Problems Importing Outlook Express mail to Opera Mail

I am New user of Opera Mail for Windows 7 and Win 8.
When trying to import Outlook Express mails I don't get
up the "Choose" (or "Browse") button to indicate where to find the files
contrary to what my Opera Mail help program states.

Anybody who knows a solution?

Outlook Express isn't present on Win 7 and 8, so the registry settings and folders etc. for Outlook Express are not present. That's why the import from Outlook Express Wizard doesn't work.

Download http://shadow2531.com/opera/wiki/How to Manually Import POP Accounts from Outlook Express - Mail Client ( M2 ) - Opera Wiki.mhtml and load the mhtml file locally. That will show you what to do. For links in that archive that don't work, look in http://shadow2531.com/opera/wiki/ to see if the page is there.

If you load http://shadow2531.com/opera/wiki/ in Opera 12.16 and click the mhtml links, you can view all the mhtml files without having to save and open them.
