I am trying to export my OL2K Personal Folders so that I can upgrade
my HDD. I have deleted the "Sent Items" and unnecessary "Inbox"
messages and then emptied the "Trash" folder. The result is that
there are very few messages left in the Personal Folders - maybe less
than 10 Mb.

When I export the Personal Folders (including the subdirectories) the
resilting file is in the 400 Mb range. I notice that the "Journal"
folder and the "Calendar" take a LONG time to export. This is curious
because I have the Journal option turned off and I don't use the
calendar.

How can I empty the Journal and Calendar OR just NOT export them?

TIA

Chuck
 
Actually, you'd be much better off just copying the entire .PST file and
re-using it when you have the new hard drive installed. How big is the .PST
file? Is there any reason you couldn't just copy it?
