hi, I'm trying to import from some dbx files to my OE but I guess I'm doing
something wrong...
When I go to import / files I have only acces to pst extention files. If I
change to all types then I can see my dbx files but if I try to import them I
have an error message.
Could someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Firstly, Outlook Express is NOT Outlook....

What are you actually trying to do? Are you trying to transfer mail from
Outlook EXPRESS (dbx files) or are you trying to transfer mail from one OE
to another?

Also Outlook (if that is what you are using) version and OS would be
helpful...

Hi, thanks for your help!!
I'm trying to import mail from one Outlook to another. I have all files in a
CDRom in dbx extension.
I'm using a Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with windows vista.

Yea, you're asking in the wrong newsgroup.
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general is the one you want. Also see
