how do you transfer microsoft outlook emails from one computer to another without emailing each email seperate

Question

I just got a new computer and i do not know how to transfer all of my microsoft outlook emails from my old computer to the new one. I know that i could email each individual email from the old one to a different email account, but i have over 1,000 emails and that is unreasonable.

Is there any way to copy, export, etc. these emails, that is time efficient?

Answer 1

By default, all mails comes under your Mailbox -> -> Inbox is kept in the server itself, so no matter which computer you use, you can configure the outlook and it will load all the messages from the server. But if you have any personal folders and have a bulk load of mails in it, thats is stored locally on your hard drive which can be transferred by copying the corresponding .pst file.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder and look for .pst files (this is the default location, it may change). Those are the files which stores your personal folder mails. Copy those files to your new PC, after configuring outoolk, Click File -> Open Outlook Data File -> .pst -> and browse for the .pst files you copied. Your personal folders will be created and will appear on your new outlook.
