From Steve Cochran:
Search the old drive for *.dbx and then in OE use File | Import and point to
that directory. Don't try and move the files into OE's message store
directly.
That will mess things up.

If you want the address book, search for *.wab and then import that file as
well.

Hiya
I wonder if anyone can help. I recently on my old computer upgraded from
Window ME to XP Pro. When I opened Outlook Express all my old e-mails etc
were gone (doh). I can locate where that are stored but I am at a loss as
how to open them, or get OE to integrate them with the local folders. I
have then gone on to get a new computer running XP Home. I've put my old
hard drive in and again can still locate the old DBX files but unable to
open with anything meaningful to get at my old e-mails. I've also tried to
merge/move them into new folders where OE is now storing them, but they
simply rename themselves with a (1) after. Can anyone please advise.

Thanks
