Importing email from Outlook Express

[BusDriver]

Hi,

When importing my old email from Outlook Express, the "Email Account
field is not properly transferred.

If I import the messages before creating any email accounts in Outlook
then the "Email Account" fields for all messages transfer as empty. I
I then create an email account, all fields are then set to this accoun
name, disregarding the actual account used in Outlook Express t
send/receive each message.

Does anyone know whether this is a limitation of the import function o
is there a way to fix this?


Many thanks,
BD.

empty.

What "Email account" field? I don't see that field on any message in
Outlook.

By the way, it's best to export messages from Outlook Express to Outlook.
It preserves more of the message information than importing using Outlook.
