Hello,
yesterday I've transferred via cable all old computer's HDD to new computer
(to folder, which I named "old hdd"). Thought it was easy to transfer OE
inbox and address book, but when I go via File-import, clicking left mouse
button , it shows OE folder is empty on "old hdd", so nothing to import. When
I click the right mouse button, I can see the folder is not empty and has
files I need to transfer, but how to do it? I can't "drive" to these files
clicking left button. By the way, old inbox.dbx is zipped. Strange.
Old computer has Win 98, new XP Pro, both use OE 6.0

Laimonas.

I've had a similar problem of trying to identify the location of OE files.
A quick way would be to ensure Windows explorer can see ALL files and do a
search for *.dbx files. That will show you where they all are from which
you should be able to identify **your** files.

I keep all **my** files in a discreet folder (My documents?). In that way
things like emails, faxes and favorites don't get lost amongst the software.

Regards.
