First of all - thanks to all concerned for the help on my previous issue - especially 'Shadowking'
Next and last on the list is this.....
Why can't I import my OE5 messages into Outlook in WinXP Pro - it's not even in the list? Didn't Microsoft shove OE5 down our throats for long enough? Does this mean I have to do something stupid like import them onto a Win9x system and email them all to myself again? - God forbid!

Use the OE6 option. If you have a Win9x box, your emails will be stored in C:\windows\application data\identities\loooong string\outlook express (i think)

Use the import from OE6 store directory, and you should be fine.

I've already tried the Import option for every varation in the list - OE4/OE6 etc...without any joy whatsoever - a friend says he has the same problem?
