Well, first you post a question about your problem with as many details as you believe pertinent to an appropriate newsgroup. If you have a question about Outlook Express then the following link would be appropriate. You should be aware that CNet does not answer questions but through some clever bots, they merely forward your message to what they think is an appropriate newsgroup where it may or may not be answered.

Thank you very much to Tom, Frank, and the other MVP's IE/OE. You truly are MVP's!
I am working in a temporary systems librarian position where I have become the defacto network and email administrator, with little experience in this area other than a pretty good knowledge of computers and directory/file structures.
The library uses OE4 and 5. Several people have had problems and by browsing this newsgroup and reading KB articles at the Microsoft site, I have been able to solve many of them.
This morning I discovered Tom's excellent web site, and I think I will now be able to solve the remaining problems.
Thanks to all.
One remaining issue: two of the people who have had problems ended up with 3 different sets of in/out etc., boxes. This happened partly for unknown reasons and partly from my experiementing. They share a computer and use different profiles.
I have safely changed their store folder to the original one, imported, and got back the majority of their mail (after learning about Folders.nch from the newsgroup). Now I am not sure whether I can import from the other two store folders (all folder names are the same, but one set is from OE4 (ibx, mbx files), the other OE5. Will each import over-write what is already in their current Inbox (and other boxes) or will it add the messages?
The other idea I had was to use the Find feature to show them what is in these other inboxes, then have them forward the messages they want to keep to me. I would forward them back and hope they end up in the right Inbox!
OE4 cannot import from OE5 unless OE/OE5 has been installed and removed. OE5 can import from either. In fact, it usually picks up the OE4 messages when installed over OE4.
