How can I recover my .dbx files?
Hello I recently installed Vista+IE7 , I used Outlook Express 6 to manage my
Hotmail account. I'd like to keep using my Hotmail with a fat client. I know that Outlook can manage it but I don't know how to import my old OE6 folders (I tried the procedure described in Outlook Help with no success). I tried with Windows Live Mail but it tells me that I need a subscription to MSN (???) Pls help !!! Max |

If the import method into Outlook didn't work, then there is no way to
directly import from the OE message store. You could extract the messages from the dbx files and them import those, but that would require a 3rd party extraction tool (see www.oehelp.com). You could then drag those messages into Windows Mail and then import them into Outlook from Windows Mail. I don't know any other way to do it at this point. steve "MaxP" wrote in message ...

Thanks Steve.
The import method works: Outlook tries to import mails from OE and I get a '1 on 1 message imported' msg. Do you know where (folder) it looks to import OE messages? Obviously I don't have OE on my PC any longer, but I keep a copy of all .dbx files. thanks Max "Steve Cochran" wrote: If the import method into Outlook didn't work, then there is no way to directly import from the OE message store.

Hi Max,
I think Outlook is going to look where you point it for the messages. Is there not a Browse button? Also, every Windows computer has OE on it. You can't uninstall it above Win9x. steve "MaxP" wrote in message ... Thanks Steve. The import method works: Outlook tries to import mails from OE and I get a '1 on 1 message imported' msg.
