Re: OE message backup/move

Similar to what Bob mentioned on the '1:56 pm' message;

Once when I couldn't export the messages when reformatting a Win98 machine,
the only alternarive seemed to be (and worked) was;
-copy the whole folder of messages from O.E. It has the long folder name of
mostly numbers.
-paste it into the appropriate folder in the new directory.
-In O.E. go to Tools/ Options/ Maintenance/ StoreFolder/ and change to the
new folder name here.

Hope this can help. It's along time since I did this. Hopefully I have
remember all steps.
