Retrieving/opening Outlook express emails from old drive

[Guest]

Hi all, I recently needed to replace the hard drive in my notebook. The old
drive is still operational, so I can now using it as an external hard disc.
How can I open to read / and save or import all the email folders in Outlook
express from this older disc? I'd like to save all those messages to a
backup/archive.
Thanks, Shayne.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

Thanks Milly, shall do. By the way, is it possible to import the previous
emails in Outlook Express (from the external drive) into a full version of
Outlook on my new hard disc?

Yes, but first you must import the old OE messages into OE on the new
computer and then you can export them from OE to Outlook.
