Exporting emails

[Guest]

Hi

I have just bought a new laptop and I currentluy have Outlook Express on my
exisiting pc. I have loads of emails saved on the old Outlook Express
software that I wish to keep and transfer over to the new laptop. Does anyone
know how I can save all the emails into a file or something similar that I
can then save onto the new laptop. I don't necessarily need to have them in
my new email software, it would be sufficient just to be able to refer to the
emails for info.

I hope you can help.

Thanks,

Outlook express uses the file format of dbx and the only program that will
read that natively is OE! (You can buy a program to read it....)
Secondly, look here for how to backup and restore OE:

And finally, This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

The 'Files and Settings Transfer Wizard' will help you with that, unless
you move to Vista, where you'd use 'Windows Easy Transfer'.
