There are no such programs as "Outlook 4", "Outlook 5", or "Outlook 6".
You're speaking of Outlook Express and you should ask Outlook Express
questions in an Outlook Express newsgroup. This group is for Outlook, a
part of the Microsoft Office suite. That said, consult
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/ and take note that Outlook Express V5 and V6
use the same format message store, so if you've properly copied all the
message store files, you should be able to use
Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store Folder to point to the location of your
moved message store files.

Hi -
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

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.
