FOAK: Moving Outlook data from old PC to new laptop

I thought this would be quick, easy and almost automatic but nothing I
do gives me an obvious solution. I was expecting a 'wizard' to guide
me through it.

TIA

 

Outlook or Outlook Express?

Which version; from -> to?

 

Outlook 2002 on XP -> Outlook 2003 on Vista

 

Export everything into a .pst data file. All emails and contacts.

<file><import & export><export to a file><personal folder file .pst>
copy over the database file it creates
in your new system do the opposite and <import for another program or
file><personal folder file .pst>

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh
You are fucked.
HTH

 

Why not create a new account in Outlook and let this import from
the outlook express, then export to a PST, then transfer this to the new
system and import back into outlook, OK i know its not express but
its a way of getting contact and emails across.

Just my 1p worth.

Hmm, no one has told my laptop.

 

Ah, that seems to have done the trick.

AFAIK, older versions of Outlook are not compatible with Vista.
