Having just changed laptops because of constant power faults with my last
one, is there any way I can retrieve the messages that were in OE6 from
the
original hard drive? I have a USB caddy and have used it to copy all my
documents across, but I really need the emails that were in the various
boxes
and folders, and the address book. Many thanks, Adrian.
