How do I migrate my outlook 2003 folders & content to a new comp?

[Guest]

I have Outlook 2003 and have just gotten a new computer. What files/folders
do I need to copy and paste into my new Outlook 2003 (or backup and then
restore to my new computer) in order to save all my old
email/contacts/calendar settings/email filters, etc. to my new computer?

Have you tried using the Save My Settings wizard in the Office 2003 Tools
group? Also, you can move the files in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user
name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory.
Especially the PST files...

Unfortunately, I am not able to run the Wizzard on the Older Outlook, as my
HDD has decided to have some "fatal issues". I have however, found that it
seems to only be affecting my OS, and that much of my other folders, etc. are
still intact. My intent is to simply copy all my personal stuff over to my
new HDD. I was unsure if there was more to this than just moving the .pst
folders. I won't be able to preform the migration for another day or so, but
want to be prepared before I dive in and make a mistake.
As far as contacts, the only info I have found is migration through creation
of a .pst via the import/export wizzard. Not having that ability is there
another "file" I can just simply copy and paste (overwite) onto the new
Outlook? Additionally, same principle with my Calendar.


Thanks for your assistance.
