I did a Files and Transfer Settings transfer from my old computer to the new
one and it did not include the Outlook's PST file. It includes the Outlook
Express accounts and settings, but nothing with the Outlook. I have to set
it up all over again.

Did I miss something?

Thanks,

Gordon
 
A better transfer tool for Outlook data is the Save My Settings Wizard that comes with Office.

It seems to only do the configuration of XP. Outlook is part of Office,
which is not normally included with XP.
 
Correct. you should use the office save my settings wizard - you'll still
need to move the pst - but it'll move the accounts.

Actually, you can tweak the .ini file to make it back up any kind of file. But .pst files are so large, they're often copied separately.

I wasn't aware you could include the .Pst, Thanks.
