Can I import Outlook Express email into another instance of Outlook Express?

Thanks 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 ;)

I 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???

I have tried using the instructions to copy my emails from xp outlook express 6 to vista and it keeps saying there are no files, I have checked they are not read only or hidden or archive?? any ideas Leo, your instructions were perfect upto the point of my vista outlook not being able to see them to copy them back into my new laptops email??
