Simplest approach would be as follows (assuming that you have not created
additional PST files and that you are going from O'2K3 to O'2K3 - if your destination machine is an earlier version of Outlook - this won't work if the original PST file was created in the O'2K3 format): #1 - Find the location of your current PST file (right click on it -- properties -- Advanced) #2 - Close Outlook - copy this file to whereever #3 - Install Outlook on your new machine as normal creating whatever email accounts you need #4 - Copy the PST file from step #2 to the new machine (if you copied this to a CD/DVD - make sure you you reset the file attributes to clear the "Read Only setting" #5 - Open this PST file and change your profile to make it the default destination for new email - this makes everything inside it the default #6 - Close the PST file that Outlook created initially on the new install - you don't need it The above will copy only your folder info but does NOT include any settings such as filters, categories etc. If you have created additional PST files - copy and open them on the new machine as outlined above. Your done.
