456521 2006-05-21 01:26:00 Hi,
I've purchased a new PC with XP. My old one was a P3 500MHz with Win98. I have found where the Outlook Express folders are on the old PC but would like to know how to transfer them to the new machine.

When I went to Files -> Export -> Messages it said that "would transfer messages from Express to MS Outlook or Exchange". What I want to do is to transfer messages from Express to Express.

I tried searching the Forum but couldn't see anything easily.

Can this be done easily? The path where they are at present is as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{655B6980-330D-11D7-A1FE-94268BE2C92E}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

I can't see anything like this on the new PC.

Thanks in anticipation.

You are doing things the hard way. Go to Softpedia.com (http://Softpedia.com) and download a program called ABF Outlook Express Backup. It is shareware. but you get thirty days use, more than enough for your purposes.
