Let's start by saying I'm not a techie, and I work out of my home, so please
explain things SIMPLY to me, because I've got no one to ask. I have been
working for two Days to figure out how to move my outlook mail files,
contacts and calendar from my old XP, Office 2003 computer to my new Vista,
Office 2007 computer . The Microsoft help page says to backup your
outlook.pst files to an external device, and then use Explorer to move them
to drive:\Documents and settings\<user>\Local
Settings\application\Microsoft\Outlook folder. However when I used the
backup wizard to put the files on my external hard drive, it would not let me
open the Outlook folder on my XP computer, so I backed up the whole Outlook
folder. But I can't open my backup copy to get just the .pst file to move
it to the Outook folder on my Vista computer. So I figure I need to restore
the old Outlook folder onto my external drive and plug it into my new Visa
computer so I can open the folder on my new computer, and move just the .pst
file to the Outlook folder on the new Vista computer. Is this a good
assumption or is there a better way? Thank you for any help you can give me.
