Switching Computers and Keeping Your Mail

Question: I have been trying to find a way to transfer my existing OE email from this old P2$233Mhz to a nice fresh AthlonXP 2400+ I just finished building…and have met with little success and loads of reinstalls. (Cheat-mode reinstalls….Ghost is a very worthy toy 😉

Problem is that I NEED those old emails to move to the new system with me….any ideas that DEFINITELY work?

Motherboards are different, so I can’t just do a Ghost restore, although if I know EVERYTHING that needed to be moved, and in what order, I might be able to do a partial restore with ghost….for now, it’s right bloody annoying….
