Exporting OE6 from ME

[gtar42]

I would like to save my address book and messages from my old Windows ME 2001
with OE6 computer to my new Vista Premium computer. Most of the advice I see
is about XP. Can this be done?

I don't know. You might try the instructions for XP to Vista and see if
they work:

Some methods for bringing the files over to to the new computer make them
readonly files. Windows Mail imports them better if you make them
read-write before importing them.

The instructions are the same for any OE5 to OE6, no matter what the Windows
version.
If you used Outlook Express on the old computer, see
