Hello,

I just got a new PC... ( was the time for it ). I need to move all my Outlook Express mail from the old pc to this new one.. Anyone can help? ( I know how to move folders, but I don't know how to copy signatures, rules, settings, and contacts ).
 
The important thing to copy from the old system for use on the new one is the "Favorites" folder with the "links" folder contained inside. With XP there is one option that simplifies the entire headache by using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This makes a backup of all of your favorites, links, and IE-OE settings. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/293118
 
The MS article is still a good reference to hang onto there. If you are only planning a one time transfer see if you can download a shareware version. That will save a little cash if it works that way. Cost saving! But if you want something to have onhand for repeated use give it a try. In the meantime add the MS link into your favorites for the program to save that as well. :D
