Import into Outlook from Folder

[H@mst3r]

Hi all

Is there a free tool that is available for importing messages from a
folder into Microsoft Outlook 2002?

We have had computer problems, and have finally decided to move over
to outlook from outlook express. We copied the sub-folders in outlook
express into new folders in my computer, but trying to copy 4000 e-
mails into outlook gives error messages.

Every so often during this process the explorer process will
terminate, leaving us totally confused as to where we finished.

We are running XP Home Service pack 2.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Make sure that Outlook is closed. Open OE. Use File/Export to move your
messages to Outlook. Once it's done, open Outlook and voila, your
messages are there.

Do not multipost. Read your other post(s).

It would be helpful to know what the error messages are and what method
you're using to copy these methods into Outlook 2002.

That's certainly not the correct way to move messages from Outlook Express
to Outlook. What you should do is copy all the DBX files (including
Folders.dbx) from the old Outlook Express to a folder on the new PC and then
import them into Outlook Express (or Windows Mail, depending on which
Windows you have) and then from there export them to Outlook. That will
retain all the message properties you're going to use with what you're
doing.
