Is it possible to copy the emails in folders for transfer to another
computer like you can with the address book? (win 98)


Yes, but you need to be more specific about what email
software you use? If you use Outlook Express it is easy and
will explain if that is what you use?

Sorry, yes I still OE but I am trying to transfer from win98 over to
vista which has windows mail (looks the same!) and no I can not network
could before vista but not now


Ahh! You've got me now. I think Vista uses something
different for email? To transfer OE mail between other
windows versions is easy. Hopefully someone else will
explain what is involved with Vista.

David,........a question.......What if Charlie installed donor hard drive as
a slave in the recipient machine. Then copied mails to an archive folder by
drag and drop. Would this be possible?

I don't know. I'm avoiding Vista like the plague. I'd heard
that Vista uses something different to OE so I don't even
know if the emails are in a compatible format for transfer.

Unfortunately I will have to buy a new computer with Vista
for software testing purposes (I'm a software developer).
However I will be installing Linux Ubuntu on it and
switching over all personal use to that. Microsoft are
already talking of dumping Vista in 2009 with Windows 7
I gather Vista has bombed and nobody wants it.

If all else fails, archive it then send it as an E-Mail attachment to yourself and recover it using the Vista M/C

Yep, W7 is being brought forward as quick as poss. Which will of course need
SP's within 3 months I didn't move to XP until well after SP2.

Vista uses what is now called Windows Mail. It has an import facility
for Outlook Express files. It seems straightforward enough.

Basically you copy the files across to the Vista machine and then import
them into Windows Mail.

OK, thanks everyone. I am now dare I say it a fan of vista! mine after
initial problems due to hardware works very well and is lot faster that
either the machine running 98 or xp, my only gripe is the networking
where it does not see a 98 machine at all. but all my older programes
have worked and I have not had to buy any other software
