Hi all,
I am new to OE6,
I have mails in my inbox (laptop) which I like to transfer all
these to my another PC which I can still use with another OE6.
By clinking export - messages - to MS outlook will encouter MAPI
initialisation error does which I suspected that is because my laptop does
not have MS Outlook (only OE6).

Pls advice how else can I transfer my complete OE6 local folder to another
OE6
in another PC ?

Also when I click on the recv mail, OE6 will download all mails from my
respective account, but will also delete all downloaded email inside the
email account.
How do I prevent that ? I just need to download to my PC as a mean of
working offline, but would not want to delete any mails in my email in event
I am travelling.

Thanks for reading.

1) If you are trying to export to Windows Messaging or
Outlook97/98/2000+ on the same PC, then that program must be the default
MAPI program (Not OE). The messages go to the default profile in that
program. On the other hand, if all you want to do is back up the files
or transfer to another PC using OE, Export is not the way to go.

2) Assuming that you are using a POP3 mail account, you can have all
users/PCs download all message from a POP3 mail server by selecting
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, Leave a copy of messages on
the server in all users/PCs. One or more of the users/PCs should be set
to delete messages from the server after a few days or else the server
mail account will eventually fill. However, Sent messages will only be
saved on the sending user/PC.
