The files and settings wizard in Windows XP appears to assist in transferring message rules and other settings in Outlook Express but unfortunately not messages. To successfully get all current messages from Outlook Express on to a new computer, the method will depend on which mail program will be used on the new PC. If Windows 7 is being used, then chances are that you may be planning to use Windows Live Mail. Thunderbird is also a good choice, but the question is, what email program do you plan to use on the new computer? -----Original Message----- From: Reginald George [mailto:sgeorge@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 7:25 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Saving and Transferring Emails and Favorites There is a file and settings transfer wizard built into Windows 7 and XP that can be used to transfer all that stuff. Maybe someone else has used it more recently than I have. I wonder if it's gotten any better. I know it can work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Shrawder" <kshrawder@xxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 10:59 PM Subject: [real-eyes] Saving and Transferring Emails and Favorites Hi all! I'm planning to get a new computer this week. However, I have tons of email messages in several personal folders, and I don't want to lose them. Is there a way I can save them and put them on my external hard drive and move them onto my new computer? What about my favorites from Internet Explorer? I don't want to lose those either. Thanks in advance!
