Default Need help moving ,dbx Outlook express messages to Outlook 2007

I need help moving ,dbx Outlook Express messages to Outlook 2007.

I backed my old email Outlook Express .dbx files to a USB drive. How do I
import my mail messages and sent files into Outlook 2007? When I try to
use the Outlook 2007 Import wizard, chose other files and then chose
Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x and internet mail--- and then browse to
the folder they are in I get an error message that there are no internet
email messages.

Thanks

Robert


I haven't tried this since I don't have Outlook, but it should work.

Make a new folder on your desktop called OEMail.
Copy all of the DBX files into it (including Folders.dbx).
Make sure they are not Read Only by right clicking their Properties.
Use Outlook's Import function.
