| 232612 | 2004-04-28 02:05:00 | I have built a new PC and want to use Thunderbird and Firefox instead of IE and OE as I did on my old PC. I copied my old hard drive onto my new PC and placed the files onto the second HDD. I am now wanting to import my old email addresses, received email, sent emails and favourites. Where do I find them on my old PC? :(:( Thanks in advance. |

| 232614 | 2004-04-28 03:58:00 | Thanks Merlin. I think I worded my original question incorrectly :( In what directory and under what names (what files am I looking for) do I find my old email, and addresses? |

| 232615 | 2004-04-28 04:38:00 | Location depends on the version of Windows . Regardless of windows version, later versions of OE use a dbx extension, earlier versions use an idx extension . The windows address book has a wab extenstion . If sharing the address book with Outlook, pab files are used . Search for the location . Backup critical data .

| 232616 | 2004-04-28 04:42:00 | Do a search on your hard drive for *.dbx for the email folders and *.wab for your address book. ;-) | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
