Have you tried Exporting Outlook 2000 Contacts to a csv formatted file then import that file to OE6?

First, technical questions usually get more and quicker response if they are posted in the Technical Q&A section.

Outlook Express uses .dbx files and the Windows address book.

You should be able to use the import wizard in OE to import your Outlook messages.

File / Import

As too your contacts, you need to export the contact list as an address book and then import it into OE.

You can import the files into OE by clicking on the File then selecting Import and Export and then following the wizard. If you saved the files as OE files you will have to chose Outlook Express/Outlook and then just point to where you have them saved, once you hone this these files will be importedthe proper folder and made available in either Outlook/Outlook Express along with any subfolders that you may have created. The same is done for the address book if you have already saved it but if you haven't you will have to export it to some folder and then re-import it so it will work properly.
