Find the .pst file in the first laptop and C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Be sure to unhide files before trying to find it. Copy it to external media such as a flash drive or external hard drive. Paste it somewhere you will remember in the new lap top. Open Outlook. Use File/Open/Outlook Data File and navigate to where you pasted the copy. Open it. Copy anything you want from the copied .pst file to Outlook. Close the copied .pst file. Done. Alias Hi, Alias, Thanks for the advice. I found the archieve.pst file in the directory you indicated on the C drive. I also found a smaller file called extend.dat Do I need to move this file too or can I ignore it? I also assume that I have to go into start settings, control panel, mail and set up a matching user profile o nthe new XP pc correct? thank you.

No, just open the copied .pst file and move whatever you want to the default .pst file.

This is just what I was looking for.

This is just what I was looking for. You don't want to use the import/export method but this one: Restore manually 1. Choose File-> Open-> Outlook Data File… 2. Browse to the location where you’ve restored the pst file (D:\My Documents\My Outlook\Temp) 3. You’ll now see an additional set of folders added to your folder list which you can expand. Expand the list and select the Inbox folder 4. In this folder select the messages you want to restore to the original Inbox folder 5. Drag & drop them to the default Inbox folder 6. Do the same for the Contacts folder. You might want to set your view to a list view so you can easily select and move the items. To change the view choose View-> Arrange By-> Category 7. Now that the importing is complete right click the pst-file added in step 2 and choose Disconnect 8. Restart Outlook and remove the export.pst file from the Temp directory if desired Alias You can also use Windows User State Migration Tool Signature£ukasz Olejnik Netimpress.pl >I am new to outlook 2003 and need to move or migrate all of my outlook 2003 > email data and calendar stuff off of one xp laptop and onto a new xp > laptop. > My email server is Gordano.
