Outlook XP question

[MaDDinGO]

I just got a new computer and I want to transfer all the emails in my inbox to the new computer. How do I transfer it all other than to fwd each one to myself? Is there a way to back it up or export it? Thanks..

Did you look before posting? Choose File menu then Import and Export.

theres an outlook.pst file that you can just transfer. it should contain all of your settings and contacts as well. its in a hidden folder, but you can just search for it, as long as you remember to search hidden folders as well.

Pst files don't contain settings, just contacts/emails/etc.
