Samrc Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 We are replacing my work machine with a better one and I am replacing my home machine too! I use OUTLOOK & OUTLOOK EXPRESS for my emails. I can not remember since the last time I moved data which files to back up to keep my emails, contacts, address books, etc. HELP please. And if there are other files/folders (My docs of course) that you folks can think of to remember to transfer also that would be appreciated!!! The office system will be completely restored so someone else can inherit a new machine. The home machine is on last legs. Won't have a second chance to go back to the system to recover files I should have grabbed! What a headache! But will be better once both systems are fully functional again! -Samantha Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Open Outlook Express on the machine you want to back up, go into Tool then Options and then the Maintenance tab. Click the button that's labeled Store Folder. Backup the folder that is listed there. Should be something similar in Outlook.

Samrc Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 Thank you Bruce!!! Taking tons of screen prints of registered serial numbers so when I reinstall programs I won't be up a creek! -Samantha Quote
