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.

Read Article but have bit of a problem. I am using Visa, IE8 and not IE6 and my ISP's pop&smtp are being rejected by Outlook Express 2003 you mentioned are IE6 related. I get same error code that others had that led me to this area. Could I download newer version over present Outlook 2003 that would work with my IE8? The end of error code indicates SSL servers can't be found yet when I chek IE8 settings, SSL boxes are checked? Can you help me with this please?
