Transfer to New PC

[Guest]

Hi,

I am moving my outlook from one PC to another. After setting up Outlook on
the new PC and getting it working with my ISP, I then copied over the
Outlook.pst and archive.pst files on top of the exiting ones.

Now when I open Outlook, I have two Personal Folders entirely duplicated.
new mail goes to both Inboxes, if I delete it, the email is moved from both
inboxes to both deleted Items.

And in my old PC I had an Unread Mail folder in my favorites, how do I get
this in my new outlook window

Thanks

Simon

Very bad idea.
Overwriting Outlook data files will corrupt your profile 100% of the time.
Create a new profile.
Read the help files to learn how to migrate Outlook data correctly.
If you can't figure out how to do that, post your Outlook version so we can
point you in the right direction.

Then you're the first.
Explain in sufficient detail what you did. We can't tell what you did wrong.
