How to backup Outlook Express email folders and settings

[tanita_l]

I just got a new PC... ( was the time for it ). I need to move all my Outlook Express mail from the old pc to this new one.. Anyone can help? ( I know how to move folders, but I don't know how to copy signatures, rules, settings, and contacts )

Been a long time since I have fiddled with Outlook Express, but I use Outlook on three separate systems. Most of the files you need are stored in the Documents and Settings folder for your personal login, under the Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook folder AND under the Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook folder. Both of these may be hidden to your Explorer and you'll need to unhide them.

OR (if OE allows it) just Export everything under Outlook Express to a file and copy that file to your new PC.
