Transfering from OE

The video driver in my old laptop running XP died. I have a new laptop with
Vista. I have taken the hard drive from my old lap top and have made an
external drive from it. Vista recognizes the drive but I cannot find how to
open OE on the old drive to transfer archive messages into Windows
Mail.........HELP!

Re: Transfering from OE

There is a folder with a bunch of ".dbx" files in it. I long since copied
mine to My Documents\mail to make it easier to find. Perhaps you could find
it with Search on the old hard disk. Once you find the ".dbx" folder it is
a simple matter of File, Import, Messages..., Microsoft Outlook Express
Version 6.
