I'm not sure what you mean when you say you don't want to save them as
individual messages in .eml format. What format other than eml would you
want?

What I would suggest, if this is close enough to what you want to do, is on
computer 1, create a folder and name it Temp. Copy all the messages you want
on computer 2 to this folder.

Open the message store and copy the Temp.dbx file to CD. Copy the CD to the
HDD on computer 2 and save it to the Desktop. Right click on the Temp.dbx
file | Properties, and remove the Read Only attribute.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go to Windows Explorer and
locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but don't open it.
Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder.
Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

Now, if you wish, you can drag the messages from the Temp folder to any
folder you wish, but stay away from default folders like the Inbox.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.

I would like to export a group of messages from a mail folder from one
computer to another computer's mail folder. I don't want to save the
messages in .eml format as individual messages, I want them integrated
into the destination computer's OE mailbox.

I tried the Export Messages option but it told me it exports to
Microsoft Outlook or Exchange. When I went ahead and tried it I have
no idea where it saved the mailbox I selected.

What is the proper way to do this? Thanks.
