Guest R. McCarty Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Re: outlook express problem You can use the "File/Import -Messages" function. But before you do that you'd be well advised to backup/(Burn to Optical) all the .Dbx modules on your PC. "Playing" with a PC can be OK as a learning experience IF you have the machine Imaged. Innocent changes can sometimes leave the machine in a non-working condition or result in loss of personal data.
