transferring between computers
I run Outlook Express 6 on my old computer and my new one. I'm trying to get
my old (inbox) e-mail transferred from my old computer to my new one. The problem is I don't know where to look for it. I exported the mail from my old one but I don't know where the export file is (or what the name is). I have the computers connected. Please help me locate the file. Thanks -- emjay

I don't know how different Outlook 6 is from Outlook 2003, but from Outlook
2003 I can go to File/Data File Management. That screen shows where the .pst files are located that stores most email info. Do this from your old program to locate the files, then open your new program to point them to the same place. I hope this helps.

This newsgroup is for Microsoft Office Outlook, not Outlook Express; the two
are distinctly different programs. There are Microsoft newsgroups for OE and you'll find much better OE expertise in them. Having said that, see if these help: Backing Up, Recovering and Restoring OE5/6 Files and Settings http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/index.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_oe.htm#xp_oe_restore Windows XP - FILE & SETTINGS TRANSFER WIZARD http://aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=270670 http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/how.htm#importOE5 How do I import OE5 and OE6 mail folders?
