Guest witsend2004 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 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

You should be importing from a store folder, meaning the folder containing all the DBX files, *including* the folders.dbx file. HTH -pk

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? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ witsend2004 wrote: > When I try to import folders from Outlook Express to Outlook, nothing > happens.

Guest Roady [MVP] Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Re: Importing folders from OE to Outlook 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. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message news:uNX2S$p8IHA.4108@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > [X-post to OL General] > > 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? > -- > ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) > MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 > AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net > DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ > > > witsend2004 wrote: >> When I try to import folders from Outlook Express to Outlook, nothing >> happens.
