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. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "David of IC" wrote in message ... Mike, I am not a geek.

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.

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).
