Problems importing old emails from Outlook Express

Keywords: outlook express, importing old emails, problems, errors


Unable to import old emails from and older version of Outlook Express, into a later or new version of Outlook Express. Outlook Express reports that emails are not being found, although pointing to the correct folder where they are stored.

OE5 expects that those files will be stored in a folder called Mail and it grinds to a halt when they're not.
Refer to the following website for help from Microsoft for this problem. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q217/2/64.asp

All you have to do, is rename the folder the files are stored in as Mail, and then repeat the import steps again.
