outlook express 2000 to Vista home premium email

I have my outlook express on my old hard drive as an external to my new HP
laptop.
I think I've copied the outlook folder on to my desktop but I'm sure. If I
have how do I import the outlook express into vista mail? do I need special
software?

Have you tried:

Menu (ALT if not visible) > File > Import > Messages > Microsoft Outlook
Express 6 > Import mail from an OE6 directory > Browse

Re: outlook express 2000 to Vista home premium email

Thanks for answering my post so quickly. When I open the outlook folder I do
not see OE6 directory. There are lots of files in the folder. so you know
all I did was copy the outlook folder fro my old HD to the desktop of my new
computer.
Am I missing a step? Perhaps I don't understand the term OE6 directory?

Re: outlook express 2000 to Vista home premium email

Please excuse my ignorance!
When I opened the folder I don't see .dbx
this is everything in the folder:

csapi3t1.dll
MSIMN.exe
MSOE.DLL
msoe.txt
OEIMPORT.DLL
OEMIG50.exe
OEMIGLIB.DLL
setup50.exe
WAB.EXE
WABFIND.DLL
WABIMP.DLL
WABMIG.EXE

That's everything in the folder.
Is it different for windows 2000?

Robert
Ps. I really appreciate your help

Re: outlook express 2000 to Vista home premium email

Do a search for *.dbx. If you do not find anything, then you only copied the
Outlook Express program folder. You need the Outlook Express message store
folder.

Re: outlook express 2000 to Vista home premium email

Hello again,
Not to burden you with my problem but I still haven't been able to get those
outlook files over to Vista. I have followed your instructions and just can
see the files when I try and load it. You said try menu ALT ( I don't under
stand where the menu is located).

Again I sincerely appreciate your help>
