I've tried repeatedly to transfer files and settings from
my old computer to my new one. Old has XP Pro and new one
has XP Home. Everything seems OK till the end when I try
to get the transfer going and each computer keeps
searching and searching for the other. I've tried serial
ports and ethernet or whatever it's called with that
oversized telephone-like cable. The two computers never
find each other. I just found out how to transfer
my "favorites" from one to the other using a floppy, but
now need to move tons of email folders and email that i
want to keep archived as living breathing email that can
be forwarded or whatever
Any ideas?
 
For the same problem:

I want to transfer files from Window98 laptop to Window XP
home edition.

Help!
 
In outlook express click tools, options and the
maintenance tab and click Store Folder, remember this
location and find it through explorer, copy all files
within this folder to the equivilant location on your new
machine, I can't remember this path off hand.

Hope this helps
