This is not necessary when I use email on a computer connected to my COMCAST-provided cable modem Internet connection at my home in Bellevue. After some research of my own, I came to understand that it was necessary to ADDITIONALLY check the box “My server requires authentication” for the Outgoing Mail Server and further specify for Logon Information “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”. Note5: Sending email repeatedly produced an error message “… authentication required …”. The “newly created inbox” started receiving “new emails” on location in Vienna – through a different ISP – without any problems.

Note4: The existing inbox with several read and several unread emails was imported correctly. (7) I decided to work – while in Vienna – with only a subset of the original Outlook Express folders and check with you upon my return to Seattle in September. “Fields, Michael.dbx” was indeed in the specified location, yet it did not get imported. (5) When done, I immediately noticed that the subfolders named CCC, DDD, FFF, PPP, … ZZZ (with all their further nested subfolders) failed to appear in Outlook Express on NBK1. (4) I then followed exactly the “importing steps” described by you – which I printed in August and took along with me to Vienna. (3) In Vienna, I configured the email account first to make sure “email works”.

(2) In Vienna, I copied those same ALL existing Outlook Express folders from the IOMEGA 40 GB portable HDD to NBK1, My Documents/OUTLOOK EXPRESS/Outlook Express PC1 subfolder verified all files copied OK. (1) In Bellevue, I copied ALL existing Outlook Express folders (some 150 folders, 234 MB total) from PC1 to an IOMEGA 40 GB portable HDD.

Note3: I screen-captured each single step in a Powerpoint file – I know exactly what I did. Note2: I needed to make this “email transfer” from PC1 to NBK1 because I wanted to use my email away from Bellevue, in Vienna. Note1: At home in Bellevue, my ISP is COMCAST. Result: Outlook Express on NBK1 imported only a subset of ALL existing Outlook Express folders. Goal: Move ALL existing Outlook Express folders from PC1 (desktop) to NBK1 (Lenovo T60). Which will open a dialog box asking what you want to Import from – choose Outlook Express X depending on which version it is and then you can either Browse (OE4) or Import from Outlook Express Store Directory (OE5-6) – either of which you point at your copied data. In Outlook Express Click on the File menu->Import->Messages

Open Outlook express on the new PC and set up your email account in it (or it won’t let you do the next step).Ĥ. The rest of the path: Local SettingsApplication DataIdentitiesMicrosoftOutlook Expressģ.

(3) If I do a ‘manual search’ (Start, All Programs, Acessories, Windows Explorer) I can only find up to “C:Documents and SettingsOwner. (2) If I REPLACE new with old, will I lose my new messages? (1) If I REPLACE new with old, will it then work? Hint! When dragging the files, I DID NOT REPLACE: ‘Folders’, ‘Inbox’, ‘Outbox’, ‘Drafts’, ‘Deleted’, ‘Sent’, ‘Offline’, or ‘Pop3uidll’, dbx files. BUT!!! when I open OE, only the old files are there! Problem: Now, when I run search for new identity, open it, all the files are there. (4) Opened current identity in a window, next to the old identity file on desktop in another window. (3) Ran search for current identity in XP. Based on what I read here: (1) Copied OE98 files to disk. Hi! Tried to move OE6 on Win98SE to OE6 WinXP. File, Import, Address Book…, select the address book we exported above, and import.įinally, you’ll want to configure your email accounts in Outlook Express to access your email account from your ISP.

The process for the address book is similar – even simpler. Note: if you’ve copied your mail folders to a CD-R, you’ll need to first copy them to your local hard disk, and then unmark them from being read-only before you import. Import, and your messages should now be transferred. Now on the next screen, browse to the location that you’ve placed the message store we saved from your old machine. Select Import mail from an OE6 store directory and press Next. Choose Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and press Next. Again, you can copy it to floppy, CD-ROM, or to a share on your network.įire up Outlook Express on the new machine, and we’ll just reverse the process. You can now select a location and filename for your address book to be placed. In the address book, select File, Export, and click on Address Book (WAB)…. Open up the address book either from the accessories menu item on your Start menu, or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+B in Outlook Express. The address book we handle a little differently.
