exporting Outlook 2003 to new PC, and no incoming messages

[Guest]

I've exported my outlook 2003 contacts, emails, and everything I need to a
new PC. My problem is that incoming messages are going to my old pc, and not
this new one (I'm able to send emails from both). Under email account name
and type, only one pop3 is listed. What do I need to do to get incoming
emails to go to the new PC?

Firstly, either remove the email account from outlook on your old PC, or
don't open outlook!

secondly, you need to set up your email account in Outlook on the new pc.

I wasn't getting the emails when the old Outlook was closed, I've opened it
now only to get those emails. I will close it and see if that helps, but it
wasn't making a difference earlier.
I believe that my email account is set up in Outlook on the new pc, because
I'm able to send messages.

I closed outlook on the old PC, and it didn't help, I'm still not getting
incoming messages on the new PC.
Like I said before, to my knowledge (which is limited), the email account is
set up on the new PC.
I really appreciate your help, I know I'm probably just missing something
simple. Thanks!

Then use the option to test your email accounts on the new PC
You will likely get an error
Post this back

No error. It sends a test email, but sends it to the original PC.

Wrong way to transfer data. NEVER use export or import when transferring
data between Outlook instances. It's unnecessary and you lose data. See
this:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm . You should be
able to use that to figure out how to transfer the data. Basically, you
simply copy the PST (with Outlook closed, of course).

Once I'm back to the original PC on Monday, I'll try that. However, through
exporting it, I got everything. I didn't lose any data. I'm not getting NEW
data. My other PC is shut down, so Outlook is closed. I've also disabled the
McAfee email virus scan on my computer, and still no emails. I'm not getting
any error messages when I test the settings. I'm assuming the test email is
going to the original pc. Emails that I send from a different account are NOT
coming back to undeliverable, they're getting to Outlook, just to the
ORIGINAL pc, not the new one. Do I need to change some kind of pop server
setting? Do I need to delete the old Outlook (although I'm afraid if I do
that, I won't have those new emails)...help!!

Okay, I've been messng around with it for awhile, and here is what I've found:

When I go to: Tools...Send/Receive.../1 pop-server.triad.rr.com

When I click on 1 pop-server.triad.rr.com, my inbox overflows with incoming
messages.

What I don't understand...how can I get my incoming messages to
automatically go into my inbox on this pc?

Tools-send/Receive-Send/receive settings-define send/receive groups and make
sure that "Include this group in send/receive" is checked, and that
"Schedule an automatic send/receive every" is checked and a time set for not
less than 10 minutes...

Gordon, thank you so much! I did all of that, and those boxes weren't
checked. However, when I sent a test email, this is the error message I got:

Task 'pop-server.triad.rr.com - Sending and Receiving' reported error
(0x80042108): 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail
server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server
administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I really appreciate your all's patience with me, thank you.

Should be "popDOTserver.triad.trr.com" (ie pop.server.triad.trr.com) not
"'pop-server.triad.rr.com " I suspect....

Well, pop-server.triad.rr.com is certainly a valid server name:

$ nslookup pop-server.triad.rr.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: POP-SERVER.TRIAD.RR.COM
Addresses: 24.25.4.161, 24.25.4.162
