| Greetings,
|
| I've imported Outlook Express mail files from a computer
| running Windows 98 to a computer running Windows XP. All
| but about six files of mail (i.e. Inbox) transferred
| cleanly. I've tried to import the remaining six but no
| luck -- although, they are present in the local settings
| folder:
|
| C:\Documents and Settings\NAME NAME\Local
| Settings\Application Data\Identities\{24A2A812-D580-4508-
| AF7F-FEC35AB0DF9E}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
|
| I've tried to import those files from another location -- 
| a desktop folder -- and the import function on outlook
| says it recognizes no mail files within that folder.
|
| Any way to overcome this?
|
| Thanks.
|
