I am trying to copy my ol Inbox and Sent Items files (from Windows98 system) over to my new laptop that is running Windows XP Professional. However, under the "Identities" folder, I only see one folder and not the other folders (like Microsoft and Outlook Express) which I know are buried under it. I've change XP to reveal all 'hidden files' but still can not see/get to subfolder which where I need to copy my old message files into. Any suggestions on how I can get Explorer to show me these folders so I can copy other files into them from my old computer

Thanks, John
 
Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store folder will reveal the location of
your
Outlook Express files.

In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked
as
hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden
Files
and Folders under Start>Control Panel>Folder Options>View.

You can open Outlook Express..go to file..export your address book and
messages to a file and then import to your new computer.
