You cannot import the account information, as that is stored in the registry, which is not easily accessible. So you need to search for *.dbx (the files are hidden) on the old drive and then when you find the directory of dbx files, then go to File | Import | Messages in OE and point to that directory. That will get the messages back, but you will have to set up the accounts anew.

The motherboard on my old PC has blown but the HDD is ok and can be hooked
up to another PC. I would like to import all my OE6 mail and accounts
settings from the recovered HDD onto OE6 on the other PC. Can anyone point
me at a link that documents that process please. All my searches so far
(which I admit have been hasty) are pointing at slightly different
processes.
Thanks for any help.
