Hi , i've bought a new laptop and i need to transfer across, all my old
emails to my new laptop , as theres quite a lot of important information in
the emails spanning around 18months , i really need to keep them.

is there a data file i can copy across to my new laptop so that it has all
my old emails etc ? is this possible.

Advice welcomed.
 
There certainly is, but they vary by data format and location depending on
the e-mail client, operating system, and version of each. So for a more
detailed answer, post back with that information for both old and new
machines, and someone may have an answer.

Howdy,

Assuming that the OP posted to an Outlook group with
cause...<g>

Search for a file with the extension PST (might be
OUTLOOK.PST) and move it to the new system.

Then you will have to tell Outlook on the new system to
point to that file.

It contains everything you need.

All the best,

Thank you for your reply , i'm running outlook express , i've made a search
via the standard xp search for files and folders , but its not turned up any
pst files , one thing i can add though , is that i am using a spam filter
that works very well called K9 , i'm not sure this would of renamed the file
, i doudt it though.

So i'm a bit stuck....
 
Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

You haven't been following this group very much, have you?

Hi, Just Wondering;
Well, that's one piece of information, but hardly enough. Are you meaning to
transfer e-mail from Outlook Express to Outlook, or from Outlook to Outlook
Express, or perhaps from Outlook Express to Outlook express, not realizing
that Outlook Express is not a version of Outlook? Your procedure would be
different in each case.
Regards,
Ian.
