Need HELP on transferring OE e-mails from a dead computer
Hope I'm posting in the right forum category here. Here's my problem and thanks to all who care to help. My computer that ran Vista crashed. I have bought a new computer running Windows 7. I had Outlook Express on the old computer....Live Mail on the new one. Having my old individual e-mails are very important to me...there are thousands of them received and sent over a period of a few years
A tech guy has taken my old hard drive out of my old tower and is extracting data from it, but says the OE files are going to be a problem and/or very time-consuming if he can even extract them at all.
Is he correct in what he's saying? If not, I would really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks to everyone in advance - the advice I've gotten here is fantastic and much appreciated by those of us who are clueless when it comes to tech.
Also, are OE e-mails compatible with Live Mail or would they go into a separate folder?
