I recently had a PC crash. In getting it repaired, I had the repair man move
the master HD to be a Slave HD and install a new Master HD. Nothing was
erased from the original HD. I want to transfer all my emails from the slave
drive to the master drive, but I can't find them. I found the address book
and it transfered okay. But where to I find the emails and what is the
extension they are under?
Please help.. Sandi

They're DBX files. Once you've located them, if they are in more than one
folder, open the folders to figure out which one has the real stuff and not
just a small handful of small files. Or import from each one in succession.

Do you need instructions for performing the Import operation?

Can I just copy or drag & drop from the slave HD into the proper folder on
the Master HD?
If not.. please explain how to import all the folders.
Thanks
