Question

I am buying a new pc. Is there an easy way to transfer outlook express emails to the new pc?

Answer 1

Another way is forward them to yourself, leave them on your ISP's server, and when you get your new computer, download them again as normal.

Answer 2

The posters above are completely wrong.

You do not need to migrate emails in Outlook to the new pc unless you have deleted them from your email account and saved them on your hard drive on your pc. Then all you need to do is move them to a memory stick or a writable CD.

In any event, all you need to do is ensure that you have the right settings in Outlook for the email accounts and you will be able to view your emails from your email accounts without having to migrate them from your old pc to your new pc.

Answer 3

There are many ways of doing it - you can try reading through:

or you can find the AppData folder in your user profile on you operating system and find the Roaming or Local folder and under Microsoft you will find an Outlook Express folder with some profile folders - eventually you will get to the mail folders. You can replace the ones on the new PC with the old ones and that should automatically recognise them.

Answer 4

try copying them to a flashdrive then upload them to your new computer. You can also get people from PC World (Tech Guys) to copy all your old Hard Drive to your new one.
