How to transfer Outlook Express settings, emails and Address Book from one computer to another?

Dear friends:

How to transfer Outlook Express settings, emails and Address Book from
one computer to another?

My daughter renewed her computer and she wants to transfer Outlook
Express' Address Book, settings, emails, etc. from her old computer to
the new one. Is there, for Outlook Express, the equivalent to the
"PST" files of Outlook where all this stuff is stored? And where it is
located?


Thanks

The address book is a .wab file with the user's name (ron.wab). Emails are
contained in .dbx files (hold.dbx). On the OE toolbar, File--check out
Import and Export.

Sure, and if you ask in a group with OE in the title you would likely
get relevant help. Notice THIS group lacks that.

Ask elsewhere

Juan, you might try microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general for
help on this matter. Disregard the crabby replies on this site
as some posters think they "own" the ****ed thing.
