here is the method I use.  In outlook, go to file, export. You have two options: addresses, messages. You most likely want to export both. Export them to a couple of files on your C: drive and then depending on how large they are, etc., either copy them to a CD, or other media form or possibly, if the 2 computers are sharing a lan, just copy from one computer to the other.  Then on the other computer, in Outlook do file, import and point to where the files are stored.

If you are using an email program like Outlook or Outlook Express then no, you won't lose them.  They are in your computer in that program.

The file you are looking for is called "outlook.pst"\n\nIt is located in \n   C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;User&#92;Local Settings&#92;Application Data&#92;Microsoft&#92;Outlook\n\nYou'll want to copy all of the files found there, including any Personal Folders and archive files. \n\nGood luck with the re-install

Well, if you use a local e-mail client that downloads the e-mails from a POP server it is easy, since most of them allow you to save the e-mails as separate files, or even in a complete offline folder that you can reconnect when your new e-mail is configured.\n\nHans

I use Oulook, but it is very similar to Outlook Express. Outlook comes with the Microsoft Office package, and is a much better program.\n\nOpen Outlook Expresss, and click on Tools, then Options. Now click on the Other tab, and you will see the AutoArchive feature in the middle. Click on AutoArchive, and uncheck the box that says AutoArchive ever ___ days.\n\nYou can change this setting to no more than 60 days, so if that isn't enough, just uncheck the box to turn it off.

The answer is NO!  Your posts will not be lost.  If the photos are posted on yahoo of something, you won't lose those either. Those are not hosted on your computer but hosted on Yahoo or whereever else you posted them.  What you would lose if you format it is anything on your laptop harddrive.\n\nNow, if you are running XP, you don't have to REFORMAT to fix your OS issues.  \n\nJust reinstall XP.  \n\nWhen the screen asks about installing in the current C:&#92;WINDOWS folder, answer YES! That is what you WANT to do.\n What happens is, Windows is reloaded and everything you have on your computer remains where it is. The only change is the C:&#92;windows folder itself.\n\nDO NOT SAY "YES" TO REMOVING THE PARTITION!!  \n\nChoose instead to KEEP the existing partitions IN TACT!  That isn't necessary and removing the partition is the same as a format.  \n\nRemember Format, BAD!  Removing partition, BAD\nIn Tact partition, GOOD!  \nSorry. I had a Dana Carvey moment. :)\n\nIMPORTANT!\nThis works, but what you need to remember to do is copy your MY Documents, MY Pictures and your Favorites to another location like to your downloads folder for safe keeping.  A new Windows install will overwrite those!!!  \n\nEdit: If you use Outlook Express and have email addresses you need to keep, copy your wab and wabmig files too. They too will be overwritten!\n\nThe other thing you'll need to do is re-install your programs because the registry entries for those programs will no longer exist. And that is more than likely where your problems are.  Now you'll see those when the reinstall is finished but they won't work properly.  That is because the pointers are gone.  \n\nNow and print this post and read it a few times before you get started.  You can do this.  Holla back.\n\nHope this helps. \n\n-J

use the windows file and setting transfer wizard.\non the start menu at the top of All Programs when you first setup your new machine.\n\nextract from Windows Help files\n\nUsing the Files and Settings Transfer WizardThe Files and Settings Transfer Wizard helps you move your data files and personal settings from your old computer to your new one, without having to go through much of the same configuration you did with your old computer. For example, you can take your personal display properties, folder and taskbar options, and Internet browser and e-mail settings from your old computer and place them on the new one. The wizard will also move specific files or entire folders, such as My Documents, My Pictures, and Favorites. Passwords are not moved with program settings when you use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This is a feature of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that helps to keep your passwords confidential.\n\nWe recommend that you install a virus detection program on the new computer before transferring files over from the old computer. This can help protect your new computer from viruses that may be contained in the files transferred over from your old computer.\n\nOpen the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.\n\n Notes\n\nTo open the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. \nFor more information, click Related Topics.

Are you serious?\n\nIf you are using any web based email account, just log in like you would do in a your older PC.\n\nHowever if you are using outlook and you are try to access messages that are stored on the older PC hard drive. In that case you will have to set up a network between those two PCs, install outlook on the newer PC and set it up so that it will store and read messages from a shared folder on the  older  PC.
