Upgrading issues

[Bduncan]

When upgrading to XP home from 98 SE,
1. Previous e-mail downloaded into outlook express 6 on 98
did not migrate to XP.
2. The address book only migrated to one user.
3. xp outlook express would not let me " switch identity "
from any user.
Is there anything that would solve these issues ? I have
since rolled back to win 98 until I have a resolution.
Thanks

Hi,

OLEXP: Mail Folders, Address Book, and E-mail Messages Are Missing After You
Upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313055

BTW, it would be normal for the mail and AB to migrate to only one account.
You need to copy the data over to the other profiles. OLEXP will only allow
you to switch identities after you have created the new ones.
