What the heck do you need OE for?
Sadly, to convert the date stamps of existing emails (.msg) converted to .eml to create a PST for future use. (client stuff)
It's sadly, easier than creating 20 user accounts to email 1 user account to create a PST to then export it...

Seriously... can't you import Outlook Express files into Thunderbird?
-
You can, but you can't create a PST file if I recall correct.
Which is what I need.... sadly...

Yes, but only if you have OE installed and running on the system.......

Yep. Can't tell you how unhappy I was when looking over the Thunderbird documentation for that.

Self-loathing at an all-time high. I decided every time I feel really negative I'm going to buy my fiance a rose. The more miserable I am the more romantic I am

Life is all about channeling your negative energy into something constructive I find

You could always channel your negative energy into cutting my lawn for me.

I loathed having to create 30+ email accounts to create a PST so I resurrected XP and exported emails to .eml and then imported them into OE, and then exported the whole thing to Outlook so I could create a PST with modernish date stamps

I live in NJ which has, and I'm spit-balling here, 80% of the countries land fills. Lawn care isn't a thing here. It's mad max in NJ. There's a reason my state is always the butt of every Futurama joke.

Because you're from the future?

Wishing I was in another job.
Me: Can you reboot the router and see if that brings your connection back?
Store: We don't have a router
Me: Yes you do as you connect to HO via a MPLS
Store: I can't see any boxes with lights, but can see Netgear Switch with 4 cables.
Me: OK follow those cables one will go to the router
Store: they go under the desk somewhere
Me: yes but at the end will to devices, one will be a router
Store: Can't find it we have no box
..........................................................No I'm not driving 2hrs to the store to find it and reboot it!!!!!
Bad mood now!
Biggest issue with this is - they have rebooted the router in the past! the MPLS has been there for 3 years and all stores have rebooted at least 4/5 times! -

It is important that you show the untamed User who is boss.
