moving e-mail messages from one pc to another?
Discussion
Help... I've bought a new lap-top for home and want to transfer my e-mail messages from the old one to the new one in the same folder structure. I've managed to move (export/import) the address book no problem but try as I may I can't seem to understand how to do the actual messages. Help says something about .dbx files but I can't find them anywhere! 
Help! p.s. I'm using Outlook Express. Thanks Rich...
Help! p.s. I'm using Outlook Express. Thanks Rich...From another site I just googled for you,
"On the old machine, the easiest way to locate Outlook Express' email store is to ask Outlook Express. Fire it up, and then in Tools, Options, on the Maintenance tab there's a button labeled Store Folder. Click that, and it will tell you the folder containing your email folder.
Copy the entire contents of that directory to a floppy, CD-ROM or share on your network."
