Office 07 Win 7(gold) import mail accounts from XP OExpress.

Supposedly, this can be done, however Outlook 07 cannot find the folder with
the .iaf files exported by outlook express.
Currently the files are in a folder on the win 7 desktop.
Following the instructions within Outlook 7 help eventually result in a
cannot find error message.
The Outlook 7 help is less than clear or complete in this particular area.
The .iaf files may not be compatable, or they need to be placed in a
specific directory/folder. (What directory/folder?)
If all else fails, I can reconstruct manually in Outlook 7, but due to a
multiple provider setup (split between cox.net & live.com),
(Due to cox blocking port 25 to any smtp server other than it's own), is a
pain to manually setup, and has not a few subtle options down in the tab
trees.

Oh well, had to do it the hard way.
(Trial & error, since some of the fill in boxes are not specific as to which
server they pertain to.)
It turns out that Cox users with SMTP/Pop3 service must use Cox's SMTP
server to send, since other send servers are blocked.
(Unless they use a non standard port, that is) Cox permits port 25 to a Cox
smtp server only.
