Hi there,
Can anyone help me to transfer all my current emails from outlook express (including attachments) in one go (got a new laptop and transferring from a PC)
Do i need to back up all of my email subfolders individually  ? or is there a special way to just do all the emails in the inbox/sent/etc.. (including attachements) and open t he re load onto new laptop
thanks heaps for your help in advance - Miss ren   :-/
