export outlook express emails to an account within outlook 2003

[zillah]

Hi

The situation is as follows :

I have got two different accounts within outlook express mailto:[email protected] and mailto[email protected]

On outlook 2003 I have got 3 other different accounts ( two of them are alreday existing : mailto:[email protected], and mailto:[email protected] ) and the third one will be mailto[email protected]

I created a folder withing outlook 2003 and I named it "InboxForImportedOperation"

I would like to move messages for ( mailto[email protected]) account that are categorized into folders (24 folder with different names) within the inbox from Outlook Express to the specific folder (named InboxForImportedOperstion ) within outlook 2003 on the same PC.

After I move that from OE to outlook 2003 I will delete account (mailto[email protected]) from OE.

Would it be possible to preserve the custom made folders within Outlook Express inbox when we migate them to outlook 2003 ?

Thanks.

Move all the custom folders OUT of the inbox. (BTW, you should NEVER have
been using the Inbox in OE to store messages - you have been very lucky that
they have not been corrupted) The EXPORT from OE to Outlook. The Folders you
have created should be exported in their entirety.

How can I assure that those exported folders (i.e 24 folders see my early thread please) from OE will be stored in the folder that I had created within the outlook 2003 (named : InboxForImportedOperstion) ???

Create a folder in OE with the same name. Move all your other folders into
it. Then export. You might have to delete the folder you have already
created in Outlook first...
