Importing folders from OE to Outlook

[Guest witsend2004]

When I try to import folders from Outlook Express to Outlook, nothing

happens. Does anyone have a clue as to why it won't? Thanks

This is probably better asked in an Outlook group, but it would help to know

how it is you're trying to do this. You should be importing from a store

folder, meaning the folder containing all the DBX files, *including* the

folders.dbx file.

What version of OL are you running (e.g., OL 2003 SP3)?

 

Are you attempting to import OE data that you'd backed-up and saved on

another machine or are you attempting to import the data from OE on the

current machine?

Always use the Export function from within OE instead of the Import function

from within Outlook.

Outlook's import wizard has a high probability of resetting the received

date and resetting it to the import date.
