What parts are you having trouble with?
First you need to locate the DBX files on the old PC. To do that look in
Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder....XXXXX I DID NOT FIND THE DBX
FILES THERE!
Then you need to transfer the DBX files to the new PC. Put them in a new
empty folder, not in the OE folder....XXXX SINCE I DID NOT FIND THE DBX
FILES , BUT IF I DID, I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO HOW TO PUT THEM IN "A NEW EMPTY
FOLDER"!
Then if you want all the messages from all folders, do the File, Import,
Messages and point to the Store folder that you created above.....XXXX,
YES I WANT TO BRING OVER ALL THE E-MAILS IN THE FOLDERS....BUT HOW DO I
"DO THE FILE, IMPORT, MESSAGES......AND HOW DO I POIJNT TO THE STORE
FOLDER???? NOW IF I COULD GET THAT FAR.....HOW TO I GET THEM IN THE
OTHER DESKTOP PC?????
IS THIS A LOST CAUSE OR IS THERE SOME WAY I CAN LEARN TO GET IT DONE???
THANKS for you assistance. Sorry I'm not as smart as the rest of you.

If you only want some messages from some folders, that gets a bit more
complicated. See the link below on importing a single folder.
