How
to Backup Outlook Express (OE) Email, Settings, Address Book, Rules, and Accounts
One
of the most common questions that new computer owners ask is how to go about moving
their Outlook Express (OE) email, folders, acounts, settings, rules, and address
book over to their new computer. This tutorial will show you how to transfer your
Outlook Express (OE) Email, your Address Book, your Account Information, your
Email filtering rules, and your settings to Outlook Express on your new computer.
You can also use this procedure as a regular backup for your Outlook Express (OE)
information if you are not migrating to a new PC. Just copy it to a disk or burn
it to a CD for a handy Outlook Express (OE) backup.
*note* - You do not have to move all of these items if you do not wish to. For example,
some people do not create rules to filter their Outlook Express (OE)email into
different folders. If you have never created rules, there will not be any rules
to move. If you only want to move your Outlook express (OE) address book, you
can move just your address book and nothing else. You can migrate each of the
items listed above independantly of each other.
If
you are migrating your Outlook Express (OE) email, address book, accounts, settings,
or rules to a new PC, you will need the following:
- Your Old Computer
equipped with a CD-RW drive (a floppy drive may work in some cases)
- Your
new Computer hooked up and powered on
