I recently replaced my harddrive with a new & much larger
one. At the same time I decide to upgrade from ME to XP.
I am having trouble figuring out how to transfer my old e-
mails from the other harddrive. Any suggestions?
 
Outlook Express - there are four separate items to backup and two Registry
Keys.

Locate the .dbx files that contains your email - find storage location by
choosing Tools, Options, Maintenance tab and check the Store Folder entry.

Copy and paste this address into your Start, Run dialog to open it, then
copy the files to a backup disk.

The Address Book - Select File, Export

Choose Text File (Comma Separated Values) as the export option, as this can
be easily be imported into Outlook Express and any standard database
software.
