Oh gawd Ann, Ive got a similar thread running on General about saving all my Outlook Express messages - have you got your Talk Talk modem there aswell? Dont think saving favourites is a prob as they are all on I.E. arent they? So that will all stay just the same? I was just worried about the fact talk talk will change my username and password for O.E. and whether they would just disapper.

No, Elaine and Steve are saying on that thread - jump over to general - that you can save your messages and your address book to your documents and then import them to your new ISP.

There is a folder on your PC if you want to transfer it from one ot the other. It will be on your C drive. If you have XP, it will be under Documents & Settings/ Your Name / Favorites You can copy that folder onto a removeable drive (floppy, CD etc) and put it in the same place on the other PC. You can also use the Import/Export function on IE... Click File -> Import and Export then follow the wizard You can then import it using the same method. Just make sure you save them to a removeable drive too.

Thanks Orange, Ive done the best I can BUT looks like fears unfounded. I got into a bit of a flap changing the service provider for O.E. so I rang talk talk (thought to myself, half an hour wait now) BUT a chap answered in a minute - lovely chap and I could understand his accent! Well, he talked me through changing my O.E. from wanadoo to talktalk in a couple of minutes and I said to him I dont think its worked, all my old emails are still here. And he said, 'So they should be'! Well, I was so worried about changing to talktalk - its £20 cheaper a month for me and includes all national and a lot of international calls, but if their service stays this good - please gawd!
