Exporting emails in Outlook Express

HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP

One machine has Outlook Express 2002 and another machine has the latest
version of Outlook Express (I cannot remember the version). Both email
databases have a number of emails already in them. How do I simply get
the emails from the Outlook Express 2002 database to the latest version
without overwriting emails in the target.

These machines are not networked together.
Most of these emails have attachments.
Ideally I would like to preserve folders, but this is more of a nice to
have.

I tried in vain to transfer via a hotmail account.

There is no such thing as Outlook Express 2002.

You can manually import dbx files using the method in the last paragraph on
this page: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

As Steve said, there is no Outlook Express 2002. But there is an
Outlook 2002, which is a completely different program with different
message storage.

In each your mail program select Help, About and it will tell you the
name of the program and the version. From that we'll be better able to
advise you on copying messages.
