Import from Outlook Express?
I use MS-Outlook 2007, but it is now tied up indexing a humungously large
set of 19 PST files that I just attached to a new Archive mail profile. My estimate is that the indexing will take over two more days to be complete. But I will want to download new mail before then. If I use Outlook Express to download the mail, can I easily import it into MS-Outlook 2007's mail profile? If possible, I want downloaded mail concentrated in MS-Outlook and not divided among different email programs, if possible. |

Import from Outlook Express?
While your pst-files are being indexed, it is absolutely no problem to
continue using Outlook. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Thomas Bartlett" wrote in message ...

Import from Outlook Express?
Thank you. As advised to do by a posting in this forum, I have created a
new profile in Outlook dedicated to keeping archive files. This profile is setup without an email account, and is not meant to be used for new correspondence. So, to 'continue using Outlook' for new correspondence, I must close this profile and open the other profile which I regularly use for new correspondence. I suppose that when the archive profile is closed and the correspondence profile is opened, the indexing in the archive profile will cease. "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ...

Import from Outlook Express?
That's correct. I'd recommend to leave the indexing being done overnight
then as I assume you use your regular email more than your archives? The indexer will continue where it left off the next time you start Outlook with that mail profile. You could of course use Outlook Express or your web mail in between, but I think that's just complicating things even more. Anyway, if you go that route, make sure you use the Export function of OE to leave more of the header intact in the migration process. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Thomas Bartlett" wrote in message ...
