I asked a while ago about backing up and copying Outlook Express E-mails from one version of the program to the other, as I was putting in a new Hard Drive.

I've got all the files from Outlook Express saved on CD, the one with all my E-mails in which I would like to keep in the new Outlook Express, when I install it.

I've had real problems with my machine latley (Bloody do-it-yourself ADSL) and when I tried before, copying the saved Outlook files (.dbx files I think) from the CD to the specified folder on the new Hard Drive, Outlook wouldn't work. So, when I do it again, how should I go about importing these .dbx files correctly into Outlook Express???

I'm very thankful in advance for any help :o)

But its not like its all sensitive data ... just my E-mails.

That option would be disabled on a Network, thats for sure.

Incidentally this also bypasses any attempts to protect your messages from prying eyes. It's sooo easy to import someone's inbox no matter how passworded up it is. Once again Microsoft proves it is incapable of building security into any of its programs.

You should be able to use File > Import > Messages and then choose the Outlook version the messages came from.
