| 12796 | 2001-05-18 06:18:00 | I am trying to import Outlook Express 5 messages to Outlook Express 5.5 on another computer. I have successfully done the address book, but it won't import the messages. When I try to import it comes up saying can not find the message files (I have it shared). Please help. | Guest (0) | ||
| 12797 | 2001-05-18 06:48:00 | Hello Chris The easiest way for you to perform this task is to copy your C:\Windows\Application Data\ Folder to the other PC (this folder can be quite large depending on how much mail you have stored,so if you don't have a CD Writer you may have to remove your hard drive temporarily and then install it as a slave on the other PC) then copy it to a folder called mail restore. Then open Outlook Express and go to >> File >> import>> messages >>Microsoft Outlook Express 5 >> Click on next >>Import mail from OE5 store directory >>click on browse >> point to the mail restore folder >> application data >>Identities >> 9f4e 654656 (different on every machine )>> Microsoft >> Outlook express >> click on OK >> click on next >> Done Alan |

| 12798 | 2001-05-19 16:41:00 | The correct path to use for importing mail is c:\windows\application data\microsoft\outlook express. If you use c:\windows\application data\microsoft\outlook express\mail you will get a message saying the files can't be found. | Guest (0) | ||
| 12799 | 2001-05-19 23:36:00 | I am able to do this now. You can't import the messages over a shared folder, but if copy to the target computer locally, it works. | Guest (0) | ||
