Importing OE 6 folders from ME to XP?

[mudhutkaty]

Hello,
My question is in regards to importing Outlook Express folders from a
machine with Windows ME to a machine with Windows XP. The XP machine
already has folders set up with many ancestry mails that cannot be
lost. If I export from the ME to the XP machine will the current XP
folders and mail be deleted from the XP machine or just added to the
current XP OE folders? Sorry if this is confusing but I have been
unable to find any answer on this. I just am not sure if the old OE
folder contents will be added to the new OE folder contents without
deleting the new OE folder mail. Thanks

Katy

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

My apologies Milly. I read many, many postings and responses on
Outlook Express in this forum so considered it a good source. I guess
I was wrong. All the best.

And most of them tell folks to post where the experts hang out - this forum
handles Outlook questions, which are hard enough sometimes.
