Copying E-mail from OE to Outlook 2007
I'm new to discussion groups so please overlook it if I don't present the
question as clearly as needed. I need to move E-mail messages from Outlook Express 6 on a Win XP computer to Outlook 7 on a Win 7 computer. I found a Microsoft article on this, but the procedure required opening OE on the target computer, and Outlook Express is not installed on Win 7 machines. I presume the online article assumed the target machine was running Vista. If possible I'd like to keep the same mail folders as I will use the same topics on the new computer. Any help the community can provide will be greatly appreciated. |

The OP does not have OE installed. He is using Windows 7 and obviously the method you posted will not work. What he has is the *.dbx files which he has probably saved on a media. What I posted should sort his issue -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "Leonid S.

The link supplied by Brian looks like it will solve my problem. It appears
that those of us with Win 7 will have to install Windows Live Mail as part of the process of bringing in the old Outlook Express files. As soon as I have the time, I'll give the process a try and report on this thread how it worked out. Thanks for the help - much appreciated.
