dbx-files? If yes, copy the files from the cd to your harddisk and
uncheck write protection (Righclick | Properties)

Then import this files into Outlook Express

File | Import | Messages | Outlook Express | Import E-Mails from an
Outlook Express folder structure (or similary; I don't know the correct
names in an english Outlook Express)

Then export the mails from Outlook Express to Outlook

File | Export | Messages

Thanks, I think we have a plan for my friend. He can copy his dbx
files onto his hard drive or access the files directly on the cd by
opening outlook-file-import-select from another program.

No! You have to copy the file onto the hard drive and uncheck the write
protection.

 

[sstovall3]

ok, copy the dbx files onto the hard drive, uncheck the write
protection. open outlook, select file-import-from another program.

No ! Open Outlook Express(!!) and then

File | Import | Messages | Outlook Express | Import E-Mails from an
Outlook Express folder structure (or similary; I don't know the correct
names in an english Outlook Express)

Then export this files to Outlook

File | Export | Messages

i just checked my outlook2003, outlook express is not a listed option
to import from.

 

[sstovall3]

Thanks Christian, we will try something else, he no longer has access
to outlook express. Thanks for the help.

 

[Chuck Davis]

Thanks Christian, we will try something else, he no longer has access
to outlook express. Thanks for the help.

I'm puzzled by this statement: "...he no longer has access
to outlook express...." If he has Windows, he has Outlook Express...

EXPORT from Outlook Express unless your friend does not mind losing
important information, like received dates.

he no longer has access to outlook express.

Well, if Outlook Express is not on the computer, beside not being able
to transfer the .dbx files correctly, Outlook will not function
properly.

 

[sstovall3]

Thanks all for the replies, my friend and i are several hundred miles
apart. i haved advised him to come onto the group and explain if he
still has problems.
