Outlook Express address book and emails

[davecalv]

Have just bought a new PC
Have old PC's hard disk as slave in new machine
Is it possible to import old machine's Outlook Express address book and emails from slave drive onto new C drive to use with new OE.
Cannot set slave drive to master as it will not boot.

Yes it is possible and in fact, the best way to do what you want. First find the old mail store location and the address book location using windows search function on the slave drive. Search for *.dbx to find the mail and *.wab to find the address book. These will be hidden folders, so be sure to include hidden files & folders in your search option.

Then when you know where they are, just use the import function within OE and browse to the appropriate folders.
