How do I get my mail from OE6?
 

I just bought the Microsoft Office 2003 bundle. I want to get my mail from
my Windows 98 computer. It's all backed up and on a CD but I can't seem to
import it to the Outlook 2003.

Can someone send me instructions on how to do this.

Outlook can only import from OE. You must import into OE first.
Consult an OE group or website if you do not know how.
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in
one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlooke xpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlook express for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found he

Adding a little to Russ' post, here's how you get your messages back into
Outlook Express:

How do I import OE5 and OE6 mail folders?

From there, use OE's Export feature to move your messages into Outlook 2003
