Hi,

 

Is there a file for outlook express that has all your settings, as in email account details?

 

Vijay

yes somewhere google for outlook changing pc same settings comes up on there, i had to do it a while ago and it worked for me

what settings do you need?

When you install Outlook it defaults to creating your

mail file store (PST) in the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application

Data\Microsoft\Outlook

 

1. After you install Outlook onto the new machine, you

just need to copy the PST from the original machine to

the new one.

2. If your not changing the version of Outlook, you can

just replace the default PST file created with one from

the original machine. There are other ways of doing this,

but this would be the simplest.

3. If your upgrading your version of Outlook you will

want to import the content of the original after you

install the newer version (there is an Import/Export

option on the File menu of Outlook)

Cheers guys :)

 

Stevie, I always have to write down all the properties of my email accounts when I install windows. I was looking for an easier way and now I have it :)

 

Just looked for the the outlook filder and it's not in the microsoft directory :(
