copying personal folders to a new computer OUTlook express

[glchisum]

i am trying to move some e-mail folders to a new computer. outlook express 2000 running on WIN 98 asks for a password to allow the Message *.pst's can be copied to disk. is there a workaround??? i was able to back up the e-mail addresses to a floppy with no problems.

Outlook Express 2000 ???
It's Outlook 2000 OR Outlook Express !
I guess, since you metion PST's that it is Outlook 2000.
But, can you rephrase your question a little, I don't quite get what exaclty the problem is with the password you mention. _{If the answer is here, mark it, others can benefit from it too.

to re-phrase: i have outlook express *.pst files which have a password attached and no-one remembers the correct password. i have moved the message files on a different computer and they seem to work?

Outlook Express does not use PST files, so I do not know what you try to do. _{If the answer is here, mark it, others can benefit from it too. If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.
