re: importing OE\Windows 98 to new computer Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at 7:33 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6106 messages posted) If you are using Incredimal, you aren't storing your messages in the OE format. You really aren't using OE at all. Incredimail takes over as a seperate email client and imports/converts your messages, settings and setup into it's own proprietary format. You need to contact Incredimail's support (or look for online help) to see what you have to do to move your subscription to a new machine, and move your email stores and address book over to the new machine. It's not as easy as moving the OE mail and address book from one Windows install to another. That's why my wife quit using Incredimail several years ago. Trying to retrieve and restore it after a crash was all but impossible.. Unless you are actually using Incredimail AND using OE to keep your messages in two seperate email formats, you aren't storing email in OE's native format. If you are only using Incredimail to send and receive messages, you will only be able to use Incredimail's procedures for moving your subscription/program, email and address book to your new machine. You will need Incredimail's help to do that in my experience.
