Importing local folders from outlook express 6 to outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a new PC DELL and along with that I have ordered
MS office 2003(It came with installation). My old computer has Outlook
express 6.0 and I have some local folders on it. I want to bring all the
local folders on to my new PC to outlook 2003. I see all the local folders
are .dbx extension and I am not able to import as it does not show any such
option as dbx files or outlook express.

Can any body give steps on how to solve my problem...

Copy *all* of the .dbx files over to your new computer's hard drive and use
Outlook Express' File > Import command to import all of the messages into
Outlook Express on the new machine. After they're in Outlook Express, use
Outlook Express' File > Export to export the messages into Outlook 2003.
