how do I reinstall outlook express?
Is it ok now that I have moved the files? when I moved the files did all

my contact information, and folders with my email stay within them?
I am really frustrated, having spent all day on this.......I should have
never listended to the person who told me to upgrade my computer, I had
been
using it like this for 3 and a half years.......this really sucks

I think I'm the one who told you to upgrade. Did you do the malware checks
before the upgrade?

When you moved the DBX files you just moved the messages, not contacts.
Each of your folders had a DBX file with its messages. Folders.dbx was used
by OE to keep track of them. If you moved Folders.dbx with the others you
should be able to use OE's File | Import to recover them.

What happens when you try to import?
What happens when you try to forward?
Can you receive?
Can you send a new message?
