You export your msgs OE to OL (I assume OL is setup on your PC)
You can then within OL Import your account settings and addresses
Once OL is set up stop using OE, or delete the accounts, as if you open OE
it will receive your mail

OL2002 is out of support lifecycle, the OL2002 data file has a 2gb size
limitation though problems can occur above 1.6gb
OL2003 and above, using the new unicode format data file does not have this
size limitation
OL2007 is the latest version

In OL use the Archive option, you can create mutiple Archives, ag
Archive2005, Archive2006 etc and if you require have them all open within OL
NB if you use OL2002 and then update to 2003 or 2007 there are some further
hoops to go through

I have way too many emails in oe6. I need to transfer all my emails and
use
Microsoft Outlook 2002 as my email client. I don't know how to do this.
Every time it asks to compact messages, it puts copies of my emails in the
recycle bin. I am also missing all my sent messages from the year 2006.

Also should I update Microsoft Office 2002 to Outlook 2003?

Help.
