Importing my Outlook Express mail to new PC (with Outlook Express)

[Richard]

Robin,

As long as you copied the actual email files from the
stored folder, do this...

In OE, go to tools > options > maintenence.
Click on Store Folder to find out where OE keeps all of
your messages. Then just paste the messages from the CD
into the Store Folder. This worked for me.

Good luck!

Richard

Also once the files are transferred from the CD make sure the file
attributes are not set as read only.
