I have been using Outlook 2003 for about a week now. I am really not happy
with it in that it will not import messages correctly. I know you can
import from Outlook Express 6 one of 2 ways...

1) Open Outlook Express and export to Outlook.

2) Open Outlook and import from Outlook Express.

When doing #1, it preserves message dates, but it loses all the mail
headers. I like to know what e-mail program was used when a message was
received or sent. Also, if I want to reply to an old message, it cannot
pick up the e-mail address of the sender, but rather uses the sender's name.
I have to dig through the message in the hopes of finding the sender's
e-mail address and type it into the TO: field.

When doing #2, I 'think' it get the mail headers, but the message dates are
all messed up.

I wonder why Microsoft Outlook doesn't have other import wizards to get
messages from other programs such as Thunderbird, Netscape 6 & 7, The Bat!,
etc.

You would think you could simply open Outlook, import messages from Outlook
Express or another program and ALL INFORMATION is preserved. It's funny
that Outlook Express 6 can import from more programs than the new Outlook
can.
