Hi, Steve,
Sorry, I didnt sign the last message. I don't know if you
are supposed to are not. I'm new to all this.
Thanks again for trying to help me.
Here is what I wrote:
Hi, Steve,
Again, thanks for your help. But I think all this delete
registry stuff is a little to complicated for me.
There is no way to move over emails except for resend them
all to myself. But then they will all have my email
address instead of the senders.
I can't believe that I am the first person who ever bought
a computer and would like emails from the old computer but
maybe I am, or maybe Mr. Gates doesn't have to worry about
these things, since he probably has someone who will
resend all his emails for him. But it seems like I am
done for.
Thanks for trying though.
Take care,
Stephen
