I have been attempting to export my email messages from Windows Mail back out
to an older version of Outlook (2002)....I can't see where they get stored in
order to access them from the Outlook side and import them there. Can you
help me?

Thanx...Ashanti

Don't import with Outlook, export with Windows Mail; WM's export (like OE
before it) does a better job of maintaining date and time stamps.

re-open Outlook...is there another step there that I am missing?
