I was away on vacation and set up outlook express on my laptop. I
accumulated some 500 messages, many of which I now want to keep. I noticed
that I have to forward each one from each mail folder to my old address from
my laptop, then read it in again from my desktop. If I forward all the
messages at once, they come over as one message with each of the forwarde
messages as attachments. How can I move some four hundred messages from my
laptop OE folders to my desktop OE folders without doing it one at a time.?
Thanks in advance.

Use the info at these links to backup your message from one machine and
restore them on another.

If you wish to continue to do this in the future, on both machines: Tools |
Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of message on
the server. On one machine - Check to delete after XX days. (The less, the
better).

If it is one dbx file, you can copy it to CD and then to the other machine
and use the instructions here for importing a single folder.
