.dbx to .pst
in [Outlook]
|
From: sf903 on 1 Apr 2010 17:53 I upgraded my system and now have Outlook 2007. Before upgrading (I actually did a clean install), I saved all my old emails from Outlook Express (inbox, sent, etc) as .dbx files by exporting them and saving into a folder. I now want to import those into Outlook 2007 and can't figure it out. If I had Outlook Express still installed, then it wouldn't be an issue (just use the import/export function and go through the steps). After lots of online research, I can't seem to figure this out and really need some help. One place said it would work to put those .dbx files on your desktop, use Outlook's import feature, select from another file/program, select Outlook Express, then when it wouldn't find any OE accounts, continue and say yes to import emails from OE. That didn't work. Plus, I can't even find Outlook Express to install. If I could at least do that, then I could import my files into the actual program, export to outlook, and delete the old OE. I found a dbx to pst converter but it costs $50 and I'm sure there is some other solution. Someone please help. Thank you so much!!!. Submitted using http://www.outlookforums.com

From: sf903 on 1 Apr 2010 20:21 Hi - thank you for your response and the information. Unfortunately, when I saved my Outlook Express info I didn't use the method described in your link. I only have the .dbx files - there's one for each email category (inbox, folders, sent, deleted items, and so on) each ending with .dbx. So what can I do with that? I would appreciate anyone who can help me. THANKS! outlookmvp wrote on Thu, 01 April 2010 18:11 > Did oyu save the entire folder where the dbx files were?

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 2 Apr 2010 10:30 According to your list, you have folders.dbx... so the method I suggested will work. Point the mail program (Mail or Live Mail) to the location where all the dbx files are located. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "sf903" <seantib78[at]hotmail[dot]com> wrote in message news:uUr82pf0KHA.3652(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi - thank you for your response and the information.
