    I transferred emails from my Outlook Express to My Documents folders.
    After transfer, the MD folders do not appear as the email did in Outlook Express, namely, in the form of "Name, Subject, Received" format. Is there anyway to convert that same format to appear the same in the MD folders?

    I've moved your thread to a more appropriate forum. :)

    If you're trying to figure out how to read OE emails without using OE, as far as I know you can't. You can back up the OE files to any location you like, but I'm pretty sure that you have to import them back into OE to open 'em up and read 'em. I did a quick search and it appears that there is a paid program that will convert OE files to .doc or .txt files so you can open 'em in Word or WordPad. You can check it out here. I haven't used it, but it looks like it'll do what it says. The free demo will process up to 10 messages at a time, so it may be good enough. The full version is only $19.95
    If I'm off base with what you're trying to do, please clarify exactly what it is you want to accomplish and we'll try again ;)
