    1. Re: Moving/copying messages from Outlook Express

    3. The files (mailboxes) you are looking for and want to move or copy are hidden away but not hard to find if you follow these steps: Go to Windows Explorer then double-click your way through these folders: Windows Application Data Microsoft Outlook Express Mail Instead of being named, the files are numbered. What I do is highlight everything in the Mail folder and then copy them to a folder on my Zip Disk called Mail. If I need to copy them back, I highlight everything in the Zip Mail folder and move or copy them back. There are two files for each mailbox: .idx and .mbx. If I go to windows Explorer and work my way down to Mail where the numbered files are, I can double-click on the .mbx files and they will come up into WordPerfect for Windows where I can see what is in them and determine which file is which. Write them down to keep track ot them. For instance, I know that Folder6.mbx is my "To Do" folder which I created. Maybe there is an easier way but this works for me. Patsy pkishler@greenapple.com
