Use export in the "import/export" function under the "File" menu and
export
your Personal Folder to a file "xxx.pst" on old computer. Then copy that
file to your new computer and use the import function in "import/export"
and
import that file into your personal folder on new computer. Make sure you
are in your "personal folders" on new computer when importing

Can someone please help. I've be trying without success to move my PST
files
from one PC to another but without success. I've managed to save and get
the
"INBOX" onto the new PC but I am unable to get the Sent Items, or the
Address
Book over to the new PC.
I've copies the PST file to a CD when I try to copy it's contents to the
new
PC I am asked for a password. I haven't the slightest idea what password
Microsoft Outlook is looking for. I've tried everything and every
password I
have ever had - still can't move my PST files to the New PC.
I would appreciate any help from anyone. Have gone through the Microsoft
help and despite hours of reading I still have a new PC without a single
email on it and no idea what I should do next............apart from go
mad.
Many thanks in anticipation for help that will help me over this problem.
