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!
If you are looking with the Windows Explorer, select Tools, Folder
Options, View and make sure the Show Hidden files and folders is
enabled.
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"!
On the new PC select a location, such a My Documents, click on it once
to select, the File, New, Folder to create a new folder. Once that is
done, you can give teh folder whatever name you like, such as OEFILES
As for transfering the files from one PC to another, that depends on
what you have, such as a USB flash drive, or CD burner
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.

me. Can you put it in plain English?
