outlook express

[Guest]

how do I transfer saved E-mail messages from my old
computer to a new one in outlook express?

 

[Paras Wadehra]

goto "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\<{B2BD5074-AC45-459A-BEBB-E688FCC439FA}>\Microsoft\Outlook
Express" and copy all the files from there to a similar location on your new
computer

Remember to replace <user> with your username on the new and old computers
and also the big string (<{B2BD5074-AC45-459A-BEBB-E688FCC439FA}>) with
whatever string you find in the same location on your computers.
