Where To Place Transferred Files In New Outlook Express (New PC Running XP) ?
 

Hello:

Just finished transferring all my old files from an old W98 PC to my new one
running XP.

Can someone, please, tell me where to place the following (from the old PC)
into XP:

a. For Outlook Express-

-the Address Book
-the (I think they are .dbx) folders that I had created to store
received e-mail messages
-any others that I need to place in the new OE folder ?

Will they be recognized and used automatically ?
etc. ?


Thanks,
Bob

Try using the OE menu items:-

File|Import|Address book
File|Import|Messages

and in the "Open" window navigate to the folder where you have your
old files.
