Export/Importing Addressbook & Emails

[Guest]

How do I export emails and address book from OE running on a laptop with Win
Me to a desktop with Win XP and Outlook. Is there a step-by-step guide
somewhere? Thanks

Can't be done. Outlook and OE must be on the same partition to do any
importing between them.
Go to an OE group and ask how to import your data from one installation of
OE to another.
Once you do, it is simple to use Outlook's Import Wizard to import from OE
into Outlook.

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
outlook express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

right, I think I get it. Transfer the data across to Outlook Express on my
new computer (which I find out to do through the OE newsgroup) and then copy
it from OE to O on the new computer.
Thanks

A good tool for this is OE Backup. See

Export from OE to OL, otherwise all time stamps will be amended
