Upgrade from Outlook Express 5.5 to MS Outlook 2003

[Mary Ann mgg98]

I've been using Outlook Express 5.5 on Windows ME for ~ 5 years now and have
just ordered a new computer with the latest version of Outlook. I have a
number of folders where I have saved messages in Outlook Express 5.5 that I
would like to import into the MS Outlook 2003 that is on my new computer.
Will these messages from the older version of Outlook Express 5.5 import into
MS Outlook 2003 (I no longer want to use the Express version but plan on
using the full blown version, MS Outlook). Thanks and much obliged.

You will need to copy the relevant files to the new computer and open them
in Outlook Express, then export from there to Outlook.
