Outlook Express vs Outlook and viewing files (next question)

[Al]

If you are in Outlook and want to be able to transfer the files to another computer that has Outlook Express and read them in Outlook Express, what file extension do you transfer them under, since .msg does not work (does not recognize) if you are in Outlook Express

Thanks
Al

Datastore is *.dbx
Individual messages are *.eml

For more assistance ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft
Office Outlook forum.
Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Outlook must also be on the computer that you are transferring the
files to. To get around this, you could import the Outlook messages
into Outlook Express on the computer that the messages are on now,
then transfer them from Outlook Express on the first computer to
Outlook Express on the second computer.
