| | Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6 Not yet. But you can select all messages in a particular local folder and copy/paste them into a Folder you create with a similar name, i.e., Inbox, Sent Items, etc. Then either copy them to another partition or a USB memory stick or SD card and do the reverse in Outlook Express. It's a PITA but I suspect there will not be a revert to OE6 procedure set up in the future. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.

| | Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6 I'm busy with my new business. I haven't worked on either much yet. I meant OEX for going from Vista back to OE. That will work now. OEX has issues right now running in Vista, but the other way should work -- to import from the eml file directories. steve "Jim Pickering" <jimp@mvps.org> wrote in message news:4429F6E5-5025-446A-8E20-0BDC9D381F5F@microsoft.com... > Haven't tried that yet in Vista.

| | Re: Exporting back to Outlook Express V6 OK, thanks for the update. Knew it worked for XP but thought from your note, you had something going on with Vista. Hope the photos are selling well. They sure looked nice. Best. -- Jim "Steve Cochran" <scochran@oehelp.com> wrote in message news:BB7A747E-A00A-4AE6-87C6-05B0E58ED952@microsoft.com... > I'm busy with my new business.
