Changing ISP's
 

Currently I have Copper.Net, which incorporates OE in it's mail system.
Changing to PeoplePC will involve a change in the setup for OE6 and, in my
opinion, a loss of the current account.
Is there an easy way to save this information and transfer it to the new
account?

Harry.

If you want to save your account settings for Copper.net: Tools | Accounts |
Mail | Export. But these settings will mean nothing if you cancel your
account with Cooper. Or am I misunderstanding what you want to save? The
server settings for PeoplePC will be different.

Sorry for making myself not clear enough, Bruce.
I would like to save my 'Sent items' and an entire created New Folder' with
its subfolders, if that's possible.

Harry.

Easiest is just to create a new Windows Explorer folder and call it "Sent
Items" and save it on your Desktop. Now open Outlook Express and resize it
so it only takes up half the window. Open the Windows Explorer folder "Sent
Items" and resize it so it takes up the other half. Now go to Sent Items in
Outlook Express and press Ctrl+A to select all the messages, and drag/drop
them into the Windows Explorer folder.

You can now save that Explorer folder, copy it to a CD, transfer it to any
system and each time you wish to read a message, just double click it and it
will open in Outlook Express. The entire process should take about 1 or 2
minutes.

Changing ISPs should not affect OE as it is part of your operating system
and not part of your ISP. That said, it is always a good idea to backup OE
so if anything should happen, your folders and messages can be replaced.

Thank you both, Bruce and Jim, for your quick responses.
I sort of anticipated your answer, Bruce, but Jim's reply is something new
to me and will need some extra attention.
Now I feel better about changing ISP's.
The links are very helpful also.

Be careful using PeoplePC. They have a proprietary dialer software and you may not get your
antivirus program to automatically update off the Internet. (Or any other program that requires
automatic updates).
You will be forced to manually update these programs after you establish your Internet connection.

That is certainly very useful information, Richard and it will motivate me
to have second thoughts about my intentions.
I am glad you made me aware of this and you have my gratitude for it. Thanks
a whole lot.

If you are looking for a "low cost ISP", take a look at www.isp.com. I have connected a number of
our club members to this ISP and they all report good service. ISP.COM has only an $8.95 monthly
charge for full, unlimited service, but they do charge for tech support after 30 days. But at least
the tech support has a Utah accent, which most of us can understand LOL.

Tried that one some time back and my phone number is not included in their
service area. Thanks anyway, Richard.
Think I'll stick with Copper.Net for the time being, at least.
Their service costs less than 10 $'s a month, if signed up for the whole
year and it's very efficient. For 5 $'s more there is HighSpeed also, but
that didn't work out for me.
