Backing up and Cloning your OE Identities:

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:

If you really only want to save the one dbx file, copy it to CD. Put the CD
in the new machine and save the dbx file to the Desktop. Right click on the
dbx file and clear the Read Only attribute and then follow these steps to
get the folder into OE.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go to Windows Explorer and
locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but don't open it.
Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder.
Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.
