I have tried this but get the error that there are no messages. I didn't do
an export or save obviously on the last time my laptop worked before it
failed. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. I'm working my way
through the websites mentioned in the first message. Adrian.

Having just changed laptops because of constant power faults with my last
one, is there any way I can retrieve the messages that were in OE6 from
the
original hard drive? I have a USB caddy and have used it to copy all my
documents across, but I really need the emails that were in the various
boxes
and folders, and the address book. Many thanks, Adrian.
