Unable to import Outlook Express emails to Outlook

I followed the instructions from the help and cannot achieve the emails of
Outlook Express to Outlook.

I just installed Window Vista and using Outlook 2007 now. I wanna to import
all emails of Outlook Express to Outlook, but found it is unable to import
as there is no choice to select folder that I stored the old emails. Even
though I put all old emails into the same folder of Outlook email folder, I
still unable to do so.

Please suggest.

Re: Unable to import Outlook Express emails to Outlook

You'd first have to import the OE data into OL on your old machine, then you
could import the PST file into OL in Vista.

Otherwise, you can import the backed-up OE data into Windows Mail in Vista,
then export the Windows Mail data to OL.
