147360 2003-05-25 06:47:00 Have just installed Xp home onto \windows2 directory (Because it threatened to overwrite files in my old winME \windows directory) so I now want to paste my old outlook files/folders from the old windows directory into the new windows2 directory so I can access previous emails, correspondence and contacts. What folders contain this information? mcjelly (3439)
147361 2003-05-25 06:58:00 In OE. File (menu)> Export> Messages. Repeat for Address Book. Or alternatively you can set up (if not already) your new OE and File> Import.
