MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2008Outlook 2007 - How do I get my files and folders from laptop to PC
I am trying to figure out how to move all my past activities from my old laptop to my new pc. I used Outlook 2007 on my laptop and just intalled on my new PC. I was able to tranfer some files with Vista's Easy Transfer but most of my sent and deleted files that I need to copy were not transfered. I am on a small network and I can also burn a CD/DVD if needed, but I cannot figure out how to locate the Outlook files on the laptop and what to do after I locate them. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent step-by-step instructions here: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm  SignatureKathleen Orland - MVP Outlook Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ > I am trying to figure out how to move all my past activities from my old > laptop to my new pc.

I do appreciate your help, but I cannot locate the file with these instructions. On my laptop (vista) I don't have the options or steps they suggest taking. I tried and failed to locate the data on my laptop. Maybe I changed settings and now I am stuck having problems locating the past history on Outlook. Any other suggestions?????????????? > Excellent step-by-step instructions here: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > figure out how to locate the Outlook files on the laptop and what to do after > > I locate them. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you search hidden files/folders. Also make sure you enable the view of known file extensions. Then simply search for *.pst. There should be two, archive.pst which is your archived email and outlook.pst (unless it has been named something else) which is the data file you're looking for.

I had no success following your "VERY APPRECIATED HELP" When I try to do a search for the PST files, nothing comes back. A couple of year ago I was able to tranfer from one pc to another copying files and now I cannot figure out where to find them even with your help.

I read some Outlook instructions on how to make my contacts the address book, but for some reason I cannot do it. When I tried, the SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK is shaded and cannot put a check mark to get it done. SUGGESTIONS???? Thank you in advance to the geniuses.......... > SUCCESS.
