How do i move emails from old computer to new?

[Sean Ooley]

How do I move all my old saved emails from outlook 2003 from my old computer
to my new one?

Thank you.

Find your .pst file and move it to the new computer. I'd suggest renaming it
yourname.pst and putting it in the folder of your choice (I personally don't
like to use the defaults - I redirect "My Documents" to something like
c:\data; create c:\data\outlook and put the PST file there, but that's just
my preference).

When you open Outlook the first time on the new PC, it will create a new PST
file - close Outlook after you've set up your accounts, find & delete the
new pst file, then open Outlook, and when it complains that it can't find
the data file, direct it to the new location.

Are they connected over a network? If so you can just move your PST file
over and use the Import function. Or, burn the PST file to a CDR or RW and
import it from there. You can also use the Outlook Backup tool to assist you
in making a backup of your PST file: http://tinyurl.com/2j5rk
