Importing my Outlook Express mail to new PC (with Outlook Express)

Robin

I am having trouble importing my Outlook Express emails
from my old PC to my new PC.
My old PC had Windows ME and my new PC has Windows XP
(home version)

I saved the Outlook Express emails on my old PC to a CD
but I am unable to import them from the CD onto my new PC.

PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

Robin,

As long as you copied the actual email files from the
stored folder, do this...

In OE, go to tools > options > maintenence.
Click on Store Folder to find out where OE keeps all of
your messages. Then just paste the messages from the CD
into the Store Folder. This worked for me.

Good luck!

Also once the files are transferred from the CD make sure the file
attributes are not set as read only.
