i'm trying to transfer my outlook data from one computer to another, but i have no idea what file those data are stored nor do i know what folder that file is located in. anyone have a clue??

 

in ur old computer


go to file

import/export

export

export to a file

then there should be an option for a ".pst" file i believe

then copy that file to ur new computer, and go to "import file"

etc.

 

thanks. i'll give it a try

 

You'll generally have an outlook.pst file in the folder "Documents and Settings<your user name>Application DataMicrosoftOutlook". If you use the auto-archive function you'll generally have an archive.pst file too.

The best idea is to use the search function and find all the .PST files on your hard disk.

 

It's
...Local SettingsApplication Data...
(at least on my computer)

and both Local Settings and Application Data are hidden directories.

Import/export is probably still easier in the end.

 

is this a hidden file?? i tried doing a search for *.pst on my HD and nothing shows up...

 

Is this Outlook Express by any chance? If so, which version?
