hello Donnie; here's some steps which I hope you can use.
How to export Outlook Express Inbox from Windows XP to Windows 7? The first thing you need to do is export your Inbox from Windows XP to an external drive or a shared folder so that you can access it from Windows 7. To export the Inbox, open Outlook Express and select "Tools" and then "Options". Enter on the "Maintenance" tab and then on the "Store Folder" location. This will open a small dialog box that will show you the exact location where your Inbox is stored. To copy the path, press Ctrl+a keys together to select the entire path. Then press Ctrl+c keys together to copy the path to clipboard. close the Outlook Express. Next enter on the Start menu and select the Run command. Paste the entire path that you copied earlier by pressing the Ctrl+v keys together and then press Enter. The folder containing your Outlook Express Inbox will open up in a new Explorer window. Copy the entire Outlook Express folder and save it on an external drive or shared folder. The next step is to move the Inbox to a Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 doesn't come with a default mail client but you can download Windows Live Mail for free from the Microsoft website. After installing Windows Live Mail, run it and enter on "File", "Import" and then "Messages". Follow the steps given in the Import Wizard. Just make sure that you select "Microsoft Outlook Express 6" as the program and specify the location where you saved your Inbox by clicking on the browse button. When you have completed the Import process, your Outlook Express messages would be displayed in the subfolders of Windows Live Mail. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2013 7:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Transferring Emails From An XP Machine To A Windows 7 Machine Donnie, I would listen to this guy as he is probably the foremost expert on what you are asking.
