2 Personal Folders etc

M

I am transferring Outlook 2003 to a new computer. I have Opened the 'old'
..pst file as an Outlook Data File on the new computer and it has worked.

However I now have two sets of personal folders etc. So when I receive a new
email it goes into the in box that exists in the new Outlook and not the one
I transferred. Same with Contacts and when I write a new email it does not
find my 'old' contacts file.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Mike

Use the Tools->E-mail Accounts and select "View or change exisiting e-mail
accounts", then select Next
At the bottom of the this dialog will be a "Deliver new e-mail to the
following location" and should include both of your PST files. Select the
'old' PST (the one that is not selected if have the same name).
OK the prompt about changing default delivery, since this is what you want
to do.
Restart Outlook and your "old" PST will now be moved to the top and you
could remove the "new" PST if you want.

How do you combine the old and new .pst file into complete new file that
shows all the old and new emails and contacts?

Click to expand...

Drag-and-drop works for me.
