I am moving emails from one computer to another. Old computer has Windows 2000, the new computer has windows xp. Both of these computers use Outlook Express 6. I have used outlook express to save all emails into .dbx files on the desktop. I made a copy of these files to a flash drive. I put the flash drive into the new computer and copied the files to the desktop. I attempted to import the .dbx files from the desktop using outlook express. I selected the option to attempt all folders. The SOB downloaded all the emails from the sent and deleted items, and only one from the inbox.dbx file. I have over 600 emails in this file making it over 70 mb. When I attempted to retrieve from only the inbox, it downloaded one of them only. I have tried using a few programs, however they do not recognize the .dbx file as having any emails in it. This is for a business and I really need to get these emails on this computer. When I pulled up the old computer, the emails were no longer in the inbox and when I attempted to retrieve, it did the same thing. I don't know what to do and I'm about to pull my hair out. someone please help!!!

Copy the dbx files into the path where they should be located, replacing the existing.
C:\Documents and Settings\UserId\Application Data\Identities then into your associated identity.
