I am trying desperately to transfer my old Outlook express 6 files to a new
computer with outlook express 6. No success with professional advice given
to me. Is it possible to transfer the files, or am I better going to
Outlook. Please help. good advice on this topic seems hard to find. Thanks

You could try asking in an OE ng as this is an OL ng. They are entirely
different apps,

Hi Mary

You can do it, I copied all my emails (5 GB) all contacts, and all local
folders even internet connections passwords etc

You need a program called Genie Backup Pro 7.0 this will do it

email me for more info ...

I have been searching sites most of the day and this is the first glimmer of
hope I have that it can be done. I have worked most of yesterday with
professionals at a respected computer company (local) and each tech I spoke
with gave me a different direction and none of them worked. I do have all
the dbx files on a cd but don't know what to do with them. Import did not
work. What I *need* is some help with an answer that works. Care to guide
me? I was not able to locate any article on the website you directed me to
that covered moving the files from one computer to another. I appreciate any
guidance. Thanks

Copy the entire folder of .dbx files to your hard drive. Make sure that
folders.dbx is one of them. Open the folder. Select all the .dbx files
and right click/Properties/untick the Read Only box. Now try importing them.

checked. I opened outlook express on new computer, drop down import,
outlookexpress 6, then ??? oE6 store directory, browse, found file with all
..dbx files, select all folders, next, and message is import complete.
Messages not there....help if you can thanks
