Hello,

I am trying to import Outlook mails into Outlook Express. So far I was
able to import the standard pst file, but I have an additonal archive
pst file which is not imported.
After choosing the import command in Outlook Express I am aksed to
choose the account from which I want to import. After that I can
choose the folders that I want to import, but only the folders from
the standard pst file are shown. There is no option to get to the
archive.pst file.

Will I have to exchange the names of the pst files, or are there any
other ways to import the archive file.

Best regards,

Christian

I believe the import only works for the default data file.
What options are avilable in outlook for Export?

You could try to export from Outlook to OE although its usually better to
import into OE, in which case you need to set the archive folder as the
default in outlook.

File, Data file management. Select the archive folder and set it as default.
If its not listed, you need to add it. I would recommend disabling
autosend/receive before doing this or setting outlook offline. You don't
want new mail going into this folder.
