how to migrate the outlook express from Win2000 to Vista

#1 Post by rbi » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:07 am

How can I migrate all the emails, contacts and rules from my old T23 with Windows 2000 SP4 pro to my new R61 with Windows Vista? Really appreciate your help.

Look in:

Docs and Settings\your user id\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{bafflegab}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

There it all is. Copy to the new machine either:
1. to the same location and open OE or
2. to the same location and import it with OE.

Although Outlook Express is now Windows Mail but it should work the same way.

Windows Easy Transfer helps migrate email along with other core stuff.

Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools from within Vista.
