Must be doing something wrong!

[hmmm]

My laptop has XP HE and OE6 too.

Some of my wifes emails are in OE6 (in laptop) and I want to move her emails to our desktop PC.

I opened "Documents and settings/my name/local settings/application data/identities/A LONG NUMBER/microsoft/outlook express/shelagh.dbx"

Copied and pasted "shelagh.dbx"(21.7 mb)into the same location in our desktop PC but they will not show when I open OE6.

What am I doing wrong please?

Thank you.

[hmmm]

Thank you for your reply Triple7's. I only want to move ONE folder which is "shelagh.dbx". Being bit of a novice I could not work it out how to achive that by reading your link. Obviously still missing something?

In OE->File Import and drill down to the .dbx file...

[hmmm]

Thank you for you reply Steve R Jones.
Do you mean "drill dowm" to dbx file in the laptop?
I have no network to do that.
Basicaly I have copied "shelagh.dbx" into a CD and dropped it down to desktop on my PC. And then moved it into above mentioned location (in my original question). But it is not working.

On the desktop->OE->File Import

The Import fuction will ask you what you want to import and where the file is located. Point it to shelagh.dbx ..

It's also going to ask you where you want to import it to. You'll need to create a folder inside OE for that location.
