| 66115 | 2002-07-27 21:08:00 | Whenever I migrate to a new PC, I loose all my previous email history. Is there a way I can save my Outlook Express mail messages on my old PC so that I can transfer them to my new PC ? I have both CD-W & Zip drives, so transfering the data isn't an issue. (I am aware of how to do it in Outlook but Outlook Express doesn't have the same functionality). Since upgrading to a new PC is a reasonably common occurance and since O E is installed by default with IE, why hasn't Microsoft included a means of doing this or even some Help ? |

| 66117 | 2002-07-27 22:09:00 | Hi Warwick. Within OE you can export your email as a PST file. You can then import this file to the new system. I would also suggest that you export your address book as well. See the link below on how to do these things. support.microsoft.com cheers Parry |
