Outlook Banter - View Single Post - Upgrading from Outlook Express 6 SP1 to Outlook 2003 SP2

Thanks Milly.

The problem exporting from OE to Outlook is that exported emails lose the
email addresses associated with names in the TO and CC fields. In OE I can
double click on "John Adams" and get a WAB windows with . But
those exported in Outlook I double click on "John Adams" and nothing
happens. I can't reply to him.

First, it is not an upgrade. Outlook and Outlook Express have no relation
to each other except a shared name.

Exporting the emails from OE to Outlook works best as you have learned. As
for the contacts problem, someone else will need to tackle that. Have you
imported the Outlook Express Contacts from Outlook's File-Import menu?

| Hi,
|
| I am trying to upgrade my users from OE 6SP1 to Outlook 2003 SP2 and
| I get 2 problems:
|
| If I import from Outlook 2003 certain messages get a wrong received
| date.
|
| If I export from OE6SP1 I cannot reply to saved emails. The email
| address is gone, only the name remaining.
|
| Any safe way to upgrade?

| Thanks
