You have to copy your .dbx files across from one location to another.
Exporting messages wont work, that is only for exporting to Outlook or Exchange.
There are two ways of doing it....
1) Simply drag and drop the messages from inbox to inbox with both outlooks open obviously. Doing the same for other folders... 2) The other way is to copy the .dbx files (which hold messages and information) from the store location of OE5 to the store location (and over writing) in OE6. To get the store location, you can do a search for them, you should get inbox.dbx sent.dbx and outbox.dbx etc, or you can go to OE5 and go to Tools->Options and go to the Maintenance tab, and then click on store folder, go to that location that it gives you, should be like
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{E47EBD0F-54D7-11D4-A667-B4A565C94A3C}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
and copy to the location in OE6...you will as I mentioned have to overwrite the other .dbx files that are in there, but if you do, you will loose all other mails you had in Outlook Express 6
Try this and see how this works out.... Jay~
