import files from Outlook Express to Office Outlook 2007
I am trying to save all my files/saved e-mails from Outlook Express to a new
computer with Office Outlook 2007. Following the instructions in "Outlook Help", I get to step #8 which reads "on the tools menu, click Options". #9 then reads "Click Maintenance tab". My Outlook Options menu has NO Maintenance tab. How do I import those old files from my old computer? -- Rick

import files from Outlook Express to Office Outlook 2007
Are you moving to a Vista computer or another XP machine? You will need to
move your OE data from the old computer into either OE or Windows Mail on the new machine. When you have this accomplished, you can then transfer everything into Outlook 2007.

OK, instructions for moving data from OE on XP to Windows Mail on Vista are
he http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx Windows Mail When you've finished that, use 'File|Export|Messages' from within Windows Mail to transfer your email, then use 'File|Import and Export|Import Internet Mail and Addresses' from within Outlook 2007 to transfer your contacts.

import files from Outlook Express to Office Outlook 2007
I must be missing something here. I am trying to move messages from an old
computer with outlook express and windows xp, to a new machine with office outlook 2007 and windows vista. I have been able to migrate the address book, but am not able to move the messages. I can get them from the old computer with OE, but not into the new computer with outlook 2007. One of the suggestions is to open them to OE in the new computer then move them, but I do not have OE on the new computer...and if I did I wouldn't have paid the money to buy the outlook 2007 program. I have copied the dbx files into the new computer where I can access them...now how do I get them to Office Outlook 2007 so I can read them? -- Rick "Hal Hostetler [MVP-P/I]" wrote: OK, instructions for moving data from OE on XP to Windows Mail on Vista are he http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx Windows Mail When you've finished that, use 'File|Export|Messages' from within Windows Mail to transfer your email, then use 'File|Import and Export|Import Internet Mail and Addresses' from within Outlook 2007 to transfer your contacts.

import files from Outlook Express to Office Outlook 2007
All of this information was helpful to me too, except that when I try to
import the .dbx files into Windows Mail, I receive a message that "no items match your search". When I look at the folder in Explorer, it contains a number of .dbx files. However, when when I open the folder to do the import, none of those files is showning. The folder is on a backup drive. Thank you for any help you cna provide me!
