Ton Maas:

thanks for this information, I had been unable to find he mail file in the
explorer.
1. I zipped up the mail file and put in on a zip disk.
2. I next moved this file to my new computer and unzipped it.
3. I am unable to send the attachment to a message. when I try, the name of
the attached file blanks out and Outlook Express hangs up.
4. The files seem to be *.idx and *.mbx

Question:  What do I do next to get these files into Outlook Express?
                 Would it be simpler to bring these files into Microsoft
Outlook and then to Outlook Express.
