Can you put the hard drive on the second machine?
If so, copy the DBX files from it to a folder on the second machine to one named such as C:\Mail Do not try to put them in the Identities folder on the second machine.

Select it to highlight it, then press OK Finish up the import. "M Mordkovych" wrote in message ...

The problem is however how not to cope duplicate messages I have many messages on both systems. I dont know if I can put the drive in other machine, but maybe I can use Laplink.

EIDE drive? Set the old one as a slave or cable select depending upon the
cable. Bruce already mentioned OEX which works great. "M Mordkovych" wrote in message ... Thanks a simple solution!

Transfer mail messages/folders from old system
I have a similar problem, only I'm trying to transfer my old messages and
folders from a working "old" machine to my "newer" PC. I was able to do the address book, OE to OE, but I have not been able to move the messages/folders--different process from the address book. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Dan "M Mordkovych" wrote in message ...

Transfer mail messages/folders from old system
Hi Dan,
You can use Import to acquire all your old mail folders and messages. To find the location where Outlook Express stores its folders and messages. On the old computer, open Outlook Express, choose Tools | choose Options | on the Maintenance tab click Store Folder, examine the displayed path, that is where all your messages are stored. This folder and its contents needs to copied to a location on your new computer, I suggest My Documents. On the new computer, open Outlook Express, choose File, on it's menu select Import, on the expanded menu choose Messages. In the Outlook Express Import dialog window select "Microsoft Outlook Express 6" (or 4 if old computer has OE4), click Next. In the Import From OE6 dialog window tick "Import mail from OE6 store directory", click OK. In the Outlook Express Import dialog window click Browse and browse to the location in My Documents where you stored the data, click Next. In the next dialog window assure All Folders is ticked, click Next. Ken PS: perhaps you might be interested in Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
