Hi Jackie,

There may be other and better ways, but what I do is just manually move all
the ".dbx" files associated with outlook express from the old machine to
the new. To locate them, bring up outlook express and select "Tools ->
Options". In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Maintenance" tab, then
click on "Store Folder". This will tell you which folder the messages are
stored in. Go to this folder on the olkd computer (the path may be kinda
long, so don't forget to get it all), and copy all the .dbx files to the
new computer, doing the same thing on the new one ("Store Folder" in
outlook express) to find the path on the new computer.

HTH,
