Outlook PST file and migration
I'm migrating my e-mail from my old mail server and my old PC to a new PC and a new mail server (QWest). What files do i need to get all my received e-mail moved. Is everthing from the Mailbox and Personal Folders contained in the PST file? Seem like that only contains my Personal Folders. If so, how to I get my other e-mail?

Unless you created additional PST files to home extra data, the PST file contains all mail, calendar and contacts.

I'm currently using a Microsoft Exchange Server if that makes any difference. I think it will be a POP3 server with my new e-mail provider, QWest.

When I try to export, I get "PST usage is disabled on this computer" message. Note: I do have a PST file and the date gets updated when I put e-mail into my "Personal Folders". I see my OST file update when I put e-mail into my Mailbox Cabinet.

I can copy my current PST file but I don't think it contains mail from my mail box just my personnal folder. Are you saying to edit the registery then try to export my mail box?

Could I not this?
Inside of Outlook, copy my data from my in box into my Personal folder. Then the PST file would contain everything. Does that make sense?
