[Lost In Space/Woodchuck]

Sorry, but I couldn't find an outlook express group. I would like to move OE
express messages from one computer to another with OE express. Where do I
find the data files?

regards

The default file extension will be "dbx." In Outlook Express,
click Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder. This will tell you
where you have OE set to store its data files. (You'll have to look for
yourself, I'm afraid. I've not used OE for years, nor did I ever allow
it to save in any "default" location, although I believe it was
somewhere under "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local
Settings\Application Data." However, if you copy off your entire user
profile, you'll most likely get it.)

Hard to understand how you couldn't find an OE newsgroup. Just look in the
list of newsgroups on the MS server, news.microsoft.com. There are two.
Poprivet gave you one. Here is the other.
