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? -- David in Normandy.

(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? I'd like to know ... please Mary OK. First thing to do is create a "dummy" mail folder on the computer you want to transfer the folder to. To do this, run Outlook Express on the TARGET pc, then Click File New Folder Give it the name that you want the new folder to be called e.g. "Archive" (it can always be renamed later if needed). Then go into your inbox and COPY any email from there to your new folder. This step is important because it forces OE to create a new file for your new folder. Now close the OE program. This is important too. Next, run OE on the other PC. You need to know where it stores its email files/folders. So click: Tools Options Maintenance (tab) Store Folder By default the folder is in a ridiculous long path including an identity. Run Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder specified above. In there you will find several email files including inbox.dbx, sent items.dbx and possibly others. Copy the file you want to transfer to a memory stick etc and (importantly) rename the file to the name of the folder you created on the other computer e.g. "Archive". Leave the file extension unchanged at dbx (if it is visible). You need to find out where the target pc stores its emails in the same was as above Tools Options etc... Copy the new file (Archive.dbx) into that directory replacing the dummy copy of the file we created earlier. Job done. Start Outlook Express on the target machine and the new folder and all the emails in it will appear. If you get stuck feel free to ask here or by private email but remember to include the word FROG on the subject line to get past my spam filter. -- David in Normandy.

I suspect there may be other ways of transferring emails too, but I've never come across an alternative (yet). Personally I don't use the default folder location given in OE, I use one where all my data and other files are which means emails are automatically included in my backups. -- David in Normandy.

Indeed..with XP disappearing completely in June, I've just bought a spare CD for my next machine :) 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. -- David in Normandy.

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. 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. http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vi...ansfer-mail.ht ml -- Chris French |

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 -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Admittedly you will have to do this with each email you wish to save, however if you do this as you go, it will make filing easier. Your emails get saved as *.eml files in your chosen folder and you can open them any time if you are using OE. If you don't have a flash card you could probably WinZip the folder to your address on the web and then pick it up there for importing to a different computer. someone |

Not that I would in reality of course, because for my email client I'd just have to move a couple of files to transfer them all. -- Chris French |
