Hi,
I just set up my new computer (W-XP). Can anyone explain
to me how I can save all my email folders & messages from
my old machine (W-ME) & copy them to my new one? I use
Outlook Express 6 in both machines.
Thanks.
 
In Outlook Express 6, do Tools > Options and click the Maintenance tab.
Click the Store folder button, and you'll see what folder your e-mail files
are stored in.
Copy the contents of that folder to a writable CD, and move it from the
old computer to the new computer. That's it. This assumes you've accepted
the defaults on both computers. Otherwise, check on the new computer and see
where your Store Folder is, and copy the contents of the old folder there.
