When ever I try to import email messages in MS Outlook from Outlook Express
6.0 it doesn't import all the messages. I've tried for many times. I've also
tried to export email messages from Outlook Express 6.0 to MS Outlook but
same issue arises. It does not export all email messages from Outlook Express
to MS Outlook. Could anyone guide me the reasons and how could I resolve this
issue. I"ve to do this, because I'm moving my organization from Outlook
Express to MS Outlook...

Don't do that. Do it the other way - export FROM Outlook Express to Outlook.
The reason? If you import in Outlook then the modified date of all messages
are set to the date of import - if you export from OE the dates are kept as
they were in OE.

File-Folders-Compact All Folders.....

Hi Gordon,
I compacted All Folders in Outlook Express and then again tried to Export
the messages but still no cure. It still doesn't Export all messages in MS
Outlook. Eg: If SENT ITEMS contain 1,000 Emails/Messages in Outlook Express,
so it only Exports 180 Messages in MS Outlook. Some other folders have also
the same issue. Kindly advice further...
