Okay, this is pretty easy if you are using Outlook 2002 (XP), I don't know
for sure about other versions but I think its close to the same process.

Click (in the folder list) to highlight the mail folder in the to be
exported. Then click on "File" (menu tool bar), then choose "import and
export".

The export wizard will open. Then pick the top one; "export to a file, click
next.

Then choose, "Personal folder file .pst", click next.

Make sure the folder you want to export is highlighted, then check the "sub
folders" box if this folder has them, then click next.

Pick a place to save the file - desktop is easy to find later. Make sure the
file has the extension ".pst", click "Finish"

Then move the file to some kind of media if too large to email.

Download to mew computer.

Reverse the process to add to new Outlook program. Be sure to place in
"mail" folders. Hope this helps.

It's WAY easier than what is described here if both systems have any Outlook
from Oyutlook 97 through 2002 on them. Simply copy the .pst file from one
system to the other. On the second system, in Outlook, just pick
Files>Open, point to the PST file and voila! It's there.

That will move ALL the outlook files. This person just wants to move ONE
mail box only.

In that case, the user could create a new .PST file (File | New), copy the
Contacts to it, and then do as Brian described.

What you and Brian suggest will create a new profile and overwrite the
profile on the second computer. Again, this person just wants to move one,
and one only, single mail folder to another computer's outlook profile,
keeping all that computers outlook folders intact and unmodified. If this
person does what Brain and you suggest (to a lesser degree) the second
computers outlook folders will be replaced and gone forever. He just wants
one folder moved.

For the person who requested this help - unless you wish to have the second
computers outlook changed to a mirror copy of the original (yours), you
better just do as I suggested in my first reply. It's really very simple. I
have done it dozens times and it takes about two minutes.

The .PST file and the profile are not the same thing. One profile can
access many different .PST files. Why do you think creating a new .PST
file, or opening it on another computer, will delete an existing profile?
That's not how it works at all.
