Trying to move emails

[SteelCity]

I want to export messages from OE6 (XP) to a new computer with Windows email
(Vista).

I followed some instructions which were to (in OE6) go to
Tools/Options/Maintenance/Store Folder. Then I copied the identity path in
there to a new folder I was to create on my desktop called "Email". Then I
was to click the change button and select my new email folder/ press
okay and all files were exported to my new folder. All of this was
copied onto a Flash drive. When I insert it into my new computer I can see
the file names but when I try to Import it, none of the files are seen at
that time.

This is a duplicate post from another area but I think it should have been
here all along.



Help? Please and thank you.

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:
