Didn't get around to responding to this earlier but noticed that someone else had offered a solution. However, there is an alternative for those who have lots of email folders (like me) and would prefer not to have to move them all. 1. Place the cursor over the folder desired to be moved and right-click the mouse. 2. Select <Properties> in the resulting winlet, place the cursor over the path, click, and shift the cursor to the right end of the path using the right arrow key. Note the entire path. 3. Go to Windows Explorer and follow the path through the correspondingly named folders until you find the same named dot dbx file. 4. Copy this file to a transportable media. 5. Construct a similar set of email folders on the destination computer. Using <Properties>, note this path. 6. Using Explorer, copy the .dbx file into the end folder of the path noted in item 5. Obviously, one can copy more than a single .dbx file at a time but note keeping is appropriate during the transition. Personally, I connect my two computer (desktop and laptop) by Ethernet and move the files via that connection. Entire folders may be moved using this method with Explorer as long as they are designated as Shared resources. Before Ethernet, I used a cassette disk to move several .dbx files at a time. Hope this offers insight for some with similar circumstances.
