you put it in plain English?

David of IC

What parts are you having trouble with?

First you need to locate the DBX files on the old PC. To do that look
in Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.

Then you need to transfer the DBX files to the new PC. Put them in a
new empty folder, not in the OE folder.

Then if you want all the messages from all folders, do the File, Import,
Messages and point to the Store folder that you created above.

If you only want some messages from some folders, that gets a bit more
complicated. See the link below on importing a single folder.

10/10/07....
I don't know if I am not explaining my problem correctly or not.....and I am
sorry if I am not a techy like most of you guys and girls. I'll try again.

I have a laptop PC at my office. I recently installed a DELL Desktop PC
at home. I am using "Go to my PC" at each location. I use Outlook
Express for my E-Mail on each machine. I want to have the same E-Mail
folders on my home PC as I have on my Laptop PC.

How do I copy the E-Mail folders from my Laptop PC and get them onto my Home
PC?????

Am I explaining the problem correctly???? Warning.....I have different
logic than a computer....so your answers can not be of the "Techy" type.
If they are I won't understand them. Keep it straight forward and simple.
And please, don't tell me to go to some other site to follow those
instructions, because I can't understand the High Tech language. I need
plain English words. And you would be surprised at how many people send me
E-Mails saying they have the same trouble understanding the so called help
we get on these Newsgroups. I thought the newsgroups were there to help
"newbees" but most of the answers are not understandable to us beginners.
Anyway, thanks for your assistance.

You backup the data on your laptop, transfer it to the desktop, and then
import it into OE.

If they are I won't understand them. Keep it straight forward and

The above is as "straight and simply" as your gong to get. No one here (and
we're all volunteers, BTW) is going to hold you hand and walk you through
each step of the process. If this is "too techy" for you, stick with
webmail (e.g., Hotmail).

PS: Post in all caps is considered SCREAMING.

If you are looking with the Windows Explorer, select Tools, Folder
Options, View and make sure the Show Hidden files and folders is
enabled.

On the new PC select a location, such a My Documents, click on it once
to select, the File, New, Folder to create a new folder. Once that is
done, you can give teh folder whatever name you like, such as OEFILES

As for transfering the files from one PC to another, that depends on
what you have, such as a USB flash drive, or CD burner


Then if you want all the messages from all folders, do the File,
Import, Messages and point to the Store folder that you created
