Hello,

I have windows xp. I am about to replace my hard drive.
I need to get all of my e-mail messages(inbox,sent
items,drafts,etc.) onto my new hard drive. What's the
best way to do this? ....copy to CD? If so, I looked
for .pst files and found only outlook.pst file and no
pab.pst file (address book) ....Is this the only .pst
file I will need?

thanks, john
 
File/Import & Export
Export to a file
Personal Folder File (.pst)
Choose the folder (and any sub folders) you want to export
Then save as and name it something easy
Finish
Don't bother with the compression thing just ok it

Repeat the process in reverse when you want to install
