Transfer Preferences/Settings

Posted: 09-15-2003, 07:10 PM
I put my old Hard Drive (HD) into my new comp. I
expected an easier time of settings/file xfer. I tried
to transfer all my e-mails in Outlook Express from my old
HD D:\(has Win 98) to my new HD C:\(Win XP Pro). Both
running Outlook Express 6. I used File and Settings
Trasnfer Wizard to no avail. I wish to ONLY xfer Outlook
Express Files/Settings, can anyone help?

Thanks.

OLEXP: How to Backup and Restore Outlook Express Blocked Senders List and
Other Mail Rules

Locate the .dbx files that contains your email - find storage location by
choosing Tools, Options, Maintenance tab and check the Store Folder entry.

Copy and paste this address into your Start, Run dialog to open it, then
copy the files to a backup disk.

The Address Book - Select File, Export

Choose Text File (Comma Separated Values) as the export option, as this can
be easily be imported into Outlook Express and any standard database
software.

The setup information for each of your email and news accounts must also be
exported; you do this through the Tools, Accounts dialog - select the
account and click Export to save the data in an .iaf file format.
