I think from reading emails from numerous discussion groups, that there are a lot of us folks in the same boat, and looking for our way up the river.
I mean in my case, I have an old dying XP machine.I bought a new Windows 7 machine, to try and learn it while still using the XP one to do stuff I usually need to get done.
There are several areas of endeavor that I am still quite short in my understanding of how to use Windows 7.
Just basic differences.It is not the purpose of this list, I know, so I try not to clog things up with that.
But perhaps, there is a good place to go to get the paddles and the working knowledge that I need. In many instances it seems that the software programs are actually different, too, in addition to just how the new OS works.
Thanks. rik-----Original Message----- From: Bob W

I think you have to have exported your mail from outlook express before you can import it into thunderbird. It's been a long time since I've done that sort of thing, but that's what I seem to remember. Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Loran Bailey" <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx>

I have just been trying to import them using my current email program and I failed. I suppose I don't quite know what I am doing. I checked the Thunderbird help, but it doesn't seem to address Outlook Express. On 11/29/2011 8:03 AM, Evan Reese wrote:
Those Outlook Express emails are .dbx files. The folders that contain them are buried pretty deeply in the directory structure, and they have long names with lots of letters and numbers in them. I used to know more details about that, but I haven't had an XP system for over three years. I think a little Googling will show where they can be found and how they can be retrieved manually, but if you can import them using your current email program, that will certainly be easier.

Thank you again Mike for the hard drive enclosure. It arrived today. I was able to recover the book I was working on. At least I think I recovered it. As of yet I am unable to open it. I will be working on getting Open Book 9 and I hope I will be able to open it then. I don't seem to be able to find my emails though. After poking around for some time I did find what seems to be a folder labeled with the same label name I used in Outlook Express where they should be, but I am unable to open that either. When I try it mentions something about being a backup folder and wants me to check on line for a program that will open it. I am not sure that it is even the folder I want because it is called a backup folder. I thought I would be able to just open it and read my stored emails. I expected not to be able to read the scanned books I had because they are all in ark format and I suppose I will need a working copy of Open Book to read those, but I don't know what the problem with the emails might be.
