I am hoping to import emails from oulook express but I didn't use the export function before the hard drive was removed. Can I still access the hard disk from another OS and import the emails into outlook installed on this OS? If so what file am I looking for and how do I import it. Both versions of outlook are 6.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated

yes you can import from outlook express, to my knowledge OE does not allow a network import/export. so you have to copy the folder over to the computer in question goto

File > import > Messages > outlook express 6 > Import from an OE6 Store directory > browse to the folder you copied over, and either import all or selected.

The email folder is normally kept in
