If you export from OE to CSV format, WLM will import them with no problem. It's always worked for me.

Good luck.
I am trying to import my outlook express 6 dbx files into Windows live mail using windows 7. I open live mail and go to import under file and browse to find my files. When searching for *.dbx files using windows explorer the path i found was c:\users\Frank\AppData\Roaming\MSN6.old\UserData When I place that in the browse textbox and hit next a message tells me it can not find files needed for import. there are several dbx files in the UserData directory. I have also tried to find msimn.exe and it is no longer on my computer. Any assistance would be appreciated thank you.
