The instructions for importing Outlook Express files from another

don't believe there is a way to do that on a Windows 2007 machine. So
How do I accomplish this?


First of all, please note that this is an Outlook newsgroup, not an
outlook express one. Outlook and outlook express are two very
different programs. You should ask outlook express questions in an
outlook express newsgroup since that's where the outlook express
experts hang out and where you are most likely to get the help you
need.

Secondly, you are right that outlook express can not be run on a
Windows 7 machine. However, depending on what e-mail client and
newsreader you run on the Windows 7 machine, they can very likely
import and use the outlook express files.



My question IS an Outlook (2007) question. I am setting up Outlook 2007
on a Windows 2007 machine and I need to import from Outlook Express on an
XP machine. Why is this not an appropriate question for this group?


Download Windows Live Mail on the XP machine. Import OE mail.
Download Windows Live mail on the Win 7 machine. Transfer the WLM to it.
Then export in WLM to Outlook. (It says Exchange but don't be misled!)
