Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / August 2006Outlook Office 2000 to XP
I've been wanting to install xp for a while, but I have no clue how to xport my old outlook files/emails onto my system after I've re-installed the new version. I have been reading a lot on people who are asking the same questions, but the references are all to outlook 5 or 6 express. Because I only have office 2000, will this pose a problem on xp? Would it be as easy as saving the pst file and just importing it into the new outlook? Many many thanks for your help!  SignatureKathy S What version of MS Outlook are you referring to? The best place to ask would be in one of the Outlook or Office newsgroups.

Do NOT send email. If you don't want to manually setup the email connnection again, you can save this as an *.iaf file, just as in OE. If you're using OE's newsreader either through OE itself, or backdooring from Outlook, you can also save the news server(s) connections in *.iaf file format. Outlook 2K has an addon for backing up what folders you select from contacts, email, calendar etc. within Outlook's folders while Outlook is open. If you choose the root personal folder, all will be saved. During installation of this add-on, it offers to intermittently backup your selections on a regular time period basis that you choose. All to a pst file format to a location of your liking. Saving to external media or separate media is best, not the local hard drive. During restore process, restore FROM the pst file to its source original location in outlook 2K. Open outlook 2K, use the file- import/export selection, select import, roll down to pst file for restoration. Above is bit more tedious than that, but that's it in a nutshell. Check the MS update site for Outlook and choose 2K version to find the add-on I spoke of.

Jonny I have tried saving the "original" archive folder in question (from th old computer) as a *pst file, but OE 6 (new computer XP) does no recognize it at all; but gives me options (other file extensions) tha OE 2000 (old computer) does not recognize. I've managed to restore archived files before (via the *pst files) bu it was always with Win98, not on X -- Kathy S > "Outlook 2K has an addon for backing up what folders you select from > contacts, email, calendar etc. within Outlook's folders while Outlook [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > I've managed to restore archived files before (via the *pst files) but > it was always with Win98, not on XP Am not speaking of saving with Outlook itself, which saves an archive pst file if you choose that. No add-on is required for that. I've avoided the default pst of Outlook and any archives because of restoration problems I've always had with them in the past, especially in 98SE environment. OE - Outlook Express - is not considered Outlook. No matter what numbers are on the end of it. Office 2000 is a group of MS applications which also includes Outlook 2000. OE (Outlook Express) is provided by MS as part of both XP and 98 operating systems. 98's is an older version. XP's is newer, and has been upgraded since by online updates. If you mean "Outlook Express", feel free to reinput your cry for help under a new post. SignatureJonny |
