I just got a new pc and I connected to it my old hard drive from my old pc.
I could only import my old address book, but I could not find old messeges/emails.
Could anybody help?
How could I import it from the the old hard drive?

Thanks,
Ben

Can you find the folder where the old DBX files are located? If so, open
Outlook Express and use its menu, File/Import/Messages, selecting OE6 and
From A Message Store and point to the folder on the other drive containing
the DBX files. See this link for more:
