From: "chad" 

that's outlook.  outlook express keeps everything in files with a .dbx
extension.  and every folder gets its own .dbx file too, unlike the much
tidier .pst files.  but then that's how i move my outlook express files
too, but i just move the whole lot of them instead of the single file.  i
also love the default placement of the .dbx files.  in 2000/xp systems,
it's something like the following:   %sysdrive%:\documents and
settings\%your
profile here%\local settings\application data\identities\%sid of your
NIC%/microsoft/outlook express

not exactly the sid of your NIC but something like that.  and then i just
move the folders by copying them to cd and then putting in some false
server info and attempting to access the email server, which creates the
folders, then replace them with the old folders, fix the server info and
go.  now that i write that out, it seems like there must be an easier way.
