Outlook Express to Outlook - help

[cptsideways]

Doing a bit of tidying up & updating, plus I've got a new wonder phone.

So plug new phone in with active sync, (previous phone used it too) wont accept the dates. So I back them up just in case. I've normally use OE as my mail client as I find Outlook a bit of a pain, so re-installed it thinking that was the problem.

Now how do I get my emails tranferred across?? as Outlook can't find them, I have my email storage folder in My Documents for easy backup & location. In Outlook theres no default "return the location to standard button".


Any suggestions?

Are they OE or Outlook files that you want to find... Different file structure, but it can be done.

There is a button to export message from OE under: File > Export > Messages.

I think this is how i moved my messages.

Default MAPI store could not be found, is that the problem?

I appear to have no application data folder in c/windows either??

That folder is just hidden.... Sounds like you're in full Outlook configured to talk to Exchange server. You just need to remove Exchange (It'll give you a warning) and then add personal folders. Browse to your backed up .PST file and away you go.

Microsoft said said:

Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The .DLL file for the information service could not be found. MAPI was unable to load the information service PSTPRX.DLL. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured

Off the top of my head, reconfigure outlook support. Add and remove the POP service

Hmmmm deleting outlook..... removes all office apps! great, re-installed now outlook keeps crashing. OE is ok though.

What a nightmare, any suggestions.. I spose a complete re-install might be the only answer?
