I currently use Outlook Express for personal use and Outlook for my calendar.
I am now working from home and want to move email messages and folders from
Outlook Express into Outlook for business only. I have 3 email addresses
currently in Outlook Express, however, I only want to import the messages
from ONE of those accounts. How can I filter which messages import into
Outlook using the import feature? I tried going through the process but it
didn't give me an option of choosing just one account to import. I do not
want to move my personal emails into Outlook and intend to use Outlook for
business and my business email address and Outlook Express for personal/junk
mail. I know I will have to choose which one is default but that won't affect
being able to send mail from either, will it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Move all the messages you wish to transfer from Outlook Express to Outlook
into one Outlook Express folder.  Click File>Export>Messsages.  Choose the
folder you just populated.  Click OK.

As I said, export from Outlook Express.
