Outlook 2003: from XP to Vista--email profile did not come thru
My motherboard fried on my old XP computer so I bought a new Vista Home
Premium computer. I followed detailed steps I had read on previous posts which allowed all of my contacts, calendar and old emails to load successfully. I was even able to remove the "2nd" personal folder area (a tad anal, don't like to see 2 personal folders) so I'm very happy about that. But my email profile did not pull through and therefore I'm not receiving new emails. Do I need to set this up again myself? Why didn't it come through? I also had signatures. I was hoping not to loose email addresses that are remembered even though not stored in contact folders. Does the Outlook.pst not hold all settings? My contacts came through, my calendar (past & current) came through and my old email folders and their contents came through. Just surprised that the existing email profile didn't come through. Any thoughts or advise would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Linda

PST contains only your old data. When you set up a new profile, you must
create the accounts yourself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "LindasJewels" wrote in message ... My motherboard fried on my old XP computer so I bought a new Vista Home Premium computer.

Not sure I understand. I know the .pst contains old data...that's what I
wanted. Why didn't the profile come through? What do you mean create new accounts? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: PST contains only your old data.

Because the Profile is a registry entry on the old system.
As Russ states you need to add your mail accounts The autocomplete cache is contained in the 'username'.nk2 file on the old system "LindasJewels" wrote in message ... Not sure I understand.

Repeating: email account information is not contained in the PST file. You
must create your mail accounts yourself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "LindasJewels" wrote in message ... Not sure I understand. I know the .pst contains old data...that's what I wanted.
