I want to import some old mail files from Outlook Express (.dbx format) into Outlook 2003, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do that. When I click on a file, I get the "open with…" dialogue, and if I choose Outlook there, I get the "can't open this type of file" message. AM I supposed to use some other program for importing? Where can I download such a utility? Thanks.

Outlook handles importing on its own, but not the way you're doing it. What you need to do is this: Start Outlook. Open "File" menu. Choose "Import/Export". Now choose "Import mail and addresses". Now choose the version of OE you had installed. Finally, select the folder where your files are stored. If Outlook still can't access them, make sure OE isn't running and no other application is using the files at the moment.
