> I would like to save a users Outlook Express mail, then reformat his

> I have tried 'Export', but that didn't appear to do anything... I expected

> even specify where the file should go.
>
> I copied one of the .dbx mail files to another machine, and was
> unsuccessful in reading it with Outlook Express on the target machine.
>
> The user's Outlook Express .dbx files are on a FAT drive on Windows NT4.0,
> and I will be moving them to a NTFS drive on Windows 2000.

> Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
