Milo: Where can I post this OE question

G

Guest

I'm having a problem with OE (6.00.2800) and don't know
where to post a question. I don't see an OE forum here.

A while back, someone showed me how to put all my OE identities
under MyDocuments so that I could easily back them up.

Sure enough, I eventually had a hard drive crash.
Now I've got these identities with all their .dbx files under them
for their different folders, but I have no idea how to set up OE to either
recognize or import them each.

Any help in an answer OR telling me where to best post this would be
appreciated!

Appreciate the help, but it didn't work.

When I try entering:

microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

it converts it to this:

http://sea.search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=www.microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

and then gives me the error message:

We can't find "www.microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general"

That's because it's a NEWS link and not a web link.......set up a news
server in Outlook Express and use the server
"msnews.microsoft.com" (without the quotes).
