There is an import option for Outlook in Outlook Express. I have no idea what the requirements are for it to work.

After having successfully re-imported OE e-mail archives into my
re-install of OE, I now feel something of a roll.

On my current PC I have the e-mail archives from my previous PC (both
machines XP, the previous one last patched circa May-June 2005).

I would very much like to get my old Outlook e-mail folders imported
into my current OE application. I have previously looked into this at
quite some length, and the conclusion I often came to from the web,
was that you somehow had to have both Outlook and OE installed on
your PC, in order to import Outlook mail archives (the .pst files)
into OE (???).

As it happens a few years back I did have both apps on my PC and the
import failed. It might have been due to the hidden/system folder
issue I faced in the last day or two, I don't know.

Has anyone imported .pst files into OE, and is it a straight forward
import? Or is this thing about needing both the apps on your PC to
facilitate the import true?

Thx!
