How did you import the files on the XP PC?

As to the mail messages themselves, you can do the following:

1. Copy the *.dbx files from the W98 PC.
There will be 1 file for each folder visible inOE.
The default location in W98 with IE6 is
C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{string}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
There will be a unique string for each identity (user).

2. Use the import function of OE from the XP machine.
You will need to individually import each folder (.dbx file).

For the address book, you need to export it from the W98 PC, and import it on the XP PC.

In your former outlook express on win98se, click file and select the export option. The export wizard will guide you through the selection of items to be exported and will render a file in the required format. You may export the contents as comma separated values or as excel files. Once you have the files that are created on completion of the export process, take them to your new pc and new outlook express.

In your new outlook express, click FILE menu and select the import option (its listed as import/export). Select the file that was created in step 1 and follow the wizard to replicate the accounts in the new outlookk express.
