Hi,

if you like, & still have your old machine within your reach, you might like
to try to use the e-backup utility which you can get from

in case you are a jaws user, you might like to download the jaws scripts for
the same from:

one reason why copying & pasting of folders doesn't really work this way is
because, when e-backup backs up or restores the identity & other things, it
also copies & restores the registration entries. an absolute guess. i say so,
because i saw these .reg files in the backup folder that it created for me.
Thanks for the tip. Actually, I think I just solved this. When I went to the
directory where I placed the old folders and took another look, I saw a
folders.dbx file, so, just as an experiment, I threw the folders.dbx file in
the Recycle bin and let Outlook Express rebuild it. Now I can see the old
folders and read messages in them. Cool.
