Outlook Express Migration

[MMM]

How do I get my old OE e-mails transferred from Win 98 to XP? I tried
copying the folders, but XP can't find them. They are in the same directory
as newer ones I created in XP, but with different names.
Thanks!

Never try doing it manually because you might upset the way OE references/indexes
messages. Put the folder in its original state, then go File->Import->Messages,
select Outlook Express 6 (if that is what you're importing from), Next, select
"Import from an OE6 store directory", point the wizard the to the Outlook Express
folder containing the stuff to import and just follow your nose.
