Moving your email in Outlook Express

Today, my friend ask me about how to move his email in Outlook Express from one computer to another computer (or if you format your harddisk and you want all of the email in Outlook Express are all in there). This trick I found when I'm in high school and have many time to search for Windows behaviour (now much time spend to make money :D). The trick is very simple, first copy your data in Outlook Express that located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

And you can look that your data are in file with .dbx extention. Each folder in Outlook Express has it own .dbx file. Then copy that all files (if you want all), and do this step:
  1. Create the same structure of folder name that you had in previous Outlook Express (be carefull, it's case sensitive, I think)
  2. Close your Outlook Express program
  3. Overwrite all .dbx file that you copy into the new Outlook Express data folder (it has the same format with the one that you copy .dbx file from)
Then you can open back your Outlook Express and everthing is in there :D
Have a nice day....
