reinstalling Outlook on new machine

[Roscoe P Pendoscoe]

A little help please.

Due to a lock up while installin g a new 250gb drive in place of an
older 40 gb drive I now have a semi-working computer (barely most
tasks)

I have numerous e-mail addys and can receive but not send although
test send work but actual messages fail.

I want to now resurrect an older woking computer and then fix the
original box that failed with the drive upgrade,

Since it has been so long since I have built and configured one off
things (have 8 total dating back to PIII's) I am at a loss on how to
properly transfer my OUTLOOK settings to the interim box, then to the
failed drive upgrade box ultimately so I can send and receive w/o
errors.

Because of the failure, half my system is on C and some is on D,
please do not even try to figure it out as I have went nut trying. The
D drive is actually the boot drive and NTFS and rest of drives (RAID)
and Ccc drive is FAT32.........................

I asked a computer shop to clone the drive to make it easy and then
they told me 2 weeks after initially telling me they'd do it while I
wait if I purchased the new 250gb there. They then backed out. I did
it since I had already removed it and the 40 gb was giving signs of
failure.

So to shorten this long-winded mess, please tell me how to transfer
OUTLOK and its settings to the interim box so all addresses work.


Many thanks for yyour time,

One has to assume that your edition of Outlook or Office is a retail edition
that you can install on the new PC
If its an OEM edition its tied to the origonal PC

Thanks for help. It is a retail copy as I built this about 1 1/2 years
ago.

Just for info before I get around to fixing this properly, why am I
able to send test messages but a normally configured and sent message
fails?

If there is a way to fix it I would be grateful as now I have to
receive in Outlook then reply with/through my HOTMAIL account. It is
silly and only because I am a procrastinator and have other options
