Thanks so much to anybody who can help me.  I just bought a Gateway
computer running Windows 8.1 and I want to copy my saved emails and various
files from several older computers to the new one.  The older computers are
running Windows Vista and Windows XP.

I tried "easy transfer", but the new computer won't accept the transfer
from the Vista.  I haven't tried anything with the XP yet.

I can copy all the files and folders well enough without easy transfer,
though it will be tedious.  But I don't know how to get my saved emails
moved over.  Some are from 2006, perhaps some even earlier, currently on
Outlook Express.  I don't think I will like the Windows Mail program, so
I'm planning on trying Thunderbird for my email on the new computer.

I have a zip drive which works on all these computers, so I'm hoping to use
that.  I can do CDs as well, if that would be better.  I also have an
external hard drive which I think is pretty full with backup files, but if
that is necessary, I could use that.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Laurie
