still somewhat of a challenge, huh?  Good to know.  I'm still
using 2013.
I've not had the need to upgrade yet.
Thanks, Curtis.  I appreciate the explanation.
Jim

Hello Jim:

If the person already has a .pst file, the only program that can deal with
that kind of file is Outlook. Therefore, on the newer computer, you have to
get Outlook and no other email program installed. The cheapest way to do
this is to subscribe to Office 365 and pay, either by the month or the year,
and get Office 2016 installed, much as it pains me to have to recommend
it<smile>. I myself am using Office 2016, which comes with everything,
including Outlook. Outlook has a few problems--especially with JAWS, but I
am using it, and it is working despite me having to beat it into
submission<smile>.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
