Any FREAKIN' way to import DBX files into Outlook 2003Importing via Outlook | Import from another Program or File Importing via Outlook | Import Internet Mail and Addresses Exporting from Outlook Express Tried Many, many times... Can Microsucks make this any more complicated... It's a FREAKIN' DBX file collection NO - No other Application has it Open. YES - The Files ARE there YES - the Internet Account IS there Yes - I've wasted more of my time IMPORTING into Outlook Express in VISTA just to RE-EXPORT back to Outlook. What a bunch of freakin' idiots... Another 2 hours wasted - because one Microsoft application can't read it's OWN file format. Unfortunately - the *real* idiots are the sales managers that forced the programmers to push it out before it was ready - so they could increase Microsoft sales by .002%. Can't import dbx files directly into Outlook. But you can import from
Outlook Express which has those files open into Outlook: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010943871033.aspx (Why are you using MS products if they so clearly anger you so much?) OK, this just ain't working...
I've used XP for a while, but left my previous notebook at home because there was a new one waiting for me... I installed Office 2003 in it. Then on my portable HD I have every single .dbx file I had in my Express... folders, inbox, you name it... I have every message I sent or received since 2002... There wasn't ANY method proposed here that made it work... Not importing into Windows Mail or Outlook 2003... Copying all files to My Documents (where I am supposed to have all the privileges) just didn't work... I'm not a computer dumb, but as said by Thomas, I didn't know you had to had a PhD in Vista to be able to recall messages...

I browse to the folder that have all my dbx files (including folders.dbx) and
it reads "NO ITEMS MATCH YOUR SEARCH". But I'd rather import straight into Outlook 2003... I just thought that since WMail is the "new" OExpress it wouldn't even blink... Foolish me...

I know exactly where my .dbx's are... on my C: HD and non-marked as read-only... But I'd rather import straight into Outlook 2003 and that's not happening as well...

To import your DBX files into Windows Mail, see this: <http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/53e5df86-5ffb-43cf-a0c8-164e3fe7994f1033.mspx> -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] not working... I have all my .dbx in my HD and Windows Mail does not see
them... I have a PrtScr of it saved but apparently I cannot upload a .gif here...
