I have upgraded to a new computer and have imported my address book from Outlook Express, but I wish to import a bunch of emails (from my old computer ) as well.
Does anyone know the procedure
Cheers
Stephen

Copy the dbx file(s) you require to your new pc, run the Import wizard choosing Import mail from an OE5 store directory, navigate to the appropriate dbx file you've saved and follow the prompts from there.
