I am sure this is simple but I need some help. I am trying to move everything
from one computer to another. The contacts, the inbox, the folders, the items
still in the trash. Everything. How do I do this?

Howdy,

No expert I, but...

All the stuff you want to move is in one file called a PST.

Your present Outlook setup "points" to that file so that it
can find all the data.

Copy that PST file to the other system and launch Outlook on
that second system.

Finally, you will have to point that second copy of Outlook
to your newly installed PST file. To do that, look in your
help file under PST and look at "about data files." It
should tell you what you need. (The specifics will depend on
your Outlook version.)

All the best,
