Moving messages to a new computer

[Ellie]

Is there any way other than the Files and Settings
transfer wizard to move e mail messages to a new computer?

Copy the pst-file to the new computer and connect to it by File-> Open->
Outlook Data File...

You can locate your pst-file by using one of the following methods;
a.. Search for it by typing *.pst as your query. Make sure you include
hidden and system files and folders when searching for your pst-file.

b.. Check the default location (Windows 2000 and Windows XP);
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

c.. From within Outlook;
Right click the root folder (most likely Outlook Today)-> Properties->
button Advanced...-> field Filename
