Re: Access CD of emails from old computer

Try this; start OE, on the local folders tree on the left, right click and make a new folder, call the new folder Canada, then do it again calling the next one Trees. click on each of the new folders, to make them register, then close down OE.

Next (make sure you can see the hidden folders and file extensions) open C:/documents and settings/[username]/Local Settings/Application Data/Identities/[folder with loads of numbers and letters]/Microsoft/outlook express.

Here you should see files called inbox.dbx, outbox.dbx, canada.dbx, trees.dbx.
now drag and drop the Canada.dbx and the Trees.dbx, from your CD into the Outlook Express folder you just opened (make sure you click yes when told about overwriting existing files). close everything down then open your email again.
If PC World saved your emails properly then they should be in the folders you created earlier (Canada and Trees).
