exporting - importing

[Cliff Mullinger]

Have installed a new hard drive, and intsalled XP Pro onto it. I will want
to export all my Contacts - Emails - and other folders etc to the new
system, is there any way I can achieve this in one go, rather than by each
element i.e. Inbox - Drafts - etc. I know that I can do each folder one at
a time, and can write them to a CD, then import them onto the new system. At
the moment my system can be booted from either the old disk or new disk, I
just simply unplug the power lead from the disk I don't want to boot from,
any tips would be appreciated.

No need to import/export. Simply copy your .pst file from the old drive and
create a new mail profile on the new drive and configure it to use your old
..pst file.
