Can I import Outlook Express email into another instance of Outlook Express?
Sure.
•
I'll assume you're running OE 6. Hit File, Import, Messages, select Outlook Express 6 (or whatever version of Outlook Express you're importing from, and press Next. Now select Import mail from an OE6 store directory, and press OK. The next page of the import wizard will let you point to the directory containing the other OE's store. Once you've selected that, press Next and you can choose which folders to import.

I want to know if I can import to Outlook Express 6 from an email like yahoo and hotmail. I also just changed my ISP and can't get my email under my old ISP, I need to know if it is possible to import from my old address until all of my friends know the new address?
Posted by: Christi at May 25, 2008 11:23 AMIf some of you are trying to import your outlook express files from one computer into Microsoft Outlook on another computer as I have been trying to do... Simply copy the store folder as mentioned above to the new computer. Open outlook express to import that folder. THEN open outlook and import from outlook express. All should be right with the world after that.

Posted by: Darcy at January 26, 2009 11:03 AMThanks for the info, I am a Mac support person and am very busy helping Windows users who switch to Mac but still run Windows on their new Macs with either Parallels or VMWare. I have had to learn a great deal about various Windows issues to do this and your pages have been very useful. One comment on the Outlook Express mail box transfer ... I had to turn off the READ ONLY check box on the folder containing the mail boxes before the import worked. After that is was simple. I must say running Windows on the new Macs is easier and faster than any of the PCs I try. Thanks again for the clear, simple and good tips. Not too common lol ;)
Posted by: Michael Bradley at January 30, 2009 8:28 AMI follow your instructions to import messages into OE, but I get the following message each time: "No messages can be found in the folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have files open".
As far as I know the files are not being used. I have done this in the past with no problems... So this time I am stumped.
Any ideas???
