How to export e-mail messages to another computer?
 

I have a new computer. I have a ton of e-mails on my old computer that I want
to transfer. All the other stuff I want to transfer I am saving to an
external hard drive from the old computer and will then download to the new
computer.

Does anybody know how to do this with e-mails? I cant use the 'export'
provided in outlook express becasue it will only export to other programs on
the same computer.

I guess another way to put this is 'where are e-mails saved?' I could then
just download them to the hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

How to export e-mail messages to another 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 Start | Run | Ctrl+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 WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked
as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden
Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | View.


Move the files to a new folder on the new computer.
Open OE, File, Import, File| Import| Messages| OE6| Message store
directory, then browse to the new
folder.
