Outlook Express

[SuRichardson]

I am getting a new computer at the weekend. I am having my present hard drive added as a slave drive. Will I still be able to access my Outlook Express folders on the old drive? If not - how can I import them and their contents to the new drive. Both old and new computers are running Windows XP?

Try the following website from MS and follow the instructions:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/oe/importing.mspx

Outlook stores settings in a file called outlook.pst - perform a search for the location of this file on your slave drive if you do not know where it is so you can locate it when the import wizard asks for it.

1. Open outlook, highlight inbox and click RMB, select properties, make an note of the path to inbox.dbx.

2. Click file, import, messages, microsoft outlook express 6, then click next, select "import mail from an OE6 store directory" and click ok, then browse to inbox.dbx using path noted in step one, select all folders.

Missed this bit out, navigate to the inbox.dbx file on your old hard drive, not the new one.
