How can I transfer emails from Outlook to Outlook Express

I copied a few personal emails from my Outlook system at work. I did it by copying them on a USB stick and I think I must have used the tool "export". Now I want to put on my Outlook Express system at home, but I'm now sure how I can do this. I thought that I could use the tool "Import" but when I go to that there is no installation, as far as I can see, to import from a file and when I tried to import e-mails from Outlook, he said that this action was not possible. Help please! Thanking you in advance.

Outlook must be on the same machine as the OE for import/export of work.
 
Assuming that you still have access to work email, create a windows desktop folder. Open an Outlook folder and drag the messages into the folder on the desktop. (They will always remain in Outlook).
 
Copy this folder on your computer, open it and drag the messages into a folder in OE.

  • I can't delete emails from outlook express

    I can't delete emails from outlook express.  I press the button Delete and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
     
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  • How can I change email in Outlook Express to appear in different accounts instead of one?

    Incoming emails from Outlook Express

    I have three accounts in Outlook Express, but when I open Outlook Express all incoming e-mails from all three accounts are found in a single account, one that I opened. How can I see save incoming emails in each different account?

    In OE, if you want to separate the accounts, go to file | Identities and then set up an account for each identity.  Then you'd have 3 identities and 3 accounts to match.

    If you set up 3 accounts under a single identity, then his will download messages from all 3 and then put them in the Inbox.  If you want to separate them according to the account, you can go to tools | Message rules and set up a rule to move messages between each account to different folders.

    If you have these two possibilities.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.
