shifting folders from Windows 98 folders to XP Pro folders

[Bob Hayne]

I recently upgraded my PC

I kept the hard drive from my old PC complete with all
the programs including outlook express email

It is now drive "D " in the new PC

On drive "C" ia have Office installed and I am using
Outlook Express with no problems

I want to export all the "old" folders on my drive "D" (
Windows 98 SE ) to the "new" copy of Express ( operating
system XP Pro )

This should not be a problem both drives have OE 6.0
installed the only difference is the operating system byt
that should not interfere

I have opened OE 6.0 on the new drive "C" and tried to
import from the old drive "D" but so far have had no
success

is there a simple way to do this ?

Heeelllpppp ! I need access to that mail yesterday.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x

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). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
