How to migrate OE6 pst into Office Outlook

[Phxreguy]

I have OE6 pst files on a remote hd. Tried to open the pst with Office
Outlook but got the file access denied message. Suggestions?

OE6 doesn't use PST files. Is the pst file marked read only? outlook needs
read-write access to the file.

The pst files are from my backup hd. I copied the folder into the new hd. I
want to migrate these files & folders to an installed trial copy of Office
2007. So far I configured Outlook, and tried to import the pst files via the
import but I get a message that I do not have permission. The file is not
marked read only.

Try moving them to your "Documents" or "My Documents" folder and open them in
Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File. Never use export/import to move
data from one Outlook to another. If the files still won't open, then take
ownership of them and try again.
