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.
