Exporting mailboxes in outlook expres

[sapiens]

I'm trying to import all of my messages from Outlook express into eudora. Eudora asks for .nch and .dbx files from outlook express, but I can't fiind them anywhere on my computer. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

they normally are .dbx files, but I believe the new version of outlook (or certain ones) have changed it.

Depends on the OS but in windows 2000 pro they can be found in:

C:\Documents and Settings\"USER NAME"\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{90A17447-J4B8-4664-B762-8698G91E0544}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

where "USER NAME" is the user you are logged in as

"{90A17447-J4B8-4664-B762-8698G91E0544}" part will be different on every computer if i remember correctly.

the "Local Settinggs" directory is hidden so you wont see it in mycomputer normally but go to Tools > Folder Options > View and select Show Hidden Files and Folders

They should be in a similar location in Windows XP.

Not sure about windows 95/98 but if you have one of these just search for files *.dbx

Thanks for the advice. I ended up exporting to Outlook and then importing into Eudora. When I posted, I didn't have a copy of Outlook. Once I got a copy, it was no problem.
