very simple: Just copy the old Outlook Express folder from the path mentioned below (on the old computer) to the My Documents folder. Then on the new machine open OE and click 'file -import - messages- choose Outlook express 6 - check Import mail from an OE6 store directory - check browse and point to the folder in My Documents and check which folders you want to import. We usually do all for our customers but some only want the inbox and others only want a specific folder they have created. simple as pie!!
