Move account from one computer to another

[Amir]

Hello,

How can I move my account including everything (old e-
mails, address etc.) from my old computer to my new one ?
where is the data hiding ?

The simplest way should be to copy the file email.pst from
the old computer, then replace the file of the same name
on the new computer with this one.

Easiest way to find the file is to use search. Take a
look at the path once you've found it and you should find
that it is buried deep in the Documents and Settings
folder under

C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Your account information and your Outlook data items are not stored
together. See the link Milly mentioned for data location. The account
information is stored in the Registry. It's simplest, in my opinion, to
recreate your account(s) by hand on the new PC.
