You don't copy/paste anything, anywhere.
Will your new computer be running WinXP or Win7? (You implied WinXP in your first post.)

Are you at all familiar with OEFB, Ron?
Ron Sommer wrote: Running OE on a new machine will not install the accounts for email to download, so there will not be any new messages. It shouldn't matter if you have run OE yet or not, *except* any new mail would be lost. So if that is your concern, then yes, do wait to run OE. snip |

I am not familiar with OEFB, so I did not comment on it.
OE can be run to read eml or nws files and read newsgroups with having an email account installed. -- Ron Sommer MS MVP- Windows Live Mail "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Somehow I have messed up OE on the New pc.
At first, it did not open an Address Book. Upon clicking on Address Book it would say, "Unable to open Address Book. The Address Book may not be installed properly." Secondly, I cannot send a response or a new message. It says, "There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred." Apparently I need to reinstall it, but I can't even find it via Control Panel/Add Remove Programs! Jack |

I cannot believe what just happened this morning.
My ENTIRE address book with 13 folders and 6 groups is suddenly my address book!!!!! This happened with me changing anything the past several days with the exception of bringing in some "lost" emails from the Old pc. This is a miracle!?!?!?!!!!!! Jack |
