I purchased a new computer with windows XP. I installed my old hard drive as
a slave. My old hard drive used windows ME. How do I transfer my old Outlook
Express mail box contents to the new system?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook

97/98/2000/2002/2003 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://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to

your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that

version number. Good luck!

There is a folder which holds all your OEX mail. Where exactly it is in
Windows ME I am not sure. But you will be looking for a folder containing
dbx files usually under a folder called Outlook Express and that will be
under Identities if you used them. Not under Program Files look elsewhere.
Then in your new installation you use Outlook Express to import your old
eMail using the wizard point to that folder it will find all it needs to
complete.
