Hi Angela,
Are you talking about Outlook or Outlook Express? If Outlook, you want to scan your hard drive for all *.pst files. If you have been using Outlook for a while and have a lot of e-mails in your inbox, sent items, and other folders, the *.pst file is likely to be very large like over 100MB. My file is at about 300MB right now (lots of e-mails with attachments). So you copy this file to another hard drive or to a ZIP disk, etc. Then you want to do a File/Open operation on the file from the new copy of Outlook on your desitination PC.
If Outlook Express, it could get a little tricky. Whereas Outlook crams everything (mail files, newsgroups, calendar, contacts) into one *.pst file, Outlook Express has different files for each folder, contact info, etc. You need to find the directory where these files are stored and copy the contents of this folder over into the destination directory which should be the same target directory on the destination PC - otherwise the new Outlook Express won't be able to find it. And make sure you are using the same version of Outlook Express or the files probably won't be recognized (happened to me many times).
Hope it works. |
