I have everything set up on the new machine except e-mail. I have the .dbx Outlook Express transfered to the new machine. How in the fargle to you get Outlook to recognize them. I tried to do an "Import From... Outlook Express or Live Mail" but it never gives me the opportunity to point to the folder where the files are.
Blinkety blank frassen gooble!

I assume you wound up using the "fish hook" method. But that should've taken about half a minute, not close to 3 hours!

Had to double-step both the messages and the address book... moving the files from one machine to the other, importing into Windows Mail (after downloading and installing it), then importing into Outlook.
Had I known all the details I could have done it in under twenty minutes. Getting those details is what took so long.
Oh well, it's working now. Unfortunately my client tracking software, being very old and cranky, has decided it will not play nice with Outlook. I'll have to manually enter the data. Hmph. It'll take a while, but I'll do some every day. I should have it finished in before Thanksgiving.
Hey, if that's the biggest headache I have to deal with after ten years, I count myself lucky! On the upside, the new machine is smokin' fast! Now I can take advantage of all the network upgrades, including the gigabit switches we just installed. Wowzers but stuff loads fast now!

Give it a few weeks and you'll get used to the new speed, and then you will be complaining about how slow it is. :D

Isn't that what you're supposed to do? =D
