XP Pro without those updates could do odd things. The only workaround I've had luck with if the OS is updated and fails is to install Thunderbird and import it to that.

I recently wiped my hard drive and reinstalled everything but today I discovered that one of the my folders in Outlook Express 6 didn't import with the others and I can't figure out why. It was the largest folder but it was only about 26 kb. It's been awhile since I've reinstalled everything, but I know it went fine the last time I did it. My operating system is Win XP Pro. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. I've looked at several sites but none deal with my exact issue. Thanks
