Hey Guys,

If I buy a new PC, how can I get the existing emails from my old computer's hard drive (Outlook Express) on the the new PC?  I'll be using Outlook Express as my mail handler on the new PC also.

Thanks,
CMOS

Just find the directories where your OE stuff is stored on your old machine, copy the folders onto a memory stick, plug into your new machine and copy the folders into the OE directories on your new machine.  Rename the inbox folder to "old inbox" or something like that.

Go to the Microsoft website support section and look for your answer. They have very good step-by-step instructions on how to do what you want.
