Hello all,

I am hoping there is away to import all my Outlook Express settings to Outlook 2003 SP2. I am using Outlook Express 6 with the XP service patch 2, and XP Home edition.

I subscribe to a newsgroup for my online classes, have several rules created and run 4 different accounts for POP3 email. I would like to have all this set up without having to re-create it one by one.

When I start to install Outlook 2003 it asks if I want to Configure an email account... I stopped there afraid I would lose all my settings from Express.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Best to ask this in an OL-specific newsgroup, SM:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...utlook.general (to which I'm
crossposting my reply)

Tip: Never post your real email address in a public newsgroup or forum.

From Outlook:

File | Import and Explorer
Select Import Internet Mail Account Settings
Select Microsoft Outlook Express
Select the Accounts you want to import then finish up the import.

For getting the mail (not newsgroups)
File | Import and Explorer
Select Import Internet Mail and Addresses
Select Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x 6.x
Check the boxes you will to import then finish up the import.


Outlook does not do news, it runs OE in a news only capacity.
