Importing messages to winXP from win 95 inbox.mbx

I have messages in inbox.mbx from a CD copied from an old win 95 computer
which I want to import to Win XP OE. Tried OE import, no go! The .mbx file
type must be the problem. Is there a work around ? The old win95 machine is
not available, just the CD with OE files - inbox, outbox sent items etc.

Post this to a more appropriate newsgroup, like Windows. This is a .Net
Programming newsgroup.

Hi, I did that and got some help which worked. However, in view of your
comment, I see plenty of other posts here on the same subject, which is why I
posted here !

Yes, and every single one of them has a response that tells them this is
the wrong newsgroup. We're getting a lot of these suddenly. Can you tell me
why people are posting to a newsgroup called
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l?

Thanks,
Robin S.

It's not the end of the world. But can you tell me why you thought this was
the right newsgroup? Did it not show the newsgroup name, or were you
guessing?

Thanks,

Can anybody help with the following: I have some old VB6 code that loops through my inbox looking for emails with attachments and then save them to the hard drive. The code is very simplistic so I thought it would be dead easy to migrate it to C#, however it is proving more difficult than I first thought. The VB code is as follows: Set oSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session") oSession.Logon("Outlook", , False)

This is what i have so far: use Mail::Box::Manager; my $mgr = new Mail::Box::Manager; my $folder = $mgr -> folder => 'Inbox'; my $messages = $folder->messages;

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
