I just got a new PC... ( was the time for it ). I need to move all my Outlook Express mail from the old pc to this new one.. Anyone can help? ( I know how to move folders, but I don't know how to copy signatures, rules, settings, and contacts )
:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm no expert, but if it were me, I think I'd save them to disk/CD and then re-install on the new computer. The rules and settings, etc. in Outlook may have be re-done manually. But like I said, I'm no expert. :)

When I got my new 'puter, I just left the old emails on it. I've needed to go back to them only once or twice.

Good luck!

Thank you for your suggestions. I also found Outlook Express Backup Genie, which does the job right and fast. I will try them out more and then buy one!
If you have any suggestions please let me know... :jester:

Why? Was it inappropriate? I never opened it.

Let's just say it was a very sneaky way of spamming. :rolleyes:
