how do I transfer Outlook email data and contacts etc.

S

Scott Y.

I saved all old data to disk in ..../outlook/archive.pst

Upgarded computer from Win98 to XP and I have not been able to import all
old data including folders to the new computer.

I can see all old "Sent" messages from years ago but no current data,
contacts, folders (with building and Owner emails) can I seem to restore...

Egads ! I have tried almost everything.

The archive.pst contains your old data that you removed during archiving.
You should have saved your outlook.pst file. Was the computer wiped
(formatted)? If yes, then your data is gone.
