I have spent all day and still cannot get my emails (in several folders) from
my old computer to my new computer. I have done everything instructed
(saving the email file on old computer, transferring to new computer via
Intellimover since it is too large for a CD and old computer does not have a
DVD writer and I cannot email the file even with cable internet as I get an
"operation failed" message when I try to attach the .pst file to an email to
send to new computer). With Intellimover (USB connection) the smallest
folder I can select to transfer is "My Documents" and I did save the .pst
file deep in that folder. The .pst file does show up on my new computer but
when I go through the steps to open it in my Outlook emails they simply are
not there. I am following the instructions but they do not open up in the
new computer email files.
