Help with MS Outlook!!!

[mztykal]

How do I save my emails onto a cd and load them into another work
station? I'm trying to save my emails here at work, and I'm switching
over to a new and faster work station. How would I go about saving my
Outlook emails, with rules and burning them onto a cd, and then loading
them into my new computer?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well in OE, you can select "Export" _> "Messages" in the main menu. Otherwise, search for .dbx files, and copy all of those. They contain all the mailboxes and messages.

When you are loading onto the new system, just select "Import" > "Messages", then select all of the files you exported.

Find the .PST file Outlook is using (to save all your messages, contacts, etc.) I think you can EXPORT your Rules to a file as well when you go into Outlooks' rules. Export those to a file and after you re-install on your new computer, IMPORT the rules & point outlook to use your old PST file.

not sure about the rules, never tried to back those up

Or here is a utility that has a 15 day trial thats sounds like it would work.

Just copy the .pst file over to the new computer like Diggler said. Without a doubt the easiest way as it will create and populate all your folders, calendar etc.

Best way is to actually EXPORT your file to a backup.pst and import that into new one. MAKE SURE u selct your proper profile and check off folders and all subfolders, that will do it. Had to do it on 40+ pc's here at work when I upgraded last year!
