backing up emails in outlook express
 

I'm just about to go and get a new pc today but I don't want to lose the emails that I already have in outlook express. Is there a way of saving these and importing them into outlook on the new pc? :wonder:

Thanks :)

Which version of outlook (help about) and which OS and version ?

Hi Dave

At present I'm using windows 2000 version 5.00.2195 service pack 4 and the version of outlook express is 6.00.2800.1123 (I think)

Paul

and do you know if you will be going to xp and a full version of outlook or express on xp ?

Dave.

Install Mozilla thunderbird ;) so so much simpler to backup your emails afterwards with a utility. Oh and a much better email client to boot :)

You star :luxhello: That worked a treat and now I have all of my emails on my new pc :notworthy Thank you :)

no probs :) - now you should also be able to locate the new files to backup em as well :)
