Problem importing from OE

[tom goc]

I have about 4 years of emails in Outlook Express (currently OE 6 that comes
with Win XP Pro SP2. I now want to migrate them all to Otulook 2003. I
have 2 problems with migrating the emails (tried both importing to Outlook
(performed on Outlook) and exporting to Outlook (performed on OE):
- A number of emails got the wrong date - they get today's date.
- When I click on or hover over the name of the sender/reciepient, it
doesn't show the email address. It is treated as if it is normal word.

Can you point me to the fix please - thanks.

Importing messages from OE using Outlook will change the received date of
messages to match the date of import. Instead, export them from within
Outlook Express. File>Export>Messages.

- When I click on or hover over the name of the sender/reciepient, it
doesn't show the email address. It is treated as if it is normal
word.

Hover over it where? I don't recall a feature like that in Outlook.

You might have more luck with Aid4Mail. It can read your Outlook Express
mail folders and export messages to MS Outlook. Dates, Sender/Recipient
addresses, and mail status information (unread, read, replied, etc.) are all
correctly restored. More information about Aid4Mail and a download link
available on the following Web site:
