Re: Opening my email in outlook express

Tim,
I copied my Outlook Express dbx folder from my identities folder, burned it
to CD, took to one of my other computers, imported one of my mail folders and
can view the emails just fine on that PC. So, this defintely has something
to do with the MS security updates that I just installed on my 2KPro PC. I
just want to know how to view my emails like I used to! Have I mentioned how
frustrating this is? =(
