Is there any way to transfer e-mail messages in Outlook
Express that are on my old computer with Windows 98 to my
new computer with Windows XP Pro.
 
You need to copy the outlook express folder to a cd or the
new computers hard drive. Just need to be able to see it
from the new PC.
You didn't say what versions you are using (is it a
secret?)
I'll assume they are 5 or 6
From OE on the new machine, do FILE -> IMPORT ->
MESSAGES -> OE6 -> MAIN IDENTITY (click it in the window)
click OK -> BROWSE
Now find where you copied the old OE folder to and point
to it.
When you click OK or Open for that folder you will get a
list of folders, INBOX, OUTBOX etc Select the ones you
want or select import all folders. and go.

If there is an error, select each folder one at a time and
do it again. (getting carpal)
