858355 2010-02-14 08:35:00 Hi,
I backed up all my OE .dbx files from my XP PC and have them on an external Hard Drive.
On my new PC (W7-64 bit) running Office 2007 I only have Outlook.
I can't import them directly into Outlook.
Is there a simple way to open/view/convert the files to something I can use?
Thanks.

858356 2010-02-14 08:43:00 The way to have done it would have been to install Outlook on the old machine and import direct from OE. into Outlook then save the pst file. Sweep (90)

858362 2010-02-14 09:05:00 easy did it the other day. Open the .dbx files in express then in Outlook go to import and select from outlook express. nedkelly (9059)
858363 2010-02-14 09:30:00 Thanks everyone. Looks like it would be easiest to install Outlook on the old PC, import the emails from OE and then burn a CD or back up the pst files to an external HD and then I could open or save them to Outlook on the new PC? Grimy (3041)
858364 2010-02-14 09:40:00 You would use Outlook to import the PST file on the new PC Sweep (90)
