Default Problem importing email

Are they in dbx files or are they in Hotmail folders? Hotmail folders only
mirror what is on the server, so you would have to download them again.

If you are referring to a POP3 account, You have to copy ALL the dbx files
to CD. Download them to a folder on your new machine's HDD | Remove the Read
Only attribute and then import.

If you are transferring to another PC, and have access to a Windows XP setup
CD, or if both computers are running Windows XP, see:

P.S. Your time, or time zone setting is fast.

I'm having problems importing my email from old computer to my new
computer.
I keep getting the message"No messages can be found in this folder or
another application........."
I seem to have the coorrevt folder on my new hard drive .
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
