Storing all settings in the Store Location directory

Outlook Express is aimed at home users. The file & settings transfer wizard allows users to transfer addresses between computers. However, it is very difficult when changing computers to keep all your mail and newsgroups from your old computer.

The current ‘Files and settings transfer wizard’ is inadequate in transferring mail, news groups and setting between machines.

Suggestion: All settings be kept in the Store Location directory. This would make moving to another PC as easy as clicking on the “Store Folder” button.
