Migrating to new computer

[Guest]

I recently migrated Outlook to a new PC and had all the problems of duplicate
folders etc. I finally got it all straightened out by reading many posts
here. Although I never did find the exact instructions for how I should have
done it. Now I'm ready to migrate Outlook Express and find even less
information on how to do it. I have searched the help files as well as this
community. Can anybody give me a tip as to where to find the "proper" way to
move Express to a new computer?
Thanks,
Bill

Do I infer that you use both Outlook and outlook express on the same
computer for email? If so may I ask why?

Hi Gordon,
Yes, two different email accounts. I use Outlook for business and Express
for personal mail. It's a lot neater that way. Now if I could just figure
out how to migrate Express without all the nightmare I had with Outlook.

You could always set up a second Outlook Profile........but here's how to do
it if you don't want to do that.

How to backup and Restore OE

BTW, 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!
