Re:Here is how I do it.
Go to windows file
then aplication data file
then identities
then open the long number file
then open microsoft file
then open outlook express file
here is where all of your old e-mails send and recieved are at, also subscribed newsgroups etc
I save the contents of this last file "outlook express" and then paste in other outlook programn . All my sent-received e-mail, pics in e-mail etc are here.
This may not be the best way of doing it but it works for me. I have every e-mail from last 3 years even through several disasters on computer.

Re:Got it figured out. Thanks! It's easy when you have the two computers networked. All I had to do was import the folder, choose which version of OE was on the other computer and since it wasn't on this computer, I entered the path name of the other folder. I clicked on it and it asked me which messages I wanted, I selected all and it transferred everything over. Pretty painless.
Thanks again,
Sal
PS. Now I have to figure out how to transfer my favorites from IE. Can't be that tough though.

Re:I believe you have to use OE to import the existing folder – when I have tried just cutting and pasting it causes crashes on startup of OE.

What's the best way to copy the folder though. Can I import that file directory to the other computer or do I have to replace it with this one?
I just don't know the process of copying over the files. Do I just copy the whole directory and paste it in the other directory? Do I replace the folder with the other one? I'm not clear on the process.
Many thanks for pointing out the location of the folder contents though.

Re:Tools>options>maintenance>Store folder.
Now look where the store folder is & copy all the files in the folder to the other machine.
