One option if you want to copy some messages but not all is to use
drag-and-drop. You can drag-and-drop messages from OE folders to a
Windows folder which makes each message an EML file. You can then
transport those to the other PC and then drag-and-drop them into OE
folders there.
- Complication: Messages are saved as *.EML files where the first part
of the file name is the message's subject. If you save multiple
messages in one drag-and drop operation, OE will automatically number
the subsequent messages with identical subject to make the name unique.
But if you later save additional messages with the same subject it will
start the numbering process over again and you will get a "Confirm File
Replace" dialog for the duplicate names. When this happens, leave the
confirm dialog and switch to the Windows File Explorer. Rename the
first file (e.g. rename "The Subject.EML" to "The Subject-1.EML"). Then
switch back to the Confirm dialog and click on YES. The new message
will get saved with the original name and the previous message will
still be there with the new name.

For the past month, while out of town, I've received and saved in my
OE6 inbox a variety of emails on my notebook. When I return home, I'd
like to move or copy these messages to the OE6 on my home computer. I
see where OE6 lets me export to Outlook. Is there an easy way to
export such that I can subsequently import into OE?
