Moving my files to a new computer

[Tolgan]

So I've copied my old .pst file to my new computer, used Tools>options>mail
setup>data files to introduce outlook to it, and reset it to to default and
removed the old entry so there is just the one entry in the list. Both my
new and old outlooks are 2003.

So far so good and I can see my mail folders and contacts in the left hand
pane, *but* tools>address book is not showing any of my contact addresses,
nor will check names show them. Anyone know whay or can point me at an
article that tells me what to do?

Also, I have several email accounts is there an easy way of moving them from
the old to the new computer?

Thanks

Chris (tolgan)

Whenever you change your data file, you must reset the Outlook Address Book
Service to use it.

You can try Office's Save My Settings Wizard or Windows XP's Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard to move your account information. I don't recommend
either. I'd just recreate your account settings.
