    Is there ANYWAY that I transfer all the sub 'FOLDERS" I created in my Outlook Express Address Book to Outlook 2003? Under Main Identity's Contacts, I made subfolders of groups. It will take me forever to recreate manually in Outlook 03'. Is there any way I can just transfer as is to Outlook? I've tried a variety of things, so far no luck. Hoping someone knows a tip. Also curious if Outlook 2007 might do it, if I upgrade. THANKS!

    No way that I know.
    Add the folder to Outlook then use the Import function to get the mail from the old folder.

    It's not the mail I want to import. I did that. It's the 'folders' in the contacts/address book of outlook express. I made subfolders with catagories, to put say emails from friends in NY in one folder, NJ in another folder etc...

    All mail, contact and calendar info is stored in one PST file in Outlook. So you can't do drag and drop type of info.

    If you've tried the Import Internet Mail and Adresses from OE, then there's nothing you can do but do it manually.
