Hi Rob,

Here are two Microsoft KB articles that will be helpful. If you plan to use
Outlook on the second PC complete the restore of data for Outlook Express
first.

OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data
OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data

OLEXP: How to Backup and Restore Outlook Express Blocked Senders List and
Other Mail Rules

http://support.microsoft.com/default...11&Product=oex

Not particularly easy, however.



More information and options

Get OETool (www.oehelp.com/OETool/) and OEQB (www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/) and
put them in the same directory. Then there is a button in OETool that will
run OEQB and backup to 3 levels of redundancy just with a click of the
button.

Both are free.

I'm moving to a new computer and have some questions. My old computer
has Outlook Express 6 and Office 2000 and is running Win98. The new
one will have XP Media edition and Office 2000.

1. Can I simply copy the current mail "Outlook Express" folder to the
new computer?

2. Is there an easy way to migrate the message rules?


Thanks.
