Yes there is a list for OE. It's here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's not very active though. > > Hunter > > Outlook Express 5.0.6 Cannot Import 5.0.2 Data? There is no need to import data when going from 5.0.2 to 5.0.6. The databases are the same. In fact, importing 5.0.2 data just won't work. If the "Microsoft User Data" (MUD for short) folder is in the correct place then OE 5.0.6 will just pick it up with out a peep and you are on your way. In OS 9 the "MUD" folder should normally be in the "Documents" folder of the main partition. > > While suggesting a user upgrade from OE 5.0.2 to 5.0.6 (this version is > required to authenticate on SMTP send) we have had data issues. > > When starting 5.0.6 and choosing to import existing OE data, the process > fails part way through, citing generic errors. If, at start up, OE is automatically prompting you to import existing data then the MUD folder isn't in the correct place. If your email and settings aren't there when you start up OE, then your MUD folder isn't in the correct place. > > We ended up with a 64MB messages file and other support files from the > identities folder though OE 5.0.6 only shows a few messages.

I didn't read the previous post from you but it seems like you need to get a handle on where your OE 5.0.2 data files (MUD folder) are. If you are going from OE to Entourage then you DO need to import. > > Any suggestions on getting anything more out of the OE 5.0.2 database files > that we have? That's all I can think of right now.
