Import OE6 messages into OE5?
Is it feasible to import a message store created in OE6 (WinXP) into
OE5 (Win95)? This would just be a stopgap pending purchase of a new PC. TIA, -- Martyn Tindall Leeds, England, United Kingdom (To reply, please remove "spamfree.".)

Import OE6 messages into OE5?
Why not just copy the existing message store contents (all of its DBX files)
to a CD or other type of media and restoring it to your new system?

Import OE6 messages into OE5?
The files are the same, so yes.
Move the dbx files to the Win 95 machine. Make sure the files are not marked Read Only. In OE, File, Import, Messages, OE5, Store directory, point to the files that you moved. -- Ron Sommer "Martyn Tindall" wrote in message ... : Is it feasible to import a message store created in OE6 (WinXP) into : OE5 (Win95)?

If it's indeed IE/OE 5.0, the messages may import OK but they might not be
usable unless he upgrades to IE/OE 5.01 or higher. Long story... -- ~PA Bear Ron Sommer wrote: Martyn said OE5 (Win 95). "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

CRS strikes again. I thought messages created with the more current Address
Book wouldn't work in OE5.0 or earlier. Other way 'round? Steve Cochran wrote: Correct. "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE" wrote in message ...
