Hi Folks,
I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it in the FAQs.
I'm running Win98SE and Outlook Express.
Can I extract all my e-mail folders from this system and transfer them to a WinXP system?
What files do I need to collect to make sure I have everything, and where do they have to be put in WinXP please?
Regards.

Basically:

Copy the DBX files, including Folders.dbx, to an empty Windows folder on the hard drive.
Remove the Read Only attribute. Burn to CD.
Then use OE's File | Import.

Or use XP's F.A.S.T.

Many Thanks,
Worked a treat.
Now up and running on XP Pro without having lost anything.
Best Regards.

P.S. It wasn't a perfectly smooth upgrade but at least I can get on the air to ask this forum for help.
I'll be back soon with some more questions.

Thanks for the update and the thanks!

Let us know if we can help further in the future!
