As I'm not sure whether this is an OE or an Outlook question, I'm posting to
both--I hope the method is correct for posting in two groups without being
considered an idiot. ;-)


I thought I had lost a bunch of old e-mail a reformat or two before getting
rid of my old computer but when I saw something about DBXpress on this forum
a day or two ago I decided to give it a try and, sure enough, it found all
the dbx files on my external hard drive on which I'd saved my entire old
data drive.

On my new system, I'm using Outlook 2007 beta and didn't plan on setting up
OE as I need to be able to sync easily with my pda so I was planning on
waiting for Windows Mail to make the switch BUT, I had hoped I could exports
those old messages from OE to Outlook so I'd have them for reference and the
export seemed to work just fine but when I tried to find them in Outlook,
they don't show up. I knew I'd lose the dates on them if I tried to import
them into Outlook but I wanted to see if they'd at least show up so I began
the import just to see what options would be there but I got the prompt that
Outlook found no other mail programs on my system.

I'm assuming this is because I only have OE set up as my newsreader, so, my
question is, does anyone from either OE or Outlook know if that's the only
problem or might it be something to do with the fact that I'm trying to
export from OE to the beta Outlook which didn't exist when OE's export
utility was written?

Thanks,
Tim
