How do I transfer messages and files from a W98 Outlook Express 5 computer
to a WinXP Outlook Express 6 machine? The Win XP transfer wizard moves only
some files and messages, but not all that I have on the W98 OE 5 machine.
Thanks.

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.

The setup information for each of your email and news accounts must also be
exported; you do this through the Tools, Accounts dialog - select the
account and click Export to save the data in an .iaf file format.
