I am moving everything to a newer computer, and I'm not sure how to go
about
it with Outlook Express and all my email and email folders. I tried
copying
the old Identity to the new computer, putting it in Docs & Settings right
next to the new Identity. But so far it isn't showing up in Outlook
Express
when I try to Manage and Switch Identities. Is there a correct way to do
this?

I have the two computers hooked up via a LAN so it is easy to copy files
back and forth.
