Default How do I convert my 4 OE6 mail accounts into 4 Outlook profile

Brian you are correct -- I mean "Identities". How does that can your answer?
(thanks in advance for your response.)

I am in the process of converting from Outlook Express (OE6) to
Outlook. I currently have 4 OE6 mail accounts. I want to create one
Outlook profile for each of my curent OE6 mail accounts. How do I
import the e-mail messages into the new Outlook Profiles -- 1 at a
time? The import feature in Outlook does not ask me which OE6
Account I want to import messages from. Thus, I concern that it may
messages from all 4 OE6 mail accounts -- that is not what I want.
I simply want 4 newly created Outlook profiles/mail accounts for each
of the current OE6 mail accounts.


I'm not sure why you want separate profiles for this and when you say "mail
accounts" in Outlook Express, do you really mean "Identities"? If you
really mean "accounts" and not identities and you really want separate
profiles, try this. Note that I didn't test it, but it's a reasonable thing
to try, IMHO. Create one Outlook mail profile and import the mail account
from Outlook Express. I believe the import will choose the default account.
Create the next Outlook profile and change the OE default mail account to
the second account. Import the account and it should import the second mail
account into the profile. Continue in this fashion for the remainder.
