Just got a new Dell Dimensions 2400 and want to copy my Outlook Express Address Book and other files from the "old computer" to the "new one".  Any ideas??????????

Bugsy01,

Copy the *.wab file to removable media. On the new computer open OE and go to File|Import|Address Book and browse to the location of the file on the removable media.

For messages, copy the entire folder containing your *.dbx files to removable media. It is important that the entire folder be copied, because if folders.dbx is not present, you will not be able to import the messages. In OE on the new system go to File|Import|Messages|Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and browse to the location of your *.dbx message folder.
