I noticed that OE5.5 will not import mail into OE6, is there a way around this?

Well you aren't given the option, when one clicks on file>import and it doesn't have one for 5.5 only 5, and it doesn't seem to recognise 5.5 as 5....make sense?

OE5.5 and 6 have the same file structures for messages. You can simply import the messages as if they are from an older version of the program.

On a related note, is there any way to import address books from OE to Opera?

The easiest method is probably to export the address book from OE as a CSV file and then import into Opera.

I tried that, it didn't work, i am beginning to think that the file's were corrupt....not a problem, thanks Mr Flibble :)

I also tried just putting them in the directory but it seemed to need them imported.
