Hi,

My computer runs Windows 7, and I would like to import messages from Outlook
Express(My old computer that ran WinXP). I have the .dbx files archived to
an external drive, and copied and pasted them to a folder on the windows
desktop. When I run the import function in Outlook 2007, I can't get it to
point to the folder where the messages are stored. I have a feeling this is
not going to work with Windows 7, but if it can, please let me know what I'm
doing wrong. If not, is there a way around this to get the messages into
Outlook?

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll need to install Windows Live Mail as an intermediary.
Download and install, import your OE mail to that, then EXPORT from WLM to
Outlook.

No need to ask more than once.
