Outlook (2002 and 2003) and Outlook Express v6 both merge the resource and data forks together as a single file attachment. A couple of the same attachment is sent to a unix/sendmail server and it correctly delivers two attachments to the unix mail client. Any ideas? TIA art

Use any method to copy the old PST file from the old PC (while Outlook 
is closed!) to the new PC, then open it with Outlook. Make sure that the 
read-only attribute is not set when using a read-only media to transfer 
the file.

Do not use Export or Import in the process of migrating.

1.Migrating Outlook Express Contacts and Emails from Old pc notebook to new pc notebook's Windows mail

Yesterday, I bought a new HP laptop with Windows Vista preloaded. I could

harddrive (from my former laptop) which ran on the Windows XP operating 
system ot Windows Mail. Is there a way to do this? If so, do tell. 

2.Migrating Outlook Express 6 on old PC to Microsoft Mail on new PC

Others have asked about migrating from OE6 to Mail, but the answers given in 
Help and here assume that Outlook Express is on the same PC.  I am trying to 
get my files that are in OE6 on an old XP PC to Mail on the new Vista PC.  I 
have a data transfer cable that I have used for all my other data, but can 
not find the right files to transfer.  I was able to get the contacts over, 
but not messages.  I can find the dbx files on the old PC, but Mail does not 
want to import them.  Does anyone have the steps for getting all my folders 
and messages over?

3.Migrating All User profiles and data from an old pc to a new pc

I'm creating a procedure for reinstalling Office XP Pro on a new computer 
form an old one. This can be used in our organization when we replace PCs 
with newer ones or when someone's PC needs to be replaced for any reason. 

I worked on a migration project at a company that used Lotus Notes. With 
Lotus Notes installed but not configured for any users, we would copy certain 
files from the old PC to the new one and all the profiles, etc. would be in 
tact on the new PC. Of course with the new PC, if there were multiple users 
as well just one user, you would have to first log on to that PC as each user 
so a profile was created in Documents and Settings so you could copy any data 
files to the appropriate folder. When the procedure was done, the users could 
log onto the new computer and all the settings were the same as the old.

We needed to get files like notes.ini, favorites and a few others, copy them 
from the old computer to the new, replacing files such as the notes.ini. We 
even went as for as writing a script to make all folders that would be needed 
for their location on the new computer, copy the files from the old computer 
and putting them in the folders that we had created, zipping up the folder 
structure with all the files, and then moving the zip file to a network 
share. Once you had logged into the new computer as all the users that would 
be using it, we would extract the zip file to it, and the would neatly go to 
their correct location.

Does anyone know of all the files and their locations that I would need to 
do this with PCs using XP Pro and Office XP? I need to know all the files 
that are needed for Office XP. If done correctly, no configuration what so 
ever is needed. Obviously, you would need to get any PST and PAB files, but 
with only these you still need to setup all the profiles on the new computer. 
Is there an INI file that Outlook uses to store all these settings? Does this 
file or is there another one that tells Outlook where the user's data files 
are located?

Thanks

4.Moving from old pc to new pc - not receiving emails on new pc

On installing my isp and router on to my new pc I initially received the test 
email okay and a couple of emails that were due with no problems.
I can access the internet on the new pc with no problems.
But.....
all emails that are expected are still arriving on my old pc?

So .... I have done the following - 
To back up address book from old pc:
1. On the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book.
2. Select Text File (Comma Separated Values) and then click the Export button.
3. Browse to your desired location and type a name for the exported file. 
The file extension should remain CSV.

To restore address book on new pc:
1. On the File menu, click Import, and then click Other Address Book.
2. Select Text File (Comma Separated Values) and then click the Import button.
3. Browse to locate the previously saved CSV file.

To back up mail folders and content from old pc:
1. Click Options on the Tools menu.
2. On the Maintenance tab, click the Store Folder button.
3. Press the TAB key to highlight the store folder path, then press CTRL+C 
to copy it to the clipboard.
4. Close Outlook Express.
5. Click Run on the Start menu.
6. Press CTRL+V to paste the store folder path, and then click OK.
7. Copy all mail folder DBX files as well as the Folders.DBX file to your 
backup media. It is not necessary to copy newsgroup DBX files as these cannot 
normally be imported. It is essential that you include Folders.DBX in your 
backup.

To restore mail folders on to my new pc:
1. Copy the backup copies of your DBX files to a new empty folder on your 
hard disk.
2. In Outlook Express click Import on the File menu, then click Messages.
3. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and click Next.
4. Select Import mail from an OE6 store directory and click OK.
5. Browse to the folder with your backup DBX files and click Next

This all worked fine, thus creating a direct duplicate on my old pc and my 
new pc.
I have evn deleted my old account on my old pc but I still don't receive any 
emails on my new pc?

Can you help?


5.Migrate Outlook 2007 categories to new PC / PST file

A user has been upgraded to Outlook 2007. Now the user has a corrupted PST 
file that SCANPST will not fix. The data was exported to a new PST file, and 
the new PST file renamed as the original.  The Categories did not move with 
the PST data. The contacts still have the category, but the All Categories 
tool shows six, unused, default colored categories, and the categories for 
actual contacts show (not in Master Category list).  The colors are also not 
showing up. 
This is a workgroup environment, each user is allowed to have their own 
custom set of Categories, so there is no help from the Group Policy - Outlook 
template.
I know how to export and import Categories in Outlook 2003 using regedit. I  
see that custom categories are listed in the same registry key for Outlook 
2007 (HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Categories - 
MasterList. 
How does Microsoft plan that I can migrate my user Outlook 2007 Categories 
along with the rest of their Outlook data when the user gets a new PST file 
(or a new PC)?
