Exporting to OE 6
I need to export a portion of my Windows Mail folders from my vista desktop
to a different compter which is running Outlook Express 6. Elsewhere on this site I found how to move contacts over and that is done. The instructions for exporting the emails (and folders) that I found told here said: file/export/messages. I did that and came up with a folder that had inbox and sent folders, each with the appropriate subfolders. The instructions said to drop this into OE. How do I drop the folders into OE. I tried drag and drop into the email folder panel in OE and directly onto the inbox but got an error message saying this could not be done but offering to make a shortcut -- not what I wanted. I also tried moving the folders to the outlook express folder on C:\ to no avail. Any help will be appreciated.

Exporting to OE 6
Thank you ever so much, PA Bear. It is working beautifully. I have to
create the folders before transferring the emails but that is fine with me. Derby "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: Drag & drop individual EML files or a group of same into an open OE folder.

Isn't there an easier way ?
I've given up on Vista so want to come back to OE/XP. Thanks, Bubey "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ... YW Derby wrote: Thank you ever so much, PA Bear. It is working beautifully.
