Yes, I know there are other ways to transfer Emails?

However you can try this! [I know it works!]

On the old computer desktop create two folders named - Inbox = and - Sent Items


On the old computer open up Outlook Express [To view the Outlook Express Boxes messages in Inbox/Sent/ETC]
Make the box page view to Smaller page view [Near = X = top RH corner] or otherwise travel to top page border on Outlook Express and pull down the page [double arrow to show desktop room to show the new folders to transfer the messages to within.


On the old computer’s Outlook Express = Select All = the messages in the Inbox' [or select only the ones required] and drag them to the newly formed Inbox folder on the desktop [Note! this process only copies the Emails and you will find they are still retained in the old computer’s boxes!!]


Repeat the same procedure for the Sent Items


Burn folders to a CD = or Copy to a Floppy [may have to do some at a time to fit on floppy]


To transfer the Emails into the new computer = open up Outlook Express = then from the saved Emails on the CD/Floppy= Drag the Saved messages into the new computer's Outlook Express = Inbox = and = Sent Items = boxes
