I just "upgraded" from Outlook Express to Outlook. I had two
identities in OE, one for home and one for work, each with two
accounts. Outlook found and imported the Inbox and Sent folders
forone identity, but not the other. As Outlook does not seem to
manage dual identities, I am not sure how it would do this anyway.
But the identity that it did NOT import (work) is the one that I
wanted to use with Outlook, leaving the other identity (home) on
Outlook Express.

Question 1) Can I do this, actually run the two programs without
conflict?

Outlook will import the information for the default identity only. Now, the
Outlook equivalent of identities is mail profiles and you can create a
second mail profile for your work data, switch Outlook Express to make the
work identity your default identity, then import the data from that identity
into the work mail profile. Note that you should export messages using
Outlook Express to Outlook, but import addresses and rules from Outlook
Express using Outlook.

Question 2) How do I bring the orphaned .dbx folders into Outlook
manually? I went to File/Import, but .dbx folders are not among those
listed for action.

You can't import DBX files into Outlook. Period.
