I am using Outlook Express 5.0 and running Windows 95. I am getting a new
computer and I want to have some of messages in my new Outlook. I only have
a floppy drive on my old machine. I need to know how to save my messages to
get them in my new machine.

You will have to put them into Outlook Express on the new computer (see
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/index.htm) and then import them into Outlook.

Also, you may use ABF Outlook Express Backup to transfer your messages to
new PC.
Just backup your emails on the old PC, copy backup file (*.oeb) to new
computer and restore your messages to new Outlook Express.
Trial version of the program allows you to backup and restore emails for
free.
See http://www.abf-soft.com/outlook-express-backup.shtml

But most people who come to the OE newsgroups are looking for correct
answers. If they take yours and search for IBX, then they are not going to
find anything? So yes, ONE letter in this case does matter. And you have
indicated IBX in more than one posting. It's not even as if the I is near
the D on the keyboard?
