Select all the old messages and forward them to yourself
using the old mail program. Then retrieve with Outlook. With
any luck, you'll get one big message with a lot of little
message icons you can move to folders. (Try with one or two
messages first.)
Method #3: There is an
alternative method using a POP3 server (if you happen to
have one handy).

| WordPerfect Office Notebook (DOS) address
files |
|
Thanks to Ben M. Schorr for posting this
information in the Outlook newsgroups: These files are
WordPerfect Secondary Merge files. Follow this procedure:
- Create a primary merge file in WordPerfect that is
basically a list of all the fields.
- Add a comma after each field, except the last one.
- Add the word "END" after the last field.
- Merge to a new WordPerfect document.
- In the new document, add a page at the beginning
that has just the field names, each followed by a comma.
(This will create a first record with the field names.)
- Do a search and replace that replaces all [HRt] with
nothing. (In other words, remove all the hard page
breaks.)
- Do a search and replace that replaces "END" with a
[HRt].
- Do a Save As into a DOS ASCII Delimited File.
- Use IEW in Outlook to import, taking care to map
each of the fields in the source file to an Outlook
field.

| Outlook Express .wab file |
|
In Outlook Express, choose File | Import
| Address Book, and choose the .wab file. Then use IEW
and choose Import Internet Mail and Addresses. |
If you don't see your application above, try exporting from your
program to one of the database formats or to a comma- or
tab-separated file. Also, check our page at
Converting Addresses and Messages to Microsoft Exchange for
additional converters not specifically designed for Outlook but
compatible with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook.
One limitation is that the only way to import non-SMTP addresses
such as CompuServe or Microsoft Network is by first importing them
to the Personal Address Book, probably using
Import to PAB, then into
Outlook Contacts. Other methods -- such as importing from Schedule+
or a comma-delimited file -- offer no way to indicate the COMPUSERVE
or MSN e-mail address type. Everything is imported as an SMTP
address. A possible workaround might be to import the e-mail type
and e-mail address into separate User 1 and User 2 fields in
Outlook, then use a variation of the technique in the MSKB article
How to
Programmatically Resolve a Contact E-mail Address to merge that
information into the actual E-mail field.
