How do I transfer all Outlook emails to a new computer?

[Guest]

I think I have the same question as Frank but to clarify, I want to move,
transfer, export, copy, etc. all emails from all my Outlook Personal Folders
to my other computer with a new install of Office XP. I want to move emails
from all folders: Inbox, Sent Items, Contacts, every folder. How do I do this?

All of your data is contained in files with a .pst file extension,
which is normally a hidden file. I would suggest moving all of the
messages out of your Inbox, Sent Items folder, etc., and putting them
into user-created folders, as using default folders for storage is a
good way to corrupt your message store. Copy any .pst file onto a CD
or other appropriate media. Then, copy the .pst file(s) onto the new
computer, making sure not to overwrite files with the same name, and
clear the Read Only attribute on the file(s). Then, in Outlook, open
up the newly transferred .pst file(s) and transfer any wanted data
into the appropriate folders in your new Outlook install.
