Hi Sam:

I am using Pop3, besides, I don't see any .pst file under Program Files>Outlook Express
Can you tell me the location of .pst files?

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express?

Hi Sam & Ashwin:

I am using outlook express, thanks for your answer. Both of your answer is correct. But to be fair, I increase points from 250 to 500 and distribute equally.

Cheers!

Or you can load outlook on your Windows 2000 machine and right click on "Personal Folders" in the folder view and select "Properties" then click on the "Advanced" button, and it should have a field that lists the full path and file name for your PST file.

If you are using Outlook Express you will need to either copy over the directory containing the Outook Express .dbx files or import your mail into Outlook and then copy over the .pst file. If you've already manged to copy it all then great. If not post another comment here and we can help through the end (Outlook Express can be a little more tricky then Outlook).

God bless!

Sam

PS. ThanX for the points!

I kind of assumed that you were asking Microsoft outlook ..

As Sam has said , Outlook express uses DBX files
