I just transferred my Outlook Express data to Outlook
2000.

I now want to move that data (mail, calendar, and
addresses) and the settings to a new computer, which also
has Outlook 2000 installed.

Outlook is currently configured to pull mail from 2
accounts.

I don't care about customized toodbars, shortcuts,
nicknames, though.

What is the easiest, most idiot-proof way to do this?

Many thanks for your assistance!

Copy *.pst to cd, from cd to new hd. Ensure read only flag is off before in
OL File/Open/Personal Folders and browse to location

Thanks - I tried that and it seemed to work. I didn't
notice the "read only flag", so hopefully the default is
OFF.

Thank you for the advice!

You have to check the properties of the pst file to adjust read only, within
explorer
