10549 2001-03-28 02:34:00 Hi,I am using an replacement PC which doesn't have my mails, adress books etc.But what we've done was install the hard drive from my dead PC into this new replacement PC as a slave.
Rather than the export and import feature ,can you configure the second hdd that has my mails etc so I could run the outlook express from it?

10550 2001-03-29 11:35:00 I have done something similar with Outlook 4 and 5 on 98 and 2000.
In 2000, there is a an option under tools to select your data directory. Select a suitable folder on the drive you wish to store your mail on.
Restart Outlook. Stop Outlook. Copy your 2000 files into this dir then restart Outlook.
For 98, you have to do a clean install of Outlook (I never found a way around this which is why 2000 is so much better). When it installs, select the dir you wish your mail to be in. Stop Outlook. Copy your files across to the dir and voila.

Hope this helps.
