| 102527 | 2002-12-02 00:59:00 | What I have done in the past is: Open OE, click View, sort the emails by however you want (name, date - etc) click on the first email, hold down the shift and then click the last one, then email them to your new computer. You can then file them in whatever folders you like on the new computer BALDY:-) |

| 102528 | 2002-12-02 01:05:00 | You could also email the ones you want to keep as an attachment, save them to a suitably named folder then save on floppy or CD if you have a writer | Baldy (26) | ||
| 102529 | 2002-12-02 01:11:00 | That's the same error I was getting when I tried to import them over the network! I'll have to have another look when I come and visit you next. |

| 102530 | 2002-12-02 01:34:00 | OK, thanks for that, cyabro. I was just wondering that if i made myself clear to everyone? What I have said previously is correct, but I don't think I made my intentions clear - I wish to MERGE the emails, not replace my new emails on my new computer, with old emails from the old computer. Because I think that it's silly having half of my emails on one computer, and the other half on another computer. Sorry for any confusion (if there was any) thanks anyway caffy |

| 102531 | 2002-12-02 05:09:00 | Caffy, YES the existing folders containing your emails on your new computer WILL be replaced by the ones you copy from your old computer . I'm glad you thought of that yourself before trying it because I meant to mention it in my first post . You will need to "backup" your emails first . What I did on my new computer is create some new temporary folders in OE to hold the ones I want to keep BEFORE I transfered the ones from the old computer into Win Explorer . Then when the old folders have been moved in Win Explorer you can just move the emails in those temp OE folders where you want them . It is a bit long winded but like you, I haven't had any luck any other way . I could email them to myself like Baldy suggested, but that's not practical with a few hundred of them . |

| 102532 | 2002-12-02 06:44:00 | I've done this heaps of times and found relatively easy way... Open up OE on the source PC. Go to Tools-options-maintenance. Click on "store folder". Click on "change". Change the folder to c:\program files\outlook express Click ok (a couple of times from memory). It will tell you that your store folder will be moved the next time you start OE. Exit OE and then start it again - you will see your folders/emails being moved. Then exit OE, use windows explorer to copy your c:\program files\outlook express foilder across your network to the other PC. Copy it into the same folder on the destination PC. Crank up OE on the destination PC - go to tools-options-maintenace ckick on store folder and change it to the program files\outlook express one. You'll get a message sayin gthat a store folder already exists and do you want to use it? Click yes. Go through the oks etc again. Exit OE and start it again. Your new messages will be there! Sounds messy and time consuming but easier than the piggy OE export feature... |
