Bruce, this was very helpful. I found the .DBX files that are the E-mail
folders. What would happen if I just copied these files to the same location
in a different computer using Outlook Express? Would I see the E-mails in
the second computer?

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the location
in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the
location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

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:

similar when searching on my C: drive of the computer that uses Outlook

local
folders E-mail to the new computer.
