Importing items into Outlook Express

You can easily import items from other programs into Outlook Express. These items include:

• Address books, from both Microsoft products and other products, such as Netscape Communicator and Eudora. You can also import address book data that uses the CSV (comma separated values) format.

• Messages from other e-mail programs, including Netscape and Eudora. You can also import messages from many Microsoft products, such as Outlook or older versions of Outlook Express.

• Mail account settings from an existing e-mail account. When you import your mail account settings, your Outlook Express account will have many, if not all, of the customizations and information details from your previous account.

• New account settings from an existing e-mail account. When you import your news account settings into Outlook Express, your subscription records and other data, such as which messages you've seen, is placed into your Outlook Express news account. You can immediately pick up reading your newsgroups.
