Is it possible for me to transfer my Emails, address Book and favourites from one computer to another???

If so, how?

Thanks.

 

I assume you mean from Outlook/Outlook express?

Yes you can - I did it for my old dear when we got a new PC - just gotta try and remember how I did it

Right, go into Outlook/Express, and click ADRESSES. In the new window click the TOOLS tab and click ACCOUNTS. Select the account used and on the right click EXPORT. Save it to a folder or something, or if you have a USB flash disk save it there (in a folder)

Once saved, if on HDD, copy it to a CD or email it to a webmail email address such as hotmail or gmail.

Then go to the machine you want to copy it to. If saved on a CD or flash disk, insert disk and copy the folder to the desktop. If you emailed it, download it to the desktop.

Then go into Outlook/Express, go to ADDRESSES, click TOOLS > ACCOUNTS and go to IMPORT. Browse to the desktop for the folder, open it and select the file and import it to Outlook/Express.

Should be all sorted now

 

Thanks very much

How to Back Up the Windows Address Book
Copy the .wab file to another folder. If you copy the .wab file to another folder, you do not need to change the file name:
1. Quit Outlook Express.
2. Create a new folder to store the .wab file in. For example:
C:\Backup
For information about how to create a folder, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type new folder, and then double-click the New Folders topic.

NOTE: You do not have to create a new folder; you can use a folder that already exists.
3. Locate the .wab file. To do so, click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
4. In the Named box, type *.wab, and then click Find Now.
5. Copy the username.wab file to the folder that you created in step 2, where username is the name or alias of the Outlook Express user that the .wab file belongs to.
