I recently upgraded my Home PC (XP Home). My original Drive 'C' is now my
Drive 'E'. A new hard drive was installed and all the main Software,
including 'Outlook Express 6' was reintalled on the new Drive 'C'. My old
drive 'E' still has the original software on it. Question is:- how do I copy
the old Emails on the 'Outlook Express' on drive 'E' accross to Drive 'C'
without loosing them, to be incorporated/read by the 'Outlook Express 6' on
Drive 'C'? What files do I need to copy accross??

Search for *.dbx on the old drive and then use File | Import | Messages and
point to that directory. The dbx files are hidden. See

Thanks 'Steve Cochran' that worked a treat. A bit at a time and I finally
imported everything back into my new Outlook Express.
