Thanks JMH.... Yep, you guessed it. At the moment I am running outlook 2003. I will upgrade to office 2010 and see if that works. Alternatively can one export outlook express draft folders to windows live mail?????

I am a little confused - are you running Outlook 2003 or Outlook Express - this might explain the difference:
