[nfbcs] copying outlook express folders

[tribble]

Yes, but it's a pain.  You need to unhide system files and folders, then 
navigate into where the stuff is kept.  Actually, the full path to a folder 
can be found in the maintenance tab ov the options dialog in OE.  You can 
change this location, but be sure to grab the files beforehand.

If you want to move OE's database to a new machine, I suggest using E-Backup 
or a similar tool, as this would take care of saving and restoring not only 
the dbx (mail) files, but also will preserve the address book and settings 
and accounts.
All you need with E-Backup is to run a backup, save it on an external drive, 
plug the drive into the new computer, restore the files using E-Backup 
(which you need on both machines), and there you have it.
The only caveat is that this will not merge or sync your files -- if there 
is something of the same name there, it will get clobbered.
To merge files you should use the import option in the file menu of OE.

Listers:

Hope this finds you well.  Question, Using Outlook Express, is there a way 
to copy an outlook express folder so it can be moved to another machine?

Thank you
