I am getting a new computer. What OE files do I need to transfer to my
new computer in order to keep the same identities, servers, emails -
sent/received -, address books, newsgroups subscribed to, etc? Where do
I find the files? What is the exact procedure?

I will not be using the XP File Transfer program. Rather, I'll copy the
important files to disk and reestablish them in the rpoper plces.

Thanks for your help.
