I am trying to help a friend who recently lost a computer due to motherboard
crash. I have gotten all data restored to new computer but have run into a problem with emails. He originally used Earthlink for his mail. I have successfully converted all of his Earthlink files in to Outlook. He wants to use OE as his mail program. When I use the Import from Outlook in the OE Import/Export Wizard, it completes and says it successfully imported the 440 messages. When I click Finish, there are no messages. I checked the .pst file for Read Only attribute but it wasn't set. After scanning this group, that seemed to be the only problem identified so far. Are there any other suggestions as to what the problem maybe. Thanks in Advance Tony Collums |

Is Outlook also installed on this computer, and is the PST file in
question the default one being used by Outlook at that moment. If Outlook is not installed, the PST file cannot be opened by any other program such as Outlook Express. Short answer, if Outlook is not also installed on the problem computer, a PST file is just a useless piece of junk. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.

Yes, Outlook is installed and the translated file is fully functional in
Outlook. The actual translation from Earthlink was done by a third party converter called ABC Amber Outlook Converter. As I said the file is fully functional in Outlook but when I try to import into OE, the wizard finds the file, completes the import without error but when finished, there are no messages in OE. I checked the .pst file for read only but the attribute is not set. Tony Collums |

If it works in Outlook then it should be exportable/importable. I'm not
familiar with the "Earthlink translation" tool you mention so I can't comment there. I'd suggest having Outlook Open the PST file in question and leave it running in the background, then also open Outlook Express and attempt the import then. It should work if the PST file in question is set in Outlook to be the "default" PST file. For more info about using Outlook, you might consider posting to one of the following Outlook newsgroups: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlook news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ok.Calendaring news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....configuration news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlook.Contacts news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ic.outlook.Fax news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...utlook.General news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...k.installation news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...utlook.interop news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlook.printing news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...Program_AddIns news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....program_forms news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ok.Program_VBA news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ThirdPartyUtil -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.
