Importing From Outlook Express

[PhantomPoster]

On my new computer I have Vista and Office 2007. On the old computer Win98
and OE 5.0.

I have copied the mail boxes to the new computer but there does not seem to
be a process to import the emails. When I use the wizard it does not allow
me to specify where the emails are and therefore Outlook cannot locate the
files. Same with Windows Mail.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try doing an export from OE rather than an import in Outlook.

OE5 and OE6 use the same folder format. You should be able to import your
DBX files into Windows Mail and then export the messages from there to
Outlook.

I tired and Mail could not find any messages. I guess becuase OE is not
installed, Mail does know where to look for the OE files.

So, you're not given the chance to import from files?
