?? Move Outlook email from one HD to another?

[bluemax]

I had all all info (including WinXP) on one drive.
System died, HDD survived.

On an old P3-450 klunker (all I could afford) I installed Win2K (XP is too slow with only 192MB) and OfficeXP on a different drive.

How can I properly transfer all the email from old drive to new... *.PST didn't turn up anything...

Noone...? 🙁

Look in Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

EDIT: You may have to take ownership of the directory in order to access it. Make sure hidden files and folders are accessible in Windows Explorer.

I hope there's not much more to it.... 🙁 I have several folders of email, not just one In basket.

dump them into a personal folder (.pst file)

Hope that's easy to do since you didn't tell me how. 😕

1 problem...

PST files are not in Outlook Express... only Outlook.

Office XP uses .pst files so it will be there. It will under your username, then using Outlook XP can load them agian.
