transfering outlook to another computer

[bilbo323]

I have outlook 2000 on two computers. Each had their own inbox and contacts.
I want to move the contacts from one computer and combine them with the
other computer. Can this be done? Also, want to do the same with inbox.

this took me a while to figure out.
save the contacts you wish to copy into another folder. that folder can
even be a subfolder of your original contacts.

then select your new folder w/ desired contacts and right click & choose the
Import & Export feature under the File menu. then choose export to a file.
then select the personal folder file type with the .PST extension. then
select the folder you want to export (the new file you created). then finish
the instructions & select where you want to export & save this info (e.g.
your desktop). then you may copy or email the saved file to the computer you
want to transfer data to. then open up that file from within outlook & save
the new contacts to your existing contacts.

Copy the PST on one computer to the other. Make sure it's not read-only,
and then open that PST in Outlook with File>Open>Personal Folders File.
COpy the items from the second PST's folders to the appropriate original
PST's folders. When done, right-click the second PST's root and choose
Close. All done.
