Solve : Move email (Outlook) from one computer to the other?

Answer»

The PROBLEM is that I have MS Outlook on my computer. I would like to either have it moved to my other computer or somehow be able to view it in webmail.

The computer I have it on now is WINDOWS XP Home Edition.
The other, WIndows XP Media Center Edition.

I you need any more information, just ask.


Thank you If you have Microsoft Office Installed on ONE computer...and have the software for it...you should be able to install it on the other computer...and then perform an export/import.

Or...you can configure Microsoft Outlook to save a copy of your email on your mail server. This way you can view the email locally and through your webmail application, as well.

Just remember...if you delete the email from the mail server (via webmail)...that particular email will be gone for good.

Now...if you want to export any email from Outlook, you can do so...and then import it into the email client you're using on the other computer. It just depends on whether or not the email client on the new computer can import these files from Outlook. If not...then you're out of luck.

The best way...would be to just have any additional email coming in...saved on the server.Quote from: Saviour on June 08, 2008, 12:02:56 PM

Assuming he has a single user license for MS Office, he can't LEGALLY install it on another computer unless he removes it from the old computer.

Sanman, is transferring your MS Office software from one computer to another a feasible option for you?Quote from: soybean on June 08, 2008, 07:50:14 PM

I have MS Outlook on both computers.

Is it possible to access all of my previous and new emails in webmail? (including my folders [I don't want to organize all of my emails over again])

ThanksSanman...

If you want to view your previous email on the new computer...like I said before...you'll have to export those emails to a FLOPPY and then import them into Outlook on the new computer.

If you want to view your new email in Outlook, as well as web mail...then you will need to configure Outlook to leave a copy on the server.

That's one way of doing it, but my preference would be to just export to a .pst file, copy that file over to the other computer, then import it into Outlook on that computer.
