New Computer .. how do I transfer my old mail?

[hrbsh97]

Hello,

Just purchased a new laptop and would like to have all my old mail from my
old laptop on it. Can someone give me the procedure for the simplest way to
do it? I would like all folders (sent, received, etc.)

I appreciate the advice for all the Microsoft experts out here!! .. ..

Milly,

The link is very helpful but I am unable to locate a "Local Settings" file
... I right click on Explorer .. go to Documents & Settings .. then my name ..
but do not see a "Local Settings" .. I did go in to Outlook and look to see
where the folders are defaulting .. but can only see part of it .. I will
copy & paste below .. any more suggestions on how to locate it? ..

C:\Documents and Settings\Brenda\...\Outlook\Outlook.pst

Many thanks to all who respond,

Brenda
