Accessing existing InBox, etc from OE2000 after installing Office 2003 - How to

Hi,

This is a correction of my recent post incorrectly submitted under the
subject "Accessing existing InBox, etc from OE2999 after installing Office
2003 - How to"

I just installed Office 2003 and, using its Help menu, was able to recover
all my newsgroup servers and the specifc newsgroups I had subscribed to --
looks great.

In the process, I also got a bunch of local folders where I had saved stuff
from my InBox.

What I didn't get is my existing InBox. There is a new, essentially empty
InBox my Outlook Personal-Folders.

What can I do to get this new InBox populated with messages from the Office
2000 InBox? (I still see a couple of InBox folders on my file system under
my username and with 300+MBs each).

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi,

Here's another correction: I was running OE6, not OE 2000, before I
installed MS Office 2003. I am running Windows2000Pro with latest service
packs and security updates.

Regards,
Richar

Hi,

I put an OE icon on my Start menu. When I next started OE, I was informed
in a popup that OE wasn't my default email client and offered my the option
of electing it, which I did.

Then when I clicked on a newsgroup, I got another popup the OE wasn't my
default newsreader. Since things seem to be working fine, should I decline
this change or not. What are the pros and cons?

TIA,
Richard
