Default Copying Mail Rules to a new identity

Working off of xp pro platform, I recently created a new identity owing to a
corruption issue in one of my previous identity's folders. Except for my
Mail Rules (of which I have about 300), all messages, address book, and
newsgroup rules were copied over successfully to my new identity.

Grateful if someone could advise how to copy my Mail Rules from my previous
identity to my new one.


Thanks!
JDW

If you find one, let us know. (We've only been doing this for 10 years or
so, JD.)

Default Copying Mail Rules to a new identity

If you *clone* an identity, just about everything is restored intact,
including your rules. You can do this using these instructions:

Backing up and Cloning your OE Identities:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/clone.htm

Or using this backup program and restoring the backup folder you create when
installing it:

This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what is
written in red. That is referring to a different program.

Outlook Express Quick Backup (OEQB):
http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx

The only problem is, if you put the exact same identity back, you are likely
to be putting the same corruption back.

If you still have access to your old identity, give it a shot. But if you
end up where you were, then my first reply is your only option.
