Triumph of discovery

I have spent hours of frustration in the past - and I mean hours - trying to shift emails from Outlook Express, on my laptop, to Outlook, on my desktop.  

And now I have a bright idea.  Why don't I attach all the emails I recieved on my laptop to a new email, and send it to myself?  If I retrieve that email on my desktop, I should be able to save the attachments.

Well, it wasn't that simple. It was simpler.  Instead of saving the attached emails, I just drag'n'dropped them into the appropriate folders. 

Awesome.

Update: Of course, the other thing I could do is tick the wee box on my laptop that says 'Leave a copy of the email on the server'.  Hmmpppf.
