Hi:
There are two PCs in my family rooms.
I want to transfer some of e-mails from one computer
to another computer.

Both PCs has XP Home Edition with almost identical features
and programs loaded.

If capable, how to accomplish on e-mails transfer?

Thanks any help,

Do not send email

Is has been a long time since someone posted with an unpatched version of
OE.
You need to go to Windows Update.

Hi:
Thanks both for the responses.

Wonder whether there is a device, like USB hooked up
could the job, transfer one PC to another?

Because, in the past I did try by using the site you offerring,
however I couldn't finish it.

I'm looking for some 'good' device that able to connect two
PCs for transfer e-mails.

Thanks,

This is how I do it within Outlook Express (OE):
-in the first PC OE 'Local Folders' make a new folder called say
"PCtransfer"
-in the second PC OE 'Local Folders' make a new folder called say
"PCtransfer"
-in the first PC OE move or copy the emails that you wish to transfer into
this folder.
-shut down OE in both PCs
-in the first PC find the file "PCtransfer.dbx" using My Computer and copy
it.
-in the second PC find the file "PCtransfer.dbx" using My Computer and
replace it with the "PCtransfer.dbx" from the first PC.
-open the second PC OE and you will find the transferred emails in the
"PCtransfer" folder.
-move them to the inbox or wherever and you will have achieved your aim.

Two minor additions:
After making a new folder, open the new folder before closing OE.
Make sure the transferred file is not read only.

It would be cheaper to buy a USB flash drive than a USB transfer cable.

OK, I'll bite. I think I know how you picked up on unpatched OE but how did
you catch the OS?

The message headers for one, but the fact that Violet said:

<QP>
Both PCs has XP Home Edition with almost identical features and programs
loaded.
</QP>

Well, that kinda gave it away. <wink>
