    Moving Outlook Express to new computer

    I have now Vista on a new computer and I am in the process of setting up
    Outlook Express - Windows Mail - on the new machine. I have the address list
    transferred over OK but where do I find the file that contains all my folder
    messages so I can move them across?

    Thanks. Norm.

    You will have to 'export' them to a file in 'my docs' then 'import' from the
    file by a dongle or cable or disc or whathaveyou.
