[mso] Re: Import Outlook Express file to outlook?

Linda

I'm about to migrate my home email from OE to Outlook.  But I'm concerned
that from past experience this will show the "received date" for emails as
being the date on which the import is carried out, rather than the date
the mail was received by me originally.  As I frequently sort folders by
date received rather than date sent, or some other option, this would
screw up my filing system bigtime!  Am I correct in this assumption or am
I missing something else as part of the import function?

His OE stuff is not in a pst file....OE doesn't use pst files.  In Outlook
go to File>Import and Export and you will see choices to import email
accounts and address books...if you choose those, you will see the OE is
an option.

And, yes, copying your pst is the best way to backup Outlook.

Subject: [mso] Import Outlook Express file to outlook?

I'm helping a colleague upgrade to MS Outlook from MS Outlook Express. Is
there a way he can transfer his directories of old emails and contacts
list from Outlook Express to Outlook? He is using Outlook 2002 and Outlook
Express 5. Does it involve copying the .PST File.

One more quick question. I'm curious to how others are backing up their
Outlook information. I usually copy the .PST file on to a CD. Is there a
better way? I'm using Outlook 2000.

Thank you for any help offered
