Trouble Importing 100% of e-mails from Outlook Express 6

Outlook41
I am trying to import about 400,000 e-mails from

Microsoft Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2002, but only

about 80% of the e-mails successfully are imported from

Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2002. The 400,000 e-mails

take up approximately 4 GB of space on a hard drive that

has about 20 GB free. The 400,000 e-mails are spread out

among about 300 e-mail folders in Outlook Express 6. I

tried the import operation about 3 times - twice with new

Outlook mail files, once with existing Outlook mail

files. I repaired the Outlook 2002 installation, I

reinstalled Outlook 2002, and I ran the Inbox Repair Tool

in an attempt to successfully import 100% of the e-mails

from Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2002. What gives?



Thanks,

Harvey

Re:Trouble Importing 100% of e-mails from Outlook Express 6

A pst-file can't exceed the 2GB in your case it probably does exceeds this

limit



Create two or more pst-files to import your mails into a pst-file

succesfully
