My friend recently upgraded his computer from Windows ME to Windows XP pro. After looking at their new setup, I chortled as the computer shop must have run some sort of 'upgrade', as McAfee etc are all reporting errors due to a recently upgraded O/S.
The XP package is a proper 'full' version as opposed to an upgrade, so I assume the shop just ran the install through windows and upgraded. On a side note, it is an 'educator' edition, which is odd as neither of his parents are educators..
Anyway, the other shambles was the fact that only 1 user was installed for the whole family to work from, with outlook express being configured for 3 POP3 accounts, all flying in to the same inbox. Doh.
So, last night, we setup up a new user for each of his family and confiured outlook express accordingly. The point at which I became confused was, how would we import saved mails from different folders, from original user x to new user Y's account? Is this possible? We were a little short on time, so I didn't get to have a proper tinker. Is it easily do-able through the import option?
Also, they don't really have anything much saved on it as the upgrade was done a couple of weeks ago.
I am suggesting a proper install of XP, followed by the correct setting up for the family use. Yes?
Cheers for any help.
