Importing OE messages from previous hard drive to new computer OE
 

My old computer died after 6 years and the hard drive is loaded with OE
emails in my "inbox" and "sent items", which I very much need to maintain.
My address book is also on the old hard drive.

It is critical that I recover these emails so I purchased a USB Hard Drive
Enclosure Kit.

Can someone please explain (step-by-step) how I can access the old hard
drive and import the saved emails and address book?

PLease, please, please help!!

Thanks a million,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I'm not familiar with the USB hard drive connection, but try using My
Computer to see if it's listed there, then double-click on the drive to
peruse the files.
