    Exporting Outlook 2000 mail
    « on: March 29, 2009, 07:40:46 PM »
    I usually use Eudora, but recently installed outlook 2000 so I could give a friend some help.  I didn't realise the default installation downloads email without asking me, AND removes mail from the server.  I have worked out how to keep things on the server, but cannot work out how to import the email to Eudora.

    I have given Eudora the address of the .pst file, but the Import didn't work.  Maybe the .pst file is not at C:\Documents and settings\xxxx\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\

    Does Eudora show Outlook as one of the sources from which it can import messages?  If not, what type files will it import?

      In Eudora, Files>Import asks me to "select the account I would like to import", & lists as options Outlook Express (which is not installed), & Microsoft Outlook.  I states it will import mail, address book & personalities.  Choosing that imports no messages.

      If I choose Advanced the options are the above 2 plus Netscape Messenger (also not installed).  This screen also asks me to locate the .pst file, which I did, as shown in my original message.  This option also imported no messages, though there are a number of messages in Outlook.

        OK, forget this inquiry folks, I have now found where Eudora stored the messages after importing them.
        Apologies for this inquiry. ::)
