Re: Importing OE6 into Office 2003 Outlook taking FOREVER

Ideally you should export from OE to OL.
Not knowing much about OE I'd have thought your inbox.dbx was overly large
for correct operation of OE

With me readily assuming all the risk here, how much harm could I do
to kill OL, kill msimn.exe if need be, and try to export from OE
rather than import?

(Yes, the file sizes have been a little problematic.)

I'm trying to import messages from OE6 into Office 2003 Outlook,
after up upgrade to both IE7 (from IE6) and Office 2003 (from Office
2000, without Outlook installed).

The .dbx files are very large (e.g., inbox.dbx, nearly 1GB) and there
are a lot of them.

Outlook has been hour-glassed for almost 9 hours. msimn.exe has been
as high as 28MB, although it's around 13MB now.

How can I tell if things are going well?
