NGs, and address list.
I managed to get address list onto new PC plus old emails. However I have
lost them on the old PC which I am still using til everything transferred
over. When I say lost there are icons all over my desktop which appear to
relate to the missing ones. Question though how do I get them back into
outlook express. I have also noticed that everytime I use OE I get another
icon appearing on my desktop.
Please I need step by step.
thanks

Juco
put a load in a folder. In this folder there are lots of DBX files I know by
the name they refer to my email folders, which is missing from my OE. My
logic seems to think I exported from wherever they are normally located and
have ended up on my desktop and now when I use email etc it puts a new icon
there. Can I get these DBX files back to there proper location? and will
thos stop icons appearing on my desktop?
thanks
(I have made a right mess of this...me thinks)

Try File/Import Export and point it to that folder and see what happens.
Make sure that folders.dbx is in there cause if it isn't, you're SOL.

Me thinks you're right. Once you get it sorted out, download, install and
use this:
http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx
It's free and if you back up frequently and save the back up to another
drive or CD, all you have to do is click on Complete Restore and it will put
all your OE stuff back exactly the way it was when you last backed up.

Also, be sure to keep the generic folders like Inbox and Sent Items empty
and create folders for storage as sub folders to Local Folders.
