How to Recover Old Mail and Account Settings

Guest

We upgraded to XP pro here, and have been doing a number of upgrades to our
desktops and server.... THis has created new local profiles/identities on
everyones machine... Problem now is when we go into Outlook, it is coming up
as
a new program, prompting you for setting up accounts, etc... There has to be
a way to locate our old account settings, mail, folders we had previously
set up in
Outlook, so we don't have to re-do settup, and lose all our old mail and
folders... I do
understand how to recover this information on the Outlook Express level ,
with locating the old .dbx files and copying them into the new Express
profile..yada yada yada.... But I know Outlook doesn't use the same .dbx
files so what do I have to look for and do in order to recover my old
information???? Please help, much appreciated

Do a search for a file called outlook.pst. Find its location and then use the
import function in outlook and browse to the file that should contain the old
emails. This will give you the folders and e-mail, but not account settings i
dont know how to transfer them, maybe someone else does?
