Default OE to Windows Live

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a try. Merry Christmas!!

In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the
location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and
navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

Thanks Bruce;
I understand the process, but must reveal how much I don't know. Where
do I
find the "OE message store".
Thanks,
Dave G.

I should have thought of this beforehand! I just bought a new PC with
Windows
7, that uses Windows Live. I want to transfer e-mail folders with
saved
messages from Outlook Express on a PC running XP. I don't know where
to
start
looking for a resolution, or how to accomplish this. Any input would
be
appreciated.

Copy the ***ENTIRE*** OE message store to flash or CD. Do not copy
individual dbx files. Put the copy of the message store on the Win7
Desktop. Open WLMail and File | Import | Messages | Outlook Express and
point to where you saved them.
