help with new computer, transfering email archive
Hi chaps,
Just spent a week of leave transferring 4 years of files from a steam powered W98 Pentium 2 233 machine to a new XP equipped desk top.
Quite impressed with the stability of XP, only one crash in a week!
Anyone know how (apart from emailing them ha ha) how to transfer the archive of emails from Outlook Express on the old machine to the new?
I've located the various .dbx sub folders on the old machine and saved them onto disk. I have managed to find where the equivalent lurk in XP but dragging and dropping doesn't seem to work. They are there sat alongside the default folders on the new machine but don't appear when I open Outlook Express.
I guess it's not that simple.
Using the "export" function only seems to allow transfer to other mail programmes, simililary "import" sources from same.
Anyone nerdy enough to know where I'm going wrong?
Thanks!
