None of this has worked. I did not re-install xp though. I do not feel
comfortable doing this. Mail works with outlook, so I will start using
this.

Question, can outlook read the outlook dbx files that already have been
downloaded?


If Outlook is installed then OE can export to Outlook (File | Export).
I don't know whether Outlook can import from OE.
