Importing old Outlook Express6 messages into newly installed OS.

[James L. Sims]

I have upgraded to my computer and performed a clean install of the
OS. I saved the Outlook Express folder under Documents and
Settings\...Identities\...Microsoft\ . Can I import this folder into
the new Outlook Express? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Jim Sims

Wrong NG, but

Make a new folder on your desktop called, say MAIL.
Move all your .dbx files into the MAIL folder you wish to import,
including "Folders.dbx"
Open O.E.
Click on the File menu
Choose Import
Choose and click on Messages
Choose import from Outlook Express 6
Choose import from a Store location and browse to
Point to and open the MAIL folder on the desktop
Choose to import all of the files to standard location
The rest should work fine.

After completing, you can make a backup of the files or delete them,
and the MAIL folder

It doesn't get as much traffic as this one, but it is the correct group.
