My husbonds computer has crashed, and we dont know how to retrive the emails
to his new harddisk. Other files as pictures and accounting went ok. Can
anybody please help us?
 
For Outlook (not Outlook express)
copy the .pst file from the old drive to the Vista computer.
install Outlook on the Vista computer, open the .pst file.
 
It was outlook frome office 2000. He now finally managed to retrive the
emails, he just misread the tip from Dave.
Though, now he canot find the adressbook... Any ideas?
