How do I transfer messages and files from a W98 Outlook Express 5 computer
to a WinXP Outlook Express 6 machine? The Win XP transfer wizard moves only
some files and messages, but not all that I have on the W98 OE 5 machine.
Thanks.

Hi,

Copy the .dbx files from the Win98 installation to the WinXP system, place
in a folder of your choice. Open OE from within WinXP, click
tools/options/maintenance and click on the store folder. Browse to the newly
copied over files and select this new folder as the store location. You will
be prompted to import the mail store.
