Hi Peter, I've just looked at that site and the only reference I found was to DBextract which extracts messages from DBX files into a series of .EML message files, that's not what I want. I'm trying to transfer all my emails from one computer to another. I've got as far as copying the DBX files across but can't get them to import into OE on the new machine. I'm told that there are no messages or the folder is being used by another application. This is XP Home. There are plenty of DBX files in the folder and it's not being used by anything else. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can get round this nonsense? Many thanks in advance, Cheers Terry ************************************************************ DESCRIBE ONLINE - MAKING IT EASIER THROUGH TEXT Terry Robinson B.Sc 82 Albert Rd.
