Import email

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me. I have changed laptop, on the
old one I was running outlook 6 and the new one Outlook XP
(which came with office xp pro).
I wish to copy the email folders (Inbox, sent, etc.) from
Outlook 6 to Oultlook XP. I also need to copy the address
book. If someone knows how to do it, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Simon

Let me add a little to Milly's response, use the following to move your
folders and addresses from OE6 on the old laptop to OE6 on the new laptop:

How do I import OE5 and OE6 mail folders?

Once you've done this, you can THEN use 'File|Import and Export' under
Outlook XP or 'FIle|Export' under OE6 to move from one program to the other.
