How to import OE6 into Outlook 2003?

[Gregg Hill]

Hello!

I have an old Win98 computer that has a handful of email accounts in Outlook
Express 6 that I want to import into a new XP Pro system running Outlook
2003. I exported the .IAF files from the old machine and imported them into
the XP system's Outlook Express, then started Outlook in the hope that it
would find the old accounts and import them. It does not find any old
accounts.

Is there a way to get account information from OE6 into Outlook 2003?

Thank you!

Use OE to EXPORT them to OL.

Alias,

How? The only export feature I see is for messages and the address book, not
accounts.

Well, I just figured it out. I rebooted the new system on which I had added
the OE accounts via importing the .IAF files, and now Outlook sees them and
imports the settings. I was hoping to get the passwords as well, since I do
not have access to their ISP to change accounts.

Thank you for helping!
