Outlool & Outlook Express

[alfamike]

My copy of Outlook 2000 failed to work for about a month, but I was able to use Outlook Express.

Now I’ve got Outlook working again, I want to transfer all the Express messages I received and sent, back to Outlook. I’ve no idea how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't got outlook or OE on this machine.

If I remember rightly, its - File > Export messages (in Express) - then run outlook, and do File > Import messages, and choose the same file that you saved from OE.

All IIRC ()

You can export directly between programs, I think from outlook you can import -> From Program -> Outlook Express.

Alternatively i think Outlook Express offers the funcion Export -> to Program -> Outlook

Get Mozilla Thunderbird instead!! It works better than Outlook and will import everything you want for you!

It depends what you are trying to do. Thunderbird is a great mail client but it cant tie into exchange servers to handle meetings and so on. For that you need Evolution.
