I am currently using Outlook Express which is nowadays outdated. Therefore, I want to migrate one of the latest and trending email application i. e. Microsoft Outlook. Due to its attractive interface and features, I want to move my entire Outlook Express data to Outlook. As I am a non-technical user, I don't know any method to convert DBX file to PST file. Please help me!

Hi Eddie, nnIt is nice that you are migrating to the upgraded email application. There is no direct method to move data from Outlook Express to Outlook. But you can use Windows Live Mail for data migration. You need to download the application and move the exported DBX file in WLM. Then only you can move to Outlook. Hope, you proceed with this method.

As I am a non-technical user. I don't know how to proceed with the process. Can you explain in detail so that I can step-by-step follow the method and perform the conversion process? nn

Yes, Sure. nnFollow below steps: n1. First of all, install Windows Live Mail (WLM) in your system. n2. Click on File >> Import Messages. n3. A Dialogue box of Import Messages, select Microsoft Outlook Express and then click on Next. n4. Now, Select All Folders >> Next. n5. All the emails from OE will import into Windows Live Mail. n6. Again, follow Step and click on Export email. Then. click on the email messages to export. n7. A program of Export Mail setup will appear. Select Microsoft Exchange from the menu and click on Next. n8. After the confirmation message, click OK. n9. Now, select All Folder and click on Finish button. All the emails are now exported in the selected location. nnUsing Export-Import option in WLM, you can convert DBX file to PST file easily.

My computer system is running out of memory space as it stores WLM as well as exported and imported copies of the data. Is there any direct method that can convert the DBX file to PST file without any data loss and takes less memory space?
