Hi Wendy,
Were you able to move the files over successfully?

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Please help with .dbx issue
Hello,
I am trying to move some Outlook Express mail from one computer to another
while keeping it in it's original format (not saving each e-mail as an
individual file but wanting to go to OE and see the e-mail as it came in
initially). I tried to move a .dbx file from one computer to another but the
computer that the file was downloaded to does not see the new file/OE
folder. I also tried to create a new folder of the same name as the .dbx
file, thinking once the folder was created it would read the e-mails in it
(the file I moved over) but it just created a second .dbx file and ignored
the one I downloaded. Has anyone had any luck trying to do this? I would
like to keep the files/e-mails in their original format because of ease in
tracking. I lose tracking information when I save the individual e-mails as
separate files (i.e. lose sender, date received, full description of subject
without opening each individual file). Also this would be difficult as there
are about 1000 e-mails that need to be moved.
The computer that I am removing the mail files from is running Windows NT
and the computer that I am adding them to is running Windows 98. Also tried
to add them to a computer running Windows ME just to see if it would work
and if the glitch was Win98 - no luck. All computers have the same version
of Outlook Express as far as I can tell. When I looked at Microsoft's
websire all I found was information on working with newer versions of
Outlook, unless I'm just not looking for the information correctly.
A reply is not urgent as I am away from home and will not return til next
Tuesday.
Thank you very much in advance,
Wendy Simmons
