The OE files are contain in *.dbx files.

Account Settings
From the old OE toolbar, select Tools > Accounts > Export.

To transfer your email:
1. Search old hard drive for "*.dbx" and note the folder these files are
in.
2. Open OE and click File > Import > Messages > Outlook Express 5 or 6 >
Import Mail form an OE 5 or 6 Store Directory > Browse and navigate to the
folder on the old drive which holds your DBX files.

Address Book
1. Search old hard drive for *.wab. 2. In the new OE click File > Import >
Address Book and point to the file you found on the old drive.

Audrey,
Those files are kept in the message store folder.. If you do a
search for "*.dbx" without the quotes and notice the period, you
will find them. I think you should use one of the following programs
to MOVE them... These programs work flawlessy if you follow the
directions.. Go to these links and look at Steve Cochrans and Majik's
programs.. One of them is a pay program, but if you use the free one
I would certainly send them a donation... You will see the donation
button on his site.

Go there and have a look... They will do what you want to do.
Hope this helps.

Burt, with respect, the first and third links you give are programs
usually used for extracting mail from corrupted folders, (DBXpress does
more) and not for backing up purposes.

More better -

- which starts with a link to Majik's free backup program.

Kath,
It is possible that I become a little "over" aggressive when
it comes to backup on E Mails.. I know that if you have them
backed up you can easily move them... Possibly I am in err here
with my suggestions, but I have had many people E Mail me
direct from my site and thank me for the info given.. I also
agree with you on Tom Koch programs. If you notice on my
"teckpage" that he is listed as well.
Anyway, thanks for the input.
Burt
