Outlook File Transfer Problems

[babrady]

Hi There,

I have just bought a new PC, and i need to transfer my Emails from the old computer to the New computer. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Both PC's are NOT networked, is this the problem, or can i save them to a disk to transfer.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Go in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft and copy the folder named Outlook from the old pc into the same location onto the new pc (that's if you`re using Windows XP).

Thanks Nitroshift, that worked great.

One more question if you don't mind. I was trying to send an email and when i select the "Send To" icon it brings up the address book. None of the emails i have in the contacts section of outlook are showing in the address book. I was previously using MS Outlook 2002, and now have MS Outlook 2003. Do i need to link the two ?? If so would you kindly please advise.

Thanks again for your help

Do any contacts show in the Contacts pane in Outlook in the new pc?

[babrady]

Yes all my required contacts and their email addresses are in the contacts pane of outlook, but when i click "send to"in the new email it puts up an error message ""The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook address book, see Microsoft office outlook help." I looked in the help menu, but couldn't see anything. Thanks again

Copy the folder named Outlook from C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft from the old pc into the new one. Hope this will do the trick.
