I am trying to get my OE msgs to show up in XPP, my new machine. I found the "inbox.dbx" files in the 98se machine and trasfereed the inbox to the new XPP location (I first trashed the existing new inbox on the XPP machine) Now the new inbox gets the new emails, but it does not display the old ones - I know they're there because this inbox is the same size (375kb) as the old 98se inbox. What'sup. Same with the "sent.dbx" files Thank you in advance, MW
