.dbx outlook express folders

[Bonnie]

I recently upgraded my company laptop and want to copy old & saved emails and
folders into my new Outlook Express. I need to find out if I the .dbx
folders i have in my data directory have the old saved emails. I have tried
using the export feature, but it does not seem to be working, most likely
user error!!

Look at the "Export" dialog box - you'll find if you read it that Export
only exports to Outlook (not Outlook EXPRESS - the two programs are entirely
different) or exchange.



Andalso:

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook

97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook

Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.



For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or

an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're

accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support

Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to

your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that

version number. Good luck!
