Importing OE files to Outlook 2000

I just got a new laptop with Win 7 ultimate and successfully installed my
aging Office 2000 (I know, I know, but it's all I really need for what I do
in my retirement <g>). Can I import my OE 6 message and address files into
Outlook 2000 in my new laptop and use Outlook as my mail reader?

Thanks for any info or suggestions.

Happy holidays.

Use your old machine and use OE to export to Outlook. Then copy the .pst
file to a pen drive and paste it somewhere on the new machine. Open
Outlook and use File/Open to open the transferred .pst file. Move
everything to where you want it and then close the old .pst file.

In addition to all the other replies there WILL be some issues running
Outlook 2000 on Windows 7. You will probably run into a password
retention problem and you may also see a "WAB.DLL" error. Apparently
that can be got over by running Outlook 2000 in Corporate and Workgroup
mode rather than Internet mode.

Not to mention that MS will not give the OP any security updates.
