How do I transfer all e-mail data to new computer?

[Miss Perspicacia Tick]

I use Outlook Express but the idea "should" be the same

I navigate (about 6 or so layers deep) to the Outlook Express
directory and then burn the entire directory to a backup CD-R

For me, the path is (long, will wrap) with the part after
\Identities\ being system generated by Outlook Express

C:\Documents and Settings\myIDhere\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{2C7A8CD0-78FA-427F-BF86-AE333A20DC52}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

Erm, no it isn't. OE and OL are totally different. OL does *NOT* store data
in the Identities folder. OL profiles are located in the %root%\Documents
and Settings\userid\local settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
folder.

Outlook Express is not a part of Office so your response will not assist the
OP.

Once the OP has the .pst file burned to CD, copy it from the CD to the hard
drive, remove the read-only property and use File->Open->Outlook Data file
from Outlook file menu.

[David Senior [MVP - Most Valuable Provocateur]]

I would make use of Uncle Bill's File & Settings Transfer Wizard and you access this as follows:

Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

This is fine if your old/current computer is already running XP. If not then you need to run this from the Windows XP CD (which you should get with your new PC) on your old PC and follow the instructions.

Then in the new machine, again use the same thing but this time select that "this is a new PC" or something similar to import the data.

If you don't get a CD with the new PC then you are wasting your money as a PC without the actual CDs {of all preloaded software} is useless!!!

I would always rely on Uncle Bill's programs as these must be working otherwise he can't make money!!

Hope this helps.
Micky {Mouse} Stevens [MS-MVP] is a lier and I wouldn't buy a second hand car from him!!

I am getting a new computer and I need to know how I can save all of my
e-mail data to a cd so that when I use my new computer my outlook will be
exactly the same as it was on my old computer. I want to have all of my
e-mails including deleted, sent, addresses, saved everything so that when I
open outlook I wont even notice I got a new computer. Is this possible?

--
I use non Microsoft products wherever possible which requires no activation.

I use Netscape 7.2 as my default browser which has everything I need for my work.

I believe in good Financial Management!! I do not believe in enriching rich jerks!
