I tried a Thunderbird plugin with French error messages but that didn't work either. My problem was made worse because I had PC problems and could only save the pst file from a dying hard drive. I had to get my email back. There was information I needed and I had software keys for about 10 programs on it that I never backed up. After checking dozens of blogs and forums, it seemed the only way to move the data was to have Outlook installed. I found a program called pst walker here => [www.sharewaregenie.com] that let me read pst files directly and copy any attachments I need to other locations. I got all my data back and it saved my contacts too. I didn't like paying the registration fee but it was better than losing all my contacts and data in my email. I must have searched through more than 20 forums and blogs before I found this solution so I'm passing this information along to every site I visited. I appreciate the help I get from these forums and blogs and I'm happy I can give something back. MailSavR I tried to move my Outlook mail over to Thunderbird but nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your comment! First of all if you've just started with Lightning you might want to have a look at Spicebird.com first. About Google->Lightning: Does Lightning display google.cal and are you talking about my last statement to edit calender items to change the calender it belongs to? Or do you have trouble showing google cal stuff in Lightning at all? Anyway, it's been a while and I cannot remember details. However I do remember it wasn't always that easy especially with reoccurring events. So there is a chance it doesn't work at all for individual items. Hi Misia.

I hope you could help me. I followed your instructions, and I was able to import Outlook data to Google Calendar. However, which seems strange, I cannot get the data from Google calendar to Lightning. Any Idea why that can be?
