Mail Folders, Address Book, Messages Missing After Upgrade to XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313055
==============================
Tools Options Maintenance Store folder will reveal the location of
your current Identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it down.

In WinXP, Win2K and Win2K03, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show
Hidden Files and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder Options View
(cf. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial62.html).

In Windows Explorer, search for .DBX files. Any found which are not located
in your current store will most likely be those from your OE5 Identity. You
can import this data using File Import Messages (select) OE6
(select) From a store directory Point the import wizard to the old
identity's store location.

Thanks to all for all the tips. I finally
figgered it all out.

Prob was going from a 98SE file structure to an
XP file structure. Just had to know what file types
to look for. Has anyone else noticed that explorer
(file list) does not let you sort by file type
(what used to be called extension)??

Just had to find the files in the 98SE structure
(all under C:/windows ...) and move them to
the XP structure (c:/documenrts and settings ...).

All works well...thanks
