Transfering emails to another comp

Hi All

A relative, who uses Outook for her email, has just bought another
computer and would like to transfer ALL her mail on to the new comp en
masse. She has no network, just a DVD writer. I don't use Outlook and
she hasn't a clue where to start. Can anyone tell me where the
default folder is that holds her emails and if it would it be possible
to copy this folder to disc and then paste into same on new comp.
Would there be any problem with this or does anyone have any other
suggestions.

Thanks for any help

The default location is: G:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\

Her data is in the .pst file. She might also want to transfer the .nk2
file. I don't know about the other files in there.

With Outlook closed, she should zip the files she wants to transfer.
Then write the zip file to cd. Take the cd to the new computer, and do
the reverse.

She really ought to be able to manage the connection of the two computers
with a USB cable.
