Missing messages after upgrade to Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I migrated one of my users from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003. All messages
were imported except the Deleted Items and the Sent Items. It may be due to
the size. The Sent Items.dbx is 321MB and the Deleted Items.dbx is 746MB. My
warnings to keep the messages "cleaned-up" were unheeded. However, I need to
give the user an opportunity to filter through the email to see which ones
she wants to save in another format, etc. Since the upgrade, they are not
even visible via Outlook Express (apparently Outlook Express created
replacement folders, which are currently empty), but the files still exist in
the original directory. Is there any way I can get to the emails in these
large mailboxes?

You can go to http://www.insideoe.com for lots of help with the OE files, how
to recover the data, etc. As for Outlook, what method did you use to migrate
the data?

I installed Outlook 2003, and then used File --> Import/Export to try to
import the Outlook Express messages. All of the message folders were imported
except for the ones I listed in the opening message. Any ideas on how to work
around this and get these messages into Outlook?
