Hello,

I'm migrating from Windows 98 on an old computer to
Windows 2000 Server and can't seem to find out how to
transfer my email files from Outlook Express 5 to Outlook
Express 6.

To complicate things, I thought I could fool OE 6 on my
Windows 2000 computer by changing the location of the
email files to a subdiretory on My Documents. Bad idea for
reasons that are far to involved to explain here. Suffice
to say, I tried to move the OE 5 files into that
directory, but they were not recognized by OE 6.

Any ideas, my OE 5/ Windows 98 hard drive is about to die.

thanks,

jim
 
Hi, Jim - you will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post
this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
