I had retained a lot of emails in my OE Local Folders which I assumed would automatically transfer to the new drive along with everything else. This did not happen and what I have now is a heap of .dbx files which I cant open and when I try I get a dialog box that says 'No Preview available". Can someone help this 77 year old who has tried to run the gamut of getting a simple answer from microsoft? Joe --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
