Hi folks. I need a little help here. I've been using
Outlook Express on my business computer. I also have it
on my home computer. For various reasons, I need to
transfer all the emails, folders, address book,
configuration, etc, from my work Outlook to my home.
I've taken the hard drive from my work computer and
installed it as a slave on my home computer for this
purpose, but for the life of me I just can't figure out
how to effect the transfer. I thought to try importing
from my home version, starting with the address book, but
even when pointed to the exact folder the .wab (work
version) resides, it won't recognize it. I've copied the
mailbox.pst file from where I found it on the work drive
to the same spot on the home drive... nothing. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, using XP on both boxes if that matters.

Please check what mail program you are ACTUALLY using. Outlook Express does
NOT use a pst file, it uses a number of dbx files.
