I can not seem to import my OE mail folders into Outlook on my new PC.

My new PC is Vista and my old PC is XP.

Before I disconnected my old PC, I copied the e-mail folders and addresses
onto my external hard drive. I thought that I could just import them from
there. I was somehow able to get the adresses in, but not the e-mail
folders.

I select: import - import internet mail and addresses - Outlook Express
X.X - select import mail. The only thing it does is import the one e-mail I
have in my inbox over and over again.

So how do I tell it to import .dbx files from a different folder into the
new .pst folder environment?

Thanks, John

See if this will help:

You must first configure Windows Mail to use your old OE data. You can then
export to Outlook from Windows Mail.
