I am transferring email accounts from my old XP with outlook 2002 to a new machine with XP and outlook 2007.

I got the pst file for one email account and put it on the new machine and it worked fine and all of my emails showed up but when i tried to make another profile and use the pst with that one the emails would show up.



Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

graphixfx,

Have you attempted to copy the original .PST, rename it, then import it into the new profile?

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply.

I eventually realized i was in express and this meant incompatibility for pst so I ended up exporting the email accounts to outlook(which I apparently also had but wasn't aware of, not a computer I use regularly) then exported the pst.

I also found that when importing the pst files to outlook 2007 the pst files would lose data. I ended up just opening the pst file (File>open data file or something like that) then copying the data into the folders already there.

Round about way to fix but I guess problem solved.
