Retrieving OE data from old hard drive

[pappasplace]

I installed an old HD as a slave on a new computer. I want to retrieve the messages from the old drive. What steps do I need to take to import them into the OE program on the new HD?

search the old harddrive for a file called "inbox.dbx". Or, if you kept the messages in their own folders, try "*.dbx". This is assuming you had IE5.0 or newer on the old hard drive.

Once you've found where they are, open up your current version of outlook express, go to File, import, messages, then select OE6. Choose the "import mail from an OE6 store directory" option, then use the browse button to locate where the *.dbx files were located. Once you have that, it should import all your messages.
