i'm still glad i did it manually, cause there are programs on this new machine that are already associated with files that are totally different than windows Me that i kinda like :-) and I already had changed my default for mailstore, favs, address book over to "my documents" so all I had to do was import them from there................i think using this would make sense if you were moving stuff from a computer with the same OS to the same OS, or at least for me, and setting up my email accounts was fairly easy as I have the directions on paper, just am redoing my rules which needed to be started all over anyway............had so many rules especially for spam stuff that i no longer receive.
