On your OS 8.6 partition is a folder named "Microsoft User Data", and it is commonly found in the "Documents" folder. That "Microsoft User Data" folder contains all your messages and mail configurations for Outlook Express. Copy that folder to the Documents folder of your OS 9 partition. Before you do though, remove the "Microsoft User Data" folder on your OS 9 partition from the Documents folder and set it aside. Once you're sure that you've got OE working right again, you can trash that "Microsoft User Data" folder that you set aside. If you switch back & forth and use both OS 8.6 & OS 9, you could place an alias of the "Microsoft User Data" folder in the Documents folder of one partition. That way, no matter which System you use, the Outlook Express messages will remain the same between both Systems. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
