Help! Where do i find emails so i can transfer them to my new PC?

MS Office & Outlook. Just need to save all my emails and move them to my new computer/s

in Outlook, click File then Import and Export

then click on Export to a File

select Personal Folder File (.pst)

Click on the top of the directory of folders (should be named Personal folder)

make sure Include Subfolders is ticked

then select somewhere to put the file (like My Documents etc)

click finish and sit back and grab a coffee cos if u have a lot of emails it'll take a while

(all this is presuming u have Outlook 2003)

;)
 
Great on the same subject,

What if Microsoft Mail has decided auto archived all my messages how do i reverse the process?
:confused:
 
I thin this is what your after. before you do it, 1) make sure you have a backup of all your emails and 2) do a search for archive.pst on ur PC as you will need to specify where this is below (this is what the archive file is normally called)

On the File menu, click Import and Export.

Click Import from another program or file. Click Next.

Click Personal Folder File (.pst). Click Next.

In the File to import box, type in the path to archive.pst file (use the browse button is better!). Click Next.

Click the folder to import from. If you want, click Include subfolders.

Specify how you want Outlook to handle duplicate items.

Click Import items into the same folder in, and then click the folders with the same name as the folders you're importing from.

Click Finish.

hope that helps!
 
Slightly away from the actual question but I found I was always copying the email directory from one PC to another.

Now I send a copy of all my emails from all my accounts to one gmail account so no more backups required. Plus easy remote access when on the road.
