My girlfriend and I have been using MS Outlook Express for many years.
Recently, we upgraded to Office XP Pro, to get powerpoint, access etc. I've had MS Outlook Express setup with 2 different "identities", one with her email account, her address book, and her folders. The other with my email accounts, my address book, and my folders. Both totally separate, no sharing contacts or anything. I setup two different "user profiles" in Outlook 2002. I import all her addresses, email acount, and folders. Everything is fine, at least with her profile. I try to import my addresses, email accounts and folders into my profile, and it pulls her information into my profile and not my own from my MS Outlook express "identity". Is there anything I can do about this, so I can import my own "identity" and not hers? -- Shawn Boals Somewhere, PA |

I believe Outlook will import only from OE's main identity. Since you have the other data already in, swap identities in OE so that your data is now in the main identity. Also, when transferring messages, export them from OE instead of import them from Outlook. The former will preserve the message dates. The latter will change them to match the date of import. -- Brian Tillman |

Thank you very much, Brian. That seemed to do the trick.
