Merging Outlook Express Files to Outlook Files

[Guest]

I have all of my OE files saved on a disk. Now I am using Outlook (full) on
a new computer. How to I append my old OE e-mails to my new Outlook e-mails,
so that I can see all of my old OE e-mails along wth my new Outlook e-mails
when I boot up Outlook (full)?

You first have to configure your OE files with OE. Then from within OE
choose Export to migrate them to Outlook.

I am not sure what you mean by "configure your OE files with OE"; can you
give me a clue. Thanks

In OE, click Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store Folder

You need first to import your OE files from the disk you saved them to, into
OE on the new machine.
Go here to read how to do that:

Then. in OE, export your email to Outlook. Do NOT import from within Outlook
as you will lose all the modified dates, which is what Outlook uses for
sorting the mail.

Oh and BTW, OE is NOT a "lite" version of Outlook - they are two totally
different applications.
