Hey,
heres my setup - I had an old install of windows XP on my 80 gig and used
outlook express 6 for years, so i, of course, had a lot of saved emails and
such. I now use a new computer with a new install of windows XP and I need
to move those folders to the new install. I still have the old 80 gig hard
drive, so i assume all my folders are still there...somewhere. Does anyone
know if there is just a folder that outlook saves everything to that i can
just copy over to my new hard drive? Or is that not how it works. If i
could boot back into my old install then i could just do an export folders
thing BUT, since windows xp is stupid, i cant do that because it wants me to
reactivate windows since i have new hardware in the computer ( and for some
stuuuupid reason it wont connect to reactivate. I've tried both dial up
internet and cable internet, and both say cannot connect to the activation
server, try again later...ive tried...a lot. sometimes i just hate
microsoft) Anyways, thanks again for your help =)

Aaron
