Migrating from OE6 to Outlook 2007

[19giugno]

Hi there,
I am trying to migrate my emails from Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2007; I
am following the instructions as per Microsoft web site, the account and
conctacts importations works fine, but when it comes to import the email
messages it stops after the first folder (my OE6 folder structure is a bit
complex, with lot of subfolders). The tree of the subfolders is replicated
correclty, but almost all the subfolders remain empty: only the emails from
the first folder are being copied. The message "process ended" (or something
like that, translated from italian) appears saying that 49 emails have been
copied. My OE6 contains more than 10000 email messages...

Please help

Regards

It's better to export messages from Outlook Express to Outlook. It will
preserve the received dates and should copy the folder structure. If you have
multiple identities, you'll have to export the folders one identity at a time
and take steps in Outlook to keep the data separated, if that's what you want.

Hi Brian,
thanks for your answer.

I don't have multiple identities, only multiple accounts...

I will give it a try.

Thanks.
