I don't know where you read this. Tools | Options | Maintenance shows where
the files are stored only. There's no mention of Import or Export under Tools in either of these links. You will have to explain in more detail. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "coffeeman" wrote in message ...

Bruce,
I apologize. I was reading at the top of the page where it talked about: 1. Backup your OE mail and news accounts By using this method, you will be able to restore all your mail folders, all your mail and news accounts settings, and your address book for one Identity. You will lose all your subscribed newsgroups, all message rules, all Block Senders entries, all custom views and all custom toolbars. If you use multiple Identities, you must repeat this process for each Identity, or else use the Complete Backup for Advanced Users. Please read the Files & Settings section if you have not already done so. 1. Backup your OE mail and news accounts. Click Tools| Accounts, select the account to backup, then click the Export button. This will store the account's settings in a *.iaf file at the location you specify. You can later import any *.iaf file by clicking the Import button. Your account password is stored in encrypted form in the *.iaf file. Be sure to export all mail and news accounts, and any user-created LDAP accounts you might have created. The default LDAP accounts will always be created fresh when you install or upgrade OE. I then scrolled down to where it talks abouit.... "Backup your mail folders." I have printed these instructions and will try tomorrow to see if I can do it. Thanks, and again I apologize for not reading the entire page. "Bruce Hagen" wrote: I don't know where you read this.

Bruce,
I looked on the old computer today. Went into Outlook Express, Tools, Options and there is no maintenance or store folder. I clicked on the advanced tab and again, nothing that showed maintenance.

There is no Advanced Tab in Tools | Options. Did you choose Tools | Accounts in error? Tools | Options | Maintenance should show you this:
