Importing folders from OE to Outlook

[witsend2004]

When I try to import folders from Outlook Express to Outlook, nothing
happens. Does anyone have a clue as to why it won't? Thanks

This is probably better asked in an Outlook group, but it would help to know
how it is you're trying to do this. You should be importing from a store
folder, meaning the folder containing all the DBX files, *including* the
folders.dbx file.

What version of OL are you running (e.g., OL 2003 SP3)?

Are you attempting to import OE data that you'd backed-up and saved on
another machine or are you attempting to import the data from OE on the
current machine?

Always use the Export function from within OE instead of the Import function
from within Outlook.
Outlook's import wizard has a high probability of resetting the received
date and resetting it to the import date.
