How do you copy messages from one computer to another?

[kevin]

I want to be able to copy all the messages from one computer (it uses Outlook Express) to another computer using Outlook Express...is there a way to do this?

[Doug]

Open Outlook, click on file, click on "Export" and select messages or
addresses and export them to a file, transfer to a floppy disk. Put the
floppy in another computer, open outlook, and same procedure as before
only click on "Import" and browse for your floppy.
That's pretty much it.

Hope this helps,

Doug

I want to know the easiest way to move all the email messages from a computer using Outlook Express to a new computer using Outlook Express. Outlook Express won't let you export to a disk, it just saves the file somewhere on your hardrive. Then, you have
to import it into Outlook, and then export it again so you have the choice to save it to a disk. Is this correct logic? Sounds like it is crazy to me, there has to be an easier way.

Sure...by asking in an appropriate newsgroup. This one is for the XP
OS. Bye bye now!

It's an appropriate response to a question asked in an inappropriate
newsgroup. Now YOUR response was stupid.
