In OE, go to Tools > Options. Click on the Maintnance tab.
Click on the "Store Folder ..." button. That will tell you where all your folders, Inbox, and everything else, live. You can copy all of the files in that folder to a CD or otherwise get them to the new PC. Then, change the Store Folder on the new PC by going to Tools> Options, Maintenance tab, and click on the "Store Folder ..." button and then on the "Change ..." button. As far as the address book, I've never exported and re-imported that, but it looks like exporting to text (comma separated valus) is a safe bet, then File > Import > Other Address Book ... And pick the Text (comma separated valus).

I've never been able to successfully complete an "export" etc. and am not sure what I'm missing, or if there is a better way. I want to save all my emails (that I've weeded out and need to hang on to) but there are too many to save indiviudually to some easy to find place on my machine to burn to a cd. I also want to save all my "contacts" as well, and that is what I've messed up trying to do the export/import thing. I'm using Outlook Express on XPhome , and it seems impossible to find the "folder" that contains all this stuff so I can burn it to a cd. I just don't know what I'm doing - any tips?
