Moving Outlook messages from one computer to another to another computer to import into Outlook Express is weirdly convoluted. Because of the way that the import works (it looks for Outlook profiles for importing PST’s), you have to go through shenanigans to move the files into the right place. I ended up just getting annoyed the crap out, converting the .DBX files on the source computing and moving it into the proper ID in the target computer.
(This requires another 10 more steps because by default, XP’s search not only won’t search for hidden/system files, but won’t even let you get to them until you drill down through annoying dog avatar menus to select the ‘advanced’ mode. Also, using real command lines all day, you forget how absolutely gimpy CMD.EXE is)
Anyway, one of the many reasons that personally, I use IMAP and not have to worry about any of this mail transfer business. Also, illustrative of why I hate XP. I’d reinstall W2K, but my hardware requires the ‘upgrade’.
